am a june 2006 board passer and just submitted an explanation letter

HI Suzanne... and fellow forumers. Just wanna let everyone know that I got my eligibility letter today from snail mail. MY goodness... it only took a month.... I submitted Sep 25 and it got here Nov 7! Cheers everyone and hang on... dunno what happened why CALI BON was fast this time :)

Oh my goodness. I mailed in my application to CA BON Sep 06 second week. I think they received it Sep29 cause my check receipt arrived already with the date I mentioned stamped on it. SO would I expect eligibility issued around Jan-March 07? That's still a long way to go. Plus I did the hardcard process which was a big mistake. Guys, can i submit an LVN application simultaneous to that of my RN application? Just in case... you know what... Thanks

>I am not sure whether the school's mail got to BON first or my application form. >Yes, 2 seperate mails. One from You and one from your school. >Yes, you could do that. Actually our school didnt want to send the TOR themselves they just gave us stamped envelopes and we mailed them ourselves making it appear that the school mailed it. >Good luck.

>Sorry bro, livescan is offered only in the US. You will need to show photo ID and your fingers hehe

Hi ric I am in the situation as you are. May I know which school you graduated from? 1. Yes. The forms in the website you must print and submit directly to BON Sacramento. On one long 9x12 envelope, put your application with picture, hardcard (fingerprint form --- can be downloaded too and be printed with fingerprints at Carriedo NBI OR better go here and apply livescan for about 76 bucks), check or money order, written explanation why no license yet, and a copy of your diploma. BON Sacramento requires the school to DIRECTLY submit (as opposed to LVN applications) your transcripts with BREAKDOWN and Request for Records to them via mail. 2. BON California does not require local license for the NCLEX RN Exam. 3. SSN is optional requirement. However, upon passing the NCLEX-RN Exam, before your license can be issued here in the US, you must have a valid SSN. NOw, being a tourist.... you need to find an employer who will petition you, provide you with work authorization, and SSN which you can now submit to the BON. I have already filed my application last Sep 29. According to them, it takes 3-6 months. I submitted via the hardcard process and not livescan which was a mistake. I hope the turnaround times wont be that delayed. Guys, does anyone here know if I can file both for LVN and RN Exams at the same time? I want sort of a buffer in case (God forbid) I don't make it for the NCLEX RN... And for those who ticked the interim permit request.... does the validity of the permit start upon being eligible to take the exam OR it depends on you whether when to make it valid. Thanks guys. This is my first post. Hooray!
