Silver: Thank you for the response! I think she may have a couple cases that weren't fully completed, but I'll check. If so, I'll try to have her work with the school to see how they can remedy it correctly. That really makes me nervous, but we'll see... Also, she'll be in California anyway, she might as well be trying to register properly to work here. I imagine she can always get a job doing something related while she waits... Or, at least, that's what I'm assuming. Steppybay: And thank you for the response! So, to be safe, it would be best for her to get her nursing license in the Philippines? she wants to, anyhow, so I suppose that will make her happy.

Hello Allnurses, i found this forum while looking for some help, but honestly I feel stuck in mud. My fiancé (well, Hopefully, soon to be fiance, but I digress...) is currently in her third year of nursing school. I would like her to be able to come over to California after she is done and have the best chance to find work. So, I have some questions, and I'm really looking for some guidance so that I can best help my fiancé to navigate the process. Do you suggest taking the board exam in the Philippines? My thought is that she doesn't need to, and only the US exam matters, since we'll be here for a while. How does one take the test? Does she have to apply beforehand? Is it a national test or is there a specific test or department in California? what kind of things should I be looking out for? I've already said for her to keep all her documentation, transcripts, cases, hours, etc. but I really don't know how to help beyond that. Not sure if this is even the right board or place to ask, but I figured it's worth a shot. Thank you for reading, and thank you for helping (if you try)
