H! I'm from Philippines and planning to take an NCLEX exam. I graduated last 2011 and had my license last 2012. Now I'm planning to take NCLEX exam. Any advise please? I haven't processed the application yet for eligibility and I know it'll take around 6 mo's for the ATT to recieve. Right now, I'm still stuck which State is more easier / faster to apply to. I want to make sure everything first because I'm quite afraid if my application will be denied, the registration fee will be forfeited, it's just a waste of money, isn't it? I have relatives in New York and New Jersey by the way. And since I'm a Filipino, one of the requirements of some states is SSN. 1.) Any advice which state is more faster and easier to apply to? 2.) Do I need to have SSN to take NCLEX? 3.) Which State allows to take NCLEX exam without SSN? 4.) Tips for application and registration please. Thank you in advance guys. It'll really help me to decide and clear my cloudy thoughts about taking NCLEX Exam. Have a nice day! Salamat po! :)
