The California board of Nursing won't issue a license unless you have a SSN. Other states may offer a license, which can be transfered to any other state which you qualify.

SSN - Social Security Number:

You apply for one in person (if you enter USA on immigrant or non immigrant Visa), It's basically used to work and is your ID #.

I don't think Cali. will issue a RN Licenses, unless you provide a SSN. I think the state of Vermont and some other state will issue a license without a SSN.

Do some more research and find out what states issue licenses w/o SSN.

I don't know the detail, But I think years of schooling in USA would be required first.

You can probably find your answer on the net regarding requirements for Foreign Trained lawyers trying to pratice in USA.
YES You can apply for the bar in the US with a law degree from the Philippines

the most reliable poster here would have to be Itzallgood since she is now a US nurse attorney who obtained her bsn and law degrees from the Philippines. others just give their opinion and pitch in either incorrect or irrelevant information.

I will try my best to pass the NCLEX-RN and Bar exams in thUnited Statese . My cousins are already Registered Nurses and a Lawyer there in the United States and that I hope and looking forward that I can be one like them someday.


God bless guys! Happy Easter!
Your cousin is a lawyer in the US, is your cousin also an attorney? There is a difference between the two. Your cousin doesn't know if you can take the BAR in the state that you wish to practice in? I would ask your cousin to get his/her input.
