Q&A: Retaking the NCLEX-RN Examination, Change of Address and more…
NEOTRINITY
Hi! I would like to clarify about the retake forms. In California, they gave the instructions to download the forms. But they also said that once you pass your requirements, you dont need to pass them again. in the reapplication forms, (by the way, they did not send any reapplication forms with the rejection letter) there’s a nursing verification form for your school (again?). i thought we dont need to pass any more forms that we previously sent the Cali BON? I really need to know which form/forms to send coz I cant wait to retake my exam. Need to get it over with ASAP. Thank you in advance.:D
Okay here is the thing, if you have sent a nursing program verification form before then it is not necessary to send them again. All you need to mail to them is the filled up re-application form and the fee of $75. After mailing those forms, you should receive your ATT after a month or so. But please bear in mind that you have to wait for 45 days since you last took your NCLEX-RN exam before you can reregister in PearsonVue.

hello maam.. I received a letter from california stating that I passed the NCLEX-RN exam and that they are requesting me to submit my US SSN which I dont have. What should I do maam?..And how will I confirm that I really passed the test? Can I call them? And kailangan ko pa po bang magtake ng CGFNS at IELTS for california maam? What shall I do next maam?..
Congratulations! Well the letter is enough to confirm that you have passed the test as it states. As for the US SSN the thing is you have to find an employer for that. As for the CGFNS and IELTS it is not a pre requisite for California Board of Nursing. You might want to consider applying for the VisaScreen which some employers look for in Nurses but way all options first since US is in recession and currently no visas are being released so you might want to consider that first. You can always gain experience first in the field to broaden your options.

I am getting married within the year to an American but I still wish to practise my profession. I have taken it twice but failed. Is it better to take it after getting married. Will my married status erase my record of passing it twice in a row? Or is all right to retake th eNCLEX prior to getting married. I am confused as I am no longer practising my profession after having flanked twice. Thanks, Joan
I don’t think your civil status would change the records of your NCLEX-RN exam taking history. And if you are married, make sure you inform the Board of Nursing in which you applied to about the changes. Usually, most Board of Nursing’s have forms pertaining to Change of Name/ Address forms. You just need to take this as a challenge more than anything else. Before taking it again, take time to analyze everything and see where you think things went wrong. If it helps, you can view my article called NCLEX-RN Materials and Tips that might help you out. Good luck and let me know if I can help you with anything else.

i’ll be taking my NCLEX-RN exam here in the Phils this coming november. the address in my ATT is my mom’s address in california and i’m currently residing here in the Phils. will the Board still allow me to take the exam even if i have a different address indicated in my ATT? Thank you Mam and God bless!
Yes the address would not be an issue. What you need to consider in taking the exam is the name on your ATT should match the one in your passport. Good luck with your examination!

hi! cud sum1 help me pls? im applying for nclex. in sending my otr, do my school have to send the original or the certified photocopied one? Should they also attached the university diploma? i have my PIC already, do i also have to send my board certificate?
Okay I am kind of confused with your question. Your school should be the one sending all the requirements that they are asking from the school not you. The college diploma is not necessary what you need to send together with your application form is the copy of your license if you do not have one at the moment the board certificate would be fine.
