Can I apply for a job even without my Perm License?

Hi. I just passed the NCLEX-RN this week. Took the test on the 11th and saw my name on the CA BRN website today. I was just wondering if I can apply for a job (a health fair job) even though I haven't received my permanent license yet?

Please help me! Thanks!
I don't see why not. Just tell them you already took NCLEX and are awaiting your license in the mail. Also, you probably have a license number from the BON website you could give them.

Yes. Most places will only ask for your license number, not to see your actual license. In fact, you should never let anyone copy your license or give a copy of your license to anyone because of the possibility of identity theft. If you have to give a copy, be sure to write 'VOID' across the front.

Yes! Many places that hire new grads extend offers before the applicants have even graduated.
