Applying for NCLEX RN/ NCLEX LPN in Nevada

World Registration

Published

Hello! I am a BSN graduate from Philippines and Board Passer last September 2011. I am now immigrant here in US. I am aware that the CABON requires additional schooling for the foreign grads because of concurrency issues, now I am planning to take the NClex in Nevada. One of my relatives friend told me that the Nevada BON is closed for foreign grads in taking the exam. I don't know if this is true, but in case I would like to try to apply for Nclex LPN. I've searched the web and some sites said that before i can take the NClex LPN exam I need to enroll in some LPN Training program. Well, I am just confused for now and i don't know what to do.. Any Comments or info will be a great help for me.. Thank You in advance and Mabuhay!!!

hoby - actually I am still waiting for my toefl examination results. it's my 3rd time taking toefl, i do not have problem to other parts of the exam, but the speaking part........arrrrghhhhhh. it is like impossible to get the 26 which is required score before taking the nclex, many test takers were saying that they just want your money that is why they don't want to give the required score.well, try and try untill we succeed, but i am running out of money, all of my savings are going to the toefl payment.:(
