waiting for my NCLEX eligibility

smile123 · Apr 10, 2006

I submitted my NCLEX application last Feb '06. It's already april and I still haven't received my eligibility to take the test. Is Ca BON really that slow? How can I check if they have received all the documents I sent them including that from my school?
Can anyone explain? Thanks

From your profile, you are from the Philippines; there is a different process for international nurses. Do you have a social security number? If not, it will take you longer; there is a specfic process for non-US nurses. I think you will find the info you need if you doi a search on the forum. There have been a lot of international nurses all asking the same questions; I think you need to look in the international forums. Good luck.

It is the credentials evaluation that will delay you. It is four to six months for a foreign trained RN. The SSN# comes into play with when and how you will find out your results.

Do not expect to hear or see anything until at least June, at the earliest. Be aware that it will be another month for you to get your results by snail mail, you will not see your name on their website until you have received your SSN#.
