Who went thru agencies for nclex?

Hi! I want to ask who among here went thru agencies for nclex application? Some agencies are not really helping us, giving us false hopes and taking advantage of us. Me, yes, i did go thru an agency and applied to saipan as my state and up until now, i still have no result for my nclex. Had i known better, i shld hav not gone thru any agency. Advising me that its easier there, especially the licensing and endorsing to other state. I was just very eager to get it all done and paid my agency to do the "processing" for me. Yes, all my fault actually. Here in the philippines, if u dnt have the patience and time to do all the research in the net of how to do this and that, ull go thru an agency or review center that will "process" ur papers. Thats wat i did. And it seems that instead that i moved forward, having gone thru saipan only delayed my agony so much looooooonnnnggggggggerrr. I just wanna share this experience. Maybe someone here shares the same story too.

Thank You.

Saipan is not a state, only a US territory.

If the agency processed your papers for you, chances are that they put their address on the application and may even have your results but are not sharing them with you. Another reason why I always recommend that the nurse do everything on their own, especially with applications.

Sorry that you did not know about this website sooner, it would have saved you much time and grief.

If one is going to work in the US, then there are going to be many forms that are going to need to be filled out during their career, and it is best to get used to it right from the beginning.

Try sending them a fax and asking them to send out your results to you once again, since they cannot give you the results over the phone.

Best of luck to you.

Thank you for your advise. I will be sending them fax and ask them to send the result to me at my address. The agency said it was addressed to her and will call me as soon as she got the result. But it has been 3 months. You are right. I must get used to processing papers alone. Look what happened to me. Thanks a lot.

May I know what agency you went through and how much they charge you for processing? Is that agency for assistance in nclex application alone? Thank you.

I suggest applying for Licensure by Examination on your own. There is absolutely no reason on why you will need assistance or pay someone to do it for you.

Also, unless you plan to actually work in Saipan I would not apply to them either.

my agency is already closed and i am just getting in touch (trying to) with her thru emails. I paid her P15,000 for processing only. It was inclusive of live lecture review and some handouts and dvds. I still shouldered the payment for the exam itself. Its true, u can do it alone. If you need assistance, i think maybe Entralink in makati can assist you. Its not the same agency that i went through though.
