Us rn about to expire in nov...online masteral program

Published

hi to all!

i'm an rn currently working outside US and Philippines. my dilemma is that i passed the NCLEX-RN, under the state of california, last nov 2007 and is about to expire on november this year. and still i dont have the US social security that is needed before a license could be issued mainly because i don't work in US. could you please advice me of what to do in order i won't waste my US RN and i could a license in there. would you know a state where they could issue a license for my particular case? and please include the steps to follow on how to submit my papers. :confused:

lastly, would you know a school in the philippines that offers on-line masteral program in nursing? if yes, where is this place? your response is greatly appreciated! :)

Sounds like you need to contact California about your liscense. Excelsior offers online Masters and I don't think they care where you live.

I don't believe that any state will issue you a license of any sort without a Social Security number.

You might try asking your question about schools in the Phillipines on the international forum.

There are some states that will issue a license without a SSN. I suggest you have a read in this forum as there are several threads discussing CA

California will not issue a nursing license without a SSN.

Excelsior does have an online Masters program but they would need to see your transcripts and evaluate them before you're admitted into their program.

Your results for the NCLEX-RN will expire soon and it's good that you're looking to move your results to another state to keep it active. It will cost money to move your results but worth it. Good Luck
