   mpgj83 replied to mpgj83's topic in Registration

   So I spoke with my dean recently. The concurrency issue apparently has been a big agenda topic during their ADPCN meetings of late. I'm not really sure what they're planning to do about it but it seems to foster impassioned debate among their ranks. ...

   mpgj83 replied to mpgj83's topic in New York

   That will be a while, since I'm still in the Philippines haha. But if and when I do, I'll do just that! Thanks! :)

   Ah ok so it means that you are endorsing a US RN license but had foreign education. Thanks, JustBeachyNurse.

5. NO Copy of CLinical CAses- Applying for NCLEX-Cali

   mpgj83 replied to Irah0526's topic in Registration

   I think the documents about your cases are what CA BRN will use to determine if your theory and clinicals are concurrent. I know cases are not necessarily the same as clinicals but that's a different issue. Maybe you can ask your dean to write a let...

   Is this El Camino, California? If so, you should post this in the California section.

8. NCLEX F.A.Q.S 2013 update for PiNOY nurses

   mpgj83 replied to roperlogantierney's topic in Registration

   I was reading through the IL application packet and was off-put because of the note on page 5 saying, "Excelsior College is an unapproved nursing education program in the State of Illinois due to the fact that it does not have concurrent theory and c...

   mpgj83 replied to mpgj83's topic in Registration

   I was under the impression that most Phil grads started being denied if you graduated 2009 or later? When did CA BRN start becoming strict anyway?

    I hope so! Thank you :)

12. Foreign BSN, no work experience. Employable in CA?

    mpgj83 replied to mpgj83's topic in California

    Yeah, I'm aware that even getting that ATT will be very difficult. I guess I'm not anticipating to get my ATT any time soon, much less work as an RN, but I'd really like to start working even as a CNA or any job that will put me in contact with patie...

13. Foreign BSN, no work experience. Employable in CA?

    mpgj83 posted a topic in California

    Let me preface by saying that reading through some of the posts on here about a lot of new local grads and even experienced nurses looking for jobs in CA kind of makes me hesitant and ashamed to ask, but for the sake of just courageously putting myse...

14. Concurrency and Deficiency - What do these entail exactly?

    mpgj83 replied to mpgj83's topic in Registration

    Yeah I've read through those articles and they're pretty depressing for those of us foreign grads with legitimate credentials. About 5 years ago I had a cousin with a Philippine BSN and who had applied for CA licensure by examination, and it took onl...

    I'm a recent Philippine BSN graduate and am looking to apply for NY licensure by examination. The application is still pending and it will be a longgg wait. I'm still in the Philippines, but if I decide to relocate to NY within this year or early nex...
