Passed CA NCLEX 2008, just got SSN this 2012, applied for CA-RN license

World Registration

Published

Hi to all! I passed the nclex last 2008. I just got my SSN last month as an employer based immigrant. Just a week ago, I submitted my Completed Application for Licensure by Examination including a U.S. social security number as instructed by the CA BON. My school also forwarded the needed documents.

My questions are:

Has someone gone through the same thing as I am?

What happened?

Did they release your license or not?

If yes: How long did you wait for your license?

If not: What did they say? Can you send me a copy? Did they make you do further studies?

--As i have said, I am on employment based petition, so with this, my employer is waiting for my license. With this, my life is on hold. I hope to be enlightened with this. Thank you so much.

Happy Valentines to all. I just saw my name and license number in my breeze account this morning! To the person who started this thread thank you, and to the people who shared their thoughts and experiences in applying for expired passing letter date thank you too. To all of you who are still waiting for the license or planning to submit there is HOPE! I just read all the comments here and it is all you need nevermind the hear says just follow all the details here it will take you hours to finish but it will be rewarding. The time frame this will differ from how fast the school send all docs from them, the livescan/hardcard if needs a resubmission, and the person who will evaluate from BRN/Breeze which in all we don't have control. To Nuestra Senora del Perpetuo Socorro Thank you!

congrats!

I mailed the application Dec. 8, 2016. Cashed my check Dec. 18.

BRN recieved my docs from school Jan. 17,2017.BRN requeasted to resubmitt Livescan Jan18, BRN requested for RLE Jan. 24. I saw my name in Breeze Feb. 14 and Feb. 15 in Nursys. I suggest start counting when they recieved the documents from your school and since they almost asked all of the international applicant for an RLE include that. I suggest use ups/fedex and the in-person mailing address of BRN.

hi mrken2016 I'm not sure about "endorsement satus: pending" and I don't want to speculate since I did not go through this but I can understand the agony of waiting for any progress with the application, may be you can call BRN to have them confirm all the data they recieved from you and your school and to ask for any update from their ongoing evaluation, I'm sure they have it on file for any insufficiency or updates. Mine was "Initial RN License by exam status: pending" (since I had an expired passing letter 2009) to Licensed USRN it took about almost 4 weeks, as I've said before it depends to the evaluator/analyst how fast or busy they are. Try calling just to see any updates.

Hi!

Just wanna ask if someone tried to submit an Application for licensure by examination using the Breeze? And paid the fee online as well?

Just submitted my application using the Breeze (online) last Feb 11, i attached the copies of my PRC license and PRC diploma and also a scanned application form with a signature. My school Sent the transcript already and i sent the livescan form through a courier and i believe they received it already.

Another question, do i still need to submit my passed letter that i received way back in 2010 when i passed the NClex? I didnt include it when i submitted all the reqts because there was a portion there where they asked if you have already taken the Nclex RN exam and also the complete date (month/day/year) you had the exam and the State as well.

please help. Thank you.

hi there i tried replying but im not sure if it went through. if you took and passed the nclex from the state of california, i suggest you submit the pass letter as well. if you have transfer your score to a different state then your application will have to be license by endorsement.

double check the website of the california board of nursing for updates as they often update their website for information etc. good luck

Thank you for replying. :)

I passed the NClex-RN from the state of California. I actually have an active license in Texas but when i called the Ca Bon and the operator suggested to apply for licensure by examination regardless if i have an active license in Texas, her reason was because i took my Nlcex-RN from the state of California. So i followed what she told me and applied online using the Breeze account. i attached everything except for the transcript and pass letter.. Alright, i will send the pass letter then, and attach a note indicating my application number.

thank you again! í ½í¸Š

Hi everyone. I'm currently in the US with a tourist visa and a relative is willing to petition me to work in her Home health. To start the processing, I need to have a California license. But since obviously, I do not have SSN, will the CA board allow me to take the exam? I just graduated last 2016 and got my philippine license this january. Thanks in advance
