i knew of the recent vt denials and just as of yesterday my friend's letter of rejection from az, same as ca bon's reason.
let's all thank our ched, prc and pna for doing a "great" job of not meeting the states minimum educational requirements.
i'm sure that this will also affect other countries not just those from phil.

"ony those states that have explicit education requirements of concurrent theory and practicum will philippine nurses have licensure issues.
excellsior college new york nursing graduates have had same issue recently. see state board licensure requirements here
these are states having concerns over concurrent therory and practicum, so i would look at other 37 states to obtain license:
alabama
arizona
california
georgia
illinois
kansas
louisiana
maryland
north dakota
oklahoma
vermont
virginia
washington "
We can add Nevada as another one, but we have read of several others who did obtain their ATT, but it will get much harder for some as they recently (Jan. 2013) need to see proof of your local country's nursing license.
It was just mentioned by a poster here in late June, 2013 that NV has closed the application process for international students and nurses.
Here's a copy that was posted last year from a Phils applicant and showing the letter of denial due to her having the concurrency problem: https://www.dropbox.com/s/a8rfzr8jw2q8yvw/Anjinjan.jpg
