CA BRN New Requirements For NCLEX RN international students

World Registration

Published

I had already registered online in Pearson Vue but I think I'm not yet eligible to take the test. Is there an expiration date for my registration at PV?

I received a letter from CA BON requesting for new requirements such as:

  1. SS number
  2. Local license in the Philippines
  3. Copy of ur clinical rotation schedule for your cases: Assisted/Actual deliveries, cord dressing, and major/minor surgeries
  4. A complete school curriculum hundred pages or more sent directly from ur nursing school to the board. (the board doesn't accept the condensed version of the curriculum
  5. A one-page curriculum outline and academic calendar.

Fortunately, I had the first 2 requirements but I am worried that the last 3 will take time to be accomplished.

I am wondering if it's just me who have this requirement. Most of NCLEX passers I know weren't required on those listed above. It's really hard to focus on review while your thinking of this :uhoh3:

Both of your OB and MS CASES Are from 3rd yr? Did u mislead this? Thanks

I believe this what you are saying fim1234. The analyst is basing our theory and clinical rotation according to what the CHED is implementing. So it means that if you did not get your ob cases during ncm101, you're automatically not eligible? Pls correct me if I'm wrong. But why are they basing it in our cases?

sorry for misinformation. so i checked my transcript and cases again.

i graduated year 2011.

NCM 101: OB during 3rd year 1st semester = june - august 2009 ---- all my ob cases is august 2009

NCM 102-103: MS during 3rd year 2nd semester = november - march 2009-10 --- all my MS cases is January, February, April

* since my school has summer classes i got some cases in summer -april

@retetestis i think thats the reason of cali BRN for declining applicants. in short they dont allow completion of cases.

I got my ob cases during my ncm 104 and 105 and MS cases during ncm 105. crap!

@fim1234, how about your clinical rotation schedule. Did you had your rotation to DR only during your ncm101?

So what they really mean is our theory or class must be concurrent with our cases NOT our clinical rotation because we have different ward/area during one semester!??

Goodluck with that. I think the real issue here is concurrency of lectures and cases. I'm not sure if wards are also checked.

@FIRM - After you submitted your cases to the BRN, did they still ask for your logbook and clinical rotation schedules, etc? or were you good to go?

Thank you firm.

They asked for curriculum and academic schedule together with the cases. And after I and my school submitted that I got my eligibility.

I applied early 2011 and had same set of requirements. I however did not mail them my cases on OR, DR and nursery. My school mailed them my student diary or logbook or box chart of duty dates when I had my duty, it had my signature and my instructor's signature on. I also mailed them my summary or RLE. Our school also mailed them a school catalogue and a the nursing curriculum (100+ pages). Oh and my class sched from 1st - 4th year. Yes the whole she-bang. So let's hope your respective schools kept you registration forms and schedule forms.

I got my ATT a month after that.

It's not about the 4 years of study that makes it frustrating.

It's the hassle and long process of application, and the 300$+

we've spent for nothing which is really upsetting.

I haven't got my letter yet. but hopefully It will turn out to be a good one.

if not, well, I'll be REALLY REALLY UPSET (*esp since I have been reviewing for months!)

but I'll just move on.

California isn't the only place on earth you can work as a professional nurse. :o
