I have a question regarding my eligibilty in taking the NCLEX-RN in Colorado.
I'm a Filipino Immigrant who is now currently residing in Colorado. I am graduate of Bachelor of Science in Nursing in the Philippines batch 2012-2013. I have not take the Nursing Licensure Examination (NLE) in the Philippines since there were circumstances which required me to travel to or my visa will be expired, so I am not a registered nurse in the Philippines.
My question is, can I take the NCLEX-RN here in Colorado even if I'm not an RN in the Philippines? If yes, what are the necessary requirements for me to submit in order for me to take the NCLEX-RN?

it would be best if you contact the Colorado BON.
but just an overview, you'll need a credentials evaluation from CGFNS, which takes months to process.
here's the link:
