You can then endorse the license to California if you meet CA-BON requirements (they issue the license if you go to the office on the same day).

are you currently working in Vermont? I just want to say your post really helps people like us. I already pass my NCLEX in Vermont and Im confused right now. Do I have to do something else or they will just send the license here in the Philippines? Thank you and more power!!

hi! i was just wondering because i want to aplly for licensure in vermont and i have seen the application form. It says there on page 3:
I have practiced nursing as defined in 26 V.S.A. § 1576, for at least (check the appropriate statement):
120 days (960 hours) in the last 5 years or 50 days (400 hours) in the last 2 years
is it talking about working experience in my country? (since im from the philippines)
do I have to have a working experience before i can apply for an application for licensure in vermont?
im really confused.. please can somebody answer my questions. It would be big help for me.. Good day and thank you in advance!

thanks for the reply.. so you have applied in vermont, is it true that the processing time in vermont is much faster than cali? im also considering an application in cali.. i really cant decide.. in the apllication form in vermont, theres a part where you have to place your license number.. i still havent register in prc, my schedule will be on the last day of oct.. do i have to wait for the registration before i can apply? thank you for the reply..

if you passed the nclex on a particular state then you will be licensed to practice there.. how many years does the license last before it has to be renewed? do you have to take the nclex again in order to renew the license? a reply would be deeply appreciated.. thanks!

Be prepared for a long process to move to the US, look at a few years, you are affected by retrogression. Have you checked out the International forum, there are threads there which will be of interest



Can we ask that you don't use capitals as classed as shouting but also had to read

thank you atlas18!! actually i havent pass my application to vermont because im still waiting for my license. i havent register here in the philippines and i think it would also take months before i can get my license card.. it is a reqiurement in vt application to pass a photocopy of the current license, so i still have to wait..=( but i really would like to work in vt so i hope we could be co workers in the future. thank you again and all the best in your career!!^____^
