Q&A: Incomplete Requirements, International Reviews and more…
SHINE
im glad to see ur website and it is so nice of you to help us your fellow nurses..
i have certain concerns and hoping you could help me..
Thank you so much for the kind words. I’m just glad I am able to help our fellow nurses. Now on with the answers to your queries 
first: is it true that if I will apply for New York NCLEX-RN i must get CVS first and wait for it for about 7-8 months? is it really that long? then after that i will have to wait for another 4-5 months for eligibility?
Yes it is true that you need the CVS to apply for NCLEX-RN in New York. You can apply to the New York Board of Nursing and then at the same time apply for the CVS since they would be the one to forward the results to the NY Board of Nursing. As for the waiting time, that I cannot vouch for but you can always check the status of your application with them online.
second: if i will apply for CA NCLEX-RN and fortunately i will passed it, is it possible that i could apply and get a job at NY instead? how?
You would have to transfer your license to New York and you would still need to fulfill their requirements in order to transfer your license.
i will appreciate any information that you could give me.. thank you! God Bless!
Hoped this helped and let me know if I can help you with anything else.

hi ms. joan… may alam po ba kayong review center dito sa san diego california for nclexrn na nagoofer ng one month review?kasi po puro 3 days or good for one week lang ung review na parang seminar lang po…
So far the reviews I have taken there were 3-4 days lecture. At first, I had my reservation as well but I eventually availed of Sally Lagerquist’s review which was for four days only but was very efficient. You can always go for Kaplan which I think have longer review days but of course are pricier.

mam… i’ve just received a letter from Cali BON and asking me to send them:
1. a copy of my nursing license. does this means that i will photocopy my license (and have it notarized)and send it to them, or are they refering to board ratings from PRC?
Just a certified photocopy will do. Have the photocopy of your license certified by PRC.
2. a copy of my nursing diploma(where will i get it? ‘coz some said it is issued by PRC,some said it is the school diploma)…. am i going to send them the original copy or photocopy only of my nursing diploma?
To be safe, just provide them a copy of both and have it certified by your school and PRC.
thanks for the wonderful heart that helps…God speed!
Glad to be of help

hi to ms joan…the BON just replied to me and they’re asking me to provide a copy of license but i already gave them a copy of my diploma and an explanation letter stated all the reasons and i also included my board rating and certification from the PRC..what do u think is the problem and the solution for this…hope to hear from you soon…thanks and god bless
Provide them with your license I mean as much as you have provided them with almost all documents you cannot argue with them. So all you have to do is provide them with a copy of your license and have it certified by PRC for additional precaution on your part. Hope this helps.

hi ms joan! thank you for answering my concerns..
now, i have some questions that i need your answers.. i hope you could help me again.. 
you know, i heard some hearsays about getting the license in CA might be difficult.. dba you need first your SSN before they provide you the license?!.. then they would allow you 3 years 4 that,. my question is, if i decide to transfer my license to another state, is it possible that my 3 years allotment time will be affected? and how is the process of transferring goes? is it much easier if i will find an agency to do that?
i hope you could answer all my concerns.. thank you very much! have a nice day! god bless! ;p

hi ms. joan. i received a letter from the cali BON stating that i should send them the clinical portion of my RLE. my school submitted the TOR and RLE already, and the RLE is on the 3rd page of the TOR. how do i tell them that it’s already attached? because i don’t know what else they’re looking for, i have another copy of my TOR and the RLE is the same as the one the school submitted. i really need help because i thought my application would be processed in a timely manner since i submitted complete requirements. can i email the cali BON or snail mail them? thank you for your help in advance.

hi ms. joan, i got a letter from BON in california and stated that i submitted an incomplete requirements. i need to send them a copy of my TOR, RLE, RLE breakdown and certified true copy of my diploma. i thought there’s no need to send a certified true copy of my diploma since i provided them a copy of my license? anyway, do i have to attach a personal letter to the documents they were asking? or just send them the documents to complete my application without any letter? hoping to hear from you ms. joan. and thank you so much! God Bless! i am so desperate to finish this application process. take care then..
