Graduate in the Philippines to take NCLEX in California

World Registration

Published

HI, I'd like to ask if someone has the same sitch as me and what they did.

I am a graduate of Manila Doctors College last May 2011.

I'm back here in California. I am a permanent resident (green card holder). I have read on the CA.RR.GOV that I do not need to take the Philippine local boards or the cgfns and the toefl exam to take the NCLEX.

I have already accomplished my livescan and sent in my application and paid 150$.

Now they have sent me a letter requiring me with the following things:

1. Class schedule for the nursing program completed at MDC

2. Transcript for all education and training sent from MDC

3. Enrollment forms during my nursing years

4. Clinical rotation schedule and/or student logbook reflecting dates, instructor's signature and location of clinical training completed

5. Social security card

6. Passport and visa

I have no problem with numbers 2,5 and 6. But my the others I don't know how to get. :( I don't have a copy of my class schedules anymore, and so as my enrollment forms for 4 years. and most importantly, the clinical rotation schedule with dates and instructor's signature. :( HOW WERE YOU GUYS ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THAT? I'm self reviewing for my exam and going to the library everyday, but right now i cant focus because I don't know how to accomplish these things. :(

I REALLY HOPE SOMEONE CAN GIVE ME AN ADVICE ON WHAT'S THE BEST THING TO DO.

hi. i am a registered nurse here in philippines but didn’t practice my nursing career. i just got married to an american citizen and currently my petition is under process. But now i decided to continue my profession. My husband is from San Jose California. While waiting for my petition i plan to review and take NCLEX here in philippines. any advice on what’s the best thing to do? take Nclex here in philippines? or just take in California when i get there? any suggestions? thank you in advance! ?

Until you register with a state you can’t sit NCLEX. Be aware that California will not accept application without US SSN, which you cannot get until in the US with valid visa, and they are one of the toughest states to register with
