uhm.. hello there! Im just a little confused about sending the applications. I have read in your older articles that it would be faster if I asked someone from the US to send my application…

The address in my application is from the Philippines. The address I will be using to send the letter to the BORN will be from the US. Will this do? Will I still receive my ETT?

I think it would be better to use a single address in all the forms just to prevent any conflicts. And when I said faster I meant the mailing time whether you have a US address or not does not affect the application process itself. And what you are waiting from the Board of Nursing is not your Authorization To Test (ATT) but your Letter of Eligibility (LOE).

Lastly, the Breakdown of Educational Program and Transcripts letters… My school does not mail these letters for us. We have to mail it ourselves. Why cant I just staple the application, and these envelopes and have them sent together in the US(mailed by a family member) instead?

Because these forms should be coming from the school NOT from you. If you mail it together with your application form they will just deny your application and ask you to send another one coming from your school. But since a lot of school does not offer mailing service what you do is mail it in behalf of the school (so technically you mail it using the school’s address). Just make sure you have all the documents in a sealed envelope with the school registrar’s signature and or pressed with the school seal. Of course the Board of Nursing would also want to prevent any form of falsification of documents that is why they want the school to send those forms directly.

There’s also the matter of the fingerprint card. I was born in LA, CA. Is there a code for that? And the Race. Asian decent: AZN or Asian?

In the instructions that comes with the application form they have no specific abbreviation for race only for the color of eyes and hair. And also instruction to use pounds for weight and height should be expressed in feet and inch. As for the place you were born just write the city and the state where you were born.

Im done with almost all of the requirements. Jst the mailing thing that bothers me a lot.

Good luck with the application and let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.

hi maam…ask ko lang po sana na eprint ko na lng po ung ATT ko that I received through email taz un po ang ipresent ko sa testing center.taz ano po mga tatanungin pag nagpaschedule na po ako so that I can be prepared po.tnx po

If you received your ATT via email then you would need to print that and present that together with your passport when arriving on your test day. When scheduling, just be ready with your basic information as well as your ATT and passport information. I am not sure how you would pay for the extra $150 for scheduling an exam outside the US but if ever they accept credit cards be ready with the information of your card as well.

I ust wanna ask, what kindd of Visa I need to aplly if i Decided to take the Nclex in US and hows the process.?? Thanks and Godbless!!

I am not sure if there is a specific visa you can apply for just to be able to take the NCLEX exam. I think it would be better to inquire with a travel agency who are more experienced about such process.

Hi mam Joan, ask ko lng po yun about sa fingerprint card. I wrote down BLACK instead of BLK dun sa HAIR and EYES section. panu po kaya yun? thnx po more power!

I am just concerned that they gave out specific instructions for such. So if it is not yet too late I think it would be better to have it changed rather than sending it over and then later on have it sent back to you again. The thing is the fingerprint card would be sent out to different agencies there so if they give out specific instructions I think it should be followed.
