Hi guys! I am curious as to what are the Illinois Board of Nursing requirements now in admitting or approving NCLEX application for those who just graduated BSN in the Philippines and is a dual-citizen (Filipino-American). I am a 4th yr Nursing Student here in the Philippines and planning to take the local board (NLE).
Does Illinois Board of Nursing have the same strict rules in RLE like California BON does?
How long does it take for Illinois BON to process the application for NCLEX?
Are there any other special requirements?
Do they still need CGFNS exams? TOEFL exams?
Is it better to take NCLEX here in the Philippines after I have passed the local board exam (NLE)? Or am I better off taking it in Illinois?
Should I really have to take the local board?
Which state actually has the fewest requirements of all and not that strict when it comes to approving application for NCLEX?
Your comments/suggestions/response is greatly appreciated.
Thank you. :redpinkhe
