Published

Hi all I' am from the Philippines i was graduated last 2008 as a BSN in the Philippines but i never

had a licensed in my own country,after i graduate I work as a Teller in a bank in my country because

there is no job for nurses in my own country so times goes by i forgot to take the Local board then after two

years get Married a Guy from Maine and move here in Maine for Good i want to pursue my Nursing

Career now,,but i dont where to start since Maine required a licensed from my own country but I read some blog that if i dont a licensed i just need to do the CES in CGFNS and do the NCLEX I,m not really sure about this I tried calling Maine BON

many times there anwers is very unreliable some say I dont need a licensed in my own country some they said I just need to do

the CES I' am really frustrated,,I'am also planing if there is no way to be a Nurse in Maine because i dont have license in my home country,I'm gonna try some community school then they going to evaluate my credential and take some classes,,i dont know what to do I'm confuse hope somebody can help me,,Thank you,,GOd bless,,

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

Moved to the international forum

I guess the only way to find out is to go through the submission with CGFNS and state BON and submit a letter stating you didn't take NLE
