August 2014: Received a letter asking for additional papers:
1. Complete record of cases (minor major OB) (the 5-5-5)
2. Academic calendar
submitted
I am still waiting for their reply....
To be honest, it is emotionally draining. Frustration is higher than the ceiling. I have read SO MANY comments of others questioning us (international RNs still pursuing CA license) why we are wasting time and money when there is a lot of other states...
for me (and i know others too) heres why:
1. My husband lives works and grew up in CA (in short we cant move. no, we dont want to move)
2. The weather here is great
3. Im a NUrse.
Im a nurse. I will apply NCLEX in CA and try eventhough there have been really discouraging posts i have read and very well understand the risks of being an international graduate. I have also doubts in my application but id rather try than wonder what if all my life... I respect CA NCLEX qualifications. We went here, we adjust to what they want.
All my batchmates (from my school) are RNs here but they already took NCLEX before 2010 concurrency policy.. I graduate 2009 from a top performing school, i have masteral units, i have submitted also my masteral transcript i have written them letters and even school registration forms to prove my enrollment...
Whatever the result may, i have done my best...
So far, while i wait, i do research on LVN route, schools for deficiency classes (in case), read/study when i can and PRAY.
Anyone with the same case as i am is welcome here. PUSO parang GILAS lang mga kabayan.
Im hoping for the best for everybody, foreign or local. applicants.
