California nclex reciprocity/endorsement

Moved to the International forum

Much has already been written about Ca and NY

For NY you need to meet CVS requirements with CGFNS as well as submit your application forum to NY. CVS is done even if you have already passed NCLEX in another state.

You are not endorsing as you have no license to endorse and you will need to request Ca forward your NCLEX results to NY and usually costs $60 Unless the BON asks for it you don't have to sit NCLEX again but for NY there are 2 course that have to be competed and can be done online. All information found on NY website and links can be found at the bottom of the page

Hi i need some help. I recently took NCLEX for California, now I got the results and fortunately I passed. I completed my RN education outside US. I don't have SSN which as indicated in the letter that I have to provide within three years.
Now I have heard from friends about this endorsement or reciprocity whichever is applicable in my case. I want my file to be endorsed to Board of Registered Nursing New York. What are the requirements? and is there any other exam whoich i have to take?
I hope someone can help me. Thankyou all..Godbless!

Hi,

U can call NY board of Nursing...they are very friendly and efficient people compared to Cali....My board was Cali before but i really hate calling them. I reapply with NY and submitted all the requirements. U will be required to take Child abuse course test on line and it's very easy.

Good luck!!!

Hi Mariobsnrn!

I have a passed letter of Nclex in California too,, since they require for an SSN and my understanding, you can only get an SSN once you landed in the States. I'm considering to ask the CA BON to forward my NCLEX results to NY BON, do I have to take that Child abuse course that you've mentioned?

I have also taken up CGFNS Qualifying EXAm,and just received the CG Certificate last month,would they still ask for a CVS?

Thank you.

You still have to go through CVS, all foreign nurses have to regardless if they have applied to another state and passed NCLEX. You also have to complete the 2 courses they ask for and information is on the NY BON website

For all those who passed the california NCLEX were u all originally trained in the UK as a nurse? If so did you have to do a program to make up theory&clinical hours in the other specialities? Please help and thank you
