The Nursing Practice Act provides for a unified examination and licensing application. Once an applicant passes the examination, a license is automatically issued. Under these circumstances the BRN cannot accept applications for the examination and licensure without a U.S. social security number. For those applicants who have failed the exam and want to re-apply; CABON will not accept re-application without U.S Social Security Number.If you are already eligible before this memo was issued, THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU.
