Timeframe for California verification of License/NCLEX to another state

Published

Hello there!

I just need information as to how long it usually takes for the Cali BRN to send verification of licensure/NCLEX to another state.

My initial state licensure is California but found employment in Florida hence the need for the verification of my NCLEX (since I don't have my SSN yet) to the latter state.

Any idea? Would be better to know from someone with experience on this. According to their website Board of Registered Nursing - Verification of Licensure, "Please allow at least 6 to 8 weeks for processing" and "Follow up with the other board of nursing within 3 months to ensure that they have received the verification"

I mean does it really take that long?

Will be waiting for your reply/ies.

Thank you!

Assuming you are able to transfer your NCLEX-RN results to FL without the SS#'s (that's work authorized), I believe that once the FL BON receives the NCLEX results of passage, you need to see if the FL BON will release the nursing license without providing them with the work authorized SS#'s.

So you must be either be close to or will receive the proper legal documentation (SS# or green card or work permit or ??) so that you can be employed soon. Good luck.

I am in the process of obtaining my immigrant visa; will be having my interview for that soon, so I'm almost there =)

Is there ever a way of knowing if the Cali BRN ever received the verification request? I sent it last December 2014 and never got an acknowledgement of receipt.

Btw, thanks for the reply =)
