help

Ive graduated last march'o8 and currently holding a student visa. I havent taken the local board exam in the phils...no local license.  Will i be eligible to take nclex in CA. or if not, in other states?

Im a green card holder, recently in the Phil. taking up nursing and will finish this April of 2009.  My plan is to immediately come back to US without taking the local boards and take the NCLEX in the US through California although I reside in Texas and just get reciprocity. How many months of waiting from the time one applies for the CaBON till one gets the ATT. Or if I take the NCLEX in the Phil., anyone knows what the requirements are?  I appreciate your time and response. Thanks a lot.

i just wanted to ask if possible makapag take ako ng nclex even i failed the local board in the philippines, but im goin to have my greencard visa after 6months...i just got married here last sept and living with my husband here US, my papers were under process ..is there possibilities n makapag nclex ako here?

i submitted the requirements last year and reason ko i failed the exam pero wla pa ko noon na papers like i was tourist when i went here, but then i got married nga and waiting for the petition paper from my husband..pano ko re apply ang aking application na pnadala ko last year pag nagkaron n ko ng greencard?

oh really pwede pala na ung reason ko the nextime mag apply ako was like hindi ako interested mag work sa philippines? wla pa akong eligibility at ATT..coz i just got married last sept 14, 2008 then apply p lng nmin ng husband ko ung papers ko so wait ko pa greencard ko..sna pwede ako mag nclex..nver pa ko nag take ng nclex po..plan ko last year kso un nga as a tourist naubos time ko kaya umuwi ako ng pinas..then d nga daw pwede ung wlang local board s pinas..pero tourist ako that time inisip ko kung possible pag greencard holder na ako

thank u nabuhayan ako at nagkaron ng lakas ng loob na icontinue ang profession ko..so pwede ako mag hospital training muna even wla p kong nclex yun i have to pay for the hospital for experience lang..and to recall my knowledge regarding sa nursing

coz ive met someone here last year and plan nga nla mag take ng nclex while waiting sa legibility/ATT nla meron hospital na kakilala ung tita nla para mag hospital training and they paid dollars pra lng magkron ng experience..cgro depende sa state and hospital..pero thank u tlga sa advice nio God Speed

hi vian!!!!im immigrant same as you i got my eligibilty already just make sure before you are going to leave phils.make sure your req's from school are complete.email me if you need some more info angela_bucsit@yahoo.com make your subj as immigrant so i can easly recognize you...seeyah!

hey darl!its up to you take your nclex once you recieved your ATT doesnt matter to take nclex within 3mos as long as your ATT is on a valid date the time you recieved it.what i know here in CA is 1year.and also the eligibilty

hey guys...

I got my application too... but i really dont know if i will pursue this one... I also graduated this march of 2008 and i flew back to canada just after my graduation... But here in canada is different case... they dont recognize our studies back home... and im only to practice as RPN after passing their exam... and if i wanna practice as RN i need a bridging program that will took me for almost 3 years... (good for masteral..right?).. now i want to take NCLEX but i dont know which state should i applied for that wont look for my local license as i dont have any... do you know any other state that dont need one? please let me know.....

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi thanks for clearing some things out. I'm less confused now, but i got another question. So i sent my letter explaining that I'm a U.S citizen and wanted to to persue my nursing career in CA, but did'nt attach any documents of proof that I'm a U.S citizen, should i send another one, and do i send that with my diploma?

hello.. i nid some help..

i'm a greencard holder..graduated last october 2008..and 3 days more to go im going back there in CA, still confuse with so many things..my question is what would my frst move wen i get there in CA? how long does it takes for CA BON to evaluate or process the eligibility to take the NCLEX>??based on my status, as an immigrant.. do i really nid to take the local board as a requirement for the applcation of NCLEX.. or ican take the NCLE without my local license

*if you dont mind.. what would be the best resaon if just in case they ask me why do i have to take the NCLEX  here..coz it says in some of the comments in this blog..that all u nid is to get  ur requirements from the  school u graduated such as transcript and diploma .certifying that u are a nursing graduate in that school..

*one more thing guys, what review center here in CA ur best recommneded..tnx alot..

Your move should be to prepare your application and make sure that everything is complete. That your school has the necessary forms to fill up and be sent to the CA BON. I am an immigrant as well... My application here took about 3 months or less to be evaluated. I didn't take the local board in the Philippines. What i did instead is to send a written report that I didn't have my license and my reason. I sent a copy of my re-entry and passport as proof. It would depend on your reason I guess. Make sure it's good and be honest. Oh yeah! Since you don't have a license, you have to send a copy of your diploma together with your application.

My review center was kaplan... It's recommended by most people.

hi there, i just got here in the US last december 30, and i just found out the other day about this issue regarding BON being strict when it comes to applying for NCLEX if one has graduated from a nursing school abroad. i graduated in the Philippines too and i'm about to apply for NCLEX. so does this mean that i have go back to the philippines, start completing my cases (new ones) and take the local board exam in there?  i was at least glad to have read this topic so that i will know more information about what's teh latest in the policy of BON.

I heard that the CA BON has become more strict. But when I applied just recently, they had sent me my eligibuility despite the fact that I didn't have my license yet in the Philippines as well. The best thing you could do is to call the BON and check if they have a new policy and what you could do in your situation. Maybe you don't have to take the local board like me, so it's better to ask them.

thanks for the response ^^ so when did you really applied for nclex? did you also include a letter of explaination to your application for nclex? what did you write in there then?
