Helping out nurses who are in need

Hi, is it true that when you passed the NCLEX-RN for California and your 3 years has elapsed, and you decide to reapply to the California Board of Registered Nursing, all you have to do is send an appication again together with the fee but you don’t have to take the NCLEX-RN again?

This is not true. They give you three years so you can present them with a SSN before they give you your permanent license. But as of the moment, if you do not have a SSN do not bother applying to California as they will just return your application.

approximately how long will i be waiting for the eligibility if I apply at the vermont state BON??? thanks a lot =)

If your papers proceed smoothly with no problems in 3 to 6 months you can get your eligibility.

hi po… kakatake ko lang ng nclex but unfortunately bumagsak ako… Meron lang po sana akong tanong medyo nalilito ako, balak kong magretake kaya lang this time iba na last name ko from my husband na, ngayon dun ba sa REQUEST FOR REAPPLY/REPEAT EXAMINATION FORM yong recent name na gagamitin ko? ang kinakalito ko lang po iba yong nasa record nila, ano ang pede kong gawin? thanks po…

It would be best if you update your information with the Board of Nursing first then proceed with your reapplication process. Usually the Board of Registered Nursing has some sort of name change form you can accomplish and you can send it together with your reexamination form.

hi. i am planning to take nclex but i dunno what state to choose. i wanted cali sana coz dun nag reside relatives ko  but i guess it requires ssn. also, if i decide sa other state can i transfer to cali ba? may tourist visa na din ako. what if i decide to stay there pwede ba i pa process sa lawyer yun so that ill upgrade it to immigrant or working visa? pls need ko advice mo thnks!

California is strict with their application now so if you do not have a SSN you will not be entertained. Like what you said you can always transfer your license to California once you have a SSN. As for having a tourist visa, it is meant for you to be a “tourist” in the US it was not meant to be an upgrade. It would be best to consult a lawyer when it comes to immigration issues.

hi ms. joan,thank you for gracing your time reading my comment, i came across to your site just like them i have my queries in applying for nclex i failed twice in the nclex exam in the state of nevada and now i reapplied to arkansas through a processing center too bad that the arkansas board of nursing is requiring a SSN but i have already sent my application before they have announced the SSN thing, I just wish they would refund the money that we have paid them.Now, i’m currently seeking to apply in vermont or new mexico,im seeking a non-cgfns state. I hope you can help me on how to apply step by step to this states. I still want to take the exam again and give it a try.Thank you so much mam!God bless!

Vermont or New Mexico are two good states I just worry that you having taken the NCLEX twice and failing might be an issue when applying especially in Vermont. I am pretty sure they count the number of times you take the exam and if its 2 or 3 times before they require you to take a refresher course of some sort. So I hope that you can take that in to consideration. Also a lot of state do NOT require a CGFNS Certification exam BUT a CGFNS CES Report which basically evaluates your school records and licenses.
