querry about taking the nclex exam

[kiarra]

hi! I'm a graduating student and my family told me not to take the local boards anymore. They suggested that i take the nclex instead. Is that actually possible? Or taking the local boards is one of the requirements to be able to apply for nclex?

Have moved your post from the Philippine forum, please re read the red banner regarding posting US inquiries in the International forum. Much has been written on taking the Philippine local boards and I suggest you have a read through the forum or try the search facility. You are not applying for NCLEX but licensure to be a RN in the US and currently all nurses are affected by retrogression and the process will take several years especially from countries where the demand is higher like the Philippines, China and India. Also these days no guarantee that you will get a visa
