moved to nurse registration forum in World Nursing section.

You are not filing for NCLEX but applying for license by examination. NCLEX is only one step in the process. Please take note that many internationally educated nurses are having difficulty meeting the requirements for licensure in California due to concurrency of theory and clinical. In addition, a valid US social security number is required when submitting your application to CABRN.

I hope you realize that before you send any money and go thru the CA BON process, that the vast majority of recent PH grads and nurses are being denied the ATT due to the concurrency issues, unless you are 101% sure that ALL your clinicals and theory courses were done in the same exact semester, not months or a year or two later.

Please read the frustrations and disappointments faced by so many international students. There are also 12 other States besides CA that are enforcing this 25 year ruling.

Did you mean all your classmates passed thru either CO or TX to meet the NCLEX requirements, if so, both of those States are not part of the 13 States that are enforcing the concurrency issue.

Applying into CA or the other 12 states is a different set of rules with regards to the concurrency issue.

But if you're saying your classmates passed thru CA or any of the other 12 affected States, it sounds like your school has been meeting all the minimum requirements of CA assuming that's what you mean by a classmate has all passed the requirements to get their ATT, finally a success story.

You guys must be of the 2012 graduation batch?

But in your case, where do you really want to work/practice your RN license in CA or CO or ?

If CO is the real state to work, then, there's no use trying to pass and get your license in CA then endorse-transfer back into CO or any other State, as you still must pass that desired State licensing requirements in the first place. Doing this only means you also need to pay the different state's fee again and having the exact same testing requirements done anyways per that State's BON.

So if you're filing into CA to stay and work in CA then, go for it, if your classmates got thru the CA BON or the other 12 State's BON.

Don't forget CGFNS do more than just an exam and for most states all they require is a CES report which is a breakdown on your training

Wow!! Congrats!!

What college did all guys graduate from?!! You guys are the absolute most successful PH grads and also coming from the 2009 batch!! There are batches from 2005 and to present, not able to get their ATT.

I don't think there's been one, okay, "maybe" two posters here who either passed the CA BON requirements or their friend has.

May I ask what school again as I know there will be thousands very interested as maybe some of them are also from that same school!! If I don't ask, I know many will :woot:

the question is when did your friends filed for allpication in California?is it prior to the reenforcement of the concurrency issue?you better be sure kabayan because application fee is non refundable.

If you read some of the previous posts here many who got denied says that some of their classmates got approved but them are not even if they attended the same clinical duty during their college days.

No, if you pass the NCLEX, the results are good for any State, the question is whether, the results will be accepted into the State you really want to endorse it over to, meaning do you meet their BON's requirements.

Again, it boils to down to where exactly do you want to work in? Forget about the CGFNS, forget about ITOEL and forget all the various alphabet testings and forget any other English testing, and forget course evaluations, etc. T

The bottom line is this: ff you want to stay and settle in CO, then, whatever the CO BON requires, it is what it is and if they want certain alphabet testings, then, getting a CA license means nothing to any other State's BON, until your transcripts can pass that particular desired State's requirements, will be able to successfully get the license endorsement so needed to start looking for a job and working.

I am confused on how your friend got his ATT from CA, but able to take the NCLEX in TX, without passing the TX requirements? :dummy: I hope he passed :woot:

Maybe someone can help me out in understanding this scenario? Maybe I'm confusing myself? Help!
