i am an american citizen. i graduated nursing in the Philippines just last year. i applied for my NCLEX in California last May.. i don't hold a license in the Philippines so i also included in my requirements a written explanation why i don't hold a license in the Philippines. i just stated that i am an American citizen and i look to pursue my nursing career in California. i just want to know if California BON now requires copy of your nursing license from the philippines so that you can receive your elgibility..?well, my school is accredited to take nclex as well. or would it be a case-to-case basis?please answer my question.. i sure don't want to go back and start all over again..thanks!

i applied for my eligibility last may in california.. and called brn to confirm if they had received evrything including my paper works from our school, and they told me that they received it last may 8 2008.. they mentioned that i should wait for 16-24 weeks so that i can have my elig, im just wondering coz my friend told me that if you are a citien here in US, 2mos is a long wait.. you can even have your elig within 1 month.. so now.. i dont know what to do.. ???

Try to get up EARLY in the morning to study when your refreshed from a good night of sleep. Think about it! So, I started going to bed early and getting up around 4am or 5am and would study. It helped tremendously. After studying for a bit, take break or take a walk! Excercise also helps to retain information. Being test smart is also a help. By being test smart, I mean being able to pick out the KEY words. What are they asking for? Sometimes they will give you tons of information but in reality it is NOT important to the answer. Make sure you re-read a question if you are not sure! Look for thoes keys, they are usually there and many questions will have them hightlighted! Also, there are some words that are DEADLY to an answer. Words that are definite, like MUST, ALWAYS, EVERY. These words in an answer should be triggers that that response is not right! Inevitably, you get down to two answers that could be correct, re-read the question. I look for part of the question in the answer, usually that is the right one! The night BEFORE the test...DON'T STUDY!!!! Yes, you heard me! If you have been taking the time to study up to that point, give yourself a little break! RELAX!! Get a good night's sleep so you are refreshed in the morning. And one thing I was glad I did, was take someone with you to drive!! You will be anxious and not in tune with anything around you except that test. Luckily for me, my husband was on vacation the day I took mine and I am so glad, I was completly exhausted and very "numb" afterwards and glad he was there to drive me home! :) AND YOU WILL FEEL LIKE YOU FAILED WHEN YOU LEAVE!! Every single one of my friends and I all felt that way! HONEST!! So, don't be surprised! Remember, you know more and learned more than you think! :) Obviously, you have access to a computer. Find some disks to use to take the computer test. It really helps. It is not as comfortable as you think!! So practice on a computer too! I also used several NCLEX Review books to study with during school and for the NCLEX. The best ones I found were the two below. Lippincott's Reveiw for NCLEX-RN, 5th edition. This is a great book! I used it to study for test during nursing school and also to study for the NCLEX. Review Questions for the NCLEX-RN Computer Adaptive Testing, 8th edition by Sandra F. Smith. The quesitons in this book are hard! At least I thought so and they are very much like what you will see on the actual NCLEX. This will be a very good prep for the test.
