NCLEX Registration

[NoobRN13]

Hi everybody.

Just wondering if I should cancel my RN Licensure by exam application from one state (I have 2 applications) before registering for my NCLEX?

So I came from TX and moved to CA last month. I got my BSN in Dec 2018 from a TX school. I didn't get to take my NCLEX in TX although I submitted all requirements aside from registering to Pearson VUE since I had to move right after graduation. So I just decided to apply for a CA license through examination, and got all my papers approved. I was about to register in Pearson VUE when I saw their website and it says:

"You may not have two NCLEX registrations (of the same exam type) open at the same time. If you reregister before your current registration expires, your second registration will be processed and denied, and the fee collected will be non-refundable. "

Now, does it mean I have to cancel my TX application so it wouldn't delete my CA application? or does that statement only refer to the actual NCLEX itself, like when people try to do the Pearson trick?

Thanks for the response.

I don't believe you can cancel your first registration. However, you can change the board of nursing that your results are sent to. The 2019 NCLEX® Examination Candidate Bulletin lists the fee as $50. If you logon your NCLEX account you should be able to modify your registration; if not you should be able to contact Pearson Vue for details. If you haven’t done so you should also contact the CA BON.

Beat wishes.

Good luck with that. Mildred is the only person that processes the applications for the Ca BON and she is 90 yrs old and still hasn't figured out how to use the magic box (computer).
