Hi Katerynam,

Where are you from? What equivalence did you get (and how many years of study?) I'm an international nurse too, and waiting for my CES report.

Good luck!!!!!!!

There have been posts here, the board may recommend you make up the hours and suggest programs to attend.

Do they took some units to fill-in the lacking number of hours?

Seems like a responsible suggestion from the Board of Nursing.

Did you have lacking clinical hours but still allowed by FL-BON to take NCLEX? What did you do? I have 13 hours lacking in psychiatric/mental health in my CES Report.

You will not receive eligibility to sit NCLEX until clinical hours are met
