Pinoy nclex takers

Published

Hi there! I'm from the Philippines and migrated here in the US short after graduation and passing the local boards. I failed my first nclex-rn exam and I'm currently reviewing to take it again soon. I wish to hear from our fellow "kababayans" who share the same experience with me. My prayers for success to all of us who are preparing for the nclex! Good luck! :):):)

i have a question.I petioned my wife via k1 visa.One of the requirements in getting the nclex is to state the reason why she wasn't able to obtain license in the philippines.Do you think it will be a valid reason that she took care of her grandparents,which is true and just give california board of nursing a copy of her visa.By the way,we both graduated nursing in the philippines last 2007.any help pls.

She just needs to put in writing that she had no intention on working in the Philippines as a nurse and that she was also taking care of her ageing grandparents. It is up to the BON/BRN whether they accept it

Thanks for the reply.i'll give them a copy of her visa just to be sure.because it will be too hard for her if they're gonna send her back to philippines just to take a licensure exam.

absolutely, like in California Board of registered of Nursing, one of the requirements for taking the nclex is the Professional NUrse license in the Philippines

i became LPR in 2004 but after few months, i went back to Philippines to finish school (nursing).. went back to US in 2009 to stay here for good. When i passed the requirements for nclex, i just stated my reasons for not taking philippine local board exam, which are having no intention to practice nursing in the philippines nor live in the philippines after graduating nursing because my family are all in US.. that's all i stated and got no problem with it. :)

Not a Pinoy but want you all to become nurses so I don't have to work all the holidays :) anyways Lecharity and Saunders are excellent resources to pass nclex. To pass NCLEX you have to know core content and current trending topics. I also have attached a free NCLEX study guide and sample NCLEX materials. Hope this helps. Good luck and God bless.

Hello fellow "kababayans",

While I was reading this thread, I can't help not to ask for your recommendations of school/universities in the Philippines which will accept 2nd degree courser and if there are ones which will accept trimester? I earned my degree back in the Philippines,too. What are the recommendations of school around manila or luzon areas and even mindanao areas that have good reputations and good curriculum background? I will really appreciate it a lot if anyone can help me.thank you so much!
