hi moderators, i'm in the verge of having a psychiatric condition ... my parents are pushing me to have my nclex and i too want to have it so that i can focus on training and employment after the test but i still can't decide on what state i would apply for a license:banghead:. I don't want to spend much money and time. My first preference was california yet they are requiring SSN... so as i quote your last statement what are the other states that does not require CES and SSN plus LOCAL LICENSE... are there any? i have just passed the december 2007 NLE and i still don't have a license and obviously clinical experience... hope you could help me on this one as i'm in the process of chewing all info to come up with the most efficient decision tnx tnx tnx by the way, this forum is helping me... big time
