Foreign graduate from Philippines taking NCLEX in Michigan

Published

I am a lawful permanent resident. I am a nursing graduate and I did not took the local board exam. I'm about to apply in the state of Michigan. And it stated in their RN application form that I have to complete a professional report by ces of cgfns and ielts/toefl. I called the BON michigan if I have to take the local board exam and they just told me to call CGFNS. So I called CGFNS And the representative told me I just need to have the ielts exam and send the transcript of records to cgfns. I'm very doubtful if I was given with the correct informations from this people. So I just want to ask you guys if you could help me verify whether I need to take the local exam for Michigan or not. Your help will be a great help thanks.

Hello everyone?, just needed help here. I really wanted to work but I don't know where to start, I'm BSN grad (underboard)in Philippines. I tried applying one of nursing homes here in Holland , Michigan but I haven't heard anything from them, probably they don't recognize my educational background here. Please do advice me on what to do so I can use my nursing degree here Michigan.

Thank you and God bless!

Have you sorted registration out with state BON?

Appreciated your reply silverdragon102?. I haven't done anything yet cus I really don't know where to start and I'm concerned on how much the payment. Is the BON MICHIGAN is the first step to do?

Thank you and God bless everyone!

Until you sort registration out I doubt anyone will look at your resumes. Check out the state BON for requirements as a International Educated Nurse

That depends on the state. Some require local license but may accept letter of explanation on why it wasn’t taken
