SSS #? help!!!

hi !

you do not need a SSN to take the NCLEX-RN.

But, you will need one to get the BON to issue your license once you have passed your test .

Good luck !

In addition, the social security number (SSN) the application packets from the BON or BRN (CA) are referring to are the U.S. SSN and not from the Phil.

Just leave this blank as this is what all Filipino applicants have done before w/ no problems whatsoever.

I would also re-consider applying for CA BRN directly for initial licensure as this is will take usually 4-6 months. Fastest I know is 3 months but this is rare and the longest I know is 8-9 months. Also, you would have to wait for 3-4 weeks for you to know the result via snail mail and as the poster said above they will not give you a license afterwards until you are already in the U.S. where your can apply for the U.S. SSN.

Some applicants nowadays apply for VT and NM or any other State that relatively process faster and willing to give a license w/o a US SSN requirement and just apply for 'Licensure for Endorsement' to CA BRN either during the immigration procedure or once they are in the U.S. already.

Proof of passing the NCLEX is all that it takes to start the petition process and it doesn't matter w/c State you went through at first and where you'll end up later.

Does anybody know on the average how long it takes to get SSN after you apply in CA???

If you are here, two weeks at least.

Mine was four months.

Hi Rep

Four months???it is very long.

I am little bit confused,Rep.

Do you mean that you wait for four months to get RN license because of this delay????

I think Rep was referring to his eligibility from CA BRN and not the SSN

Our local office takes about 2 weeks to issue a Social security number.

Oh,I am sorry.

I totally misunderstood.

Thank you for your information,lawrence 01 and iceyspots.

What I mean, four months for my eligility from CA BRN. Two weeks for the SSN#. And I got my plastic license for the RN a week after I took the NCLEX-RN. The result only four days. Guess I was lucky.

2weeks for thess number...sometimes it takes longer because there are times that they verify authenticity of the records/documents you aresubmitting....
