Is there any way someone can show me the steps to go about how to do this... If it's not too troublesome..

Thank you for the posts, at least now there's a little hope. Much appreciated.

I'm a recent graduate with a Bsn from the Philippines and I want to know if it's possible to challenge the California LVN board because of the concurrency issues when applying for the NCLEXRN. I want to know if anyone has had success on it and how exactly do it go about doing this. I am in a crisis right now and I don't know what to do. Should I just venture into something else because the CA BoN is making it really difficult. How do I challenge to take the CA exam to get an LVN license, if at all it's possible.. Thanks.

Thank you all for such valuable information. I might end up moving out of California and trying a different state. I have hopes that in time I will be able to practice what I worked so hard to finish. I have one question, I know of a clinical instructor from my school here in the Philippines who is now a n RN in New York. He has been there for about a year already. Is New York a good option? I'm thinking if he was able to take the NCLEX in New York within last year, should I consider New York? I don't know. Just a thought. All this information would have been helpful 3 years ago, when I actually considered not continuing. But anyways I am hoping optimistically. It's not the end if the world. Thank again for the information really appreciate it.

So what your saying is its a hopeless case, unless by some miracle the board changes their mind. That's such a downer... What if I do the Lvn to RN program? Or consider actually redoing the whole course in California, which would invalidate any achievement within the 4 years I spent studying not to mention my parents' investment. Is there no way at all? Maybe I'll just reconsider majoring in something else.. 

I completely understand your situation. I'm in a similar situation now. My mother is a Filipino but my father is American, I grew up in California also. I thought by granting my mothers wish to do nursing in the Philippines will be better than doing it in California... I'm graduating this april and sadly I just found out about CA BON being stricter now, I don't know what to do except fall back to my original plan of not doing nursing, however I grew to love nursing and now I am quite depressed about this news. I'm also planning on taking the NCLEX-RN in one of the compact states. Maybe considering moving all the way to Maine, or perhaps Nebraska.

Hello I'm a senior nursing student at a college in the Philippines, my mother sent me here to study nursing because its more affordable. I came to the Philippines 4 years ago hoping there would no problems with taking the NCkEX-RN with no problems, but now I'm a bit skeptical that I may have waisted my 4years in the philippines if I can't take the NCLeX anyways since California is being strict... What is the best thing to do, take the NClEX-RN in the philippines or take it in California anyways assuming they will grant me permission to take the exam. I don't know what to do. I've been reading blogs on the fact that BSN graduates if from the Philippines are being restricted because of concurrency of the subjects and clinical experience...I really need clarification.
