NCLEX application in Oregon

OR is an interesting state to apply for the initial licensure exam, what year did you graduate? From what country? Do you have any paid RN experiences?

Hi everyone! I'm really confuse to where will I be sending my NCLEX application in Oregon State. I already paid $160 in Oregon State Board of Nursing. and I have just read that all documents must be submitted first in Credentials Evaluation Service and they will be sending it to Oregon State board of nursing. So will I pay for additional fees for the specific evaluation services? Can someone help me explain it. Hope I get response.

Yes, on top of your application fee which you paid to OSBN, you will have to pay for the Credentials Evaluation Service (CES) either through CGFNS, ERES or... I forgot the other one. I used CGFNS btw.

If my memory serves me right, the general steps are (assuming you're from the Philippines):

1. Submit you application form, fingerprint card, fee payment, etc. to OSBN.

2. Choose where you will have your credentials evaluated and proceed with payment. The fee is right around $350.

2.a. Complete the forms. Some of which you would have to bring to your school registrar. (TOR, RLE, Language Verification). Your school will send the completed form along with the required docs, directly to CGFNS/ERES/?. So you'd have to give your school the courier fee for that.

2.b. Another form will be completed in PRC. (License Verification). You will again pay for the courier fee because PRC will send it to CGFNS/ERES/?.

3. Wait for your eligibility. Or you can immediately proceed to step 4 if you want to.

4. Register with Pearson Vue. Once OSBN declares you eligible to sit the NCLEX, PearsonVue will release your ATT.

5. Schedule and sit the exam.

My post is in no way a complete guide for NCLEX application in Oregon. Just an overview I guess. For those who know more than I do, feel free to jump right in to add more info or correct whatever I said.

Good luck! :)
