If it says so on the site then you must take the exam.....http://mn.gov/health-licensing-boards/images/Exam_application_packet_for_foreign_educated_RN_by_exam_applicants.pdf

Hi tnx for answering as i've read it, it says that "pass an approved English proficiency test UNLESS you graduated from a nursing education program conducted in English and located in an English Speaking country" how about that? We use english as our mode of communication and during discussion way back on our college days and we use txtbook that is in English. Here in the PI english is our 2nd language we use it both. Will I be exempted to the rule?? Do I have to prove that we really use English as our mode of learning/comm

By the way tnx again for the reply :)

All depends on report from CGFNS and what the BON requires. We have seen American citizens have to do an English exam because they trained outside the US and their school was in the Philippines and the BON wanted it done

Thank you @silverdragon102 :) what if i take nclex in the state which is easier to apply which does noe require credentials eval and english exam. And Ill just endorsed it to MN state. Is it possible? Will I encounter some problems if i will do this strategy?

Something you really should ask the BON. Sometimes requirements are the same when endorsing and sometimes they are not the same

Thank you @silverdragon102

So i have to contact them first. God speed on this admin:)
