I just passed my NCLEX and got my license in the mail. I am not working yet. I have a friend who owns a small company of about 10 workers. He has the flu shots but no one to administer them. Now, I called the Texas Board of Nursing to ask if it is within my scope of practice (because although I've done it at the hospitals and at clinicals) I've never done them without another nurse's supervision. I feel comfortable doing them but I don't know if i need a doctor there, or have them sign anything? Does anyone know?

Actually there are several states that will let you take the NCLEX without having a social security. Now if you don't have a social you will not be able to work but you CAN take the NCLEX. Every state is different so check with the Board of Nursing. Texas is one of the states I know you can take it in. I'm sure there are more states I just didn't look. :) " If you are a graduate outside the United States and do not have a US social security number, you will need to apply by paper and follow the instructions for international graduates (see number 6 below)." "B) Follow the instructions provided on Criminal Background Checks. A social security number is not required; however, receipt of the FBI criminal history report will take longer for the candidates who do not have this identifying information." Here's the link where I found this, Examination Applications
