Yes.  As far as I know, licensure by examination is how initial licensure must be obtained in the US.  I am not sure how the endorsement process works if you are licensed from another country - I do know that nurses licensed in the UK have had to take NCLEX to be licensed here.


HTH, congrats on your graduation, and good luck!
