Good day maam, I’m not sure of what state would I apply for NCLEX.Recently I request for the fingerprint card on California Board of Registered Nursing but I changed my mind instead I choose Vermont BON.Is it okay if i will not pursue my application in California though I already send a request for fingerprint card?And more thing,do CaBRN still process your documents even if you don’t have the SS number? Hope you can enlighten my mind about this. Thank you.

Having the CA BON fingerprint card does not limit you on what state you would want to apply. Even with the fingerprint card, you can still apply to a different state. Yes California will process your application even without the SSN but you would not be able to get a copy of your license without the SSN.

Ms.Joan,thank you very much… for your “genuine service” to all of us.

You are most welcome. Glad to be of help

1.) would it be ok to go on with my plans during at these recession times? and considering too with the retrogression of Visas at the moment….

The application process for the NCLEX-RN examination has no direct effect with the retrogression. It is the issuance of the US Visas to be able to legally work in the US that is affected.

2.) I plan to apply in NY,with regard to NCLEX ..once could have the Visa screen—is my license/NCLEX validity in NY secure for 5years or despite the visa screen,NCLEX has just validity of 2years… thanks for the time.

The VisaScreen and the NCLEX have two different functions. So treat them as a separate entitiy. Meaning, the validity of the VisaScreen will have to be renewed every 5 years and the same goes for the NCLEX-RN exam the results should be renewed depending on the state you applied in not unless you are issued a permanent license you renew it depending on the their regulation.

mam joan i want to ask regarding my status i’m here in michigan applying for nclex rn, i do all the documents needed here but still im waiting for their eligibility . i havent applied yet in pearson because i waiting for the eligibility to take exam, is it a right way to do, wait for eligibility and after i got my eligibility that the only time i applied for nclex rn

Yes because once you register with PearsonVue and pay the fee and you will receive your Authorization To Test (ATT) and that will only be valid for one (1) year. Not having the eligibility ties you down to the given one year validity and just in case you have problems with your application then that eats up time in the one year period.

Thanks for patiently addressing all my queries on your email.  It really gave me a clearer view this time on how to start with the processing of my NCLEX application.  Your website is truly helpful.  More Power!

No problem glad to be of help.

Ms. Joan, I saw in some of the post here that in sending your requirements to the Board of Nursing in Ca you commneted that a cover letter has to be attached together with the requirements and letter of explanation.  can you give me an idea as to the content of the cover letter.  Thanks

Here is a sample of the cover letter.
