hello, tabz,

i moved this post to your own thread in the international forum for a better response. this was deeply buried in another thread where you would not receive the response needed.

Here's the information you need (I think) :).

You do not need a SSN to register with CGFNS or with Texas. The application lists a space for it, but you only put it if you have it, if you do not, then you just leave it blank.

Texas actually requires the CES done by CGFNS, but not the exam.

You are not expected to have a SSN# until you have gone thru the immigration process and have actually arrived in the US, so none of the foreign nurses coming over have the SSN#. Everything can be done without it until you get here.
