Help me apply RN License in California

Published

Hi to All,

I'm new to this website. And I will be thankful if anyone can help me apply my RN License here in Los Angeles, California. To tell you a little bit of my background, I am a foreign Graduate of Nursing in Manila, Philippines batch 2007.

I did not practice since then. My questions pertains to my current situation with no experience and have not taken NCLEX. Also, I am already a permanent resident here in California.

I would like to know, if I would still be requiring to take a refresher course to rake and be qualified to take the NCLEX exam? Thank you for Help

Obtain the application from the BRN website and follow the instructions. You can fill it out online and submit it or you can download and fill out a paper copy to submit. Even if a refresher course is not required, why wouldn’t you want to benefit from such a course? You would not be able to participate in a clinical portion of such a course without already possessing a license though. Even so, the didactic portion should help you prepare for the NCLEX as well as entering practice.
