Q&A: Applying for VisaScreen, Retaking NY Exams and more…

i jaz wanna ask if required na ngaun na rn k muna here in the philippines bago ka mkpag apply foir california nclex??? is it really necessary??? tnx a lot

There hasn’t been any official statement on this with regards to CA BON. But based on experience, with people applying in California they have been asking for proof of license in the country where you were educated. Like what I always say this would have to be a case to case basis depending on who will assess your papers.

good day ms joan.. i applied in new york but unfortunately i failed the nclex examination.. if i will be reapplying to take the examnination in the same state where will i start? will i pay for the reregistration and pay for the $200 and the exam fee of $150 only or should i start it all over again

How did you find about your result? Usually, when you get your result via mail there will be instructions on how you can retake the examination again. For the most part, usually there is a form for RE-EXAMINATION that you have to fill out and pay the necessary fees for the BON and then you wait for another eligibility letter then you can register with PearsonVue and pay the necessary fees.

hi, i just want to ask if it’s ok that my nclex bank draft was paid under may parent’s account? my parent’s name was the one written on the check? tnx so much

I guess that is okay. As long as the check was properly endorsed together with your application then I do not see any problem with it.

hi joan. ask ko lang about the payment. pwede ba ako ang magbayad on behalf of my sister application through check? im here in san francisco and nasa pinas yung sister ko and wala pa siya money so im the one that can pay her application.. how is that possible?

Yes that is possible. What your sister can do is send to you her filled out application and requirements and then you can be the one to mail it to the CA BON together with the payment. If she wants she can also use your address as her address so that correspondence from the CA BON would be faster.

Hi! I passed the NCLEX-RN exam last Dec. 2007 and IELTS last March. Hindi pa po ako nkakapagapply sa kahit anong agency and I don’t have a visa. My US license is in CA. What advice can you give me to beat the expiry of my IELTS which is in March 2009 and NCLEX which is in Dec. 2010? If I apply for visa screen on January, will it help?

Okay the IELTS main purpose is really for the VisaScreen so rather than having your IELTS expire you can apply for VisaScreen. You can also use your NCLEX results for the VisaScreen. Though the VisaScreen is a bit pricey its expiration is for 5 years and then you can have it renewed afterwards. Most agencies, also require you to have a visascreen so that can help you in finding an agency. Please take note that your NCLEX will still expire in 2010 despite being able to use it in the VisaScreen. The only way for your NCLEX exam not to expire is for you to be able to work in the US and obtain a SSN.

    hey joan. Is it advisable, if not beneficial, to apply for visa screen already even if you’re still about to take the NCLEX-RN and the IELTS? Thanks

    I applied for eligibility with the California Board of Registered Nursing and I was
    approved.

    I registered with Pearson Vue and was given my Authorization To Test. I called
    Pearson Vue last January 13 to schedule my examination and wanted it to be
    scheduled on “FEBRUARY 20, 2009″. Its only today (February 4, 2009) when
    I logged-in to my Pearson Vue Account that I realized they scheduled me to
    take the exam on January 20, 2009 instead of February 20, 2009. My status
    says “No Show.” Does this mean that I have to register again and pay the
    same fees?

    My financial resources at the moment is quite a dilemma and I am not sure if my
    parents would understand this.

    I hope you can help me with information on what to do. I am emotionally
    drained by this development and I would most certainly appreciate your
    assistance.

    Thank you very much in advance.

    hello! good day! I just would like to ask if both the IELTS and NCLEX certification does expire? I seek to be licensed in new york and I am waiting for my eligibility from the NY state board of nursing. I am scheduled to take the IELTS exam next week and I am having second thoughts since I have heard that the IELTS certificate should be used within two years.

    good day..

    I was able to passed the NCLEX last 2008.. And my state is California.. I am still here in the Philippines and still I dont have a license because I dont have the SSN.. According to the letter that I received, my application will be forfeited after 3 yrs if I will not be able to provide them the SSN..

    Others say to endorse it to Vermont because they are giving the license… How about to endorse it to New York?? are they also giving license even without SSN?? what is the best thing to do in order to halt the expiration of my application or my NCLEX??
    please help naman po.. Thank You
