I am an internationally trained nurse from the Philippines and I applied for the NCLEX-RN in the State of California.
I received feedback from the CA Board that I have a deficiency in Psychiatric Nursing because I was not able to complete direct patient care hours due to the restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic. We were not allowed to have our clinical rotations.
What are my options? Does/Did anyone else have this challenge?
MY CLASSMATE AND I WENT TO THE SAME SCHOOL IN THE PHILIPPINES. SHE WAS MY CLASSMATE FOR 3 YEARS. WE TOOK ALL THOSE ONLINE CLASSES, THE REQUIREMENTS FROM OUR SCHOOL THAT WE SUBMITTED TO CABRN ARE IDENTICAL. IF YOU NEVER GOT INTO THE SCHOOL IN THE PHILIPPINES, YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. IT'S NOT LIKE THE COLLEGE HERE IN US THAT YOU PICK AND CHOOSE WHAT IS CONVENIENT TO YOU. WE ARE BLOCK SECTION THERE. WHATEVER SHE HAS, I HAVE. EVEN BREAK TIME, WERE THE SAME. SO YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THIS.
🤣🤣🤣 you are in a California nursing forum double check where you are before you make accusations. No, I did not go through nursing school internationally but, I have friends that did and some had issues and some didn't. Some of them went back to the Philippines and got an education there and some of them regretted it. 12 nursing students for one patient, seriously, that's alarming! Some of them graduated without even dc a catheter. Some of them were not able to meet the requirements for a RN license but were able to obtain a LVN license. Maybe you should go that route, you may qualify, again, at least you can work while you get the requirements fixed for the RN license.

I have this problem too, I have completed the psychiatric course in 2015, the school is approved by board and it is not online class, right now they said it does not meet the board's required educational curriculum. So funny
