    CES is just a breakdown of your transcripts. It is up to the BON to decide if you have enough hours or not to meet their requirements

    Some of my friends do not have SSN and were still able to get the ATT.

    CGFNS is not an exam, its just a credentials evaluating agency where your school forwards your transcript etc

    CA use to let you sit for the NCLEX without a SSN, Vermont use to issue a license without a a SSN, but now requires a SSN to process your application. I would check with the state you apply, it seems more are adhering to the federal standard that a SSN is required for application.

    Thats true in some States, you don't need a S/S# to get the ATT, BUT the big question is even if you pass NCLEX without the S/S#, until you can provide that particular state's BON a valid S/S#, they will not issue the actual license needed to start practicing or job hunting, some states will only hold your license application for a certain amount of time (year or two or three maximum) after passing the exam.

    My overseas friend's friend recently passed the New Mexico NCLEX only to find that NM will not give her the license until she gives them a S/S#.

    She also just found out that she can't even endorse the NM license as there's no license to be issued since it's not "valid" without a S/S# to finish the processing of the license.

    So one must really make sure if a state's BON will require a S/S# before securing the license and it does seem like other state's are following the same requirements very soon.

    I graduated last year, and sent in my application along with all my school documents in January and just received a letter two days ago that i was ineligible to take the exam for the same reason of many others here on this thread. I was actually so excited because i thought it would be my ATT, never did i expect it this And im so frustrated considering that a friend of mine from the same batch had no issues whatsoever and she took the NCLEX last year november and passes and is now working as a RN in california. I went to my school today and they said they had many cases like mine and will have a letter sent out explaining as to why i wasn't able to complete my OR/DR cases concurrently with my theoretical subjects. But after reading this thread i feel as if the chances of me getting my ATT are pretty slim, as the BON is really strict and won't budge
    oh what to do??

    Very easy, if you and your friend are from the exact same school and took the same exact courses, why not just give them a call and an e-mail your friend's name and if you have her RN license number (it's all public records anyways, no big deal) that will help your CA BON evaluator get you your ATT, maybe.

    Someone else here says that's how she got her own friend was able to get the ATT, it's worth a try, correct? The other options of getting a CA license given your situation are much harder and involves extra time and more money.
