how to reapply for the NCLEX-CALI when the application expires?

Published

Hi!,I'm also an nclex-cali passer.I just want to know the process of reapplying for the NCLEX if my application expires and I wasn't able to submit the SSN. Do I need to request for the test result from the CALI-BRN before my application expires and submit it together with my application when I reapply?Or I just submit my application w/o the copy of test result?Will the BRN know that I already passed the NCLEX and just reapplying because it expired? And how much is the cost of reapplication without having to sit for the exam?

Prior to April 26, 2010, once an applicant passed the NCLEX-RN examination, the applicant was allowed a three-year time period to submit a valid SSN. After that time period had elapsed, the file was considered abandoned and the file was destroyed. Additionally, an applicant was also allowed to request an extension on the file Abandonment Date. This was done as a courtesy to the applicant. As of April 26, 2010, the BRN will no longer grant an extension on the file abandonment date.

An applicant, who has passed the NCLEX-RN exam and is affected by file abandonment and file destruction, still has the following options:

-

Once the valid U.S. Social Security Number is obtained, the applicant may re-apply to the BRN. The applicant will not have to retest, because even though the file is abandoned and destroyed, the NCLEX-RN test result is still valid. You do need to submit a new Application Fee Schedule for Examination; a transcript and the fingerprint card. When the Board receives all the requirements (a new application; transcript from school; the fingerprint clearance and a valid U.S. SSN) we needed; the CA RN license will be issued. :)

Hi, I am a foreign nurse. I am desperate with my situation. I am a new member in this forum and I hope to get some guidance in my case. My case is similar to cjtj in this forum.

I took and passed the NCLEX-RN test through CA. without SSN. Now, my file is going to be destroyed, as I am unable to provide them the SSN. So, my questions are:

1. Which others state can I apply to without a SSN?

2. Regarding Visa Screen process. Do they require a license before applying or can I apply just with my test result?

I'll really appreciate any information.

I hope to

Much has already been written re CA and applying to other states, Better to do your own research and links to state BON'S can be found at the bottom of the page.

VSC can be applied for before you pass NCLEX but will not be issued until they receive all documents which includes NCLEX results
