I will start my orientation soon in a hemodialysis center and this is my first RN job. To all experienced nurses, please share any tips, what to expect and do's and don'ts. Thank you!

@kabulujug Hi! I have the same question, how many months did it take for NY to NV endorsement? I graduated in the Philippines too. Did they require you to challenge CGFNS exam? Thank you :)

hello! I just got my ATT for NY last week. It took me 6 months to process my application. Hope this helps!

hello there, did the ca brn directly tell you about the main reason in the issue? and is there already a memo concerning follow-ups on license renewal of filipino graduate nurses who are already working with ca license? please enlighten me. thank you

Guys, my application got denied last month. Sorry for the late update. CA BRN wanted me to take MS and OB again which will take 2 years. So I decided to apply in New York state. Good luck to us.

Hi guys, here is an update on my application I sent my OR & DR cases (with signatures of CI, clinical coordinator, chief nurse and dean) to CA BRN, copy of SScard & copy of local license. About the other requirements, my school directly sent a copy of -school curriculum (1st-4th year) -clinical rotation schedule (list of hospitals, dates and CI) -academic calendar -answered General Nursing Program Overview questionnaire (42 questions provided by CA BRN) and those were my final requirements. I'm sorry to say that I'm still waiting for my ATT. I believe that CA BRN received those last November 21, 2011 and that made me waiting for almost 3 weeks since they received those. I am still hoping that i can take my exam before the year ends. Good luck to us guys. I'll give an update when i get mine :)

From where are you? i'm still waiting for my ATT.

hey it's ongoing right now. We are posting questions and tips for nclex on that page :) just search Nclex Group Study

from where are you? I'm still waiting for my ATT :) you can search Nclex Group Study on facebook, we can share info there :)

I'm currently enrolled in Kaplan classroom anywhere 499$ which is good for 3 months. Kaplan doesn't focus on content but more on test taking strategies. Although they gave me a book (which is ok for me) and video contents in online syllabus, sometimes I still end up searching for unfamiliar drugs and terms. The questions are great and they explain correct and wrong answers. In NCSBN 50$ for 3 weeks, they explain the correct answer only. But they have comprehensive review on every module and post test at the end. bottomline, I prefer kaplan, maybe because I already took a comprehensive review in the Philippines for my local board. Good luck to both of us, i'm planning to take before the year ends but still waiting for my ATT :)

I received a letter from BRN weeks after I sent them my application. They are asking to give additional requirements not mentioned in their website such as: -copy of ur clinical rotation schedule for your cases: Assisted/Actual deliveries, cord dressing and major/minor surgeries -A complete school curriculum hundred pages or more sent directly from ur nursing school to the board. (the board doesn't accept the condensed version of the curriculum -a one page curriculum outline and academic calendar. (My school said this is the first time CA BRN required school curriculum but maybe different depending on what school) they also asked for a copy of my local license and SS number. I am also a Phil grad batch 2011 living in west covina CA :) still waiting for ATT, goodluck to both of us :)

hello there, where can i contact a Licensing Analyst? are they representative of BON? same problem here. BRN required me a copy of school curriculum plus other requirements. I am very sure that I'm not the first to take nclex from my school. Sad to say that my mom is doing all the work for my documents in the Philippines.

hi, you can reach me at [email protected] I also need a study buddy, I graduated this year at Manila :)

CA is getting strict on international nurses. Maybe you can write an explanation letter about local license, but I've heard that they really require a SS number. The last three reqs, you can ask your school about it. It's good if you have a copy of your OR & DR cases. Good luck to both of us ?

Yeah, I didn't expect to have additional requirements. I already mailed BRN some of it yesterday, and my school in processing the curriculum. I guess I'll just be waiting for few more weeks. Thank you ann. God bless :)
