have you passed the breakdown of your course from your school?

please clarify it with BRN, maybe there are some lacking documents for that. it would be a waste of time if you will study again and of course it will a lot of money..

hi dawn. i am very sorry to hear that. i am suggesting that you have to write the bon to clarify that matter and make an appeal and submit the documents that will prove that you indeed meet their requirements. if you will write them, be sure to include your application number as reflected on their letter to you so that they won't have a hard time to locate your file. have you submitted to them your rle too? as for me, i have submitted to them my rle from 2nd level to 4th level and each page was signed by the dean of nursing and was sealed with our school seal.

i hope that in due time, you will be given an eligibity to take the nclex.

Moved to the International forum

The board of nursing can and do change requirements, you need to clarify with the BRN what their requirements are and check them against your transcripts

If you're still in the Philippines you may want to save yourself some money and send them an email instead. This way you have a paper trail incase if something arises in the future. I'm not discouraging you to call but I'm encouraging you to get something in writing. Good Luck
