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:

They need it because it's one of the requirements.The one from the RN board are different from the LVN.

You're right. the LVN board requirement is different from Ca BON. That's why i got confused when i asked the Ca BON to send my Transcript to the LVN Board. i didn't imagine that the Record of nursing program that i sent to them will gonna be there own copy.

So after 4 months, i received a letter from LVN board that i am lack of one requirement which is the RECORD OF NURSING PROGRAM, and in addition to the letter, they gave me a copy of Declaration of Nursing Education.

Just this day, my school sent them my Record of Nursing Program. Now, i dunno how long to wait again to receive my eligibility letter.. sigh......

Guess what! The CGFNS just emailed and congratulate me for completing the requirements of my Credentials and they now issued the report to the Florida BON. Good thing is that i don't need to take the English Proficiency exam. :)

The only thing that i need to complete is to fly to Florida for the Live scan/fingerprints to get my eligibility.

Any suggestions on how can i get a fingerprints without flying there from San Diego?

Thanks!

How long did it take for cgfns to reply? Done with my ces report for IL hmmm.. Dunno if cgfns needs my hs diploma lol. They received my OTR from my school but it still says on CGFNS' site that theyre still waiting for my requirements tsk lol

Areesh23,

After you submitted your declaration wait for 4 weeks and call the bvnpt to follow It up. As I remembered they are 2 months delayed to the current month. Be patient and its gonna be fine.

They take forever. I wonder if we were to drive up there they could work on our application on the spot and speed this up.

From a poster named, sasyone.....here is her comment from Feb. 24, 2013:

Hello all, spoke with my friend at the LVN Board. They are SWAMPED with applicants from the RN Board as you can imagine. They didn't get extra people to help them so it is taking 4 months.

Declaration is to be completed by the applicant and not the school. People are sending them to their school and it's getting returned.

The Record of Nursing Program form is not available through the RN Board so when you request your transcripts from the RN Board, that form will NOT come with it. This form asks for different classes then the RN Board asks for. If an evaluator tells you that your school did not list enough hours, that means your director didn't list all your nursing hours and it doesn't qualify you. The Board realizes that your nursing program probably contained more so they are trying to help you to get the form submitted correctly with the correct hours instead of just denying you.

My friend also said to please please realize the LVN Board and the RN Board are two completely separate Boards and require their own forms. She said she's been getting an application page and a letter that says all other documents will be sent from the RN Board. I'm just curious why one would not think they didn't need to complete the Record of Conviction, photo and high school? The livescan she can understand as most don't understand that Boards can't share.

Just so you all know if you are denied by the RN Board or haven't applied there yet:

Application with fee

2 photos

Record of Conviction

Record of Nursing Program form and transcript in the school sealed envelope (the transcript can come from the RN Board but the Record of Nursing Program form is unique to the LVN Board and the RN Board will not have it)

Livescan with the LVN code on it

Copy of your secondary diploma

Don't send regular mail and then call and ask them to go look through 1000 pieces of mail for your mail if you didn't send it certified. It's that same person who has to go looking through all that mail that you are complaining isn't getting your file done.

She also said they are working a lot of overtime and still severly backlogged.

++++++++++++++++

I'm sure with the extra flood of rejected applications from all the PH nurses and grads only adds to the BVNPT undertaking.

Please read the LVN thread. People have posted questions similar to this that have been answered. The thread is also good for those that have supplied what they have done and how they have filled out the forms.
