NCLEX @ Puerto Rico

Updated:   Published

Hello! Do any Puerto Rico Nurses knows how to take (apply) the NCLEX. All ready took the state exam "Revalida" and passed it but I want to expand my wings and try the states, but don't know how. Do I have to apply first for any board or just take it home (PR) pass and then apply? I know its a lot of money involved and I was wondering also if it was best to take it and then go ahead and apply for endorsement. Thanks in advance

If you do not meet the qualifications in CABRN for license by examination you will not meet the qualifications for license by endorsement as they are the same. Even if licensed in one of the 49 other states, you still need to meet the same qualifications to endorse back to CA.

Yes I passed. I took my test in FL but for Wisconsin then I just endorsed my RN licence to FL because FL was strict with international students but I passed and I am currently working as a nurse.

Are you working as a nurse in Florida?

Hello Wisconsin now considers Puerto Rico as international education and all applicants must pass the English proficiency exam and send your transcript through a third party evaluation company, which sort of pricy.

Our next options for the ones who finished a nursing program in PR is do it through Colorado State.

You can call the board and ask. If they tell you that you need to process your application through CGFNS International, Inc. | Global Credibility | and to pass TOFL exam then it means they are still considering PR as international. Colorado state is pretty easy and many of my classmates did it through Colorado and then endorsed their license to their home state. I did my boards through California state because Is where I live and does not see PR graduates as international.
