Hi, just need clarification regarding the application for taking the NCLEX here in Los Angeles, California.
Just to give a quick background of myself, I'm a graduate of Nursing way back 2007 in the Philippines and I have not practiced nursing since then. Now, finally I've decided to pursue Nursing again. My question is, will the Board of Nursing here in California still requires the Academic calendar and copy cases even though I'm already a permanent resident here in the US? To anyone who knows about this please kindly comment and give some tips for me to be qualified in taking the NCLEX asap. I'm all ears! Stay safe everybody
Thank you
JC

I'm not entirely sure what those terms mean, but California wants everything from everyone. I went to school in Texas and was licensed and practicing there. I was born in the USA and have never gone to school anywhere outside of the USA. California still required all of my educational records.
Your length of non-working time since graduation might also be an issue, but I'm not sure about that either.

Your application is governed by the program you graduated from, no matter where or how long ago. I highly doubt your intervening residence in the US will change anything along those lines. You need to contact the Board and verify what they will require from you.
