I am a newbie here so I hope someone would welcome me with their warm knowledge about my dillema.
I studied and finished BSN abroad. and NO I AM NOT A BOARD PASSER. I am located in LA, California now. I want to challenge the NCLEX-PN exam while working on my paperworks for NCLEX-RN. I know it'll take time to pass the NCLEX-RN because waiting on the eligibility letter takes me forever. I want to be a licensed holder of anything(that is related to my course) so finding job will not be that pain in the buttt. Can anyone point me and tell me where should I start so I could take or challenge the NCLEX-PN exam? Challenging CNA exam was my first choice but someone in this forum advise me to take NCLEX-PN (LVN/LPN) instead. So I'm taking his advise. He didnt reply again so I thought posting another question would be helpful than waiting on his reply.
Please tell me where to start. I am planning to call the BRN regarding this but I want to do my own research first.
What are the papers I'm going to need to challenge the NCLEX-PN exam?
Is being an LPN/LVN is better that being a CNA?
I'm a BSN so do I need to take classes or training still?
How to apply for the exam and the requirements..I'm also planning to take the NCLEX-RN but I any to take the LPN exam first since I think the application is easier.
Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.
Just go to the state Board of Nursing and apply for license by exam. it should state requirements and what you need to do. Application is the same generally
hi people. please help, need an advice. I'm a graduate of bsn in philippines. I want to take the LPN exam, what do I need to do? and what are the requirement? thank you guys. god bless :)
Can I process both the RN and LVN licensure by examination at the same time? I currently live in California. Do you guys think its possible? I had one person tell me I can't do that but I don't think there would be any problem processing those at the same time. Please help! Thank you.
Got a reply from them, they sent me the form again to be filled out by the school. they said that my school failed to include maternity nursing clinical hours. so, filled out the top part of form, and sent it to my school. right now waiting for my school to fill it out and mail to the board... my school tho said that they filled out everything. anyone has the same situation?
also, i did not take the rn licensure in the philippines. does it matter? the yellow/orange form is asking for a type of certificate? is it referring for the licensure? should i just leave it blank, or what should i put in there? i don't think it's referring of the diploma, since it was submitted together with the application.

It is possible for you to work under a limited permit while you are waiting to take your NCLEX. I know a lot of foreign nurses who have done this.
