NCLEX Application Help

Published

Hey guys! I'm a nursing student at CSULB currently on my preceptorship semester and it's just about time to turn in my NCLEX application. I just have a question about the apps themselves. I was born in the Philippines and it was common practice over there to give your kids two first names, a middle name (which is mom's maiden name) and then a last name (dad's last name). That was never a problem until recently, when I had to get a driver's license and that was delayed because of all the confusion with having two first names and one middle name. To fix that, I had to turn in my birth certificate and certificate of naturalization for documentation. As a result, my CA driver's license has three first names written on there (my two first names and my middle name), then my last name. My passport has the same thing on it.

Question is, when filling out my NCLEX application, should I leave the middle name box blank and just have all three names as part of my first name? In order to match the names with my DL and my passport, this is really the only way. I'm just not sure what to do in this instance and I'd like to get this done as soon as possible so I can get my ATT relatively early.

Thanks in advance for your help!
