Yes, I can confirm this because I did it. First you need to ask the school if they are willing to allow foreign educated nurses to take certain classes from their nursing program. Then you need to...
Thanks for the sad and ugly truth. I was planning on doing what SoCalNurse88 did, but after 2 years of working as a nurse. That way, I would have both money to spend on the "make-up" course and the...
I'm a foreign grad currently licensed and working in TX as an RN, but I really want to go back to CA. I originally applied for licensure by examination in CA, but was denied because my clinicals were...
Thanks for taking the time to explain all that to me steppybay. I guess I've been lazy to look into each state/BON website. I will start doing more research as to which state would be a desirable...

I understand how hard it is to take the NCLEX in Cali. I just graduated this year from the Phil, and BRN slapped me with the darn concurrency problem when applying for the exam. Is this how it is with...
If what you say is true, then I would have no problem settling in the small, mid-sized cities. I just want a job, and unfortunately, I don't think I, or many of us graduates for the matter, have that...
Yes i understand. I've applied for VT a few weeks ago, but after hearing that they too have the same concurrency issues as CA, I may have to apply to other states, but we'll see. If i get another...
Wow thank you steppybay. That is some unfortunate news to hear. I might try your advice and contact that person. Hopefully though, she really could help me out. I kind of regret going abroad to get...
