hi everyone. in a newbie here. so please welcome me. thanks.
anyways, i am a Filipina who just graduated this April from a Nursing school in the Philippines and came to Houston just this June after taking the local Nursing Licensure Exam. and i am wondering if there are kind hearted nurses (Filipinos, or not) in Houston who are nice enough to help me and give me information about the process of getting a license in Texas, or recommend someone who could help. it's still early there's still a lot of time, i know, but while waiting for the results of the June board exam, i want to find as much information as i can, so that it would be easier when time comes that i will apply for the state board.
well, thanks for reading this. and i hope that you would help me. i'll be waiting for your reply. and it would be greatly appreciated. thanksomuch!!
Gilly, he actually owes you an apology because of something that you stated that was correct. Of course he never apologized because he was proven WRONG!
If you read the Texas BRN it stated that you do need a local license. Something that is written on the BRN website takes overrides something verbal over the phone. If it's clearly written in the website I would take that over something verbal over the phone unless that verbal statement can be given also in writing. It clearly states that a license verification is needed for foreign grads under the FAQs. So if Texas is stating over the phone that you don't need a local license, then they need to clearly state that on their website or something given written to that fact.

No apologies needed. We all know what the correct information is and that's what matters :wink2:!
Texas does not require a local license to sit for NCLEX.If you have it, then you must indicate it, if you don't have it then it's not required.
When was the last time any of ya'll called the Texas BON? Yea that's what I thought never.
Call the Texas BON and then you will be able to verify my answer, and if your man or woman enough, you may even say you were wrong
No, don't need to call them. Not interested in a license there. I'll take your word for it. But the OP should definitely deal with the Texas BON directly. It's her career on the line, not yours, not mine.

100% agree with you
Every one needs to call the BON directly and find the answer directly.
I have a license for 3 decades, I can only remember calling the BON one time. Why would someone be calling the BON all the time. Secondly shouldn't the BON only talk with the applicant? I would upset to know someone was using my credentials to check for eligibility.
Sorry, if you are competent enough to apply for a license you should be competent enough to do the follow up calls your self.

You must understand that BON change requiremnts from time to time. It's not static.
Once must read the website and make calls to BON to keep updated on each specific BON.
