Hello nurses. I have visa screen certificate but do not have a state license. I wonder if I still can get a license? and which US state will give me one? Thanks 0 Likes
Silverdragon102, BSN Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC. Nov 21, 2014 visa screen certificate will not get you a state license. You need to meet state requirements and pass NCLEX before even considered for one and even then some states will not issue a license without a US SSN 0 Likes
JennelynPH7184 Nov 21, 2014 Thanks. So does it mean i have to retake the NCLEX exams again to get a license? 0 Likes

JennelynPH7184 Nov 21, 2014 I took the California NCLEX exam and it requires a SSN to get a license..I got the visa screen certificate instead. But now, I'm just wondering if i still can get a state license with just the visa screen certif to prove I already passed the NCLEX exam.. 0 Likes
Silverdragon102, BSN Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC. Nov 22, 2014 Which ever state you apply to will have their own requirements, they may accept visa screen certificate but may still require some assessment like CES report as that shows a breakdown on your transcripts. You really need to look at the state BON website and even ask them the question 0 Likes
JennelynPH7184 Nov 22, 2014 It all depends on the state which I am applying to, yeah? Well thanks for the info. :) 0 Likes

JennelynPH7184 Nov 23, 2014 Yes and do they issue a license if only the visa screen certif is available as proof that i have passed the NCLEX exams.. 0 Likes
Silverdragon102, BSN Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC. Nov 24, 2014 But you have proof with the state you took the exam with. Some states do accept VSC but still require some verification from the state you sat the exam with 0 Likes
JennelynPH7184 Nov 24, 2014 Well, actually my nclex exam has already expired. All i have left is the VSC. Do you know which state does not require verification from the state I took the exam with? 0 Likes
