Took NPTE in TX but want to get licensed in CA--what should I do? (pls help)
Unfortunately I thought that in order to get my license, I have to get it through the state I took it in (TX) as I was able to take it there in April unlike in CA (which has to wait until July). So I started the TX application and paid the fee ( :( ) which was super dumb I know.
My question is: Am I able to apply for a CA license now after passing NPTE in TX without getting licensed in Tx first? I won't be working in TX.
My perception was that my NPTE pass wouldn't matter given that CA applicants cant take it til July, but I now see (or think) that doesn't matter.
Also I'm wondering if recruiters often reimburse for licensing (in the contract state)? from my understanding it depends on the agency, but wondering how common this is. Any tips for finding agencies would be nice too - I'm using Vivian to find them but I don't know if there's something else to do/something better.
any guidance helps. I need help so bad I feel like im in the dark :(((( Pls don't judge
