CA BON requirements

Published

Hi, hoping to hear from people who have same situation. So I recently graduated from my BSN degree in Philippines just this march 2016, was able to pass the PNLE last June 2016 and moved to California a month after I passed the PNLE. I started my RN NCLEX application July and got a response from the BON on September 15 stating that they have reviewed my application and to finish the evaluation I need to provide academic calendar and it has to be sent directly from my school. I have requested that from my school and now I don't know what to expect if I there's a chance that my application will be approve or not, cos they didn't seem to ask further information from my clinical case. So should I be expecting that my application will be accepted? Cos they didn't mention regarding any concurrency issues on my clinical experience. Help me guys I'm so anxious right now I don't know if I should apply to other state or wait until I get a response from BON. :(

Your best bet would be to call your school and make sure they received your request and have sent your curriculum to the BON. If they haven't already sent it, please ask that they send it "return receipt requested" so someone at the BON has to sign for it. Once they've done that, you can check with the BON to make sure they received it. After that, it's hard to say. The California BON is not noted for speed.

Hi, thanks for your comment.

anyways, I have contacted my school already and they have sent that academic calendar that the board of nursing was asking. I don't know if I have a good chance that my application will be accepted cos they mentioned that they have reviewed my application and the academic calendar was not included and need to be provided to complete the evaluation. I know they have been rejecting lots of foreign applicants because of concurrency issues :(.

I don't know where I stand now

thanks again

This. Be prepared to be very patient.

And definitely follow-up with your school about the transcripts, as schools are not usually noted for speed either.

Best of luck.
