  1. California Board of Registered Nursing now requires local NLE

    lawrence01 replied to arla's topic in Immigration Advice

    I think you must have mis-interpreted our posts. We never said that all must take the NLE no matter what. Non-Filipino Citizens were never allowed to take the NLE ever since, because the law only...

    lawrence01 replied to arla's topic in Immigration Advice

    lawrence01 replied to jbc76's topic in International Nursing

    Every Board will have their policy but if you already know that VT is able to accept this unlike NM, then why even bother trying to endorse or apply for initial licensure to NM ?? Also, not sure if...

  15. California Board of Registered Nursing now requires local NLE

    lawrence01 replied to arla's topic in Immigration Advice
