I just want to give back to the allnurses community by posting my USRN experience in this thread. I just moved to the US last year and tried to apply to CA BON but unfortunately, they want me to take MedSurg and OB again. BTW, I am IEN from the Philippines. I tried to look for schools but unfortunately again, they can't get me into classes in one semester and I am not a priority student/regular student. So I decided to apply to the BVNPT and TX BON late last year for the meantime while Im waiting on a school to take me in. I submitted my declaration of nsg last February 2nd week and still no news from them until now. I passed my NCLEX for TX last May 9 and just landed on a job in the hospital here in TX and still no news from the BVNPT. I encourage everyone (esp my kababayans) to explore your options. CA isnt the only state and USA is a huge country.
Books I used:
Saunders, Lipincott Manuals of Nsg Practice, KAplan QA
online review from ncsbn
tips:
practice critical thinking ( no need to memorize everything)
study hard pray harder
think positive
be healthy, laugh
if you have questions about the app process or anything, feel free to message me.id be happy to share my experiences with you!
Hi! I will be taking my NCLEX this December (Thanks to New York BON) and I just want to know if TX BON would honor my license verification from CVS-CGFNS since I am also an IERN and once I decide to endorse my NY-RN license from NY to TX. I am a TX resident btw so I would be most likely practice here.

GN programs are only offered on a certain time of the year like some only start their first batch of GN program on January and the second batch would be June. There are a lot of hospitals who offer GN programs around Houston area. Some of them require fees though. My hospital is about to start this February. Usually if they are interested on your application, they will call you or send you an email.
