NCLEX Review Center in the Phillipines

HI! I just need your advice. please? I didn't pass the Nursing Licensure Exam here in the Philippines last June 2006. i'll retake the test this coming december. My friends adviced me to start processing my application for NCLEX exam in Cali or New York because it will take 6 months before the release of my ATT (Approval to take Test). Ive already downloaded the application form but im still looking for an agency who can assist me processing my application or do u think it's better if i'll do it on my own. i have already the fingerprinting card and application form anyway?? and do you know where can I find the best NCLEX review center here in the Philippines? which is better? Pass an application to take NCLEX and Enroll in a review center like Kaplan..or find an agency that will help you process your application and that will also give review classes? please help me..

Thank you in advance! God bless you all!

Hi keira,

I'm also from the phil.and i wud suggest to chk first the requirements needed in a state wer u plan to apply.coz' i think others wud still require the CGFNS + an english exam in order to have their visa screen certificate.Then from there,u should first complete those in order for you to apply as a nurse in the US.Set aside first the NCLEX it will follow as soon as your sure wer you plan to apply and wat the reqs. are.With regards to the review center,better make use of NCLEX books rather than spending too much witth the center.But if you have the money,then go!if this will help you gain confidence and discipline.

llinois requires the CES be submitted first, as well as passing of the English exams before they will permit you to sit for the exam.

does this apply to New Jersey? because i am planning to wait for the eligibility to sit first and take the NCLEX before the IELTS.

Go for Kaplan! i passed:balloons:

You said that you applied online(KAPLAN)? how did you paid it? is it via credit card. And one more thing what is more advicable ill took my review online or just in a regular class.

I suggest you use the saunders comprehensive exam book & CD + NCSBN module online. It worked for me! Plus I don't have anything against live lectures, it's just that I didn't get more from the lecturers more than what I learned from school. But reading the college textbooks, especially MS by Black, was really valuable in answering the difficult questions during the NCLEX. Learning the disease process will get you through questions that requires Critical Thinking! Good luck!

hi anyone! i really need help regarding my appli to New Mexico. Does anyone here applied for New Nexico? how true is the news that applying for CA will take 8 mos?

I am licensed in New Mexico. Got my eligibility in 2 months, result in 2 days, and license was mailed in 3weeks (i love that little green card w/ the lamp as hologram!). I finished in 50 minutes w/ 75 questions. What's my secret? I made sure I can explain the disease process. Proved to be valuable in answering questions that requires critical thinking. I self-studied, used saunder's comprehensive review book + cd, and NCSBN online. Took 3 months to study & US$ 750 including HK exam. About California, a memo was sent to me from CA BON, she said that for int'l applicants, it will take 20-24 weeks to process if you will apply from October to December. Good luck!
