how many cases do we need to send them?? iis it 5 cases for minor then major also 5 and the rest??

It is not how many cases performed but the timing of the cases in relation to your theory. For example if you did your surgical rotation during your OB class the clinical don't count.

This issue has been a hot topic in the US for years, many times student pass clinical but fail theory. Since the board requirement is that the theory and clinical need to be taken at the same time the student has to repeat the theory and clinical.

At some point if this trend continues of the state board making foreign graduates accountable for same educational standards, they will look at the qualifications of the clinical instructor, the numbers of students assigned to the clinical group, and that the student is assigned one or two patients ( not shared with another student).

Last going to another state and planning to endorse may not work since your education will be re evaluated.

Hi! I just got a letter from CA-BRN today telling me that i did not meet their minimum requirement for med-surg and OB nursing. I already passed the local nursing exam..I'm frustrated because some of my classmates have just breezed through their NCLEX application.What should i do?Everything that they asked from me and my school have already been submitted.

@daffodilove: that was frustrating to hear...I feel for you... It's really hard now applying nclex in CA.:( if u don't mind me asking what school did you graduated? tnx and good luck.

If you're from PH, not an immigrant, forget applying to CA. You're wasting your time. Better to just stay in the PH.

But a lot of them are green card holders. How can you just suggest they stay in the Philippines? This should be a lesson learned that if you're already a green card holder then just obtain your nursing degree in the US in order to avoid the long, stressful, justified, time consuming process.
