| canadian nurse Help. I am a Canadian nurse, licensed here in Canada. I would like to obtain a US license. I have already done all the paperwor, transcripts, fingerprints etc, in California, but I need a US social security number to get licensed. How do I do this? From what I understand, I need to have a job to get a license, but then I need to have a license to get a job. HELP Charlene

| Have you written the NCLEX exam? When I moved to California from Ontario, I discovered my RN license from Canada ws not valid. I don't think you need a SSN in the U.S. to write the board exam. As for getting a job out here, you might want to start with a travel company to see if you like it here on the left coast. |

| Re: canadian nurse Thanks for the reply. I have not written the NCLEX but as I understand, there are a number of states that will recognize your Canadian education as long as you have supporting documents. California is one of those states and I have done everything there, except get an SS number.
