Endorsement Pass Application to Texas State Board from CA NCLEX-RN Passer

Published

Good Day! Thank you for helping me get started into your ALLNURSES.COM. What a blessing to have a competent and highly credible venue for nurses' crucial queries worldwide.

May I know:

a) if a foreign educated nurse (e.g., from the Philippines) who passed NCLEX-RN through the State Board of CA can become eligible for Endorsement Pass to Texas State Board, considering that CA Nursing Board did not actually issue a CA license to the nurse due to non-presentation of a US SSN within the prescribed period?.

b) is the Paper Application Process prescribed by Texas State Board to international nurses educated outside America and Non-holder of a US SSN applicable to this case?

Thank you very much for your assistance!

Hi there, congrats on passing the NCLEX! I think based on some other reads here, I think if you don't have a SSN to get the CA license issued, then in essence, you don't have a CA license to endorse at all. I would write to the CA BON today if you haven't already and explain the situation exactly how you did here. I would send them an e-mail versus over the phone if you can actually get a hold of someone in person.

It's best to get your answer directly from a CA BON employee.

Will you let us know of your results and hope it's all in your favor. Good luck!

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

Don't forget no US SSN means CA will not issue a license therefore you can not endorse as a license is required to endorse

Very good!

But just to make sure we're all on the same page. There are others here who have been granted a license from NM and like you here, a CA license. However, do you have or will be able to actually put the license ID card in your purse or wallet? Or can you put the license in a picture frame to hang?

The reason I ask is that one can have a valid license, but they don't have one in real possession until the SSN is provided, which is needed to start applying for a job then must show them yo have it. I know many states the hiring place can verify via on-line, but I think they also want to take a copy of it for their records.

"Granted" the license can be subject to giving them a SSN and then after that, to be in real possession of that license.

That will be a great plus for those in the same position as you, if TX doesn't need a SSN. I know someone here has a VT license, but come her renewal time, it will not be done without showing the BON that SSN.

I have one in real possession..Its about half the size of a short bond paper declaring that I am entitled to be styled and known as RN..it can actually be placed in a frame and can be hung. The BON had stopped distributing wallet-size licenses according to them. No harm done if others will give it a try!
