hi ms. joan … just want to ask some question ,or anyone out there guys…if ur familiar with this form “REQUEST FOR REAPPLY/REPEAT EXAM”… coz im quite anxious abt filling up this -
LAST EXAM APPLIED FOR: month / year   LAST EXAM TAKEN: month / year

for example I took the exam last oct.10, 2008 is this correct?
LAST EXAM APPLIED FOR: October / 2008   LAST EXAM TAKEN: October  / 2008

pls correct me if im wrong…thanks a lot! ^_^

I am familiar with the form. Please take note that you will just fill out this form if you are to RETAKE the examination. If this is your first time applying to the Board there is a separate form. Last exam applied for means when was the last time you submitted your application. As for last exam taken place the month and year when you last took your NCLEX-RN examination. So it is not possible to have the same date for both.

hi! help please! paano gumawa ng letter of explanation for not holding a license. wala pa kasi ung license ko eh..thank you po

You can view my sample letter format at the link given. But I suggest together with the letter pass an original copy of certificate of passing from PRC as proof.

Hi. I hope you could help me. Can I be the one to send the requirements needed from the school (such as the TOR, breakdown, etc.) together with my application form (as in all in one envelope)? Because the school gave everything to me including an envelope with the name of my school and a signature. And about the application fee, does that mean that as soon as I have mailed my application form to California, I should also pay the fee using credit card? Thanx a lot in advance.

You CANNOT mail together your application form and school forms. I know a lot of schools in the Philippines do not offer mailing service so what you can do is have all the school requirements place in a sealed envelope and have them sign on the flap of the envelope or place the school seal. Then have it mailed but make it appear that the school is the one mailing the documents. You have to inclued all the fees when you submit your application. I do not think they accept payments via credit card. You can pay them via bank draft.

hi I need help. I am taking the nclex this coming december. My current address is in los angeles but I will be moving to Philadelphia the day after my nclex. I want the results of my test to be mailed to my new address then. How would I inform the board regarding this matter? pls help me. thank you very much.

They have a change of name/address form which you can print by clicking on the link provided. Fill out all the necessary information and inform them that you do not have a license number yet and are just about to take the exam thru a letter.

dear Ms.Joan, I am spreading the word about your site:) Ma’am I have another inquiry. I just received a letter from Cali-BON that upon initial evaluation i need the to send the ff requirements: 

• 1. Copy of NURSING LICENSE from the Philippines.
• 2. Copy of NURSING DIPLOMA from the Philippines.
• 3. TOR
• 4. RLE
• 5. Educational Breakdown

With regards to nos. 3, 4 and 5. My school will be sending them on December 5. My problem is nos. 1 and 2. I sent them a letter of explanation together with an original copy of my Certificate of Board Passing and Certificate of Board Rating. Why are they still asking me for my license/diploma.

I also read from this site that nursing diploma is the certificate of registration from PRC and not the school diploma. Then what is the nursing license? is it the ID? ma’am thank you again. I know that you will be able to shed light on these things.

Wow this is a first because usually the certificate of passing suffices. Like what I always say  the evaluation is a case to case basis it just so happened that the evaluator wanted these documents from you. So the only thing you can do is provide it for them. As for item #1 this means they want a copy of your actual PRC license. And for the #2 item they might be pertaining to the certificate PRC is giving when you become a RN or your BSN diploma from your school. To be safe I would suggest giving a copy of both of those diplomas. Also, make sure when submitting these documents you attach a copy of the letter that they sent you so they know what those things are for.

Thank you for spreading word about the site. I really appreciate that. I hope I have enlightened you on your dilemma and feel free to drop by here and comment if there are any more problems. Would love to hear updates from your application God bless and good luck!
