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:

Hello,

I was wondering if there is anyone here having a problem receiving their ATT?

It has been 2 weeks since I register to pearson vue after receiving my eligibility from BVRNPT but til now I haven't receive any ATT yet.

Any thoughts.

Thank you in advance.

RHi there! Did you get a reply from the school? Did they say the curriculum is concurrent with the requirements of CA BON?

Hi! Did u take your nclex already? How is it? I didn't have any problem with the requirements from lanting...

Was this a recent application or prior to Nov. 2011 in CA?

It doesn't matter if it's 3-3-3 or 5-5-5, as the CHED changed the cases to try to meet the CA BRN, but we've seen the majority even under the "new" curriculum of 3-3-3 (the more recent years) are still being denied. What partly matters is what year you graduated from and that determines the case numbers.

The problem that is causing the 99% declination of the PH applicants is because the cases are either done a week, weeks, month, months, a year or two after the theory courses were taught. It MUST be in the exact same semester, same month, same course time and not under the times mentioned earlier. If it doesn't match up in the right order and in a timely manner, then you're out of compliance and will be stamped "denied".

Yes, we all know that this is virtually impossible, but it's not the CA BRN fault, it's because the CHED decided to overload the student population to above the maximum levels.

Hello fellow nurses,

I was wondering if someone can answer a question I have. I currently have an open application BY EXAMINATION with the BRN CA but I have since passed NCLEX in the state of Oregon for about 4 months now. My application is still in the "send clinical schedules, have school explain this, etc" phase. My school has sent a total of 3 additional queries by the CA BRN.

Now my question is this; Can I convert my application from a "license by examination" to "license by reciprocity?" I was planning on sending my licensing analyst a letter with my Oregon license to support this. I am hoping to avoid paying yet another fee. This has gotten expensive and time consuming.

Has anyone else done this? Also does anyone dissuade even attempting this? I am a IEN from the Philippines. I am also licensed in the Philippines if that makes any difference.

Thank you in advance. :)

You will still have the same issue as CA do their own assessment

Hi thank you for the quick response. I'm not exactly sure what you mean though. Are you saying I cannot convert my application into an endorsement midway approval?

You can ask the BRN but I wouldn't be surprised if they say you have to submit new application and fee because work will already have been done on your current application. be aware that if you think you may have concurrency issues then they will still be a problem.

I think I can re-phrase this. Regardless of whether you continue down the examination route or switch things over to the endorsement route, California is still going to want to see your education (classroom and clinical) transcripts to see if your education meets California requirements. Even if you're an RN elsewhere in the US, California won't endorse your license into the state (won't license you for practice here) if your education doesn't meet California's standards. This does affect people in the US as well. Once you are able to show that you meet California's standards, then California will likely approve the application, whichever route you took.

I hope that made sense.

Yes, I think I will send a letter and ask. Only way to find out... Thanks for your input.
