Has anyone been able to get the CA license by using an ITIN number instead of the SSN? I don't have an SSN (I'm on H4 visa). I gave CA board my ITIN, is that enough to get the actual license and get the NCLEX results displayed on the board license ve...

Hi, how long it usually takes for CGFNS to send out the CGFNS ID number after having received the Visascreen application (online) and the credit card payment (online too)? In the "Correspondence" tab on the CGFNS online system there's a "Welcome - in...

I just called CA BRN and they said they will issue an RN license with an ITIN number if the person doesn't yet have an SSN. This is good news for people who are already in the US on a dependent visa, but are ineligible for SSN (for example H4 visa ho...

Suzanne, For many people the reason for wanting their CA licenses with the ITIN is simply because they want to know if they passed the NCLEX as soon as possible after the test by checking for their license info online. Waiting 3-4 weeks for the resul...

Typo, I got 265 not 256 questions. My AOS is pending and I'm waiting for my EAD (I'm a dependent of my husbands AOS on EB2 and the PD was current when we filed). I got ITIN because I'm on H4. If nothing else, at least the ITIN helped me get the actua...

I passed! I took my NCLEX on 26 Aug and got 256 questions. This morning (1 Sept) I found my name on the CA BRN website so they did issue me a license even though I had an ITIN number instead of SSN! LR

Took the NCLEX-RN today. The questions were so far away from the practice questions in Saunders comp review and Kaplan books/cd-roms! Most NCLEX questions were about prioritization, delegation, some meds and labs, psych, infection control. The Saund...

PS. Make sure you fax them your SSN number as soon as you get it even if you got your license using your ITIN so that they can update your file. They accept ITIN/SSN numbers only by fax or mail, not by telephone.

Don't get me wrong, Saunders and Kaplan are great books. Saunders especially has great content review. ... but the answer choices in Saunders are pretty different from each other so it's usually straightforward to choose the most correct answer. I ca...

Hi, I sent an application for licensure by examination to CA BRN. I received a letter saying that my BSN education does not meet the CA requirements in Pediatric content. This is because I had very little pediatric clinical practice (only 18 hrs) in ...

Hi Suzanne, thanks for information. I called the CA board and they said it is not enough to just take the pediatric rotation, but I need to take university classes and clinical practice in pediatrics. I'm confused... This is frustrating as I had eno...

As for the IELTS you need the Academic test. You need to get 7.0 for the spoken section and 6.5 for the others. I've read IELTS Academic may be more difficult than TOEFL ibt. You should submit one fingerprint card together with the application to the...

Hi, actually I just got the CGFNS ID by email :-) It took them 2 weeks to email the ID number after having received my VisaScreen application and payment. Now the ID number is also visible in the upper right corner of the personal information and tes...

It's not there! There's nothing on the upper right corner of the test link page or the personal information link page! There's no CGFNS ID for me anywhere in the online status system. I guess they haven't yet given me the CGFNS ID. It's been about 2 ...

Well the "Tests" link on my cgfns account is related to the English proficiency test information, doesn't have the CGFNS ID or anything related to it. LR

Yes I did, no emails were received from CGFNS at any time. I even contacted them twice thru the online system, but have received no replies whatsoever so far. My Personal Information shows that they are supposed to send correspondence by both email a...

Dave, I applied online, but I didn't even receive any confirmation emails. I can see my order under "Order Status" tab and it shows that they have received the payment, the application and the attestation. If I press the "Print Documents" button and ...

We will be moving to California after about 6 months (I will get H4 visa), now in Finland. If I send the application for licensure by examination to the CA BON now (assuming it will take 4-5 months for them to process it) and they verify my transcrip...

Ok, thanks ethan_mike. How long did it take for them to process it? Did the person have a US SSN# number, which is said to be mandatory on the application? Did it cause any problems if he/she didn't have it?

Thanks, this is great news. Is there any official place to verify this information? Couldn't find it anywhere at http://www.rn.ca.gov/ LR
