hi everyone1

 

currently iam here in california .. i just graduated my nursing last april 2009 and then i am applying for nclex-rn in california. they ask me for an explanation letter why i do not have a license so i reply to their request. i did not take the board exam coz my re entry permit will be expire soon. and now they asking me another documents which i cant understand why are they asking me this documents which arent in their requirments..

like:

1.class schedule for the nursing program completed at my school ( which i cant remember )

2. clinical rotation schedule, instructor signiture and location of clinical training completed

3. transcript sent directly to the board of registered nursing for all education/ training completed prior to enrolling in your nursing program( like what is this? after highschool i directly enroll in nursing course)

can someone help me what to do about this problem.. what should i do ...

why is it right now they are asking so many requirements and documentations. that for me its irelevant coz my school already send the requirements they needed in my school and now they' re asking this..

thanks...

 

This seems to be a common problem with foreign students.

You don't say where you went to nursing school. I gather you are not a US citizen. From the response of the board I also gather you did not go to nursing school in the US.

If you went to nursing school outside the US, you must provide proof of licensure where ever it is you are from before you can sit the NCLEX in the US. You must also meet other requirements to show that your education is acceptable.

If you went to nursing school in the US, your school still has to be acceptable to California.

Your school must be approved by the Board in order for you to sit the NCLEX. If you went to nursing school in your home country, then it is probably not an approved school and they will not let you sit boards. If you did your program online in a "US based" program, but a foreign school actually issues the degree, then that school is not eligible for you to sit boards in California.

You say you can't remember things like your class schedule: if you do not provide this information they WILL NOT let you sit boards! You need to go to your school and get this information. The BRON will NOT make an exception!

All of this information is available with the application for licensure by examination.

I don't quite understand why you didn't take your board exam when you graduated in April. What do you mean by that?

I might be able to explain better if you could answer some questions:

Where did you go to school?
What country are you from?
Have you passed the TOEFL?

to theala...

i did not take the board exam coz i need to be back here in california coz my re entry will be expired soon. i know for sure my school is eligible. my sister takes her nclex already and we came from the same school...its not a problem for eligibility..

thanks kaymacal! yeah thats the only choice i have to get all the documents from my school and hope they will help me with this matter.. thanks!

hey guys. good news. i graduated nursing from the philippines last march 2008. and i flew back in CA and i dint take the NLE in the PI. and after getting my diploma. i sent my application sa CAbon and a letter of explanation. they sent back a letter saying that.. i just need to send a copy of my passport. and the papers that would be coming from the school. then i could take my nclex na daw.

fyi. im a green card holder, green passport pa din ako. kaya for those fil immigrants dont worry. just tell them a credible reason and make it reasonable. ndi lang dpat kasi na u dont intend to practice.

Hi, I just graduated in the Philippines last march of this year (2009) and moved back here in the US. I am a green card holder and I applied for the NLCEX, I received a mail from the CBON saying that i have to submit a copy of my license in the philippines but i don't have a local license since I din't took the local board exam.  I am worried if they don't give me an eligibility to take the exam and have to passed the local board exam first, I don't wanna go back there again and take the local board. Can you help me what did you tell them on your letter na hindi mo na kailangan ang local board? I am so stress na...hope you can help me.

hello i dont know why your having problems in processing your nclex req... did you correctly follow the instructions? so,first,are you the one who mailed those reqs?like example the transcripts,RLE etc.because supposed to be school is responsible for that matter they are the one who will send those or have some printed name of your school at the envelop,and you can send your own papers here like your own application the one with the ssn number etc..which you are paying 75....because they may invalidate your application if you sended all at once...

Mine i just graduated last 2008 and they did not ask for my license in Phil im an Permanent Residence here...you should'nt have a problem if you did it right feel free to msg me or at my facebook angela101287@gmail.com

hey i'm currently a 4th yr nusing student in the philippines, but i am a US citizen under a student visa. i'm just wondering about the whole requirements needed to take the NLCEX, such as the PRC forms and cases that is needed for the local board exams- does nlcex require you to also submit a list of major,minor, devilery, cord dressing cases? it used to be a requirement in school to complete the list of cases to be able to graduate but they  took that out, you only need to complete it before taking the local exams, cause of the lack of exposure to these cases.

i don't plan on taking the board but going staight to nlcex, so other informations were helpful with the whole "reason" you don't have a license and all.

pls rply! thank you!
