nclex-rn about to expire...doesn't have a SSN...PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Published

hi to all!

i'm an rn currently working here in Canada since 2008. my dilemma is that i passed the NCLEX-RN, under the state of california, last nov 2007 and is about to expire on november this year. and still i dont have the US social security that is needed before a license could be issued mainly because i don't work in US. could you please advice me of what to do in order i won't waste my US RN and i could a license in there. would you know a state where they could issue a license for my particular case? and please include the steps to follow on how to submit my papers.

many thanks in advance! :)

try endorsing it to nevada state board of nursing. it seems like they don't need ssn to process it but won't issue you a license until you show proof of your ssn. i just used google to find the website and i will attach it here but you need to read it yourself to understand the whole thing.

i think you have to contact california brn and ask them how much is the fee to verify your license and send it to nevada.

good luck,

this does not apply to the op because s/he doesn't have a ca license to endorse to another state, just a passing score on the nclex. however, the ca brn will forward the passing score to another state (for a small fee), and the op (or others in the same position) can apply for licensure by examination in the "new" state on the basis of the nclex result provided by the brn.
