The actual fingerprint card needs to be requested in the CA Board of Registered Nursing. But it can be accomplished usually in any municipalities or police agencies I am not sure though if it would be the same there in France. Processing of application can take 3-6 months. You can submit your application and then at the same time ask request from your school the necessary documents and have them fill out the forms that the CA Board of Registered Nursing is asking them to answer. If you need more information in terms of applying to California Board of Nursing you can view my article at the link provided.

Hi Ms. Joan, may gusto lang po ako itanong. I applied NCLEX thru NCLEX Exam Application Center (NEAC), the one located in St. Thomas Square,Morayta. They were also the one who mailed my application via DHL courier last October 21, 2008 and an email was sent to me that my application was safely delivered at ROSEVILLE, CALIFRONIA on October 23, 2008.

Now my questions are these:

- The BON address you stated above is in SACRAMENTO, Cali. Then why my application was delivered at Roseville? Is Roseville a part of Sacramento?

Here is the thing I really do not know how companies such as NEAC work and what their reason for having your documents sent at Roseville, CA. The office of the CA BON is located at Sacramento, CA and Roseville is about 30 miles away from Sacramento. Another thing, is maybe your documents were still in transit on its way to Sacramento. Was the final address destination in Roseville or Sacramento?

- I haven’t mailed my school credentials yet because my TOR together w/the other forms i submitted to the registrar will be release by November 15 only. What will happen to my application that arrived to Cali, will they start processing it or they will wait for my school credentials before processing anything? Useless lang ba kahit maaga ko napasa yung application form dahil late yung school credentials or start nadin nila i-process yung application ko once they have it tapos they will just wait for my school credentials to arrive? Please enlighten me miss Joan. Thank You so much.

As far as I know they will not process your papers not unless its paid but the thing is though there really is nothing much to process even with your application forms there. Bulk of the work comes with the school documents that the school sends. We really do not know what is going on or how they process it but the important thing on your part is that you make sure that the documents arrive there safely and all information are correct so that you prevent further delays with your application.

hi, i just want to ask kung ano pwede gamitin pag nagbayad po ng $150 scheduling fee?pwede po ba ung BDO mastercard?kasi tatawag daw po me sa mga numbers na binigay nila then, ibibigay ko n lng daw ung account number? hope to hear from you soon para my idea ako kung tama ung mga ginagawa ko.. thank you and Godbless

Verify with them first if they accept credit card payments. If they do, most common information asked when paying via credit card are the following:

 

• Card Holder’s Name
• Credit Card Number
• Type of Card (MasterCard, Visa, JCB, Amex) depends on what they accept
• Expiration Date
• Billing Address
• Security Code (last 3 or 4 digits near the signature area at the back of the card)

So just be ready with these information when you pay.

hi ms. joan, just want to ask you if however you pass th board exam in california but you decided to go to another state do they require you to stay in cali to work there or you can just endorse your license to another state?

Nope you just need to fulfill the requirements in the state where you intend to transfer.

M.A.S. 

I recently passed the NCLEX and in the letter that the Cali BORN gave me, it indicated that I need to send them a Social Security Number (SSN) within 3 years in order to be registered and have a license. If I fail to do so, they will “destroy my file”… So NCLEX “does” expire in California, as you have to take it again if you dont provide the BORN with an SSN within 3 years, OR if you dont apply for reciprocity. I hope this little bit of info helps. Please be aware of this if you don’t plan on or have no means of going to the US. Thanks!

Thank you very much for the information.

They won’t change your email address when you call them. They need a written documentation from you informing them about the change or correction in your email address. Just state in your letter that you are  informing them about the correction in your email address. The letter does not need to be long make it short and straight to the point.
