As far as I know, CA BON is stringent when it comes to credentials especially for foreign graduates, hence, they only accept the transcript of records evaluated by CGFNS- CES. I suggest you contact them directly through email.

Yes, that’s the catch,they will tag you as inactive if you’re not presently living in the US.. What you can do is endorse it to other states where you may want to apply.. The important thing is you will have att for the NCLEX.. That’s what I did.

Hi, your case is a bit complicated, although being a U.S. permanent resident and having a SSN is an advantage, the fact that you got a BSN in the Philippines may delay your att because IELTS is a primary requirement for Foreign Educated Nurses taking the NCLEX.. Therefore, you should keep on trying to reach out to AZBN.. Since you already have access to the portal, use the mail system, they should be able to respond to you quickly.

Thank you,, The AZBN has a different code for the fp card, you can request it via their website, it usually takes 3-4weeks for the fp cards to arrive..

att is only good for 3 months.. Sorry for the long delay..

Hi Mr Marcky,  Curriculum and experience-wise, I would suggest Arizona (Azbn) since I did not have any problems with my application.. In addition, I find the staff really accommodating and helpful so that made it a lot easier for me to get my ATT.. However, Azbn requires a higher band in the Ielts academic whilst Texas is slightly lower , although they have the Nursing Jurisprudence (Texas) exam which is also a requirement before you can sit for the NCLEX. If you have an IELTS 7.0 in all bands, go for AZBN.. I haven’t been active for ages, so please, do message me if you have more questions.. Thanks!

Hello, creating an account on azbn.gov doesn't weigh much here, especially if you are a foreign educated nurse, I applied thru paper application,, please read the instruction packet, its all in there. Regarding the fingerprint card for criminal background check, I contacted them thru email to send it via post..

Hi, I think all fingerprint card can be processed by a law enforcing agency, I did my first fp card in Philippines, at NBI Taft main office for free with no hassle. Now that I am presently working in UK, I am in the process of endorsing my US license to another state, I went to the Philippine Embassy to have it sorted since they also process NBI clearance for OFWs, I submitted the fp card and was accepted by Identogo (Morphotrust USA,criminal background check agency for my chosen state). Hope this helps!

There should be a precise instruction included in the application packet for Texas, they have MorphoTrust /IdentoGo to do the background check which will cost you around $37. The link for the site is included in the packet, find the "Applicant residing outside Texas", choose the link given in that form.. Follow the instructions, and pay for the fee, you will be given a form that you need to submit along with your finger print card. All Fingerprints must be completed by a law enforcement agency only. Hope this helps

May I ask which Board of Nursing you are applying to..?

Have you send your BON application..? This should come first, otherwise nothing will happen with your application.

Hi Bia, I apologise for the delayed response.. May I know which Board of Nursing you are applying to? You have to know that each BON application varies from one another in terms ielts and document verification..

Hi,, I am still in the process of completing my application for endorsement.. :) sorry for the late reply.

Yes.. For foreign nurse applicants, Texas Bon requires a paper application for endorsement which you can download on their website.. í ½í¸ƒ I contacted AzBn and they told me to reach out to Texas Bon first thru email and ask for the process..

congrats! just wait for nmc‘s email.. í ½í¸€í ½í±Œí ½í±
