I just read topics related to my questions and your statement is clearer to me. I have heard and read about all thes but I am just in a state of denial until now that they will deny my application. Lol. But yes, it is a very sad fact. My question now is...how much of a guarantee to be approved if you take courses here in CA?

Hi! I'm just confused...what do you mean by "same EXACT semester"? If it is literally in one semester of the year, that is very impossible to complete that. Theory courses can't be taken in one semester alone, much more the clinical scrubs if that's what you are referring to. Please correct if I understood your statement wrong. But I started doing my clinical rotations/scrubs (minor,major, handle, assist and circulating deliveries) since I was in 3rd year (2nd semester I believe) and finished it until 4th year. I had friends who took NCLEX in CA with no issues but that was before CA BON changed policies and requirements. Thank you for sharing ideas, much appreciated and looking forward to hearing more from you!

So it's just some states require CES and TOEFL and CA is not one of them, correct? Thanks for your input!

Hi everyone! I am new here. I just wanted to share my situation and I need some feedback and suggestions. I am a graduate of BSN in the Philippines batch 2008, practiced nursing in our country for more than 2 years and came here to CA last February thru fiancé visa. I am now a conditional permanent green card holder and I also have my SSN. I have few questions which some I have read on this and other websites yet I got plenty of different answers. So my questions are: Do I still need to take current courses before applying for NCLEX here in CA? Do I need to apply for CES/CGFNS? Is TOEFL also a part of the requirements? Those are my few questions so far and I honestly have no clue on how and where to start. Thank you so much!!!
