Hi. I would just like to ask. Is it ok if I put my uncle’s address in the mailing address on the application form? since he’s in New York. Because after three months I’d be staying there anyway. And is it also ok if i put in the IMMIGRATION STATUS that Im temporarily in U.S even if Im not yet there? Can I notarize my application form here in the Philippines? Thanks! Your help would really be appreciated!

It would be fine to use your uncle’s address for your application. The thing is even if you are staying with your uncle that doesn’t mean that your immigration status also changes although there is an option of being a non immigrant but the thing is you are not yet even there and if you declare that that is equivalent to giving false information not unless you submit your form once you get there in the US. If you want to pursue towards that direction it would be best to submit your application form once you get there and just process the other requirements such as CVS-NY etc.

I have a question regarding about my ATT, upon printing my ATT i totally have a different address printed on my att because i was using my sister’s address at america for mailing purposes only which i was their for a vacation and applying for my Nclex application…how can i change my ATT to my address here in the phils?… it say’s in the info that i have to match my name and address to my identification card which is my passport. Are they gonna print a new ATT for me? or this ATT that i just printed is the one I’m gonna pass?.. thank you. hoping for your reply would help me. thank you again. and have a great day.

Hi There. I personally think that this might not be an issue since in your passport it doesn’t indicate an address where you are living. The important thing is that your name and identification (passport) matches the ATT those are the crucial things they look at when you take the examination. But if you feel uncomfortable, you can always contact Pearson Vue for the change of address.

Hi there.. I have a different query… I am  NCLEX Cali passer.. I have given a job offer to Saipan.. Does saipan provide SSN ? and is it the same for the entire US so i can get my license from California?? And i want to know the way of living there if i will be relocated there. thank you so much!

The SSN is being provided by the US Government/ Immigration not by any state boards of nursing. And each person who is legally staying in the US are assigned with a SSN. As for your relocation, this will depend with what you and your employer agreed upon but most probably if you want to work in Saipan you would need to relocate there since Saipan and California are far from each other.

Kapapasa ko lang po ng NCLEX exam (for Cali) last January po…Tapos this February po, nakahanap po ako ng employer pero based po sila in Missouri. Ngayon po, hindi ko po alam kung anong mga hakbang ang kailangan ko gawin para maprocess ko po ang papers ko don. Kasi po may hinihingi po sila na mga bagay na wala ako like yung Verification ng license and etc. Wala pa po akong license kasi po yung Cali nagrerequire naman ng SSN pero I have no way to get it since I’m here sa Pinas. Another thing po is yung CGFNS exam…kelangan ko pa po bang kumuha non? Mejo buhol-buhol po ang kaalaman ko sa mga reqts for para makakakuha ako ng nursing license sa Missouri. Hindi naman ako masyado matulungan ng employer kasi first time nila maghire ng nurses out of the country…

Congratulations! Most of the requirements you need for Missouri Nursing Application can be seen on the link provided. You do not need to have a SSN in order to verify that you passed the NCLEX-RN examination in California. You just need to submit the form that is supplied by the Missouri Board of Nursing to verify your license and pay the fee needed to process such to the California Board of Nursing. And yes you would need a Course by Course Report from CGFNS as a requirement by the Missouri Board of Nursing. Let me know if I can help you with anything else.

Hi maa’m Joan, Gusto ko lang po sanang malaman maa’m kung kailangan ba talagang certified true copy ang i submit ko for my Diploma? andito na kasi ako sa U.S tapos dala dala ko and original diploma ko, ano po ba ang dapat kong gawin?at saka maa’m puede po ba akong magtake ng NCLEX sa California kahit wala akong local license hindi na kasi ako nakapagtake after my graduation kasi malapit ng ma expire visa ko kaya umalis na lang ako after graduation. at saka maa’m tatanggapin ba nila or are they going to process my application kahit wala pa akong social security number, last year pa kasi ako nag apply for my social security number pero hangang ngayon wala pa rin akong natanggap but they gave me a proof of letter stated that i applied already for my social security number.thanks a lot in advance maa’m and have a nice day!!!!

You can just send a photocopy of your diploma rather than sending your actual diploma since they won’t be giving that back to you. In relation to this, please take note that the diploma they are asking for is the one you get from PRC stating that you are a registered nurse not the one given by the school. There isn’t a specific rule in California that you need to have a local license to sit for the NCLEX-RN examination but be ready to make an explanation letter on why you do not hold a license in the country where you were educated. This is usually a case to case basis. They will process your application even without the SSN but upon passing they will write a letter to you asking for your SSN in order for them to provide you with your actual license. Also, please take note that  the SSN is given to legal residents/ US Citizens. Hope this helped. Good luck with your application.
