hi_hello29

Hello! Thanks for replying. The country I have studied in has ranks for Nursing schools Nationwide. ALL Nursing school focuses on their rank therefore, instead of helping their students, they were more likely to save themselves and pressure the students instead of guiding them. Although, the good thing about this was it helped me understand almost everything on my own. I don't entirely blame the school's system, but isn't their education what I paid for? For me to learn and understand? Anyway, I guess to this point, I blame myself the most for my decisions. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I like your idea of being proactive. I will keep that in mind. These kinds of comments help me clear my thoughts. Thank you.

Thank you for replying, and for your advice. This is very kind of you. I will do this and hope it works out. Thank you so much

Hey, thanks for the thought and for replying! Sorry if my post confused you. I have graduated in an accredited school with a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing. And yes, the school does not get what to submit to the Board of Nursing here in California. I studied in a different country, by the way. Which is the number one thing that is stressing me out right now. I know I am to blame for being indecisive, and for not fixing my documents for the NCLEX before I came back to the US. (Well, thus this post... ) I am just terrified if I will not be eligible to take the NCLEX because so far, I do not have a back up and my parents aren't getting any younger. I promised them a better future, and yet, I am still stuck in this phase. (Sorry for the long reply)

Thank you for replying. I appreciate all kinds of response. I get where you're coming from. Before college, I always wondered why people go to paths they are not passionate about or jobs they simply dread. And I was told to "find a career, not a job" But I realized that some people stay in their job because they have to. Mostly because of financial reasons. And I fall into this category. I'm not saying being in the fields of Arts will not lead me to a better path. But it's too late to go to that path for me because I don't have the means to, and being in nursing school left me with not much money to spend on what I really am passionate about. Again, thanks for replying!

Thanks for sharing! That's exactly what I thought about the professors as well. Most professors I encountered were doing there job just to get it over with, without even thinking about their students' future!

I know not alot will reply to this post. This is mostly just about letting my thoughts out, and asking others about their experience/s or whatnot. Feel free to reply, rant, give an advice, share your experience, whatever tickles your pickle. So.... I took up nursing because of, well, the salary. Which sucks because I love arts. Anyway, I hated going to school. I had to drag myself to school, and cry, have anxiety attacks I had to hide until I get home. My school sucks. The professor sucks. And I'm not even being dramatic. We were roughly around 11-15 students. And the professors were only like 3 or 4? Depends. So they had their favorite/s. Obviously, I was never one of them since I was a transferee (and I don't really mind lol) Although I learned to love nursing. Literally nursing. I only loved the program because of the patients/ people I got to know and take care of. This is the ONLY reason that kept me going other than wanting to provide my parents' needs. I've been to three different nursing schools (the description above is about my last two schools), mostly because of lack of financial issues, partly because I was looking for the right school. Which I know was a mistake. I never failed any major subjects though. Even though the professors didn't admire me as much as they did others, some of them believed I will pass the board exam. I don't know why. Up to this day, I'm still questioning myself. I don't even know how or why I passed! I never took Anatomy and Physiology seriously, so it gave me a hard time, but I managed. Although I still don't know alot about AnaPhy until now! Most especially about meds!! I graduated in 2016. I stopped thinking about taking the board exam and to enlist in the military instead. So I never really fixed what was needed to be fixed or gathered for the exam. But in November 2017 (yes 2017 not a typo), I realized I can't enlist because I want to have a normal life, be close to my family, and to not be scared about issues happening inside the military. So in December, I decided to take the exam. Since I'm already abroad, I couldn't fix my papers/documents/requirements, and so I asked other people to do it. But then the schools I attended to are very disorganized. VERY. DISORGANIZED. So they don't understand what the requirements are to be submitted even if we have explained it over and over. .... Okay, to cut the story short. I'm so stressed, confused and anxious if I'm even going to be eligible. I'm always being asked about when I'll be taking the test, my father always asks me for an update about my requirements (if it's already done processing) Everyone's either working or taking up their Master's. I'm so s.t.r.e.s.s.e.d out I don't even understand what I'm trying to study. I can't concentrate because I'm still lacking requirements which is MOSTLY my schools' fault. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? WHAT ARE YOUR TIPS? ARE YOU EXPERIENCING SOMETHING SIMILAR? H E L P

Oh, I see! Thank you for replying!! May I ask what school you studied in?

Hello! Thanks for replying!! I already sent the letter of explanation to my Analyst. I basically just wrote "(...)because I am a U.S. Citizen" Just waiting for the reply..

Hello! I hope someone who is having the same situation would reply to this, or at least someone who has an idea. I would really appreciate it. I am a U.S. citizen who studied BS-Nursing in the Philippines. I submitted the requirements for NCLEX-RN and now, I am being asked for a copy of my foreign nursing license. Here's the thing, I did not take the Philippine Nursing Licensure Exam because of my U.S. Citizenship. I had no intention on taking the board exam in the Philippines. So my question is: How should I address this to my analyst? Thank you so much

Thank you so much!!!

Hello. Please bear with me as I am quite confused about the process of registration for the NCLEX - RN. I applied ONLINE through BreEZe.ca.gov, but submitted the documents via mail. ~ I filled up the Application Form, gathered all necessary requirements, and wrote a check of $150 for the payment ~ I sent the requirements mentioned above ~ I sent a Request for Transcript Form and the breakdown of grades from the schools I have attended (I studied in different nursing schools) Now, my question is, how will I know if: -- I am lacking requirements? -- I am eligible for the NCLEX? Will they (a) mail it to me, (b) send me an e-mail, © send me a notification in my breEZe account (even if I did not submit the documents online, but through mail)? Thank you so much I appreciate it in advance

Hi! I would like to ask what happens if the transcripts were passed by the school to the BON before an applicant passes the Application Form for the NCLEX? The reason why the application form was sent later was because my friend wanted the BON to receive the Application Form at least a week before the school passes it, so the documents will be received all at once or at least close to the dates. And he thought the school would pass the transcripts after 3 months as he was told. But then it was sent earlier. Thanks for the help in advance we appreciate it!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! Should I provide a letter explaining as to why I did not take the board exam? Or it doesn't matter?

Hi! My friend attended nursing school in the Philippines
