who would respond, thank you:bow:

being an IEN...talking about California, there is a good thread here explaining why it is unwise to get the initial licensure especially if one has no SSN#.

but a positive NCLEX result can still be used on applying to other state thru a licensure by examination route (as what I have learned here).

What difference does it make now?:urgycld:

Let's say initially it saves you money, and you don't risk loosing your NCLEX results when applying to a different board that doesn't destroy your files.

California for some reason is a dream of many and only very few succeed at the end.

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

Many people use Ca because they do their own assessment of transcripts however Ca will destroy your file after 3 years if you do not provide a SSN or ask for a extension. Before retrogression that wasn't too big a problem but if you planned on working in another state then you still had to meet requiremetns and can not endorse as you need a license to endorse.

Also CA BON is now closed 3 out of 4 Fridays which will reduce productivity. With retrogression what is the hurry?
