DACA and NCLEX

Published

Hi,

I graduated with my BSN 2 weeks ago, I currently live in Georgia. I was so excited to graduate but started looking at different threads on this website that said that DACA recipients are not able to sit for NCLEX. I saw one thread where the state of NY will allow you to sit for boards and receive your license, but does anyone know if that is true for GA? Does anyone have experience taking boards with DACA status in southern states such as GA, AL, TN, FL? What about NY? I am so lost and upset at this point. After working so hard, I would hate to see my dreams get crushed. Can anyone help me or provide me with any information at all? Any success stories for motivation? Please help. Thank you!

I checkmarked the second option, and sent in a copy of the front and back of my work authorization card. I did initially get my license through another state and then endorsed it back to GA, but I think you shouldn't have a problem getting it through Georgia from the start! 

Gotcha! So you didn't have to send in the documentation stating what alien status you were then?
