No. You would need to have attended and completed a nursing program. You do not apply to take the NCLEX. You apply for a nursing license and passing the NCLEX is just part of that process.You would need to obtain a BSN (4 year nursing degree) before applying for licensure in the US.

One more time..... YOU MUST HAVE A DEGREE OR A CERTIFICATE/DIPLOMA IN NURSING FROM A PROGRAM THAT IS DEEMED COMPARABLE TO THE EDUCATION A NURSE IN THE UNITED STATES RECEIVES BEFORE YOU CAN APPLY TO TAKE THE NCLEX! f it was a simple as taking the exam without having the degree to go with it, don't you think that hundreds of thousands nursing assistants in America would be trying to take the test without having earned a degree? Since you are so enamoured with nursing in the US, you should apply for a visa to the US. Once here, attend a university and earn a degree in Nursing like the rest of American nurses have to.
