Hi all, I'm currently a student at la inter. I've been trying to figure out if the CA board of registered nurses views Puerto Rico as international for the purposes of applying to take the NCLEX through them. In other words do we need to do the transcript validation etc. that they require of international students. I'd rather apply directly through CA rather than Wisconsin because I want to get it all sorted out while I'm still in Puerto Rico and not have to worry about transferring and contacting people here once I've left. I can't figure it out from their website. Thanks! PS The school offers relatively inexpensive (I think $30/night) short-term housing on campus. It's called Casa Carmona and you can talk to E. the counselor for the international students program about how to apply for it.

Students are allowed to work while in school and there are many students who work full time while in the program (I'm sure their lives are crazy busy). The fact that it is a night program makes working easier. It is difficult to find work here, though I'm sure it depends on your skill set and Spanish abilities.

The cost per trimester depends on the number of credits you're taking. The cost for my first trimester was $2,310 taking 10 credits. It's more expensive this trimester because I'm taking more credits, but I can't find the paper saying exactly how much.

The associates program at InterAmerican was approved for accreditation in the most recent round of accreditation

Thanks! I found the application on the CA BVNPT website. I'll check it out with my school after break. I'm still a little confused what parts of my RN schooling must be completed before I'm eligible, but I'll keep looking.

Hello all, This is my first time posting to the forum. I am currently a BSN student in an accelerated 2 year program in Puerto Rico. It is a trimester program and I am halfway through my second trimester. I'm trying to figure out at what point in my program I'll be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN exam. Ideally I'd like to work as an LPN in California this summer. I have a job lined up if I can get the license in time, but I just don't know if that's possible. I've been searching online but haven't found anything. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!
