I graduated with a BSN in the Philippines back in 2009, adapting to NCLEX was pretty intense so I ended up getting my license back in 2011. I postponed "quite a while" back and I'm finding it difficult to get a job. By the way, I'm living in a state ...

Whoa whoa whoa... I passed the NCLEX. It's active in Michigan but I live in Illinois. "Be licensed in the country of education" That's the requirement that I can't fulfill.

Aside from nursing licensure compact. Will any other state accept? I can't get my license here in Illinois though I'm a MI nurse. What can I get in Illinois with a MI RN license? Eventually I'd be forced to move but preferably not MI again. Any state...

"Licensure in the country of education" That's the sole reason why I'm not a nurse in Illinois. I finished in the Philippines and didn't take the local boards because I was never planning to work there. It's crazy because I'm already a nurse in one o...

I'm curious.. what happened to you? Did you go to Montana? I'm an American Citizen who finished my nursing in the Philippines and resides in Illinois. I think there was quite some leeway back in the past. like people say that get 2 years experience a...

Foreign graduates who's education differ from USA might want to do a lot of review on NCSBN NCLEX Review. NCLEX questions originate from them so it's a guarantee that you will be prepped for the hard questions.

It's the best nursing forum for everyone in the nursing field. Questions you want while waiting for that call hold on your state's BON... Is probably here.

You got me worried steppybay.... I graduated 2009 in the PH and passed my NCLEX 2011 at Missouri. And I DO NOT have a Philippines License, though CGFNS certified my credentials (CES) back in 2011 stating that it is equivalent to US course. I can't ge...

I'm here in Illinois and I'm trying to endorse (reciprocity) my license (Missouri/ Michigan) to CA because family is going to help me get into a hospital. All the info should be on their site (Board of Registered Nursing), or if you want the details...

After a long period of reviewing, taking the exam, and failing quite a few times. I became a Missouri RN. and that was great but here's the deal... graduated in 2009, became a RN February 2011, reciprocated to Michigan that same year, am a resident o...

Exactly what I was gonna ask, I hope someone still responds. Anyways like the subject says I too am a BSN graduate from the Philippines and would like to know if I can convert it to US BSN. I'm asking it again because I'm hoping I could get a faster ...

I was just there on the 25th scouting the area because I'm moving from IL to MO, I was kinda disappointed with St. Louis. A lot of it was undeveloped and there were a bunch of buildings closed or had no one going, specifically a few hospitals through...

I'm licensed at Missouri but Illinois is so strict about me requiring nursing license at country of education.. and of course that's not going to happen. I live here in Illinois so I want to work here. Question is, "If I work here in Illinois even no...

I was educated in the Philippines so thats what complicates it all. So no one heard about having the license endorsed because of employment at that state?

That seems like it. Thanks!!!

Just recently I passed the NCLEX under Missouri and I'm planning to endorse my license to IL. I was wondering if anyone knows. I asked Missouri if there's anything I need to do for them or any fees but I was just told that it's IL that should tell me...

so i'm quite confused of what i should do, should i work or not? but before you answer that please read my short story. just recently i found out that i did not pass the NCLEX and i got fired a month before the exam from a nursing home as a CNA, now ...

an ADN would not earn the same as a BSN. i suggest you go for what you got and then try to fit in the taking of BSN., BSN in the long run will be of huge benefit cuz its a step closer to masterals or advanced nursing

I'm a BSN graduate from 2009 and have been trying to get that RN license, actually a few days ago I found out that I didn't pass yet. It took me a long time before I took the exam because I worked as a CNA while waiting for my papers to get done. So ...

thanks chloecatrn. i was a CNA in the skilled unit, but the Nsg Home i came from doesn't really use those skills, ADL's are the only stuff we do. i guess that place was really bad that's why i don't wanna give CNA a try again, in a hospital here the ...
