Method 3 Category for applying for Lvn license exam here in California

[mgmamas]

Good evening everyone,

I just have a quick question since i'm a bit confuse. Has anyone ever fallen in Method 3 upon applying to take the license exam for lvn here in cali? The thing is I attended school in the Philippines BSN for 3 1/2 years and im trying to see if i can be qualified to take the lvn exam. My question is for method 3 do i submit all of requirements under that category.. Im confused about the employment verification part?? Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks guys& Godbless:)

you are method 3 and just disregard the employment verification. and one more thing, lvn board requires cgfns evaluation of transcripts now for foreign. grads which has started around nov2016

Thanks for the reply:) i have another question, i didn't graduate yet but went to nursing school for 3 1/2 yrs, can i still get my transcripts from those 3 years evaluated to cgfns? & last question so all i need to do for method 3 is step #1 and get the forms fill out from the college i attended and just disregard the employment verification? Thank you again for your help, i really appreciate it! Godbless

employment verifcation are for people only who had working exp as lvn before. in your case, no need for it. regarding your transcripts, im not sure, only cgfns will decide if you met their criteria once you sent in your documents

usually you are expected to have graduated so really need to check with CGFNS first

Hi there, I'm planning to take the license exam for LVN in CA, planning to use Method 3 Education alone, but I graduated from my nursing degree in the Philippines 6 years ago. I was wondering if that would be ok? What do you suggest I do? Thanks in advance!

I think if you graduated outside US you do method 2, not 3 if im correct. Hopefully i'll be qualified to take the exam even without graduating. Did 3 1/2 yrs for nursing school in the Philippines& be doing method 3

thanks for the reply @ mgmamas. What I understood with method 2 is that they meant schools that are in different states, got confused. I'm just worried that they might not accept my application since its been 6 years since I graduated from Nursing school.
