Expired NCLEX Ca

[w0lvie]

Hi all,

Hope everyone is keeping well.

I took the NCLEX exam for California in 2010 and was issued a VisaScreen ICHP certificate the following year. Unfortunately, that has since expired. I am now living and working as an RN in the UK, but expressing my intention to move to California in a few years' time.

Please I wanted to clarify if I need to do re-do the process - application and submission of documents, take the exam, etc. - or, I can still recover my test result from 2010 to reapply? I am wondering if anyone has a similar experience? Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Best wishes

California BON probably has the NCLEX result... usually you don't need to take it again unless it is revoked or something... (which won't happen normally.)

Anyway, you have to contact Cali BON to ask about that.

There is a process for "Reinstatement of a Lapsed RN License (8-Year Renewal)" process other than Inactive to Active status, if you haven't renewed your license for a long time without continuing education.
