No copy of clinical cases for ca-brn

[teamadvisory]

Hi guys, I applied for Licensure by Examination in Cali and I graduated from Philippines last 2009. I'm having a situation now I received a letter from the CA-BRN asking for additional requirements which is the clinical cases. My school told me that they don't have my clinical cases record anymore since it's been more than 5 years. Never did I expect that they would ask for it. What should I do? will they reject my application?.I'm really worried. I hope someone could give me information about this matter. Thanks.

Any PH applicants applying on or before Nov. 2011 was not affected by the stricter concurrency rules that has been in the CA BRN regulations for the past 30 years, nothing has changed since that time, just the mere enforcement month and year of Nov. 2011, which is why your classmate was approved.

There have been many applicants who were approved under the Nov. 2011 deadline, didn't pass the NCLEX and upon their re-application, they were then denied the ATT and had to also meet the concurrency rules.

Don't forget these same exact rules applies to any and all applicants, it applies to all foreign and local and domestic applications, if they didn't meet them.

Why are you looking into courses in NJ to meet the deficiencies? I'm assuming you live there now or will be living there if they are found as none of the deficiencies can be done via any on-line courses, the CA BRN will not approve on-line courses.

Thanks for that detailed information steppybay. I am looking for schools in NJ because I will be moving there soon. And that's true that CA-BRN don't want any online courses that's why I am so eager to find a school that offers the program for my deficiencies, I really want to complete the coursework so I can have the eligibility and sit for the exam.

CA is NO longer the fastest, cheapest and easiest state to qualify for the ATT or endorsement since Nov. 2011.

Now you know why literally thousands upon thousands of PH applicants that graduated between 2004/2005 to 2015-2016 have been moving their applications to other states and finding work in those states as they are unable to meet the concurrency rules within the 3 year limitation.

Since you're planning to move to NJ anyways, why not start the application process there?

Unless you find a CA school soon and assume that you have the money to pay for the pricey tuition (from $10K-30K plus today and upfront cost) for a school that could take you quicker or wait up to 2-3 years (if you can get on a waiting list) for a cheaper cost school. Many schools only offer the deficient courses in the summertime with no guarantees you will be given a chance to apply due to hugh backlog.

By the time, NJ BON clears you after waiting several months for the course evaluations and probably not have to meet the concurrency rules there, you'll be ahead of the game and get the ATT and your CA application would be abandoned anyways.

Should you decide to come back to CA, you will still have to meet the concurrency deficiencies as the CA BRN does not count years and years of actual working experience as everything is based on your original school transcripts.
