help..NCLEX passer, no SSN.

Published

Hello! I passed the California NCLEX RN Exam in 2007. At that time, I don't have a SSN yet, so my file got abandoned. Now that I'm here in the U.S., I was able to obtained a SSN. Questions: 1) Do I need to retake the exam again? 2) What are the requirements for me to be registered? 3) Do I still to take an English exam? .. Any input regarding this matter will be appreciated. Thanks much..ciao!:)

The thing is your application will no longer exist so will more than likely have to submit new application and a copy of your pass letter if you have it

CABRN requires those who haven't been licensed in 8 years to retake the nclex. It's been 9 years since you passed. Since its been >3 years since your file was abandoned CABRN removed the form to request transfer of your pass results to other states. For CA you need to reapply you will likely need to retake the nclex if applying to CA. If you don't have your original pass letter from CABRN it's unclear if CA is still forwarding nclex pass results to other states since a SSN has been required to apply for >5 years now (in other words those who passed by were ineligible due to not having a valid SSN files have long since been destroyed per BRN policy)
