hi guys!
i am also having a problem regarding this newly implemented rule of the ca bon..i am a filipino and an immigrant here in ca...my nclex-rn application date was on december 2007 and last month i received a letter that they need a copy of my license (fyi:i didnt take the nle) ..so i sent dem my letter of explanation which was basically about my no intention to work there (cos i thot they'd still accept this)..and i just called dem recently cos i recently found out dat theyre requiring a local license and they said that they're still reviewing my letter..nd right now m praying hard that deyll grant my eligibility.. and to be fair i hope that they'll grant it beacuse my application date was on december '07 and dey implemented dis rule just january '08 and ca bon haven't even disseminated the info that they're really seriously requiring it and their website hasn't been updated.and also all my other batchmates who hasnt taken the nle have already passed nclex.
sorry for the long msg..my point is that they should have informed the applicants earlier about this and should have set a deadline of applicants and not just suddenly implementing it.right?
but again i hope deyl grant my eligiblity cos because of this im so anxious that i dont have the drive anymore to study.. im really worried..
(fyi:i really dont have d intention to work there cos my family has migrated here in ca)

hey there..i applied dec. 07 and i called them up and ask them about the letter and he said that i need to resend the letter again..so thats what i did.they replied back with the another letter saying that i need to contact PRC in Pi and ask them if they could send a letter to CA bon explaining that im exempted on nle...so thats what i did, but PRC told me that the only exception in not taking the NLE is when u are foreign nationale..since im just an immigrant here and not a US citizen yet..they said that im not exempted...i am really frustrated about this..but hey theres a lot of ways...dont give up.if they said that they are reviewing your letter then just wait..or start applying for CES already..and apply to a state which doesnt require license like hawaii,new mexico and nevada...they only require CES...yes im upset regarding my ca application but reality is reality they can change their requirement any time and pretty much other states will be doin it soon...so act now..dont just wait..

There was talk and someone posted on here approx Nov time that there was talk of Ca fetching this rule in. Even if you go to another state for licensure if the plan is to work in Ca they may still insist on it when endorsing your license

[Silverdragon102]

BON/BRN are entitled to demand local license and expect to see more and more states do it. There are not many countries now that do not require a local license as part of their requirements

thnx chet! wooohh dont know wat to do!!!! waaaah!! help!!

[dave787]

that would be a good step for CALIFORNIA BON to require license from country of education. actually theres no reason for anyone not to take the license exam even if you dot want to practise it.

[tina.tyna]

yes it is a good step dave..but i decided not to take it to stay away from the issues of the phil. nursing nle..the leakage and everything.. it really made such a big impact on the quality of nursing profession in the phils..

okay fine...if they are requesting for the local license, thats just right but my question is what if you have a license and then when you applied for work in the u.s. (taking note that you have passed nclex already) but your local license is already expired, will cali BON still tell you to renew your license?

Good day!

I'm a BSN graduate of 2008 and recently took the nursing licensure examination here in the Philippines. I already have a U.S. visa (my family are U.S. immigrants already and we just filed for a 2-year reentry visa just so my siblings and I can finish our studies here) Anyhow, I would like to ask if I can apply and take the NCLEX here in the Philippines, my reentry visa expires next year, and I have to go back to the U.S. by September or October. Will that give me enough time to take the test?

And yes, how do I file for NCLEX?

Thank you so much.
