CA BRN New Requirements For NCLEX RN international students

[brooklyn03]

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

Oh, my goodness! Yah! I always expect a slim to impossible chance to slip thru their evaluation, but I think there is one I know that had given an ATT (killerbee) was the only CHOSEN one to have received the most coveted letter (among us).

Though, If I only knew these changes before, probably I won't be testing my luck and proceed to other states that still accepting foreign graduates. But I guess this is just a playful hand of faith!

So do you plan to continue studying??

are your cases concurrent?

Just got mine too. We should all just email each other for those of us going back to school! At least we wouldn't be alone/would be classmates, haha.

I myself has confusion with that policy, when I review my clinical rotation i think my rotation and theory is concurrent because when we have MCN lectures i have an lying in clinic and delivery room rotation, also, when we have MS I have a duty in OR though the problem is since we need 555 case i haven't completed my OB case on the time that lectures were given meaning I still has rotation on delivery room 4th yr 2nd semester to complete mycase which on that time we are on NCM 105 and lectures are comprises of ethicolegal, management. But, i dont have high hopes that I may qualified on the requirement!

still, im waiting for their response after my school submtted all the additional requirement, it has been 3 months though

I made a follow up for my application, (I just hope that I did it much sooner) and guess what that licensing analyst told me, they haven't received my clinical cases. What a bummer ! Now, I'm like back to square 1. These 3 months of waiting was just futile and vain.

whatttttt omg man that sucks!

[killerbee]

This happened to me the first time I applied for the exam I waited 5 months for their reply. That is why I suggest to follow it up immediately after. I have a friend who's paper got lost too she waited for a year, she could have avoided the concurrency issue.

[nomad29]

I know, But back then something holding me back about making a call as I was like thinking that the analyst will just deny me! (I know thats the most silly thing to think) I already assume something bad will happen, but needless to say, I should make a follow up as soon as they received my requirements! Thats a hard way of learning a lesson!

And it adds pain by thinking how SLOW my school process/ release their documents!

Hi! I didnt take the local board. But im an american citizen. That's the only reason i can give. Has anyone here been denied because you didnt take the board aside from that concurrency issue? Thankyou so much!:)
