Indian Nurse graduate applying for CA BON NCLEX

Published

Hello ALL

I completed my B.sc. Nursing (4 yr program) from India and am registered nurse in India, i just immigrated to california USA (I have SSN#). and would like to take NCLEX here. i visited CA Board of Nursing and prepared following DOCUMENTS for submission

1. request for transcript form, Transcript, EDUCATIONAL Breakdown form, Clinical experience book copy, Academic calender, copy of Syllabus(300 pages) - in a process of being submitted from my college

2. I finishied Breze online application, Live scan, Indian Licence and midwifery certificate, application fee- in a process of submitted by me to board

Is there anything else would you recommend me or my college to submit to receive ATT sooner FROM ca bon.

I have heard CA BON has lots of concurrency issues for international graduate nurse, can you share your experience so I can learn?

Thanks much

Just submit your application and the quicker the CA BRN gets to it, the faster you'll get notice of what's missing and go from there.

With regards to the concurrency issues, again, until the CA BRN receives and has time to review your transcripts, will you know of whether or not, you meet the requirements. There have been some posters from India who have reported not having problems with their ATT approvals and then, there are some that were said to have been part of their classmates who were re-taking the deficiencies.

Since it's all case-by-case basis, let the CA BRN make their decisions and simply hope for the best at this point.

Every transcript reviewed is based on their own merit and not due to being analyzed as a group application. There are some applicants who from the same schools and graduation years had different results.

Good luck!

How long did you wait for BON response after submission? Did they make you submit clinical cases too?

Have you checked if a courier service can deliver it? Suggest you check that the courier obtains signatures as proof of delivery and that there is a way to track it.

Hi Bhumidesai;

I am also an Indian nurse trying to apply for RN in CA. I have one confusion. Do we need to send the original transcript from the college to CA BON? I am trying to certify my copies of transcript from my college because i do have the original transcript with me in US right now. I am trying to submit all the documents like you have listed above, is there anything you recommend me to care about?

Please help me providing some info. I really appreciate for your time.

Thank you so much.
