  1. If you haven't already, i recommend you go to Facebook & follow "California Board of Nursing - Foreign Graduates" Lots of helpful info.
  2. I spoke to a CA BRN evaluator. The board will not accept online courses. Yes you can. I did it.
  3. Yes, I can confirm this because I did it. First you need to ask the school if they are willing to allow foreign educated nurses to take certain classes from their nursing program. Then you need to have the school send to the BRN, the course syllabi a...
  4. Thanks for the sad and ugly truth. I was planning on doing what SoCalNurse88 did, but after 2 years of working as a nurse. That way, I would have both money to spend on the "make-up" course and the experience to get hired. I'm somewhat glad I got my...
  5. I'm a foreign grad currently licensed and working in TX as an RN, but I really want to go back to CA. I originally applied for licensure by examination in CA, but was denied because my clinicals were non-concurrent. The CA BRN informed me that I must...
  6. Thanks for taking the time to explain all that to me steppybay. I guess I've been lazy to look into each state/BON website. I will start doing more research as to which state would be a desirable place for me to settle into. Thanks again!
  7. Any foreign grad nurse with concurrency problems in any of these 13 states (Alabama, Arizona California, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Vermont, Virginia, Washington) try applying in any of the other 37 states...
  8. I'm a BSN grad from the Philippines and am still trying to take the NCLEX since the CA BRN has denied me. I need a job, and since I can't get a position as an RN right away, I was wondering what other jobs I can get with my degree, while waiting to t...

    The BRN want you go to a nursing school. They should have given you a list of approved schools with that letter of denial they sent you. When you go to that school, you need to talk to the Nursing Director and show her you're letter and you're transc...
  10. CA Board of Nursing

    I'm very much upset with the CA BRN. Once they see that it's a foreign grad that's applying for the NCLEX, they pretty much just toss the application without giving them a single chance. They tell us to go find a school that would be willing or able ...
  11. CA Board of Nursing

    I understand how hard it is to take the NCLEX in Cali. I just graduated this year from the Phil, and BRN slapped me with the darn concurrency problem when applying for the exam. Is this how it is with other states? If not, then why not trying to appl...
  12. So You Want To Move To Texas?

    If what you say is true, then I would have no problem settling in the small, mid-sized cities. I just want a job, and unfortunately, I don't think I, or many of us graduates for the matter, have that luxury of choosing.
  13. Yes i understand. I've applied for VT a few weeks ago, but after hearing that they too have the same concurrency issues as CA, I may have to apply to other states, but we'll see. If i get another letter from them stating the same thing the CA BRN sta...
  14. Wow thank you steppybay. That is some unfortunate news to hear. I might try your advice and contact that person. Hopefully though, she really could help me out. I kind of regret going abroad to get my degree. Had I known I would be facing this kind ...
