| Posted about 2 years ago Hi Everyone! after reading this thread I have some questions and hopefully someone can answer I graduated in DLSU in 2000 in Marketing. Then I went to Singapore since I got a job there. In 2003 I went back to the Philippines and decided to take a Nursing. I finished all my academics and clinical but did not turn my papers to my school since I was not planning on taking the local board exam. In 2008 I met my husband and now I'm a Greencard holder here in California. Since I want to take the board here, I went back to the Philippines to have my clinical signed to get an SO. I'm just waiting for my school to finish all the papers so I can apply for NCLEX. I'm wondering do I need my Transcrip from La Salle and from my nursing school? How about diplomas? Also my interim greencard will expire this August and I have to apply for a permanent greencard. Will it be a problem if I apply next month?
Thanks

| Posted about 2 years ago HI Everyone, I finally got my SO. Now I'm applying for NCLEX and for some reason, my school doesnt even know what I should request from them. Can someone please help me on what I need to apply for NCLEX. i.e. what do I need to provide with my application. original or copy? Take note. I dont have a local license from Philippines, but I am a greencard holder here in the US. I finished Marketing in La Salle and took a 2nd course nursing in mindanao. Do I need both transcript from both school? Also please provide me on what I need to request from my school? Do they send it directly from my school to NCLEX or can they give me a sealed envelope and send it to NCLEX?
Thanks in advance

| Posted almost 2 years ago I would like to inquire about the CA BON reqs. I'm a green card holder and I recently arrived here in the US i'm currently in Chicago right now. I graduated last april 2011 from Cebu Phils. I was schedule to take the Phils NLE on December but I couldn't stay longer in the Phils. cause my visa was expiring. I'm planning to take the NCLEX in Calif the website indicated that you would need an explanation letter for this. People in the previous entries stated that it is a case to case basis. I'm really confused can anyone help me? |

| Posted over 1 year ago hi guys.. i just got my eligibility today from BRN.. but then before i got that att they sent me letter that my application was incomplete and they were asking for my tor and the rle and also the clinical rotation, class sched.. but then my school sent all the requirements that i requested and gave me the tracking number.. so i called the BRN to clarify that issue and the operator transfer me with my evaluator and tell her my concerns, she pulled my app file and verify it and then she found out that my credentials were there already and she approved my application.. 1now that i got my att its time for me to focus on the exam itself.. so im very excited and nevous at the same time...... good luck to everybody.. long live nurses!!!! |

| Posted over 1 year ago Hi, Im still on the process of "self-reviewing" before enrolling myself to a review center (soon)... but is it possible or can i just send my requirements for evaluation and schedule my exam whenever im ready, like 6months later after BON's approval? I just want to make sure all my requirements needed are enough... |
