Hi everyone! I read this somewhere and I'm wondering if this is accurate? Please anyone enlighten me, thanks!!! "For those planning to apply for Calif, they do not release your license after passing the NCLEX. You have to provide them first with a US SSN (Social security No.) before they will do so. You are given three years to comply. If you fail to submit a SSN, they will destroy your file after 3 years. And you cannot get a SSN unless you have been employed. Therefore, if a retrogression will eventually occur, better apply at other states who will issue your license upon passing the NCLEX."
