Contact the California Department of Consumer Affiars, professional licensing division. There is no Board of Nursing. Everything is handled by the Department of CA.

It is a long process. First she needs to find a sponsor (employer) in CA willing to hire her. Just go to the hospital websites, look under jobs, and look for something like "foreign nurse opportunities." Once she has arranged employement, she'll need to arrange to take one or more exams. Many people coming to the US use the CGFNS (http://www.cgfns.org/). I would recommend contacting them for more info. I think after the CGFNS exam, then she'll need to come here, start her new job, and then take the NCLEX (USA nursing boards).
