Graduate in philippines. Need to know how can I apply for NCLEX

Published

Hello everybody,

My sister-in-law just graduated BSN in philippines. She wants to apply to take the NCLEX in California. She will be coming here in the U.S in about 6month -1year via spouse petition. She wants to take the Nclex now in the philippines. Can anyone tell me how she can do that? is it possible for her to take it now in the philippines? pls help

Good day!

I'm a BSN graduate of 2008 and recently took the nursing licensure examination here in the Philippines. I already have a U.S. visa (my family are U.S. immigrants already and we just filed for a 2-year reentry visa just so my siblings and I can finish our studies here) Anyhow, I would like to ask if I can apply and take the NCLEX here in the Philippines, my reentry visa expires next year, and I have to go back to the U.S. by September or October. Will that give me enough time to take the test?

And yes, how do I file for NCLEX?

Thank you so much.

Which state do you plan to practice? I suggest going to their BON website and checking their requirements for foreign trained nurses.

Also, you do not apply for NCLEX. You apply for state licensure, which taking the NCLEX is only a step of.

Suggest that you read the primer stickied on top of this forum. Ms. Suzanne has put a lot of helpful links in there.

As long as you already have the papers you need from here, it will be okay to go back. You can take the exam in the US as well to save you the $150 extra for international testing sites.

Good Luck!
