If I take the NCLEX in one state and then move to another state, is my license still valid?
You would need to reapply to the state in which you wish to reside. It's not necessary to retake the NCLEX, but it may involve taking some more nursing classes.
The only exception to this is if you reside in one of the states in the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC), and you're not moving your primary residence from state to state. Then you would not even need to reapply.
