I am a R.N. that is locally living in philippines (philippine citizen) i want to take the CALIFORNIA-NCLEX? i want to take the CALIFORNIA NCLEX nursing board but it's requiring a social security number to register to even take the test.I checked with pearsonvue.com AND http://www.rn.ca.gov/ I am currently in the process of getting the proper paperwork to live and work there in the USA... In the meantime i wanna pursue my nursing requirements and take the nclex. IS THERE A WORK AROUND THIS? |

| Posted about 4 years ago As far as i know, you can take the NCLEX_RN exam even if you dont have the Social Security Number (SSN) yet, but in case you pass the NCLEX-RN exam through the California Board of Nursing, a letter will be sent to you stating that a SSN is required before a permanent license is issued. I don't think they require first for an SNN before letting you take the exam The letter from the California Board of Nursing also states that the SSN must be provided within a 3-year window or the applicant’s file will be considered abandoned and destroyed.
