Hi!

 

I just graduated this April of 2011 at University of Perpetual Help-GMA Cavite, Philippines with a BSN Bachelor of Science Nursing.

 

My husband called the California Board of nursing a few months ago to confirm if I need to take the local boards here in the Philippines because what my clinical instructors said that the requirements now is different from before. So, I wanted to confirm it. And what the nursing board said that NO need to because it will not carry over in any way to USA and is not a requirement for taking the NCLEX in USA. Maybe because I’m a USA green card holder plus I have SSN, also ready to do my USA citizenship this summer. I’m from bay area northern California, Milpitas

 

I am returning to California in early June and wanted to see if anyone has experience similar to me? Is their anything I need to do here in the Philippines before I return to USA?? So I can apply for the NCLEX with as little hassle as possible.

 

1. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO? Anything at my University before I leave?


2. What do I need to BRING with me? FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO APPLY for NCLEX when I return to USA. Or will the university do everything necessary?


3. Do you have any idea or suggestions or maybe graduated from GMA or another Philippine university? An can please describe your experience. 
   
    
   
    
   
    

Thank you for any ideas and suggestions

This is an aweful issue to have to go through.. This time, I thinik I would do anything on the positive side to assist in any part of the acceptance of the application... Best of luck t0oyou.. Please keeo us posted.. Teresa

Hiya,  It's nice to meet you.. So my opinion is for you to call the places (BON's) that you would like to apply for first and just see what the qualifications are exactly.. I believe in going right to the source instead of the "I thinks"..I appreciate other's expierences, but I think that every one has a different expierence, no matter how slight it may be.  It seems to be that California is extremely dificult, but it also seems to me that it may be the state of acceptance into the field of nursing.. Best of luck to you.. Please keep us posted.. Teresa

Hiya, I'm certainly not an expert on this subject, but it seems to be that you may need more OB and med/surg.. That's only what I have been reading here on the forum... Best of luck.. Please keep us posted.. Teresa
