Philippine Graduate; Ineligible for Ca NCLEX-RN-- Other options??

World Registration

Published

Hey Everyone!

Along with many other foreign-graduated nurses, I was deemed ineligible to take the NCLEX exam for the state of california :( You could only imagine my disappointment and frustration after i opened that letter. I tried looking into applying for Nevada instead but saw a recent post about Nevada having more requirements as well :/ I feel as if i'm not really sure as what I should do. I'll be moving to California in a week, in hopes of looking for a school there that I might be able to enroll in, but I just want if anyone has any other suggestions out there?

I was also looking into taking the LVN exam as well-- has there been anyone in the same situation who applied for the NCLEX-pn exam and got their ATT? If so, please share the process and experience! :)

Also, any suggestions about any other states i could try applying for? Perhaps, for one that isn't as strict? I have this fear that soon enough all the states will be adapting California's attitude with foreign-graduated nurses :/

Congrats on getting your ATT for the LPN exam! :D

Should i inquire for the transfer of my documents and wait for them to be transferred first before filling out my application for the LVN exam? Yes, i think i read that in a different thread, her analyst didnt charge her for it :)

Thank you!Send your application and requirements to the BVN first then call your analyst after a week or 2 if he/she can transfer your documents free of charge,if not,just send a written request and the fee.

But would you have to send in 150$ first? I'm kinda scared to send anymore money :p

Hey guys, i was thinking about challenging the LVN exam, but i am going to try to find a school first that would allow me to enroll for only 2 subjects, I tried SFSU so far, and no luck :( They have like 600-800 applicants and can allow only 80 slots, so they would prioritize students who were enrolling for the whole program. Does anyone know of a school in SFO that would allow you to enroll for only two subjects??

Hi, there:

Read my posting dated Sept. 17 on two schools but they are not in the Nor Cal area.

You will find out about what you found out about SFSU in my Sept. 28 posting. Good luck!

As i read on i feel more and more discouraged that i'll find a school here. Now i really am considering just challenging the LVN exam, then enrolling in an LVN to RN program :/

Hi Belagee12, are you from batch 2012 too? So am I, though my school has yet to send the application. The concurrency issue definitely is discouraging. Would it be okay to get your email? You live in NorCal, maybe we can exchange school information in case. Haha.

Start looking now, there's a 2-3 year plus waiting list and that's among the regular CA students. But there are some schools that do it by lottery now, but one must still pass certain requirements to be considered to be placed on the list.

Some require high to very high GPA's or high pre-testing scores, brush up on basic math and English skills.

Hang in there!

Wait, what? If you're from the 2012 batch, it was thought by other posters here, that the CHED has already adjusted the curriculums to meet the CA BON requirements?

The other posters of 2012 just recently applied into CA, but still awaiting for their answers, hope it's a better news.
