I live in South Carolina and I'm currently in the nursing program. I have a DACA immigration status. Since I got accepted into the nursing program, i figured I'd be able to sit for the NCLEX because that's why I'm in the nursing program right? But no, I can't sit for the program. I had to call various offices and had to talk to like 10 people, everyone telling me different things. Finally, they told me I wouldn't be able to sit for the exam and I have to take the exam within 3 years of graduating the program. They told me that I can not sit for the exam to get the RN license since I have no permanent status, and DACA is only a 2 year temporary permission. (If you applied after Feb. 2015, its 3 years now) I am really frustrated, cried for many nights, not knowing what to do. Since the government has not made any advances for DACA immigrants, I am considering dropping out of the nursing program, since I wont be able to get a license and or work. Please please please help me! I really want to finish my nursing program and be awesome nurse, but I am crushed and depressed, and I simply dont know what to do. I dont mind moving to another state or anything. Please provide me with any information you can. THANK YOU.
