New Policy in CA BON.

Published

hi..i applied for nclex rn this jan 2011, unfortunately, the ca bon told me that i am not yet eligible to take the exam because i did not met their requirements for psychiatric nursing, but i already graduated in the philippines, i already took psychiatric nursing and now they want me to study again psychiatric nursing here in california.they said that, that's their new policy as of jan 2011...i am wondering if anyone here who already had or have my case?????because i can't believe it that this is happening,my schoolmates and friends had their eligiblity thing...thank you..godbless..:o

Really?where r u from?I don't have yet my eligibility.I sent a letter to the BRN from

the dean on my school explaining that I finished my units in psych.what is ur name?what school r u from??

i graduated in the phils, FEU, i just talked to my evaluator a while ago, and she said that i really have to take the psychiatric nursing course bec, i graduated 2007 and i lack the no. of hours from psychiatric, bec as of jjan 2011 theres a new policy of no. of hours in psychiatric nursing, as far as i can remember graduates of 2009 and below have to take the course. so i just decided to apply in florida instead

Are u here in ca??is it ok to give me ur number??u know what?my batchmates that applied this yr also got their eligibilty it's unfair for me coz we just took the same class and units.who is ur evaluator??and what's ur email??

no im here in virginia, i forgot the name of my evaluator,but she sounded like an indian, nwey wat year did u graduate in the phils?

Oh u can see the name of ur analyst or evaluator on the BRN letter.I graduated last 2010 in AUF,Angeles city..It's unfair on our part because some of batchmates got their eligiblity,they just applied last April and now they're ready to take the exam,but me I applied last Jan still I don't have my eligibilty.

I am having the same trouble too. I graduated from Cebu, Phils. on April 2010. I applied to CA-BRn last Jan. 2011 and on March 2011 I received a letter from the stating that I need to take up the Psychiatric Nursing course in one of the schools in CA. I live in Dallas right now. I have sent an e-mail to CA-BRN bit I haven't received any response. How's your case going?

Hi u can email me at [email protected] case?it is still on process..I'll tell u on email..

hi, i was researching for 2 weeks already if some people had same situation like mine. and really there is.

i thought its just me. but yeah, i also received the same letter from the board. just this month. i graduated 2009 and i was so devastated only to find out this thing. ive been applying for more than a year and when i finally received the letter only to find out i still have deficiency and have to enroll coz of my psychiatric hours deficiency.

I tried to make an appeal to them and told them i have a friend who graduate 2008 live just an exit away from my house and we graduated in the same school and she was able to received her eligibility last august. iam so super frustrated. at least i know now that somebody out there knows how it feels like. :-(

have you ever ask em if how many is the minimun hours required?

oh i hope we will have exemption since we finished our nursing degree prior to the new mnimun hours policy. lets all pray that the analyst will show mercy on us.

oh i dont want to go back to school again. i have studied hard for 4 years already.

thanks! i hope i can hear from you guys.

oh im from cali too.

I've tried calling them and sending them an e-mail, but they are very firm about the psychiatric nursing thingy. Next month I'm going to file another application here in Texas.

did you ever ask em if how many hour you still need to comply?

wel, i just emailed then yesterday if how many exactly is the minimum hours now, cuz like what i said me and my friend who got her eligibility just last aug. we compared our hours and its just the same.

are you in texas now?

well, goodluck to that. i hope they wont give you hard time in there.

and as for me, ill just keep praying. cuz i dont really wanna go back to school again.
