CA BRN New Requirements For NCLEX RN international students

World Registration

Published

I had already registered online in Pearson Vue but I think I'm not yet eligible to take the test. Is there an expiration date for my registration at PV?

I received a letter from CA BON requesting for new requirements such as:

  1. SS number
  2. Local license in the Philippines
  3. Copy of ur clinical rotation schedule for your cases: Assisted/Actual deliveries, cord dressing, and major/minor surgeries
  4. A complete school curriculum hundred pages or more sent directly from ur nursing school to the board. (the board doesn't accept the condensed version of the curriculum
  5. A one-page curriculum outline and academic calendar.

Fortunately, I had the first 2 requirements but I am worried that the last 3 will take time to be accomplished.

I am wondering if it's just me who have this requirement. Most of NCLEX passers I know weren't required on those listed above. It's really hard to focus on review while your thinking of this :uhoh3:

@retetestis..i mailed my declaration of nursing education and record of nursing program to the BVN july 9, i phoned them a week after, and the BVN evaluator told me that it takes 6-8 weeks for them to response...so, its been a month now haven't receive any mail from them, yet i hope that it is my ATT that i would receive this time..

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

if i'll take the test to other states, what are the procedures?

do i have to take the cgfns exam? can i take the cgfns prior to passing the english exam.

Each state has their own requirements so best check out each BON website. CGFNS exam is only required by a small handful of states at the moment. Generally if English is required then it must be submitted asap and eligibility will not be given without it

i'm planning to apply in florida too, do they need english language test?? btw, im in CA but I guess i'll be denied because of my clinical cases..

Hi everybody,

The last time I posted here was 2 months ago because after sending and waited (for 3 weeks) my re application and didn't receive any mail from BON I started to search and came across this thread. Upon reading I became worried, I even tried asking some of the members here for help. So my family just moved here in CA, and last week I decided to call BON to ask the status of my application and to my surprised that they told me " it was sent out last May 15" .. I asked them if they can send a copy to my new address but they told me to pay $30 just for the copy so I told them that I'll just register directly @ PEARSONVUE.

2 days after that conversation I can't stop thinking "what if I paid PEARSON then found out that I'm not eligible?" So to have a peace of mind I called them again and thank GOD the operator was so nice and told me that she will just print and send it out. And now it's official.. I just got the copy of my eligibility :yeah:

I just want to share this to all of you my fellow Kababayans and wish everybody Goodluck and God Bless for whatever solutions you guys have esp for those who's application s denied by the BON.

Help me, it did. I offer thee my gratitude. =)

Very nice, was this for the NCLEX-RN or for the LVN exam? Best wishes in either testings!

we have same dilemma areesh23. im working out my docs for florida.

english test is not required.

Specializes in ER.

I didnt read the whole entire responses in this thread. But I'm thinking that you could've completed the requirements of the BON before applying for examination at PEARSONVUE.
