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:

Specializes in Intensive Care Unit (Trauma & Cardiac).

@shesanurse? i just want to ask when did the BON asked for your additional requirements? have they seen your tor?

Hi, I have a question since I couldn't contact the BON CA. I'm still waiting for my school to submit the requirements I requested from them to BON here in Cali. I'm wondering if it's okay to submit too my clinical cases, copy of clinical rotation, and academic calendar? Those 3 are not listed in the application for NCLEX though but I've been reading here that BON asks for those too. Thanks!

Hi guys as of September 2016 I'm still waiting for my application. I applied last March and I called the BRN and they told me that I will receive an email next week for their feedback. I applied last March and received a feedback last April asking me for my TOR. Then i received another email last June asking me for academic calendar and cases. I submitted all of those already and now waiting for their evaluation. Hope i will have a good news next week. Please pray for me guys. I really want to take the exam. I'm really anxious.

I graduated in 1995 from Cebu, Philippines. I took my nclex-Ca BRn and passed in 2006. Now I got the chance to claim my license hopefully that I am here in Texas. However, BRN asked me to submit documents like Transcript/School verfication and Live scanning. Now my question is would I be affected by concurrency issues before I can get my license? Please help.

i think those who graduated from new curriculum were the one's affected with concurrency issues.
