NCLEX Application: California Board of Registered Nursing
Welcome to Nurse.Nonoy.Net! You can also subscribe to my feeds, get Email updates or socialize with me thru Facebook, Facebook Group and Twitter!
UPDATE Since April 26, 2010: California now requires SSN on NCLEX Application, Renewal, Retake. They won’t accept your application anymore without it. Read my post about it here.
California Board of Registered Nursing is one of the State Boards that don’t require CGFNS certification or evaluation, so it is much cheaper to apply. If you want to be licensed in California thru NCLEX Application, here are some of the things you need to consider:
- California NCLEX Application forms and instructions are downloadable from their website.
- Criminal Background Check is a requirement. Applicants need to submit filled up FBI Fingerprint Cards for checking or you can have Live Scanning if you are present in California.
- Nursing Education Evaluation and License Verification are sent directly to California Board of Registered Nursing for evaluation, must be comparable to State Board’s standard.
- They now require SSN; failure to submit means rejection of application.
- Payment of $126 is made thru demand draft, check or money order payable to Board of Registered Nursing.
- Processing time of your California eligibility ranges from 1-3 months.
If you want hassle-free California NCLEX Application Processing, I personally recommend NEAC.
NEAC Nurse Exam Application Center can provide you what states require CES, CGFNS or English Exam and also Criminal Background Check or Continuing Education Credits. Some states requires you to have U.S Social Security Number and unless you have one your application sent to those states won’t be process until you provide a SSN. The application fees submitted to those states may not be refundable which means you may loose the application fee sent. In addition to that NEAC provides information such as: what the projected nursing shortage the state you chose, its nurse salary ranking among 50 states, cost of living, Filipino population in that state, and the climate information for that state. Such information can help you to choose the best state that suits your goals. NEAC also prepares NCLEX applications and sends it to the U.S.

good day, Nonoy. I just mailed my packets A and B recently. I realized i made a mistake in the amount to be paid. Its supposed to be 126usd for the application fee and fingercard processing, right? instead of 126, i paid 131usd. i was assuming 5 dollars was for the banks processing fee but i used my friends account in BPI and since he’s a depositor, they didnt charge any for the fee. what was written in the bank draft was 131usd. is that okay? Would the board of registered nursing in california know what the payment is for? Thank you, Nonoy. Hope to hear from you soon

Good day!
Pasensiya na, medyo out of topic ang question ko. Sana eh you could help me.
My daughter has passed the local boards and just recently, the NCLEX-California. Now she is preparing for her IELTS.
But now her US citizen boyfriend,who resides in California, is planning to file a fiancee visa for her.
Does she still need to take the IELTS exam and process her visa screen?
Thank you in advance.

Hi! My fingerprint card was rejected last Feb. I was able to resend my fingerprint card today lang. I already have my ATT. Now, I’m planning to call them para magpa-schedule ng exam maybe 3rd week of July. Is it ok to call Pearsonvue na to schedule my self? Or will I have to wait na mareceive nila ang fingerprint card ko? Thank you sir!

As long as you have the ATT, you can schedule anytime within the validity.

Hi Sir Noy,
I am a 2nd-courser in the phils taking BSN & graduated just last April, 2010 I did not take the Local Board but is planning to get the NCLEX. My school has already sent my credentials to the California BON 3 weeks ago before my arrival here in Hawaii just last June 26. My problem now is the requirement on PRC license. Can I still take the NCLEX?
Maraming Salamat,

And Curious lang bakit tape po dapat gamitin instead na glue for the 2×2 pic sa application. and NURSING PROGRAM VERIFICATION optional po yun right?
about 1 year ago
Importante sa lahat may SSN ka, kung wala, find another state.
You can submit Cert of Passing from PRC and explanation letter kung wala pa license mo.
I dont know about the tape, basta sundin lang natin. Yes optional ang nursing prog verification.

Hi sir! I already send my requirements to Saipan BON (thinking i dont have an SSN), they replied saying my mode of payment is incorrect and that my documents will be hold until payment is settled. Now that I was able to get the correct check for Saipan and at the same time figured out that I have an SSN originally from Guam. What would be your best advice? Is Califonia much ok than Saipan? Your response would be highly appreciated! Thanks!

Mr. Nonoy,
I dont know what happened to my Nclex Application for California. I sent all the required documents and payment, Packages A and B separately in October 2009. until now, which is more than a year have passed, I haven’t received any eligibility letter, any kind of notice, whatsoever yet. Unfortunately, the email address I placed there in my application was hacked, so I can’t see any email notification as well. What could be the cause of the delay? is it because there are a lot of nurses applied for the Nclex Cali? or was it because about the new rule that an SSN is required? or my email is no longer working? I dont know what else to do. Please help or please send a reply in the email address I have provided. Your reply will certainly help me and greatly appreciated.
