Pls help me i need some advice and guide…i just graduated this mar 2009.i took the board exam and just waiting for the result….i am planning to apply for the nclex exam…could you help me on how to do it….though i read some from the internet…i am having a hard time to follow…i just want to have some advice coming from the expert and that is you… thank you very much…and god bless

Okay as much as I want to guide you through the whole process there are a lot of decisions to be made that I cannot make for you. For starters, please wait first for the June NLE results since most states will require you to have a license where you were educated and took up Nursing. If you passed the exam, decide which state in the US would you want to apply in and we’ll take it from there. Message me if you’ve made your decision and I’d be glad to help you with further information.

You can apply for that through the CGFNS website. You can also download the application form there and most of the instructions you need are in the forms you will be downloading. It basically uses CGFNS to evaluate your data such as school records, licenses etc.

how long does it take to get a reply after mailing an application for retake?

It depends on the state you applied in but usually give it about a month or two before you receive another letter of eligibility to take the NCLEX-RN examination.

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.

It would be best to resubmit the papers that the California BON is asking as opposed to questioning their demands. The best thing to do is to have the documents ready and then attach a copy of their letter with the needed documents. If you want to get in touch with them it would be better to give them a call as opposed to emailing because they usually do not reply in emails.

hi can i ask if how much is the amount you have to spend for the nclex exam without the help of the review centers? can i work in the US even if I only have volunteer experience in the Philippines? is it okay if I will not the CGFNS to work in the US? thanks hope to hear from you soon

Basic NCLEX-RN fees varies depending on the Board of Nursing you applied to since they all have different requirements. Let’s just say on an average application to the Board of Nursing will take about $300- $500 (this includes furnishing requirements for school documents, mailing etc.). And then registration to take the NCLEX-RN exam is $200 and if you are to take the examination outside of US there will be an additional $150 fee.  Pretty much that is the basic expenses incured when taking the NCLEX-RN examination. As for getting work in the US, preferences of having experience or not varies for each employer. CGNFS is not a requirement in all states so that will depend on which US state you plan to apply in. Hope this helped.
