Help! Re-applying for NCLEX!

by butchik

Hi. I am new to this thread. I passed the NCLEX in 2003, but decided to put the American dream aside and pursue medschool. Eventually I do not intend to completely abandon acquiring a U.S. license, but I have only until December to submit social security #. If the moment my application gets abandoned, can I just re-apply? And since California requires social security #, I was thinking of going thru other routes (like Vermont), if that's possible?

Try to write to Ca BRN and request for extension by citing your situation. Tell them that you have no plans to abandon your application and request to retain your documents. Who knows, it may give you an extension. There is nothing wrong in trying.

It is also possible to take other routes but you better do that before it expires.

I guess you'd lose the application money you sent to Ca if your file is abandoned, but you can just apply to another state whenever you want (will have to get transcripts sent again, etc).

Sorry, but all you will need to do is submit another application to CA. You do not need to retest.

They do not grant extensions on the original application.

Thank you for the response. But I am just wondering.. Since CA requires social security #, and submitting another application to them might mean putting myself through the same ordeal again (stuck without the license), can I opt to submit a new application to Vermont this time? Since I kind of regret taking the CA route the first time.

Sorry I had no one else to turn to. I am submitting a new application, and have elected to go thru Vermont (for reason stated on my previous post). Can anyone please help? Is my application still going to be licensure by examination? Which agency has my nclex board score (is it California board or pearson vue)? I am a little unsure who to write to for board scores should I receive another ATT for submitting a new application.

You must go thru the License by Examination process, as you do not have a license that has been issued to you. CA will send verification to Vermont of your passing score, but you cannot use the Endorsement application.

Just to make a follow up to an earlier post, Suzanne4. Vermont just approved my application (by licensure). But I am a little unsure about asking for board scores (from California to Vermont). Do I just ask California to send a copy of my test result to Vermont? No explanation required? And aren't these state boards used to receiving NCLEX results from Pearson (not from another state)? Just a thought.
