me, they required me to take ms and ob classes again. i dont know yet what specific leel they want me to take.

Folks, there are other forums that explain this issue.. It seems that the school programs in the Phillipines,  are not as complete with the proper hours in OB/Med-Surg as in the US.  That seems to be the reason the CBON wants you to take futher instructions.. Teresa

Hiya, If I was you, I would find that out directly from the CBON... Best of luck to you..Teresa

Must be a new requirement or some changes in their policy, have not experienced that during my time when i took my NCLEX July of 2008.

 i was denied last week..licensing analyst stated I need to take ms,ob and psychiatric nursing courses again..???..im thinking should i enroll or take cna for ca experience and fast track employment..at this time for me LVN/RN can wait but income cannot..Can I have my BSN from PHIL transcript evaluated for cna exam or do I still have to do the Ca cna training..NEED HELP!!

 

You can take LVN or CNA exam without any formal training. call the dept. of health for CNA and go to the website of the board of vocational nursing & psych tech.

Thank you for this information and posting it on the forum.. Teresa

oic..so where are u now?CAL?..your ms,ob clinical cases have to be completed in the same sem as the lecture..yep...I've heard on allnurses.com a website like this one that the senate signed something saying that the sunset of nursing is 2016..on www.rn.ca.gov..if i am not mistaken..

 

 

yeah i am in cali. i havent applied for the nclex tho. what do you mean sunset of nursing is 2016?

I don't want to spread gossip or tales, but if I remember correctly the BON was being investigated on all of the denials they were handing out to foreign nurses.. Teresa

Oh should that be a good thing? 

TeresahRN says ...

I would think so, but who knows how long the investigation will take....Teresa

 

hmm i know right. well thanks for the info!

 I hope the investigators resolve this issue on denying us Phil/foreign grads..and must be a positive resolution...a special continuing/completion education/program for us to retake these said classes(ob,med-surg,psychiatric nursing)..so we dont have a difficult time to find schools that offer individual courses....if it is possible...

 i really do hope so...for those who really want to take and pass and be a RN here in CAL..for me maybe in a couple of years.. i am applying for cna examination and maybe advance to LVN nd then RN in a couple of years.. .CNA for the meantime for work experience

Hello fellow nurse graduates struggling to get licensed as a RN in CA. I have some news. I found a school that could possibly help with our licensing situation in CA. It's Victor Valley College in Victorville. I know it's far for most of you but if yo really want to stay in Ca and work here's your chance. I have been in contact with the nursing director at VVC. They may have a program for us. It's not for sure yet because they don't have the students. If we can get a minimum of 10ppl they mightapprove it. I say might because they're thinking of how much everything will cost. Professors and hospital for clinicals aren't cheap. If you need Med surg, OB, or both please contact me. This program would have to be during the summer and winter. I will be the one to generate the list and present it to the director at VVC. Also if you know anyone else that is looking for a school, please have them contact me. The sooner the list is generated the sooner we can get to the next step in getting this program started.

Please email me at flypinay24x7@yahoo.com with the subject INTERESTED IN VVC PROGRAM

SPREAD THE WORD!!!
