hi everyone!

i just wanna ask some questions with u guys out there.

im a registered nurse in the philippines and soon as i finished and passed the local board exam there,me and my family have to moved here in seattle.

now i dont know what to do in order to be license here.

some said that i should take the nclex and be licensed in california...

and if i passed the california board i can "transfer" my license here in washington.

in this way i dont have to take the CGFNS exam.because the california board doesn't required the CGFNS exam..

is this true???

is this a good way to be license here in washington???

i need ur advice guys!

thanks a lot!

hope u can help me :D

i just got here a year ago. and i applied for Cali NCLEX and they did not approve my application because i dont hold a license and i did not finish my cases. so im planning to apply here in washginton. do they require you to hold a license before they find you eligigble???? and i dont finish my cases. but i graduated at SLU. thanks

Im from washington too!!! Do they have a concurrency issue in wa???

hello guys. i really found your thread very helpful. anyhow i somewhat have the same matter as with you guys. i just came here 2months ago and i took my toefl and passed it an also i had received an email from cgfns that they already received my documents from my university and from prc;however, im clueless on how long it'll take me to receive the verifiation report. while waiting for the verification, i already applied for my nclex thru mail and already took the AIDS thru an EMS program here.. somewhat i've done all the requirements. my concern is the length of the verification process..do you have any idea guys? i also work in an AFH now while reviewing and waiting. i already took a DDD seminar, PRN orientation and Core basic training eventhough i am a licensed RN in the phil. just to be sure i guess. the requirements here in WA are really complicate compare to other states but thank God i am guided thru all of these. anyhow, ireally want to hear from you guys. im the one who posted another thread by the way.. thanks!

Hello guys. I thank God for having sent me to this forum. I hope that this would be a big help for me.I need help with my NCLEX application. I just moved here in California as an immigrant two weeks ago. I originally plan to take the NCLEX RN here in California but it had concurrency issue and it states that theoretical study and clinicals should be taken at the same time. That cases for OB should be taken and completed only during the course of time that the OB concept is being studied. Same is through with MS. my question is do they have the same concurrency issue with the board of nursing there in Washington? I am thinking of transferring there at Washington to have my NCLEX because I really don,t have the chance of taking it here in california. Thank you very much!

I am from SLU too, batch 2011. Are we of the same batch?

To most PH recent grads, here's some update on states like in CA with the concurrency issue as a reason for denial of your application:
