i am assuming you want to get licensed in california as many filipinos move there initially.

here is the link for the application & instructions: board of registered nursing - licensure by examination

Check with the website of the Board where you intend to get licensed. All instructions will be there.

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

Moved to the International forum

What visa are you in the US with? What state are you living in and planing on applying to?

Each state has their own requirements and 2 states now require a SSN before they will accept application forum to be a licensed nurse. Remember you are not applying for NCLEX but to be a licensed nurse in the US
