Philippine Graduate; Ineligible for Ca NCLEX-RN-- Other options??

[belagee12]

Hey Everyone!

Along with many other foreign-graduated nurses, I was deemed ineligible to take the NCLEX exam for the state of california You could only imagine my disappointment and frustration after i opened that letter. I tried looking into applying for Nevada instead but saw a recent post about Nevada having more requirements as well :/ I feel as if i'm not really sure as what I should do. I'll be moving to California in a week, in hopes of looking for a school there that I might be able to enroll in, but I just want if anyone has any other suggestions out there?

I was also looking into taking the LVN exam as well-- has there been anyone in the same situation who applied for the NCLEX-pn exam and got their ATT? If so, please share the process and experience! :)

Also, any suggestions about any other states i could try applying for? Perhaps, for one that isn't as strict? I have this fear that soon enough all the states will be adapting California's attitude with foreign-graduated nurses :/

Wait, what? If you're from the 2012 batch, it was thought by other posters here, that the CHED has already adjusted the curriculums to meet the CA BON requirements?

The other posters of 2012 just recently applied into CA, but still awaiting for their answers, hope it's a better news.

Subject-wise yes, but the cases, I don't think so. Though the cases have been shortened to just 3, being able to complete them within the time period of the subject was not implemented, at least in some schools.

You are not challenging the exam but applying to meet requirements to be a licensed LVN in CA. Plenty of threads discussing the process but also check out the BVNPT website (links can be found at the bottom of the page)

I dont have my high school diploma, is it okay to submit only

my college diploma together with the bvnpt application?

[pam_sim1489]

would the ca BRN transfer these record of nursing program and record of nursing experience to bvnpt or would i need to request this again from my school in the philippines?

@dragonlady your response to @belagee12 is very informative. simple and concrete. you pretty much answered all the queries in my head, how to do a transfer of requiremsnts from ca nclex-rn to ca nclex-pn. except, how do you do a 'request' to rn board of nursing for transfer documents? did you just simply emailed them, or filled up a form prior to filling up the declaration form which they sent you?

hope to hear from you soon. thanks.
