Hi are you still in chicago today?

Thanks Redranger, I appreciate your opinion on this matter.:) It seems that one of those options I may consider but I have to figure it out first. You're right in saying about their website that is why it left me wondering. thanks again.

I get what you mean 5cats and I've read the packet couple of times already. All I'm asking is if their are other alternatives that I can do that maybe somebody did when they apply here in Illinois coz I know there are somebody who said that Illinois doesn't require Philippine license and their are also nurses who had been issued license here without having Philippine license. Some said that untill now that is still the case here so I assume that maybe they know something.I am already here in Illinois so I might as well take advantage of the situation. I just want to be sure that I do the right thing before jumping to another situation that is not necessary. Why do I have to go back to the Philippines to take the NLE if there are possibilities that I can be licensed here anyway???

thanks! SSN is the least of my problem coz I have ssn already. My problem is the Philippine license that is being required by Illinois coz I also have friends who took the NCLEX and got their license here without phil license. I don't know if this has been the rules here eversince or is it been change lately that they now require phil license. Please help....

Thanks for the reply:) but how come when I called Illinois BON they told me that they require a Philippine license and even ERES where I had my credentials evaluated told me that too? Do you have other sources that I can ask about it? Please help.. Thanks soo much.

Hi, I just want to know if Illinois BON accepts Nursing applicants who doesn't have a license in the Philippines.
