NCLEX-RN California renewal of eligibility

Published

Hello, everyone. I hope somebody can help me.. I have a question regarding renewal of eligibility to take NECLEX-RN in California.

I got a eligibility letter from CA nursing board and it will expire Dec.13.15. I haven't taken the exam yet but I want to renew my eligibility without taking exam.

The letter stated that if I have'nt applied and taken the exam for 2 years, my eligibility will be null and void. My concern is if I apply for renewal with the fee $150.00 before my expiration date, will they renew my eligibility? Or do I still need to take a exam at least 1 time before expiration?

Does anybody had a similer experience?

If I take a exam from now, I have to wait for my result for 3-4 weeks and if I failed, I still need to wait for 45 days to retake the test.During 45 days, if my eligibility expires, it is too late for me to renew my eligibility, so that's why I'm scared to apply for the exam. If possible, I just want to try to apply for renewal of my eligibility without taking exam.

Does anyone know if it is acceptable?
