1. CA BRN accepts ITIN in place of SSN

   lr1234 replied to lr1234's topic in International

   Suzanne, For many people the reason for wanting their CA licenses with the ITIN is simply because they want to know if they passed the NCLEX as soon as possible after the test by checking for their license info online. Waiting 3-4 weeks for the resul...

2. Waiting CA NCLEX RN results from 8/22

   lr1234 replied to Beetle01's topic in NCLEX

   Typo, I got 265 not 256 questions. My AOS is pending and I'm waiting for my EAD (I'm a dependent of my husbands AOS on EB2 and the PD was current when we filed). I got ITIN because I'm on H4. If nothing else, at least the ITIN helped me get the actua...

3. Waiting CA NCLEX RN results from 8/22

   lr1234 replied to Beetle01's topic in NCLEX

   I passed! I took my NCLEX on 26 Aug and got 256 questions. This morning (1 Sept) I found my name on the CA BRN website so they did issue me a license even though I had an ITIN number instead of SSN! LR

4. CA BRN accepts ITIN in place of SSN

   lr1234 replied to lr1234's topic in International

   PS. Make sure you fax them your SSN number as soon as you get it even if you got your license using your ITIN so that they can update your file. They accept ITIN/SSN numbers only by fax or mail, not by telephone.

5. CA BRN accepts ITIN in place of SSN

   lr1234 posted a topic in International

   I just called CA BRN and they said they will issue an RN license with an ITIN number if the person doesn't yet have an SSN. This is good news for people who are already in the US on a dependent visa, but are ineligible for SSN (for example H4 visa ho...

6. NCLEX questions nowhere near Saunders/Kaplan!

   lr1234 replied to lr1234's topic in NCLEX

   Don't get me wrong, Saunders and Kaplan are great books. Saunders especially has great content review. ... but the answer choices in Saunders are pretty different from each other so it's usually straightforward to choose the most correct answer. I ca...

7. NCLEX questions nowhere near Saunders/Kaplan!

   lr1234 posted a topic in NCLEX

   Took the NCLEX-RN today. The questions were so far away from the practice questions in Saunders comp review and Kaplan books/cd-roms! Most NCLEX questions were about prioritization, delegation, some meds and labs, psych, infection control. The Saund...

8. CA license with ITIN instead of SSN?

   lr1234 posted a topic in International

   Has anyone been able to get the CA license by using an ITIN number instead of the SSN? I don't have an SSN (I'm on H4 visa). I gave CA board my ITIN, is that enough to get the actual license and get the NCLEX results displayed on the board license ve...

9. CA BRN: Education does not meet CA requirements in pediatrics

   lr1234 replied to lr1234's topic in International

   Hi Suzanne, thanks for information. I called the CA board and they said it is not enough to just take the pediatric rotation, but I need to take university classes and clinical practice in pediatrics. I'm confused... This is frustrating as I had eno...

11. IELTS and CALI BON Questions

    lr1234 replied to pinkbonnetgirl's topic in International

    As for the IELTS you need the Academic test. You need to get 7.0 for the spoken section and 6.5 for the others. I've read IELTS Academic may be more difficult than TOEFL ibt. You should submit one fingerprint card together with the application to the...

12. How long it takes to get the CGFNS ID?

    lr1234 replied to lr1234's topic in International

    Hi, actually I just got the CGFNS ID by email :-) It took them 2 weeks to email the ID number after having received my VisaScreen application and payment. Now the ID number is also visible in the upper right corner of the personal information and tes...

13. How long it takes to get the CGFNS ID?

    lr1234 replied to lr1234's topic in International

    It's not there! There's nothing on the upper right corner of the test link page or the personal information link page! There's no CGFNS ID for me anywhere in the online status system. I guess they haven't yet given me the CGFNS ID. It's been about 2 ...
