Good Day! I am a RN in the Philippines and graduated at 2010. had 5 years exp and transfered to nz. Currently, i am working here in New Zealand as a NZRN in theatre and got my PR this year but my boyfriend who lived in CA wants me to go there. can anyone help me how to start 1. i checked the cgfns and stated that english exam is not required but when i checked the CA BON they need the toefl. do i need to do it? even i am working here in NZ although i am still using PH passport. 2.SSN. i checked the CA BON and i don't have that but can i use the TIN i used here in NZ? 3. they said that CA is really difficult and advised me to take another state and process the endorsement but there is no gurantee 4. i am a bit confused with the steps as my friend told me that i can process the nclex first before ielts but it stated in the CA BON that toefl is one of the requirements so which should i do first?
