I know st rose has a new grad program. But I'm not familiar with how you go about it. But there are boards under Nevada nursing that are talking about the new grad programs of st rose ?

Thank you so so much! You're really very helpful and you put back together my shattered dreams! I'm currently applying for nclex-RN in michigan and hopefully I pass, that way I'll just do endorsement to be licensed here in Nevada. Thank you thank you thank you! :) it's nice having someone to talk to about issues like this. :)

Hi, why would you apply for a MI license and then endorse back into NV? I'm not sure if you know this, but you're still going to have to meet the NV BON's requirements all over again even as an endorsement applicant.
So if you're okay with paying for another set of non-refundable application fees and wasting more time waiting to see if your educational requirements and other licensing requirements will meet the NV BON minimums, you'll not be able to start looking for a job in NV.
What you're planning to do is very common amongst the international applicants who strongly believe that once they obtain their RN license in a "easy, fast and cheapest" state then try to endorse over into their real desired state to work in, they find themselves more frustrated and disappointed as they soon find out, it's not an "automatic ticket or pass" to get endorsed.
They end up having to do whatever they were trying to avoid in the first place, be it the SS# not able to be provided or they don't have their local country's nursing license or out of concurrency compliance or lacking certain clinical hours or lacking some courses or other issues. Some try to avoid the English proficiency exams and passing and having to pay for that extra cost.

Hi there! :) Well I just want to clear things out. I want to be licensed in Michigan not because it's an "easy, fast, cheapest state" or "automatic ticket" to get endorsed.

You don't know my story steppybay. I applied for Michigan because my family was still in there. Now, things happened unexpectedly. They had to move in LV and then months later my boyfriend proposed to me so we decided to just settle down where my family is.

I'm not avoiding any English proficiency exam nor the SS# thing. I'm a registered nurse in the Philippines and also I'm an immigrant so SS# is not my problem.

I hope you stop generalizing. Just because I applied in Michigan, that doesn't mean I'm using it as an "automatic pass" to get endorsed.

Anyway, thanks for your time! :) Have a nice day! :)
