    steppybay replied to nursejashy's topic in Nurse Registration

    You should be okay with the CA BRN with regards to the enforcement (as of Nov. 2011) of the concurrency rules. It is NOT a new law by any means, it's been in the CA BRN policy since 1987. Since you...

  7. Taking masteral after passing NCLEX. Do i need job experience first?

    steppybay replied to lilypeña's topic in Philippines

  11. International BSN not recognized in California, to take ADN

    steppybay replied to trina_0918's topic in Nurse Registration

    steppybay replied to lilypeña's topic in International Nursing

    Why do you feel you need to take the MSN in the PH to soon be working in the US? If you already passed the NCLEX-RN, then just start the process for getting a job. I'm assuming that you already have...
