how to get a social security number...

HI,:) I am a foreign nurse who passed NCLEX RN (newyork board)recently.I want to know how to get a social security number because of california RN endorsement.I have a B1/B2 Visa( not yet F2 visa).My husband has a F1 visa.I heard that even F1 visa will be limited to get a social security number.Can I get a California permanant RN license without social security number? I can get Only a temporary RN license continuously? Can I apply to hospital for job with temporary RN license?

please let me know....I'll wait for your answer.

Thank you
