I am a US CITIZEN, with SS card and a blue passport since I was born here in CA but was educated in the Philippines (CEBU). My problem was that I was found to be ineligible for the NCLEX. They replied this... " The courses on your transcripts and clinical records do not correspond to when the training was supposed to have been completed. We also show your clinicals were not completed concurrently. Concurrently means theory and clinicals are to be completed in the same semester. Your cases that should have been completed in N101 were completed were completed in N 104 and 105 and in May 2010. The major and minor should have been completed in N102 but were completed in N104 and 105 and in May 2010.. Because of these discrepaancies in your academic program, we cannot consider you eligible for the NCLEX-RN examination." They told me to be an LVN, or talk to a nursing director and complete an approved nursing program or apply to another state.. WOW. WHY NOW? I know some who were found eligible for CA BON. They should post something about this in their website because I think they just keep on receiving money and wasting people's time and effort. I am now looking up to apply to another state (NY , NJ or FL) since the CA BON is giving me no choice. I personally would find it insulting for them to say this. So what if I finished my Major case #5 two semesters after my previous cases..? as long as I did accomplish them.. It doesnt mean that I failed my MEd surg. My sister who is enrolled at Mount St. Mary's (in CA) found this also "odd".. Oh well, NY here I come!
