Graduate in the Philippines to take NCLEX in California

World Registration

Published

HI, I'd like to ask if someone has the same sitch as me and what they did.

I am a graduate of Manila Doctors College last May 2011.

I'm back here in California. I am a permanent resident (green card holder). I have read on the CA.RR.GOV that I do not need to take the Philippine local boards or the cgfns and the toefl exam to take the NCLEX.

I have already accomplished my livescan and sent in my application and paid 150$.

Now they have sent me a letter requiring me with the following things:

1. Class schedule for the nursing program completed at MDC

2. Transcript for all education and training sent from MDC

3. Enrollment forms during my nursing years

4. Clinical rotation schedule and/or student logbook reflecting dates, instructor's signature and location of clinical training completed

5. Social security card

6. Passport and visa

I have no problem with numbers 2,5 and 6. But my the others I don't know how to get. :( I don't have a copy of my class schedules anymore, and so as my enrollment forms for 4 years. and most importantly, the clinical rotation schedule with dates and instructor's signature. :( HOW WERE YOU GUYS ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THAT? I'm self reviewing for my exam and going to the library everyday, but right now i cant focus because I don't know how to accomplish these things. :(

I REALLY HOPE SOMEONE CAN GIVE ME AN ADVICE ON WHAT'S THE BEST THING TO DO.

Is this true???? Just asking coz I'm here from Cali an immigrant finish my BSN in Phi last 2009 and took my nle and failed. I came here in us last 2011 apply for nclex rn got denied due to cases issues I decided to apply for nclex pn and got eligible and i took my exam last may 2013 and getting good pop up til now.

My question is so once i received my notification letter saying that i passed. BVNPT will ask for my local rn lic in Phi? Even though I explain to them through letter when i filed my application to them??? Thanks.

I'm not licensed in the Philippines but still they issued me my LVN license after I sent the license fee.

Hi..

I'm alexis.. And I just graduate in the Philippines last October 2012.. And I didn't pass the board exam., and now I'm here in San Francisco and I want to take the nclex exam.. Can I take it even I don't have local board??

Did you read all the threads regarding the concurrency issues here in cali?I'm in SAn Francisco too.Yes you may apply to take the NClEX exam whether you're a licensed or not but since you're an international graduate like us here,the board might ask you some documents like clinical rotations and if they find out you're clinical cases were not concurrent with your theories,they might deny your application and ask you to study MS and OB again. Good luck.

hi dragon_lady!

hows your application for NCLEX-RN? which state did you apply?

Hi dragon_lady, i've read all your replies to the queries of our kababayan, i have some question coz im gathering all my reqs.for nclex-pn, do i still have to submit the form nursing experience even if it is blank?

@silverdragon102

hi i just want to ask if cali requires that you need to study first before you can take nclex if your a graduate of foreign country?may i ask if you are in california or in canada if you dont mind. thanks

It's the decision of the BRN-Cali if you still need to study or not but most of the foreign graduates (98%) requires to take their deficiency courses. Like me I'm a foreign graduate and denied by BRN (california) so I enrolled for my deficient courses here in cali. Thank God Im dnoe with my schooling and they already approved my application to take the test.

Congrats! Are you also a recent PH grad? Was this school in Nor Cal or SoCal? Was there a waiting list? Were there other foreign students in the same situation, if so how many?

God luck on passing the NCLEX!

Hi steppybay. I graduated 8 years ago :yes: and tried to continue this career. Im from SoCal but I took my courses in NorCal. I know its very far but I have no choice, It s very hard to find schools nowadays who offer special courses for foreign nurses. And if they have this courses you have to wait for their very very very long waiting list. However some schools have no waiting list but you have to pay a sky-high tuitions. Maybe Im very lucky to enlist to their enrollees. I think we are around 30-40 students taking MedSurg, OB, and Psych. Students are from London, Usbekistan, Canada, Ukraine, Norway, Russia, India and Philippines.
