International graduates of BSN from Philippines?

Published

Did anybody here applied for BON and was denied? I am planning to challenge LVN in California, does anybody knows how long is the processing time for international graduate applying for LVN equivalency?

I went this route, should be 6-8 weeks kabayan, but that depends on your school and your evaluator.. mine took 6-8 mos going back and forth with bvnpt.. I am now waiting for my exam results and processing my cgfns for NV.. good luck!! it also helps if you know someone in your schools registrar dept, it speeds up the process.. if none, it's nothing a cake or pancit can't fix.. it worked for me...

6-8 mos kabayan? Wow thats a long wait, i submitted my application on august 20 and its been 2 weeks the check that i sent with the application was not encashed yet so it means they havent start assessing mine.. When did u process your papers?

My LVN application timeline:

April 28 - Sent the application (everything: yellow form, application forms, school records, etc)

May 11 - BVNPT cashed out my check

July 1 - Received the eligibility letter

Now, I'm still reviewing, cuz I'm not ready yet to take the exam. Maybe next month. Hehe.

Oh wow..!!! It took only less than 3 months, thanks for the idea im just reading a lot about 4-5-6-7-8 mos of wait for international graduate and its a bit disappointing.. When are u planning to take your NCLEX-PN?

Try to challenge the RN guys. I've been 5yrs out of the nursing track and just took my nclex-RN few days ago. It was my first attempt and passed with flying colors. :)

No. It means they are processing your application. Application fees are non refundable if not qualified. You applied for a nursing license by examination. Once your credentials are deemed acceptable you will be notified. Then you register and pay at Pearson Vue, who when authorized by the BoN will email your ATT. Then you register
