Denied by CABON now to take LVN..

World Registration

Published

Can anyone help me here, I'm planning to take the LVN exam because I just got denied by CABON because of the concurrency issue..I just want to know:

Method #3 - Equivalent Education and/or Experience(the PHARMACOLOGY course)Do I need to submit it also? and how? or I just need to submit only the

Method #2 - Graduates of an Out-of-State School of Practical/Vocational Nursing.

BTW, I'm an international graduate, Registered Nurse from the Philippines but I can't sit for the NCLEX-RN exam that is why I decided to take this one. Hope someone can answer my question thank you.

I've sent it back on june 15.

thanks and you brought up that question too..:thankya:honestly Im also confuse about the LVN application..between method 2 and 3,what is really the difference..but I think kabayan if you fill up method 3 you really need to fill up those 2 forms also because they are part of it..and kabayan why not fill up method 2?

and yes school need to send it to u in a sealed envelope..and us will send them all the forms that they need..:specs:

I have no idea what are the differences because i havent take PN before.I guess RN is more complicated than PN and they have different scope of practice.

BTW,thanks Duke09:)

I haven't taken either, but I did post up the same question on other threads and in gathering some research, I asked about the PH NLE exam, NCLEX-PN and NCLEX-RN to those and from those who actually have the testing experience.

While it's always an individual thing, it seems the our NLE is easier than the NCLEX-RN, with the NCLEX-PN actually harder questions than the two previous exams.

The reason the PN exam is tougher than the RN exam is that the PN testing involves more critical thinking.

Remember also that any RN can delegate certain tasks to an LVN/LPN or CNA, so as an LVN one cannot overstep their boundaries. So in essence to some degree, an RN can tell you what you must do or should do if that's what you're really responsible for and you cannot tell the RN what to do.

This RN could even be a brand new grad or an experienced nurse, it doesn't matter, LVN's are one step below an RN's expected duties, but he or she do have the authority over an LVN.

Dragon lady, When are you planning to take your nclex-pn ? Did you still enroll at the review center? Would you advice us to take the nclex-pn to those who has problems with their application on nclex-rn ? (concurrency issue)Thanks! :)________Hygeia'10

ok so heres what I did for my application for LVN exam..

1)I just submitted to my school the Record of Nursing Program form that they need to fill up..and requested for a TOR and RLE too..

2)live scan again

3)unlike with Nclex-RN all the documents will need to be submitted at the same time together..application form,$150 check,live scan and the sealed envelope from our school..thats what in their website..)You must submit the sealed business envelope containing the Record of Nursing Program and official transcripts with your

application for licensure. ;;)

[COLOR=#454545]hi kayakoto. how did you request for the TOR and RLE? do they have request forms or just the Reocord of nursing program form and school will immediately know you requested for TOR and RLE?

Steppybay,So its like a chain of command and the nurse is on the top. :) if theres a lot under the nurse like the assistant and the lvn/lpn what else would the rn do here? No offense to the nurses here , but in the PHI, the nurses are all around you can see them all over the medical facility doing everything specially in the govt. The CaBON should give us hard working and competent nurse a chance to take that exam ! And they will see how dedicated and compassionate PHI NURSES in our field! Feel sad still.. :(

Hello,

I Only sent Record of Nursing program to my school and I asked the BRN to transfer my school documents to the BVN.As for the Live scan,download the form on the bvnpt website and bring it to a live scan store or in UPS store.Then send it with your application,if you have your record of nursing program,much better,your $150 fee money order or check,record of conviction form which you can find on the website,high school and college diploma.

Good luck and God bless us.

It's like someone else mentioned in another thread in another part of this site. Think of it as the RN is the officer in charge and LVN's are the enlisted soldiers. LVN's don't always see the whole picture but are required to listen and obey the commands of the RN. Yes, the RN is the boss of you.

As such, the RN's are held to a higher standard and have more responsibility and can stand to lose their license if found they have not performed properly of their duties, including possibly if an LVN messes up in her job duties. You can't compare with what we do or did in the PH to the States, we're in a different set of priorities with different set of rules and regulations.

Basically, how it mentioned to me was the CNA's and LVN's do the basic "grunt" work and I don't mean that in a degrading way, it is what it is.

RN's are more involved with things that doctors used to do in some respects, so that it frees up their time with other patients, but not a lot, okay, so that others don't try to become doctor's. Most RN's don't need or required to change beds or clean up after a patient's bedside stuff, but there's a lot more.

But really, it's best to read up on what LVN's can do and what they can't do in CA, as it can be different in other states. I think in CA, LVN's are more restricted to what they can versus other states.
