Temporary Permit RN

Published

Good day!

I have taken and passed the NCLEX-RN in April, 2015. The boards will not release my License until I have completed my Refresher Course (I'm on the process anyway) Right now, I only have my 6 Month Temporary Permit issued a couple of weeks ago and will expire on November, 2015. I applied for a job yesterday, and the recruiter asked me about my Temporary Permit Number. I just called the BON, today and I was told that the 6 Month Temporary Permit Does not have a Number or a Temporary License Number. I was told to just present the Authorization/Temporary License sent by the BON (which I did, but the employer still ask for the number). Does anyone happened to be a GN (Graduate Nurse) before you become an RN? Do you remember your 6 Month Temporary Permit/Authorization having a number on it? I tried to verify it online before I call the BON but it didn't show any number next to my name. Btw, I live in Texas. Thank you all.

Hi, How was everything going on? was it that difficult to get your license or should i say for your license to be active after taking the FENS course? i am about to take mine next year, but still looking for some institutions somewhere in Houston Texas. Any recommendations?

I don't really have any great answer for this. I just applied for my temporary TX endorsement license and I am waiting for the mailed copy of this. When I checked it out online, it does not have a number. Employers can check a temp license by first and last name and SSN. I am in the same boat and following your thread.

Hi, why do you have to do refresher course? As far as I know if you just passed you NCLEX test you should be fine.

Well, the letter that I received though states that, "THE FENS IS REQUIRED FOR INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS WHO HAVE NOT PRACTICED A MINIMUM OF 2 YEARS WITHIN THE 4 YEARS PRECEDING THE FILING OF THEIR APPLICATION." I stopped working last August 2012, but it is still 3 years when i filled my application this year.
