RECIPROCITY to California - RN Graduate from the PHILIPPINES

World Registration

Published

Hello all,

I am a BSN graduate from the Philippines, and an RN there and in New York.

I'm sure you guys know that international BSN graduates has not been getting through the California BRN since year 2010, because of the issue that foreign graduates (esp. from the Philippines) lack units during our college / Nursing years. This said, I know zero of my colleagues who applied to take the NCLEX got their ATT, since o'10.

I recently applied to have my license in New York endorsed to California, and noted that one requirement they had is that I must provide my college transcripts from where I graduated (again, in the Philippines).

I am currently in CA, but I am thinking to just move to New York, if I am only waiting for my application to get rejected because I lack units, or cases/caseloads.

I'm looking for someone with the same case I am in, or who was in the same case.. Please help me, should I just go to New York? :( :( :(

Hello,

I need to re-take NCLEX? I was informed that NCLEX scores doesn't expire.. you just need to endorse it to another state.

Thanks a lot for this reply. I graduated in Philippines April 2010 and currently worjing as LVN here in California. I just recently applied for eligibility to take NCLEX RN in NY but my documents is still in process by CGFNS. When i applied here in CA for nclex RN they require me to take MS/OB. I was confused if i should start taking class or to wait for the evaluator first if they're willing to accept my license endorsement from NY to CALIFORNIA incase I pass NY NCLEX

It's just that I don't want to regret and pay student loans. I think It's best for me to pass the NCLEX RN in New York first then get it endorse here in California to be certain If i really needed to repeat MS/OB course.

ok, This is more information than in your other thread. If CA have already said you need to make up the hours then it will not change when trying to endorse.

Hi mary25, I graduated in Philippine last 2008 and passed the license 2019. Currently I am CA-LVN here. Just try to apply for NCLEX-LVN. I did and luckily passed. More likely they will approved you since you graduated in Phil with BSN.

you can work in California without a California RN license. Working for a federal agency is your key.

Remember though to work federally you usually are required to be a citizen.

Hello guys! I am currently processing my nurse licensure by endorsement. I am a graduate from the Philippines last 2005. BON has asked my university for a list of my "scrubs" (operations/deliveries). Unfortunately, my school has no copy of this anymore. Is there still any chance for my application to be approved? Any experiences or insights regarding this issue are more than welcome. Thank you!!
