hi there. i applied for licensure in california, and i already have my ATT which is valid until march 2008. i haven't scheduled for an exam yet with pearson vue, because i'm planning to surrender my current license and retake the local nursing licensure exam here in the philippines this coming june (since i am part of the leakage-tainted board exam last june 2006), to get over with this mess that we've been going through for almost a year now. since i am surrendering my license, that means that i will have a totally new license number when i pass the board exam - different from what i submitted to california board of registered nursing (i submitted a photocopy of my license). will there be a problem when i finally take the nclex? i already tried to contact the BON through email about this, but they have not yet sent their reply. am i supposed to mail them a letter of explanation or something, or maybe a document from the licensing authority here in my country? maybe someone here knows what i'm supposed to do... thanks!
