How to get a CA license with an expired NCLEX pass letter?

Published

I'm a new member. I came here in USA last year, NCLEX passer in 2007 and my pass letter was expired in 2011. My papers in immigration are still in process. What are the requirements? Do they still need my Philippine RN license (which is expired too)? I got married here so my license from home is still under my maiden name. Can anybody comment on this? Thanks folks!

The best thing to do would be to contact the CA BON directly and ask them what they would want you to do.

I agree. It doesn't matter what we tells you; what matters is what the BRN wants you to do.

Best of luck.

Best to post same question in the World forum, under the "Nurse Registration" tab, it's better geared for the international crowd. But also let the readers if you have your SS#, as the CA BRN will not issue the license until then.

Hi, I'm new here, asking for ideas what to do. I'm from Philippines, passed NCLEX in 2007. Got married here in US last February, but my last employment was August 2012. I don't know how to start the application in BON to get my RN license since I passed the NCLEX as a foreign nurse. So it's inactive, since they won't give licenses to foreign nurses unless with a SSN, and now I'm here, what do I have to do first? It's complicated and I'm confused how to begin the paperworks. Any concerns would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
