APPLY CA-NCLEX without SSN nor ITIN?

World Registration

Published

I am preparing to take the california RN- NCLEX test.

I am wondering if I have NO SSN(Social security number) nor ITIN(I am not qualified to apply)would I still be able to" apply" my Examination Application Requirements

to take the test?

Can I apply and take the exam first to get the " Certification of passed the examination"?Then,get the RN-license until I got my Social security number?

I only need to have the " Certification of passed the examination" first,

because I will get the SSN in the future but it may take a while.

If I just keep the blank empty which is needed to be filled in SSN or ITIN in theExamination Application Requirements Form.

Would I still be able to be eligible to take the registered nurse licensing test if I meet all the requirements of qualification only without SSN and ITIN

How will you get a job with no ssn? I highly doubt you can take the NCLEX in any state without your ssn or an exemption- sorry but that seems pretty shady.

No. Your application for a nursing license by examination will be rejected and all fees paid no refundable . (you don't apply for the NCLEX by state it's a national exam. You apply for a nursing license by examination )

You are not eligible to apply to CABRN

I took the nclex without a SSN. It will depend on the BON. Some will let you take it some won't.

It's not shady at all. It's what canadian nurses have to do to get a US license and the appropriate work visa.

Some states allow it (although fewer and fewer as time goes on). California definitely doesn't.

Shady is not the issue. CABRN & CABVNPT will reject any application for licensing by examination (without refund of fees paid) that fails to include a valid SSN or ITIN. Cut & dry. No SSN or ITIN no chance in CA
