DACA and NCLEX

World Registration

Published

Hi,

I graduated with my BSN 2 weeks ago, I currently live in Georgia. I was so excited to graduate but started looking at different threads on this website that said that DACA recipients are not able to sit for NCLEX. I saw one thread where the state of NY will allow you to sit for boards and receive your license, but does anyone know if that is true for GA? Does anyone have experience taking boards with DACA status in southern states such as GA, AL, TN, FL? What about NY? I am so lost and upset at this point. After working so hard, I would hate to see my dreams get crushed. Can anyone help me or provide me with any information at all? Any success stories for motivation? Please help. Thank you!

One of the requirements for RN license in GA is proof of citizenship/ residency proof. Sorry , seems GA would not grant you license at this time. You should look at more friendly state

Hi,

I have a valid SSN and employment authorization card. Would that make a difference?

Also, do you know of more friendly states? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

It would not make a different, new rule in place few years ago in response to DACA and laws like it.
