World International

Published

Hello

I am new here... my case.. I finish my BSN in our country PHIL. but i am not a LICENSE. i am here at the USA with GC holder.

now, i am planning to take an NCLEX. i am looking what states that i am qualified to take an NCLEX. because here in our place INDIANA they required a license from my country, so i am not qualified here.. I heard that some states doesn't need an RN.. is there anyone here to answer my questions?

Is CALIFORNIA doesn't need an RN?? is that true??

thank u

Im not being rude, just being honest, but .....uhmmm read through the thread and got a headache! When you work in the US as a nurse the most basic, most important thing is proper communication skill and I find it hard to understand what the OP is saying. Grammar and tenses all mixed up!

Hi Sheila! Just like cybercyke I would like to know what reason you gave California BON as to why you do not have a local license from your home country. Your reply would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

this is my explanation :-) hope this will help, but it depends on the situations of an individual.

Dear CALIFORNIA BOARD OF REGISTERED NURSING

Please find my diploma for my BSN degree attached as evidence of my eligibility to sit for the NCLEX exam.

I have never sat for the NCLEX exam in any State or Territory.

I did not wish to practice nursing in my home country therefore I did not need a license there as I was involved in business using mg BSBA, and have since married an American and came here to the United States on Spousal Visa.

I also have a Green card and Social Security card and am eligible to work in this country. I intend to live here permanently, I hope you will grant my license request.

That's a good explanation for someone who is in a similiar situation as Shiela. But I can tell you it doesn't sometimes work. It all depends on who receives your application. I personally know several people who had to return to the Philippines in order to sit for the NLE. It was sad because both of them actually grew up here and returned in order there to obtain their nursing education. Now there are regrets with that one RN. The other one didn't really care as all she wanted was "an easy way to obtain a BSN" and those were her exact words. Good Luck to all

Helo!^^ I just came across your post now so I was wondering what was your current status regarding your problem? I wanted to inform you that all 50 states of America require all international fresh graduates are required to have a license in their country before they can apply to take the RN-NCLEX exam... Only under special considerations can you take it without a license such as ineligiblity of licensure in your country due to citizenship status. For example I'm a American Citizen, when I graduated in the Philippines I was Ineligible to take the Board Exams due to citizenship... I'm currently applying here in CA. And it's still really not easy.. there are many requirements before you are even accepted as an applicant, one of the important requirements are eligibility of the school you graduated from and if it meets State requirements. I hope this information helps... I was wondering why you didnt get your license in the Philippines in the first place...
