You're welcome! I applied last august and received my eligibility last november. Yes! I included an explanation letter with my application. I'll send you a copy as a message...

hi jane. can u also please send me a copy of your explanation letter? coz i am also having problem in getting the eligibility letter to exam=(

 Thank you so much.

 Hi! I was eligible to take the exam, however I got expired. Now, I am applying again. Do you think being eligible before counts for me to be eligible now? Thank you.:)

 Hi Theresa! I hope it is really an "in" for me..:) thanks again! mwaahh!

 Hi, I have already a license from vermont. I passed the nclex on year 2006. I graduated last 2005, and passed the board on that same year.

I had my endoresement done from vermont to california. I received letter few weeks ago asking all those other requirements like my SS number, passport, and my DR and OR cases. I read that they will asked to study 2 more years on your OB and MS. On this matter, I have already masters in PH on medical-surgical nursing, and  had my midwife license on year 2009 because I took the exam on midwifery. 

I called my evaluator regarding on this issue, and she told me, she is waiting for my other documents if Im concurrent or not. I told her, Im afraid Im not since I very well remembered that I finished my DR cases on the first semester of 4th year, on that note she said " you are non concurrent I suppose" but still she will wait for my docs to check. then I told her "what If i had masters on my ms?", (though Iwasnt able to tell her that I had midwifery license coz she was in a hurry over the phone)  and she said, " I believe california dont accept masters from the philippines"..I told her I would send her my TOR on my masters, and she said no need. But my husband thinks its better for us to send it, so that at least I could still have their consideration on my part. I am still waiting for their reply..

Anyone who has masters and midwife here? pls your advice is greatly needed..

mrschuckie, I don't have my masters or my midwifery degree. However, If a member on this site does, I'm sure they will contact you.. Also, you may want to friend drtomconrad, he may be able to assist you.. Best of luck to you.. Please keep us posted.. "

 

Thanks Teresa..I ams still waiting from them.. Though on the part of nurses who are in the philippines, and are paying to take the califronia application is quite devastating for them. Meeting the financial aspect is one thing. Money in the Philippines is not easy. So I guess, they at least release a statement, letting all the people know about it..not taken everybody by surprise.

Hi, I just arrive here ni Fremont,CA last February of this year. I'm an RN in the Philippines and thinking of taking the NCLEX. Somehow I feel hesistant to because of all the issues that I have read and heard. But I really love to pursue this profession but the thing is I don't want to go back to School again. What do you think is best thing to do? thank you and God Bless us all.

Hello, everyone.

I'd like to apologize in case you find my post negative.

I am a US immigrant residing here in California. I took my first NCLEX-RN in 2010.  Unfortunately, I failed

I submitted my application to RE-exam and since I haven't gotten any response from BON, I decided to give them a call.

I was told to wait for a letter in the mail. Apparently, they recently sent me a letter which I might receive next week.

I was told that I need to submit my clinical logs and that this paper should come directly from my school in the Philippines.

I did ask if it's necessary to do that since I have an active file with them and I have already submitted all the necessary papers

with my initial application? The person I spoke with could not elaborate, but she said "all you have to do is to provide us with this

requirement. Unless you're able to provide this, you can't take the exam."

I was initially bummed out because I know tha this will take a long time.

THEN I decided to research on this and stumbled upon this forum.

I'm soooo scared. Although I haven't gotten the letter in the mail, I think I know where this is going to lead.

After reading all the posts here I know I will be denied to take the exam.

I did finish my clinicals before I graduated, However I know I did not take my clinicals on the same semester I had my theory.

Should I apply for another state? Which state would you recommend? I am willing to relocate as honestly, I don't like it here in California.

It doesn't matter=( Just got off the phone. Spoke with a BON representative. I took the exam once and I recently applied for a re-exam, they are now asking me for my clinical duties/hours/dates/etc. I told them I already completed the requirements during my initial application, but it apparently does not matter.

 Did anyone get here finish their cases before 4th year and get approved to take the NLCEX? and do you really need a local license because I was born here in the US and i just went to the Phil to study nursing & never took the NLE.

I certainly haven't heard that from anyone.. But, I do look forward to some responses.. Teresa

Hiya, It sounds to me that they are asking you for #1 on the list.. Go with that.. If you are concerned, why don't you just call them and get the information right from their mouths?   Best of luck to you..Please keep us posted..Teresa

Yes, please keep us updated.. I think that's the only way we may be able to stay one step ahead of the CBON..Teresa

Hiya and welcome to you.. I think the best thing to do is call the BON directly and they will giive you the correct information and not the "I thinks"..You can also do a search on the internet.. Best of luck to you.. Please keep us posted.. Teresa

No problem.. It is my pleasure.. Please keep us posted.. Teresa
