got it! Thank you so much...so nice of you!

I just graduated last MArch.. I took last board exam here in the Phil but unfortunately i failed. But it's all right. I will retake this coming december. I'm planning to take NCLEx after passing NLE this december.. ;) That' why im planning to start my application as early as now because they say processing will take several months...so I can take it anytime after my december board exam... Thank you so much, Kuya Lawrence. =)

Not necessarily. You need to ge the CVS done first for NY. Since you took the exam and did not pass it, you must include that. It is up to NY to decide whether to permit you to sit for the exam. And since you took the exam, more than likely you are going to need proof of passing for them to issue you permission to sit for the exam. And the processing will take months after they get written verification of passing from the PRC.

Just more reasons why not to even bother with the exam in the first place, if you are definitely not going to be working there. US does not require the local license for immigration, though there are many agencies in Manila that tell you that you do. But they are also the same that will tell you that every state requires the CGFNS exam. Too bad they have not updated their information in years.

Wow, thank you so much Ate Suzanne... you're so nice.. God bless you...

Hi again, is it true that New York requires CGFNS exam. Do you know what states doesn't require CGFNS aside from California? Thank you so much in advance :)

Does it mean that I can take CGFNS without taking local exam here in Philippines? Thank you...=)

HI! I just need your advice. please? I didn't pass the Nursing Licensure Exam here in the Philippines last June 2006. i'll retake the test this coming december. My friends adviced me to start processing my application for NCLEX exam in Cali or New York because it will take 6 months before the release of my ATT (Approval to take Test). Ive already downloaded the application form but im still looking for an agency who can assist me processing my application or do u think it's better if i'll do it on my own. i have already the fingerprinting card and application form anyway?? and do you know where can I find the best NCLEX review center here in the Philippines? which is better? Pass an application to take NCLEX and Enroll in a review center like Kaplan..or find an agency that will help you process your application and that will also give review classes? please help me..

Thank you in advance! God bless you all!

My advice to you keira is to process all your exam fees on your own... if you can afford to pay the exam fees personally do it... don't get yourself tied-up in any agency because you'll be tied in a 3-4 years contract with them... if I were you... pass your local board first then worry about the other exams... one step at a time gurl! don't be too hasty..

You can't take the CGFNS without passing the local board because application of this exam needs verification from your local licensure office... in short PRC... stating that you are indeed a RN here in the Philippines not just a graduate of BSN. You will be required to pass an application form to PRC from CGFNS which you can download @ their website www.cgfns.org and PRC in return will mail it to CGFNS.

how about NCLEX? Can I start processing my application for NCLEX exam without the result of local EXam yet? My friends adviced me to start as early as now since processong will take several months...thanks =)

Yes... you can start processing your NCLEX application because it would take several months before you can get an elegibility from the state BON. You are not also required to be a RN in your country, just make sure that you are a graduate of BSN (hahaha!:devil:) if you decide to take the NCLEX exam first.
