Hi, I graduated from nursing school in the Philippines in 2006. After an alternate career here in the states I'm hoping to take the NCLEX and get my nursing license. It's a complex process and a little overwhelming. Is anyone aware of any posts out there that break down the steps or has done it and can walk me through it?
I was never licensed in the Philippines. I'm in California but would be happy to take my boards for any state that has reciprocity.
the TOR was sent by my school. Although I do have the CGFNS too but Cali BON did not ask for it.
Thanks a lot! This is a big help.. Did they ask for your license in the Philippines? And does it need to be ACTIVE? Coz a representative I talked to from Ca BON said, CGFNS can forward my docs to Cali but they did not specify what kind of service it is. Thank you so much!

They did not require the philippine license and mine has been expired (PH license) for a while even before I applied in Cali for RN license. The TOR and diploma are the ones they need from CGFNS.

Thanks a lot! You are so helpful! Every service CGFNS extends or provides is equivalent to a buck.

Hey! May I know how much did you pay for the endorsement?
Did you pay $750.00? It's quite expensive. There's a big difference if you are an Int'l grad compare to US graduate.

I'm also a graduate and a registered nurse in the Philippines and on the process 0f completing my requirements to CABON. I graduated in 2007 and took NCLEX on 2009 which i did not pass. During that time the process of registering for licensure in CA is pretty simple. Fast forward to late 2011, CA has lift concurrency issue especially for the international graduates. Even if you take and pass your NCLEX in another state endorsing to CA would still be a bit of a process. I started my application mid of last year and until now i'm still waiting for my final requirement from my school. I'm hoping that once it's done and the board have reviewed my deficiency i'll be able to enroll in a school that offers classes for international graduate.
hi guys! I'm relieved to know that I'm not alone in this journey, let me share my timeline with everyone and hope yours too so that we can compare notes and track all our progress. here's my story since early this year my BF really encouraged me to push thru with my nursing career even though i forgot about that dream already but i really got motivated when i realized that nursing is my answer to all of my financial problem, i thought i was a fighter but then im not. i stopped when i didn't pass the NCLEX and new Mexico BON won't accept my reapplication and wants me to go back to nursing school all over again. that honestly discourage me and never look back to become a nurse. SO fast forward i met my boyfriend whos a CRNA who saw a lot of potential in me to become a good nurse, he supports me in any way possible when it comes to my career so come.
3/1 opened CGFNS account and gathered necessary documents needed 3/21 payment submitted $350 3/24 fill out all documents 3/25 documents sent via USPS HS diploma, passport, birth and marriage certificate -sent via website authorization to release information 3/25 email sent to SWU registrar? via MR NACARIO - Request for Academic Records / Transcripts Order # 3020505 4/5 documents sent to CGFNS 4/17 received the following documents to support your application: Transcript - SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY PHINMA
4/18 -Completed my Breeze application for my state of choice which is in CA. and did the payment of $750 not knowing that i should have not applied yet since im not sure yet as to when CGFNS can expedite my paperwork or worst-case scenario in 12 weeks which is around July!
-CGFNS is now ready for review and eligible for expediting but i didn't realize its not for everyone but there are slots available and is limited, told me to check the main menu overview once in a while to get a slot but if not lucky it'll be in 12 weeks!
so right now, i guess i just have to wait and pray for a slot availabilty so i can expedite my paperwork for 10 days and additional $250 or if not itll be available in 12 weeks..
anyone here also applying for CA BON?
