Any rn dreamers?!?!
 

I was scheduled to take the NCLEX today in Texas and got turned away because apparently a limited term Texas driver license and a Employment Authorization Card are not valid forms of ID !!! Has anyone faced a similar situaiton?...i am so angry

Re: Any rn dreamers?!?!
 

Wow sorry to hear about that, such a heartbreak. Anyways you should go back there and talk to a supervisor. Don't let them crush your hard work so easily. an ID is an ID even if there's a limited term on it. Go back there tomorrow and don't leave before they reschedule you for another test asap.

That does suck.

Looking at the NCLEX page, it says that:
So my guess is they interpret the limited-term license as being "temporary."

They also say:
It doesn't specify U.S. passport... so did you try using your passport?

Unfortunately I don't have a passport and am unable to get one, only forms of ID I possess are DL and work permit. Im trying to sort it out with the nursing board hopefully I can resolve this.

10dream I am facing the exact problem as you. I am I texas. Was turned away. Called the board and Pearson vue. No one can help me. I can't also get a passport. Did you have any luck?

Re: Any rn dreamers?!?!
 

Try to get a hold off your native country's consulate in the US for a passport. Maybe contact an agency in your birth country directly. I know some people have obtained the RN license with DACA. Worst case scenario, try another state? I know it's a big deal moving out-of-state but it may be worth it if Texas is not trying to help you out. Obviously as a last resort, I am sure someone here will give better advice from personal experience as RN. Good luck.

I was just thinking the same thing about moving out of state, to Maryland maybe. Well thx . Will continue to see what I can do

Re: Any rn dreamers?!?!
 

I was finally able to take the nclex. I had to get in touch with the Mexican consulate and get my Mexican passport. They will let you take it with your countries passport. What state are you in?

Re: Any rn dreamers?!?!
 

Sorry had not read the whole thread. I had to get in touch with a lawyer in Mexico. I wasn't able to get a passport because I had a different last name in Mexico. The Mexican lawyer changed my name over there, once she did that I was able to get my passport at the consulate here. It took a long time about 3 months but I was finally able to test about 3 weeks ago. . . If there is anything I can help you with message me, I will be more than happy to help. Dreamers got to stick together!

Many thx . I know I will have to get a passport. It will take me a long time too. Happy to hear you solved this problem.
