CA BRN New Requirements For NCLEX RN international students

[brooklyn03]

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

But completed cases before graduation doesn't mean they're concurrent though.We're the same. I think areesh23 too. We need to keep in touch with each other to know what happens to 2012 graduates! Haha. I already sent my application 2 weeks ago to know where I'm going to stand.

Hello. We're the same. Didnt take the local board and im already here in california. Do they require us to take it?

Just asking, um, does any one ever ask the BRN what is their minimum requirements?

Beside the concurrency issue, because I just happen to think every nursing student has concurrent theory and clinicals, because as I understand since we take simultaneously the subjects (MS, OB, Pedia, Psych etc..) per semester it is difficult to do clinicals focus on the theory that has been discussed, meaning it is slim to impossible to encounter patient that has uterine prolapse if that is your topic in OB, so if that will be their basis I think no one can comply with that!

Again, since we get the subjects simultaneously per semester, it will come to a point that you will have duty particularly concurrent on the subject itself not to the topic (e.g. OR on the first week then maternity ward on the second week, and so on..)

So, if they requiring hours of duties, units acquired from the course, or prerequisite subjects I think we are more than or over qualified on that requirement.

Going back, what is the reason their requiring us the cases not the CLINICAL ROTATION SCHEDULE itself since that would give them a general picture of our hands on practice. So, does that mean that they only basing our clinicals on that particular requirement?

What happen to the duties that we don't get any case? Does that mean they assume that we don't learn anything from that?

How about our ward duties e.g. Medical ward I think it can fall to our Medical Surgical credentials, obviously we don't get any case with that, does that not count?

Just asking, no hate pls! Peace!

Has anyone been denied in other states? Specifically, illinois,texas or nevada? :-?

Hi everyone and silverdragon! Quick question. getting confused with the ces report from cgfns. I got denied from CA and have plans in applying for nclex in illinois. Illinois requires ces reports right? So after i purchase my ces order:A) are they going to give me application forms that needs to be filled up by my school and prc? Or cgfns will be the one to send it to the agencies/school for verification?B) if they give me the forms, can i ask a relative from the phillipines to go directly to prc and my school for the process to be faster. Once the forms are completed, prc and my university should send the forms back to cgfns right? Lastly,C) cgfns is a different agency right? Once the evaluation is completed, Will it be cgfns who gives the GO signal for releasing ATTs?Thank you very much! Hoping for your response. :)

Only for CVS do CGFNS send out any requests otherise you have to send forms to relevant places and pay any relevant fees. Also required by IL to be registered where you did your training. CGFNS will send report to IL BON and they will assess your application and decide it eligible to sit NCELX and then you register with pearsonvue who will issue ATT once BON says OK to them

Btw, CSU-FRESNO's filling empty slots for graduates who got denied in cali. They need 30 students for the program to be properly evaluated and hopefully push through. Call them and have your name signed! Who knows, it'll push through and answer all our deficiency problems! :) keep the faith alive guys! We can all get through this drama! :)

[angelajason]

Hi guys! Can I ask how much do you spend in processing the whole Ca NCLEX-RN? Thank you!

Good news!

Do you know what they are asking for tuition, fees, etc?

Hoping it's cheaper than the $7,000 up fron tuition fee and the cost of the books and supplies ($1,000 extra) of what the other two So CA schools are asking. I think some schools also charge like several $100's per unit, on top of the international tuition fees (applies also to any nonresident and out of state students). Then the potential cost to attend is like closer to $10,000 plus add in the housing cost and any need for a car.

I've heard that many CA schools are looking for international and out of state students to help with the budget cutbacks with the higher cost for enrollment, which helps the locals out too, by charging the much more expensive schooling fees.

30 foreign students times say $7,000 is $210,000 then add in the extra unit costs probably equals close to or over $250,000 to that school's badly needed budget.

[Kuyafern]

Yeah there are about 20 signed up for the program for this 2013 of May. If the number students will be a little be a bit more than 30 students then it will pull through by this may 2013. But if it won't get up to 30 by April then it will be postponed by May 2014. But I'm pretty sure it will open by this 2013. If you guys are interested please contact the Chair, school of nursing at CSU Fresno. Or you can PM me and I will give you her contact number.

The program will cover OB and Critical care Nursing(MS) and both classes will have didactics and clinical with skills lab. Im really positive it will pull through this summer because the number of applicants is in the 20's. If you are far away, let's say from Socal, you can get a hold of others who are willing to take the program and rent a room with a couple of people. I've spoken to a few who were interested in rooming with their friends.

I got denied coz i dont have a local license. Im an american citizen. Isnt that reason good enough?help!

[Kuyafern]

Yeah since a local license is a requirement in some states it's really important. Being an american citizen is a plus but it won't help you out all the way if you can't provide the needed requirements for a state. Some states see a person with a license from where they were trained as a way to see that the nurse applying is competent enough to practice in the country they were trained.
