Thanks for sharing! Gathering information on this topic is rather difficult. You are truly blessed for that outcome to had happen. í ½í¹

After not passing my NCLEX-RN in 2012, I re-applied for licensure and was denied. I recently completed the required classes of OB, Med-Surg and Psychiatric nursing. I had my transcript for my OB course verified and am currently waiting on my Med-Surg...

So I went to the CA BRN earlier and fortunately my analyst came out and took the time to speak to me. So I handed her my official transcript and she said she will process my eligibility as soon as possible! So it was definitely worth the time to driv...

Just received completion of my order for CGFNS and will be trying my luck with Hawaii RN. Will update on how it goes.

I applied with the BVNPT way back in 2010 after I graduated. I let that application expire then I re-sent my application to BVNPT last year. I recieved my eligibility right after I re-sent my application. But my ATT took quite a while to arrive. Arou...

For future-test takers I suggest to first off respect the exam. Passing this exam is what allows us to practice our profession. Without it we are unable to utilize the skills and knowledge we learned throughout school. Secondly, simply don't memorize...

I'm gonna keep doing my research on what programs are being offered around the Bay Area for IEN students.

@steppybay yes I have been following your posts and I am aware that the Board needs to confirm the course before considering applying to those schools. I am following the suggestion of my analyst who handled my case with the BRN. She suggested I appl...

I'm sorry I meant 2nd week of August, 2013. And I just got my results yesterday after the long weekend. Approximately 3 week wait. I don't know how to modify posts but I will figure it out once I have access to a pc. My license will arrive ~4 weeks ...

Update on my situation everyone. Took my NCLEX-PN here in CA 2nd week of October, found out today I just passed with 85 questions. I used Excell Nursing Review and I believe that coupled with my studying effort and prayer allowed me to pass. Now the...

Forgot to mention my deficiencies are in Med-Surg, Psych and OB. So I guess that's all of them. Should've passed the NCLEX-RN the first time. Now I'll probably be stuck as an LVN forever. Too bad with this BSN we don't have too many options in terms ...

I am taking this route as well after failing the NCLEX-RN the first time. I am currently studying for the NCLEX-PN as I got denied by the BON last month for a repeat/reapply examination. Already have my ATT for the NCLEX-PN so just need to schedule a...

I went to an international school because I could not afford to go to college in the United States. I don't want to blame my school for not passing, others have taken the exam once and others more than once. I still don't get how I can qualify and th...

You might feel appreciation. I just feel ****** off. I wasted 4 years of my life for a piece of paper that say's I have a Bachelor Degree but it is not acknowledged by the state I was born and raised in. I feel cheated. I took the Nclex once already ...

As another option I also have considered proceeding to get my MSN as Lilmissmayshine and steppybay suggested but I believe you already have to an active RN license in order to gain acceptance into those programs. That is what I have seen from my limi...

Yes I do understand that. Since I have not submitted the requested documents, I still have not been officially "denied" re-application to the nclex-RN. If and when I do get denied that is when I will take the appropriate measures to re-qualify myself...

I am also born US citizen that completed BSN course in the Philippines. applied for Nclex RN in 2011, took the nclex RN in 2012 and did not pass. Re-applied a few months after and the BON requested documents pertaining to my clinical rotation schedul...

I actually don't blame the older folks for making generalizations about "younger" folks. Most of the time, although uncalled for, their statements are fairly accurate. Newer generations have it a lot easier in terms of access to information. Anything...

Well what's done is done. We have an "almost" Bachelor's degree in Califrnia lol. I'm sending my application for my NCLEX-PN tomorrow. I still haven't sent my additional requirements for my NCLEX-RN though. I will wait for a while before sending that...

I have to admit during my time in the Philippines, the Nursing schools were PACKED with students! In my first year of college there were 2500 of us and that number steadily decreased until 500 of us graduated during my batch of '09. Other nursing sch...

I understand your point but look at this way it's their rules. We have to play by their(CABON) rules. Instead of lingering on the problem, let's try and solve it! A lot of internationally educated students are affected by this not just Filipinos and ...

The laws have been in place for a long time. Let's use the concurrency as an example. Board of Registered Nursing - Title 16, California Code of Regulations look at letter d. and at the bottom of that section look at the dates. HISTORY 1. Amendment o...

Yes I have been following this thread. I've looked at A LOT of threads on this topic and have seen firm1234 mentioned. At this point I think our only option would be to apply for NCLEX-PN. If all nursing courses in the Philippines are similar, I'm pr...

And we made a mistake. Blindly following a school system that guaranteed licensure in a foreign country without properly investigating whether said course will actually qualify us. So? Have you never made mistakes in your life? Maybe instead of criti...

BTW this thread is not to condemn us for completing a 4-year Bachelor program in a foreign country. I believe the OP's intent is to shed light on whether there are available classes so WE can comply to the minimum requirements of the BON. If you want...
