Thank you! Got some good information about applying for the NCLEX-LVN. :)

Hi! I am a registered nurse from the Philippines and is now in California. I first planned on taking the NCLEX-RN exam but from what I have read and heard, I will have to take some extra classes to be qualified to take the exam and that will cost more money and I don't want my parents to pay for it, so I want to take the LPN exam first and have a job to save for the classes that I have to take in the future. I would like to know how to apply for the NCLEX-LPN when I graduated BSN from another country. Thank you for taking the time to read it and I will be really grateful for any suggestions. :)

Hi! I passed the June 2014 Philippine NLE but now in Ca. I am now planning on applying for the NCLEX-PN (LVN) because I also don't want to waste money on applying for the NCLEX-RN and then end up not qualifying for it. Sorry for the late reply. :)

I'm a batch 2014 :)

It is only because my parents live there in California and I also considered on working in another state but my parents said "NO" immediately. I don't know what is in California but i might tell you what is in it once i started working there... hopefully :)

Hi! I'm a newly graduate from a nursing school in the Philippines and also, a US Citizen. I am planning to take the NCLEX in California. I have read some stories here in allnurses.com and decided to ask some of the questions that I have in mind.1. In what i have read in some thread, one problem is that they did not have their theoretical and clinical at the same time. Will it also become a problem to me if our curriculum is a new one where we are simultaneously given the theoretical and clinical in the same semester? 2. I have heard that the NCLEX requires applicants to have 5 DR, NICU and OR (Circulating and scrub) cases. But during our clinical exposure, we were only required to take 3 cases for DR, NICU and OR so now, i'm lacking 2 cases for each. What am I going to do :(3. I'm planning on taking the licensure exam here in the Philippines this May. IF I fail (please let me pass), will it be better for me to go back to California and send my application for NCLEX and wait for the reply mail and see what subjects/units i am required to take to be qualified to take the exam OR take the exam again on December? I just want to see some of my options :)4. What are the requirements for the NCLEX because i checked the www(.)rn(.)ca(.)gov and i got nothing THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Replies are much appreciated. =)
