hi ,

i just got here in CA feb.09,,im applying for nclex, im just getting frustrated about having a local license on which i dont have.

i took the board exam last november '09 and i failed. Do i need to explain the CABON that i failed my exam thats why i dont hold any local license, or is it ok to just tell that i dont inttend to work on Philippines. ?

please ,can anybody help me or give some advise...

are you an immigrant or us citizen? if you are, i dont think the cali bon will know that you failed the NLE when you apply for cali nclex. they just require tor from your school..they're not requiring any documents from prc. i think your written explanation will be fine not mentioning that you took and failed the nle.

 Hi I'm an immigrant and I've just graduated in the Phil. last march 2010 and now I'm currently applying for the NCLEX exam but I intend to go to the US on July 10... I'm wondering if I can just pass my application now without any fingerprint yet and I will just have the live scan as soon as I arrive there on July?...and send it to the BON by JUly?...or should it be more advisable to pass both the application and the fingerprint at the same time?... please help thanx a lot...:)

I am going to school for CNA and RN, and do you or is it required for you to get your license renewed every so often????

    hi just want to ask how did the CA BON sent ur addtl requirements? i mean how did u know that they recev ur requiremnts in applying NCLEX? they send u email or mail? and how many days u will recev from the day u sent?

tc and gb

avehc: yes, they sent me a letter. I mailed my requirements last May 11. I received their letter last June 4. I'm calling their hotline# and ask for clarifications.

 cp0828: maybe they still havent recevied your transcipt? if you sent the requirements may 11 (transcript and rle from school?), that was a very short time. most of us took at least 6 weeks for them to received our transcript from the philippines. just call them and clarify it if they already received it from the philippines.

rlglance: did you know that doing a live scan will take 1-2 weeks of processing, and doing the finger print card manually will take 2 months (without the mailing time) to process? but if you're doing manually, yes you should go to the nbi..

but the site has no rule specific statement about my concern, thanks though

oh no, i really need to take the local exam. Btw thanks for the quick reply, can you give me the contact number of that staff or CABON office?

 thanks GITANO Big help. Have a nice day. 'til next time . Aloha

 ok, i will, thanks :) 

again, My basic question is NCLEX California now requires a local license? for the nxt thread

 

no.. nclex california doesn't require a local license.. they still haven't changed their requirements besides the social security thing.. if you dont have a license, just a written explanation is needed.

IN ADDITION FOR INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS:

• 
  A. Send Breakdown of Educational Program for International Nursing Programs form to your school with the Request for Transcript form. Also provide the Certified English Translation form to your certified translator if your transcript is not in English. (See Supplemental Application Instructions for International Graduates with the application.)


• 
  B. Submit a copy of your license or diploma that allows you to practice professional nursing in the country where you were educated. If you do not hold a license, a written explanation is required. Also, provide copies of your certificates for midwifery and psychiatric nursing, if applicable.

okay, I'll be doing that. I have another clarification though.

The Board also required me this:

* Transcript sent directly to the board of registered nursing for all education/ training completed prior to enrolling in your nursing program.

Does this entail my elementary and high school education? Because my school already sent out my college transcript more than a month ago.

Thanks in advance.

Effective on April 26, 2010 California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) will no longer accept applications that do not contain a U.S. Social Security Number. The Nursing Practice Act provides for a unified examination and licensing application. Once an applicant passes the examination, a license is automatically issued. Under these circumstances the BRN cannot accept applications for the examination and licensure without a U.S. social security number....

Hi. I FINALLY got my call answered by the BON-CA. So what they wanted is my High School transcript. They called it the pre-requisites. To those who have questions, call them at 916-322-3550. You just have to be very very very patient because you will be put on the line so many times, or even get a busy tone. I got through after 10 minutes.

 

they also asked for my transcripts for all education levels. i already came from a university isn't that enough evidence that i completed high school? 

Hi avehc.

I sent my application thru LBC (May 11), and I got a response three weeks later (June 3). They were asking me for addtl requirements so I mailed them for the 2nd time thru LBC pa rin (June 24). After three weeks, I received my eligibility letter. (july 21)
