Hello there, I am a nurse from the Philippines, I recently decided to give NCLEX a try and I am planning to apply for it in the state of New Mexico. This is my first time to apply for NCLEX as well as applying in the said state. I have already read and reviewed New Mexico Board of Nursing's application guidelines but I didn't quite find what I was looking for. My question is, Does New Mexico Board of Nursing require international nurses to have a Social Security Number (SSN) before the initial application?
