Taking NCLEX in the US as a Non-US Resident?

❓General Question / Advice

Hello! Does anyone here know if I can take the NCLEX in the US even if I’m not a US resident? I’ll be staying with my family there, and I’m planning to review for my NCLEX while I’m in the US and possibly take the exam there as well.

Is this possible on a tourist visa? Are there any additional requirements or documents needed? Also, would it be better to apply through a specific state board of nursing if I’m not residing in the US?
