NCLEX Online Application

Hi, I'm a nursing student in California, and I'd like to fill out my BRN application so I can take the NCLEX. Because everything has been moved online now, my instructors are out of their element and having a tough time guiding us through the process. Has anybody filled out the BRN application with the online process? Can you walk me through the big steps?

Also, I began filling out the application a few weeks ago. I got to the screen where it wanted me to upload my livescan fingerprint and my passport photo, but I hadn't gotten those things done yet. I had been told it would save my application as I filled it out. It said to click cancel to save the application. I did, and it said, "Thank you, your application will be saved for the next 365 days." I always double check, though, so I logged back in, and none of my personal information was filled out anymore. It was an entirely blank application. The only thing that had been saved was what TYPE of application it was. So, does this thing not save? I have to type, upload, and do all that in one sitting?

Checklist of things to complete before I sit down then...Livescan Fingerprint, passport photo...is there anything else? An older nurse friend of mine indicated there was a mandated reporter training/paper I had to complete and upload, but I never saw a spot for that.

Thank you for helping me with this process in advance! Sorry if my post was confusing. I feel super confused LOL
