Please be advised that effective July 1, 2009, the Vermont Board of Nursing requires CGFNS-CES certification prior to taking the NCLEX-RN. Please beware also that the State of California requires a Social Security Number (not our local SSS) prior to ...

Exactly!!! When I was in the 1st year of my nursing school, my dad underwent his second operation for colon cancer. Since it was an "open & close" case, we were left w/ no hope of seeing him out of the ICU. The last 3 weeks of his life was a mise...

I have to disagree with you on this. Things are a lot easier now for foreign applicants because there are only 14 states that now requires CGFNS Certification Program. And I can't find anything difficult in any of the step in the application process,...

There are cheap hotels around the testing site, but im referring to the quality, not the fare But there are a lot of pensionne houses in Vito Cruz extension and Kamagong, which are the nearest residential/commercial area from Trident Towers. I think...

NCLEX, just like any national licensure exam in any country, evaluates your skill, knowledge, and attitude. Review materials are there to help you refresh your knowledge. Read and understand your Saunders review book (it's a good one), go back to you...

again, nclex application centers are for nurses who are too lazy to "deal w/ the hassle". if they can't deal w/ the hassles of processign their licensure, then they ought not to get one. if they made too mistakes filling up an application form, the...

Eligibility - this is issued by the board of nursing to inform you, the candidate, that you've met the requirements of the state. Some BON will just email you that you can now register with Pearsonvue. Pearsonvue Registration - You may do this onlin...

"Applying to a state "just to get in" is a very bad idea." -- I have to admit it is wrong, but not a bad idea. Thousands of Filipino nurses who are now in the US applied did this , except for those who were sponsored by the recruiting hospital, or ag...

It is located in Paseo Center in Makati. As I said, review your clinical skills & knowledge cause there will be a clinical assessment. Good luck to all!

hahaha! i am beginning to think you are one of them but that's okay. i wish they will advise the nurses to try states other than california.

The instructions for NCLEX application are fairly simple as well as with CGFNS CES, CP, and VisaScreen. Any college graduate, should be able to follow those. Yes, they may be able to save a few hundred for the bulk courier, but there are no "bulk" ba...

It is possible to outsource UR Nursing and Case Management? If I am a foreign nurse, with a Vermont license, is it possible for me to practice as a UR nurse or CM nurse in my home country while working in an health care outsourcing company?

Yes it is a new field, and the possibilities (and repercussions) are challenging. The Philippine company is URAC accredited, and it is during the accreditation process that I began to ask questions about the future of this field. I hope someone can e...

i am sorry to disagree with you. these nclex processing centers are for nurses who are lazy enough to ask question first before actually doing something about it. there are banks such as pnb and ucpb that will allow you to buy bankdrafts for $5-8 per...

ps: just make sure that you have completed the 30 continuing education units required before submitting your renewal form.

The bankdraft should be made payable to BRN. The board has two addresses, one PO Box, and a physical address that you will use. Check out their website for there are details that you will need to enter in filling up a courier form.

i wonder if ncsbn has any regulation about this? maybe it is time to discuss about the future of telephonic nursing. 'cause as far as i know, this type of nursing practice has reached the philippines.

You are right, NJ does not require SSN prior to license issuance. However, you have to undergo CGFNS-CES evaluation, and they only accept TOEFL for English proficiency.

There are state boards (such as Oregon) that can grant you a valid active license. The process is not called "Endorsement", some states call it Licensure w/o Examination. If this is what you are going to do, then I will suggest you apply for a VisaSc...

Please ask the CNMI (Saipan) Board of Nursing for a list of their accredited CEU providers. If you will enroll in a CEU course (starts at $20 for 30 CEUs) that is not accredited, your license will not be renewed. The NCSBN (http://www.ncsbn.org) offe...

There is a call center in Makati that hires local nurses and NCLEX passers. The pay is the same with contact centers but you will be able to practice your profession. And of course, an NCLEX passer gets twice as much as what a local RN receives :) If...

You will have to call the PearsonVue Asia-Pacific Number at 603.8314.9605. Please make sure that you have enough credits because the call will take more than 10 minutes and make sure that you have your ATT with you. Please remember that this is an i...

I will advise you not pursue your NCLEX application in California if you do not have a US Social Security Number. The CA board will not issue you a license w/o it even if you passed the NCLEX. You will have 3 years to secure one, otherwise they will ...

I am an RN from the Philippines, and I am very interested with forensic nursing. Since such course is not offered here, I am hoping you can help me find an institution where I can get Forensic Nursing education online. Thank you!

Please do a research on the performance of nursing schools before you enroll. The November 2008 board exam for nurses (NLE) showed a +56% failing rate. Please check the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) or Professional Regulation Commission (PRC)...
