hello guys, i have question i planning to retake my nclex rn california this year. I just want to know what is the requirement? Do i need again sent my TOR and local license? or i just pay for exam? I also want to know what if i get my license in Vermont?? is that ok if retrogression finish i will start working in california instead in vermont?

I don't know how to explain my situation but do you guys think is ok to endorse my nclex in vermont even i will never work in vermont because my family are all in california. OR i just retake the nclex rn to prevent problem in the future because i will never really work in vermont i just want to prevent expiration of my exam. pls answer related to my question. i know california have economic problem but i am already in this situation, can you guys pls give a suggestion reexam after expiration or get my license in vermont instead?

By the way what is requirement in vermont to get your usrn license? do i only need to passed my nclex result that i passed?

Let me clear up some mis-conceptions that you apparently have:

1. NCLEX-RN results do not expire. What will expire is the application that you made to CA BRN. Still not sure if it has or has not at this point in time.

2. You brought up the state of VT, that was never brought up by me.

3. There is no such thing as fixing of papers as you call it. If you get licensed in another state and then wish to work in CA, you will have to endorse your license to CA.

4. You cannot sit for the exam for CA again without having to start the process all over again. Once a file is expired, then everything else that was sent in with it no longer exists and this means transcripts, fingerprints and everything else that they require.

5. This is why we are telling you not to do a thing with CA at this point in time. Or you will be doing the exact same thing three years later and there just is no reason for it.

6. No one said anything about the retrogression ending in 7 years; what we have stated that the earliest that you will have a chance for a visa for the US/ green card is going to be 7 years at the earliest with watching how things are moving now as well as the large number of people that are waiting in front of you.

7. Next question for you is if you wrote the exam three years ago, why are you not in the petitioning process with an employer? It could have been started once you had passed the NCLEX exam; but now, we are not seeing any employers in CA willing to start the process now.

You are also not understanding how licenses work in the US; one can possess as many licenses as they want, as long as they are willing to pay the fees for them. You are not restricted to having only one license at a time. You could actually have one in every single state if you meet their requirements.

Licenses in the US do not require that you work there. I have had held licenses in different states anticipating working there but never did, and never an issue for me.

The NCLEX exam only has to be written once in your life-time if you pass it, then you are all set. It is only when you go thru CA for initial licensure that anyone has these problems. Has your application to CA already expired or are you thinking of these things now in anticipation of what will happen? Are you actually working as an RN now in your country or someplace else at this time?

now i understand thanks a lot

overall is ok to get my license in vermont and just wait for retrogression lifted right?? that's your suggestion?

because taking nclex california will waste your effort and senseless due to you can endorse in vermont right?

thanks a lot again

Have you actually written the exam for CA? You are mentioning a retake, so not sure what you mean by that.

Yes, you are correct to go thru another state so that you do not need to rewrite the exam in three years and start everything all over again.

what i mean in retake is taking again the exam, which is will happen to me after 3 years expiration of my exam. I know you mean in retake who failed in exam and take again. heheh but i only use that word which is i think is the same as taking the exam again either failed or related to expiration. like i said i actually take nclex rn exam california which is what my problem now, the 3 to 4 years expiration. thanks suzanne big help, i think i just get my license to other states with different requirement.

hello again suzanne i just want to know, if i already have my Vermont licensed. Then if thanks to God that retrogression lifted this year and i got ssn can i still get my California license before expiration date? because i read in this site i can have many license i want, what do you mean i can get as many license i want?

By the way do i really don't need cgfns exam to get my vermont license?

thanks for always replying to my question. you really help me.

When did you actually write the NCLEX exam for CA?

You have three years that the letter is valid for. No reason to try to go thru another state at this time, we just recommend that you begin doing things in the last six months or so; or you are just going to be paying licensing fees to the other state and licenses expire every two years.

Retrogression is not going to be lifted this year, impossible to that to happen. Visas must be current and there are thousands already ahead of you in the petitioning process.

Yes, if something changed and you got your SSN# before the letter expired, then you could get the CA license; otherwise you will have to reapply to CA for the license down the road. It is not a big issue. But most definitely do not count on that happening. I suspect that you do not have an employer as of yet, and one is required for you to even begin the petitioning process for the green card. That is why we keep stating that you are going to be looking at more than seven years for a chance at the visa. When there are now many American new grads that are having issues getting hired, an employer from here cannot prove that they cannot hire an American for the job.

Would suggest that you focus on going to another country to gain paid work experience, we are expecting that the US will put in place rules just like every other country that requires actual experience before being accepted for a visa here.

i take january 2006 and i already extended.

i just summary what i understand to your reply.... if i already have my vermont license i can still get my california license as long is not expired.. i forgot to tell you, i have WIFE that already working in california as a nurse, now i waiting my petition me but i don't know what exactly will happen granted to have greencard. it takes 2 years for petition and now is 1 and 5 to 6 months but the expiration of my nclex which is already extended will be december. So there is a chance will be expired before i got my ssn. that's why i want to get my license in vermont first. But just what you said i can get many license i want so i don't need to reciprocity from vermont to california. I just give them my ssn in california board of nursing when i already have my SSN then i will get my licensed, even i already have my vermont licensed?

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

Once you have your SSN you apply to Ca probably from scratch and wait for a license to be issued. You could try and ask for another extension

ok, even i got my vermont licensed, I can still get my california license as long it is before expiration.. thanks
