    CA BRN New Requirements For NCLEX RN international students

    zhapper2002 replied to brooklyn03's topic in Nurse Registration

    I think it is more unfair to say that if CA-BRN would've imposed their stricter rules & regulations, only newly grads and first time applicants should suffer. I mean, who wants to repeat certain...

    PVT trick

    zhapper2002 replied to obloom14's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There is a bunch of questions though it also contains some lectures, which is the most important part that you have to remember. Some sort of quick review / quick look.

    zhapper2002 replied to posh_888's topic in Nurse Registration

    You know what, you should talk to your dean personally. Your dean should know how to list the breakdown of your RLE and the total hours. Don't bother to talk to the lady who handle the requirements,...

    A bad pop up just simply means that when you re-register to pearson vue, it allows you to enter your credit card information.

    Etiquette question for Filipino nurses--use of Tagalog terms of address?

    zhapper2002 replied to ro'smom's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think there's nothing wrong if you call them Ate or Kuya but if your'e not comfortable in doing so, try to explain to them and ask them if it's ok for you to call them with their bare names. I think...

    Hi! :) In your case, since the exam that you took is for Vocational Nurses, BVNPT works quite differently compared to BRN. BVNPT won't post your name on their website not until you receive your NCSBN...

    Where did you get that info? What happened then? :) They should've talked with the CA-BRN 2 years ago during the height of increasing denied applicants. I hope there's something good that will happen...

    I tried the LVN route after being denied by CA-BRN in 2011. I asked my analyst to forward my records to BVNPT and got my eligibility after 6 months. I passed the NCLEX-PN last November 2012 and now I...

    Really? lacking 100 hours? for RLE? I mean, in our Philippine nursing program, we at least should have more than that of what's stated in the BVNPT requirements. It's kinda frustrating to know that....
