Hello im kind of new here, and it seems you have helped a lot with the info that you know.

"2. That your nursing clinical rotation schedule AND clinical cases be complete *per* skill type."

You mentioned this in one of your replies. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!? It would mean a lot if you could help me out! thank you.

P.S IT REALLY SUCKS WITH THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING IN CALIFORNIA!

yup its the same board of nursing in california.... i took the test 3x and planning to take the test again fourth time and all of a sudden they send me a letter that they wont allow me to take the test because i didn't meet the requirements on med-surg and obstetrics

This is also my predicament. I took the exam once and failed, but I have applied a long time ago (2009?)

I wonder if there's anything that we can do since we have already been allowed to take the exam before. I wonder if writing to

the proper authorities will help? Maybe a petition>??

Thanks, TeresahRN.

From what I researched (mostly from forums), I think there's a high chance that I will not be allowed to re-exam in CA=(

I'll try talking to BON evaluator, but I honestly think it's not in their hands to decide

 I am having the same problem....i took it once and failed then i re applied to take the exam and now they send me this letter saying that i need to take medsurg and obstetrics again..this is really depressing...

Hi, I have read almost all of the posts in this forum as I am currently having the same problem with you guys. I just called the NCLEX Cali BON and asked about the status of my application since I have sent all the additional requirements they wanted for more than 2 months ago and I haven't received a letter from them, which makes me really anxious, due to the dillemas my co Phillippines Nursing Grads are facing regarding their application for NCLEX Cali. So there, I just called them and I was told that I need to take additional Med Surg and OB courses, which surprised me bigtime, for I know I have done it during Nursing School. But anyways, since I have read quite some of the posts I knew that I wasn't the only one having this problem. My question is that, I am not residing in California, I am currently living in Texas, will that mean I have to transfer to California and enroll in their schools or I can also take those courses from the schools here in the Lone Star State? I'm really getting more and more depressed here..

TeresahRN says ...

If you live in Texas, why would you have to take the exam in California ?   Teresa

 

Because I already took the NCLEX Cali back when I was in the Philippines but unfortunately I didn't pass. So when I came to Texas I decided to retake the exam since I thought that would be easier cause they already have my papers and that I don't have to start from the very beginning like if I apply to another state

i have the same case with you guys. retake of med-surg and ob classes, but the thing is they have limited schools here in california that offers our case, if there is the waiting list is too long, and slim chance of getting in. ..Anyone residing in Anaheim? or near the area? I am new here and would love to gain more friends with the same CA BON case..please message me. thankx

u need a ssn and gc to take the nclex...what state are u in?..are your scrubs concurrent with your lectures(your major and minor scrubs need to be taken the same year with your ms lecture& your deliveries and cord cares need to be completed in the same year as ob-pedia lecture)

go to a college and talk to the director of nursing and show your transcripts if you have credentials

hope i helped!!
