One Question! Foreign Transcript Evaluation California

World Registration

Published

Hi!

I am planning on taking the CA NCLEX, but I don't currently have a SSN. Is it possible to apply for the NCLEX and/or get my foreign transcripts evaluated before I get my SSN? I do plan on acquiring the SSN before I take the exam, but I would like to know whether or not I need to take additional courses before I am able to get it. I have a RN License and Bachelor's degree in Japan.

Thank you!

Thank you for the reply. Is there a way I can have my education evaluated before applying for the NCLEX?

Not with CA and to be honest even if you manage to get registered with another state we are still seeing members have issues registering with CA
