Hi all!

I recently passed my NCLEX - RN (California), and it was clearly stated they will destroy your file three years after, if you don't supply them SSN. Can somebody please give me an advice on what to do with my NCLEX results? You still need to have SSN even if you already have a visascreen, is that right? thanks guys.

not at all a single step is easier ,everything is so complicated in nursing :smackingf

although we can check information regarding these processes by ourself via internet but there is a fear in mind that am i doing alright so its really helpful to get guidance and information from all of you ,its truly good,i appreciate all of you for help.

thanks

visa screen certificate is federal and to meet requirements you need to have passed NCLEX or CGFNS exam. NCLEX is state specific

ATTENTION: CABON Now Requires SSN to apply for NCLEX.

Effective on April 26, 2010 California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) will no longer accept applications that do not contain a U.S. Social Security Number. The Nursing Practice Act provides for a unified examination and licensing application. Once an applicant passes the examination, a license is automatically issued. Under these circumstances the BRN cannot accept applications for the examination and licensure without a U.S. social security number.

For those applicants who have failed the exam and want to re-apply; CABON will not accept re-application without U.S Social Security Number.

If your application was sent prior to April 26, 2010 or if you are already eligible, THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU.

vsc is a federal requirement for all healthcare practitioner wishing to practice their profession in the US... EVERY healthcare professional who want to work in the US is required to present this... so to answer your question, yes, the VSC is valid in all states... the VSC processing takes a month to two, and will all depend on the arrival of your documents... go to the CGFNS website and you will find instructions there as they are the office that handles VSC applications...

Ca BON, does not grant extension of file anymore. If you cannot provide them with SSN in three years time, then they will destroy your file, unless you apply in other state that does not require SSN for initial license.

request the verification of registration, the one that costs US$60... then send your demand draft of $60... if i remember correctly, they have instructions on how to make your payments...

after your VSC, i suggest you have your results endorsed to vermont... the VSC locks the result of your nclex and ielts together (they should be within two years of each other) and the endorsement of your results to vermont would save you from re-taking the nclex...

to have your result endorsed, VT requires you to submit a copy of your candidate report with photo which you will request, through mail (no provision on their website) and will cost you $10 per copy... so i think it's better you make out the demand draft to $70 and attach a letter explaining that it is your payment for the license verification request AND for the candidate report you are requesting... will save you $5 i believe (banks usually charge that much for a demand draft i believe)...

i hope this helps... try australia or, like me, canada... you would need to have worked for at least 6 months i think for these two countries to consider you but the US migration laws needs a serious overhaul... if you really want to work there, the best way to go is through a working visa...

good luck!
