  1. retaking nclex-ca after 8 yrs

    steppybay replied to gehgeh1126's topic in Nurse Registration

    While I'm not going to archive search of about 5-6 plus others posting similar concerns of their schools not retaining any of the copies of cases and other minimum required documentation (you can read...

  2. retaking nclex-ca after 8 yrs

    steppybay replied to gehgeh1126's topic in Nurse Registration

    Tell that to some of the PH posters from this very forum who have found their PH schools does this, it's been posted by them and certainly for some, it's been longer than the 3-4 years, some are lucky...

  3. SSN

    steppybay replied to nette_mj's topic in International Nursing

    There's one catch to the TAX ID Instead of SSN article posted above....while one may get their RN license (if it's one of the 40 state boards, i.e., the CA BRN), it will NOT grant one with the valid...

  4. Filipino Graduate Applying for RN license in Texas

    steppybay replied to kathleenmae89's topic in Nurse Registration

    Please be more specific: -- what state are you wanting to work and practice in upon passing the NCLEX-RN? -- what state(s) were your batchmates not required to re-take the deficient

  5. retaking nclex-ca after 8 yrs

    steppybay replied to gehgeh1126's topic in Nurse Registration

    You should check with your school's transcripts department and see if they still are able to submit your paperwork to the CA BRN. Many PH schools have stopped keeping any sort of records or copies...

  6. SSN

    steppybay replied to nette_mj's topic in International Nursing

    With regards to the "driver licenses" comment, it's only to be given the privilege to drive a vehicle and does not give any sort of benefits to being able to use it for employment or voting purposes....

  7. Nursing Grad from the PHILIPPINES

    steppybay replied to ijed's topic in Nurse Registration

    What state are you trying to apply for the NCLEX-RN? If it's CA and you graduated after 2005, you should look into other states that are not enforcing the concurrency rules (since Nov. 2011 and a...

  8. Is There A Time Limit After Graduation To Take The NCLEX For Foreign Graduates?

    steppybay replied to Ryan Velasco's topic in Nurse Registration

    One other concern should be how long will your school maintain your course transcripts? There are many schools in the PH that simply do not keep any records after 3-4 years and trying to get the...

  9. SSN

    steppybay replied to nette_mj's topic in International Nursing

    In more regards to the ITIN numbers and straight from the SSA website: Taxes: If you need a number for tax purposes and you are not authorized to work in the United States, you can apply for an...

  10. SSN

    steppybay replied to nette_mj's topic in International Nursing

    As JustBeachyNurse commented, the ITIN numbers will not be accepted as a form of legal presentation to allow one to work legally in any of the 50 states, it's merely a IRS issued number that allows...

  11. Indian Nurse graduate applying for CA BON NCLEX

    steppybay replied to bhumidesai's topic in Nurse Registration

    Just submit your application and the quicker the CA BRN gets to it, the faster you'll get notice of what's missing and go from there. With regards to the concurrency issues, again, until the CA BRN...

  12. Pennsylvania board of nursing

    steppybay replied to pennyk88's topic in Nurse Registration

    Did you send it in with any sort of verifiable tracking numbers? If not, there's always the possibility of the letter package getting lost in the mail. What sort of time frame are you referring to of...

  13. Fingerprint Card Form (without SSN)

    steppybay replied to Abbyxia's topic in Nurse Registration

    Did you read my comment (#5), it's NOT a fake or pseudo SSN, they may call it that for lack for better wording. It's merely assigned numbers not associated with the Social Security system, think of it...

  14. Fingerprint Card Form (without SSN)

    steppybay replied to Abbyxia's topic in Nurse Registration

    What? You're trying to paraphrase the same thing. I said...."until one provides the BON with a valid work authorized SSN..." which means the same as the Social Security office. You should INCLUDE the...

  15. Timeframe for California verification of License/NCLEX to another state

    steppybay replied to jbc76's topic in Nurse Registration

    Assuming you are able to transfer your NCLEX-RN results to FL without the SS#'s (that's work authorized), I believe that once the FL BON receives the NCLEX results of passage, you need to see if the...

  16. Fingerprint Card Form (without SSN)

    steppybay replied to Abbyxia's topic in Nurse Registration

    Back to the OP's concerns, TX will allow to take the NCLEX-RN without a SSN, but TX will not allow the issuance of the nursing license until one provides the BON with a valid work authorized SSN,...

  17. Fingerprint Card Form (without SSN)

    steppybay replied to Abbyxia's topic in Nurse Registration

    It's not even a "fake" SS#, it's merely an assigned set of numbers that is given out as a way to monitor the application process for the state of TX. If one ever tried to "use" that same "fake" SS#...

  19. BRN course deficiencies

    steppybay replied to myzandy's topic in Nurse Registration

    You need to read them more closely as there are lots of good leads in the various threads. The schools and colleges are clearly stated by either the actual posters who have recently succeeded or had...

    steppybay replied to segun Fash's topic in Immigration Advice

  23. challenges international nurses face in securing a job in USA or canada

    steppybay replied to segun Fash's topic in Immigration Advice

    None.....until one has passed either of the required country's nursing examinations would any recruitment agency want to waste their time and money to take their chances on an unlicensed nurse for...

  24. International BSN grad with compact state licensure, no chance to become an RN in Californ

    steppybay replied to TalarossaRN's topic in Nurse Registration

    Just so that you don't miss my point, what requirements are you going to re-take to fix this? From your early comments, the CA BRN has not even received the documentation they requested, so are you...

  25. International BSN grad with compact state licensure, no chance to become an RN in Californ

    steppybay replied to TalarossaRN's topic in Nurse Registration

    Since CA is not a part of the compact state licensure system and they do their own internal evaluations of the transcripts, they will most likely decline the application and you'll be given a three...
