hi.. i was planning to take the licensure for RN but i’m confused about what state should i apply. i was wondering if IELTS is required in order for me to work as a nurse in California?.. i am a greencard holder &a grad BSN in phili.. But i don’t like to take IELts. Can you pls give me list of the states that doesn’t require IELTS..

California does not require you to take the IELTS examination. There are so many states it would be too arduous to enumerate all of them. The thing is you should choose to take an exam in a state where you intend to apply to as opposed to trying to prevent a certain state because of a particular requirement. That way, it also saves you time and money.

hi ma’am.. i just want to comment on this one..
1st envelope includes

* application form
* fingerprintcard
* payment
* photocopy of board rating certification
* photocopy of diploma
* explanation letter

why is it that a photocopy of diploma is included in the 1st envelope? doesn’t it belong to the 2nd envelope together with all school requirements?
i’m really confused… please help..

Most of the time they confuse the requirement of a license/ diploma in where you were educated. Most people assume that it pertains to your BSN degree diploma when in fact they are asking for your diploma/ license that allows you to practice being a Registered Nurse. So technically, your college diploma is not a requirement either way.

please, can anyone tell me how to retake the nclex exam in NY? i took the exam last feb and i failed and i want to apply for a retake and i can’t find anywhere how the process works. do i have to start all over again? cos i called NY education department and she said i should call peasron vue for another schedule and pay $200. but pearson vue said i should contact first the state department. help. thank you.

Usually, the state board where you applied in would have a form for re-examination in which you would have to accomplish some forms and pay fees. After that, they will send you another ATT and that is the time you re-register to PearsonVue to sit for the examination.

I Just have some queries about the process for visa screen.By the way, I don’t have any idea on how to process my papers. I already have my NCLEX but I don’t have my IELTS yet(probably, I will take my exam on the last week of may or early in June)but can I already process my papers even I don’t have my IELTS? Another is, If I’m already on the process of my papers and I want to transfer my license in other states, can I do that without affecting my papers or do I need to start all over again for my visa screen? Hindmost, can u give me some website which discusses the step by step on how to obtain a visa screen.

You can apply for VisaScreen even without the IELTS temporarily but eventually you would have to take the IELTS examination to complete the processing of your papers. I don’t think that you would need to reapply for the VisaScreen even if you transfer your license to another state. Because either way you have already passed the examination. CGFNS has their hand out in which you can download which pretty much explains the process. If you have any other questions feel free to ask them here on the site and I’ll try my best to answer it.

hi maam i just want to ask kng ilang days po bago dumating ang result ng nclex(California po ang inapplyan ko) i took the exam last april 27,2009 ung mga kasama ko sa review na ng exam g april 21 and 22 meron na silang result after 15days… is it true na kpag within 15days wala pa ang result u bagsak kana?pls do reply..huhuhu tnx so much

The number of day where you receive your result is not a determinant on whether or not you passed the examination. Please bear in mind that there are a lot of things to consider like the mailing time etc. Usually it would be safe to wait for the results for at least 3- 4 weeks from the time you took the examination. After that, maybe you can give them a call to follow up the status of your examination results.

Hi mam!I just want to ask if I really have to take my ielts first before I can be eligible to take the nclex for the state of Illinois.I recently passed my cgfns exam kasi mam and nagapply ako ng nclex ko with the help of NEAC(nurse exam applicatio letter)they told me that I need to take my ielts first so that I can have my cg cert. which is very important for me to be eligible to take the nclex exam.

You need to take the IELTS in order to get your CGFNS Certificate. And prior to applying to Illinois you would need that CGNFS Certificate in order to process their papers.
