good day everyone!

i'm a nurse from the phils and i would like to work in CA....i went to the CA BON website and their requirements include an SS# for the applicant....

i know that CA is one of the states that do not require CGFNS for their applicants only NCLEX... BUT i can't take the NCLEX because the CA BON requires the applicant to have SS# which i don't have since i don't live there.

do i have to take the CGFNS (for the visa screen) or is there a loophole for this since i can't apply in the CA BON because i don't have an SS#?

my sister lives in CA that"s why i"m not interested in other states hehe

pls advise =)
