Finding Schools in CA for the Deficient Courses

Published

Hi Guys. I would just like to ask if you already knew nursing schools here in California that are accepting international nurses like me who is temporarily denied by CA-BORN due to the concurrency issue. This is all about enrolling MS and OB. I prefer schools around NorCal. But if you could give me schools from SoCal area, that's okay as long as I will know these schools are accepting. Thanks guys.

When can I find a school that will accept me? Seems like most schools that I inquired are on a waiting list basis and worst is they don't accept cases like me who has a concurrency issue. I am so frustrated. It's been more than a year since I received the BRN letter. :(

Yep, so true. You said you're more than a year since the CA BRN love letter like so many.

The thing is we all have to submit the completed requirements (not just to be enrolled) of the deficient courses BEFORE the 3rd year of the application date or the files are considered "abandoned".

Florida BON will have all requirements regarding International trained nurse on their website. Have you tried looking yourself at the requirements?
