Q&A: IELTS Score, Lacking Requirements and more…

MARICEL0981

Hello Ms. Joan I Hope all is well with you. Anyway, I really need your advise.. I’m a US Citizen and i just finished my nursing degree in philippines and now i’m planning to take a nclex exam here in california but i haven’t take the PRC exam in philippines. Please Advise Thanks.

Here is the thing if you are a US Citizen the PRC might not allow you to take the PNLE. But the best thing is to verify with them if they would allow you to sit in for the exam. The reason for asking is that sometimes when you apply for California they still ask you if you have license where you took your nursing degree. But then again this is a case to case basis. You can always explain your case if in case they ask you why you do not hold a license in the Philippines.

hello, will it matter if in my eligibility letter i was addressed as MR. instead of MS. , i think i mistakenly placed M in my gender instead of F ?

You have to inform the Board of Nursing where you applied in. That might be an issue when you take the examination.

hi. ask ko lng po on how will i renew my CA-RN license.. my license was released because i send the BON a TIN. but i received a letter that i should renew my license with a SSN which i dont have because i only have a tourist visa

You would have to verify this with the Board of Nursing since I know that they have made some changes with regards to this. The best thing to do is to inquire with the BON.

Hi..can you please help me I have my license in California and i want to make an edorsement to Washington State. I’m having a hard time doing that. Do I still need to request for finger printing card? Im in the philippines now. Please help. and Ms. Joan do i need finger printing card? Could i just request for that in Washington State since i’m here in the Philippines?

First thing to do is to download or request from the Washington State the endorsement form. Usually when they send you a copy of the application it comes with the fingerprint cards. If not there is usually a part of the site wherein you can request for fingerprint cards and then have it accomplished here.

hi..just recently discover this site and at the same time just preparing my papers to apply..my questions are: is it true that vermont just recently changed its rule on applying for nclex just this july09? so i decided to shift to cali..does it require breakdown of course description frm school and how will i know if i have some problems on my papers upon passing to them?thanks God bless…

Yes Vermont just changed its requirement. They now require CGFNS CES evaluation. California has forms for the school to be accomplished and that includes the Breakdown of Nursing Education which is provided when you download the application. If ever there would be problems with your application the CA BON will contact you via mail  for any issues.

Maam Joan, Good day! I have concern and worries with my NCLEX application. The BRN had not responded to my letter through fax. I delegated one of my relatives in the USA to follow up my application status. I filed my application last October 2008. I’ve received an initial letter from BRN telling me that I lack my school documents. Until now August 2009, I have not received any letter from them regarding what’s the problem with my application. I called my school that they already sent my documents. I’m worried because few months from now my application will be abandon. What should I do? We’ve tried everything. Calling them was kind of hard. That’s why we sent through fax.
Maam Joan, I already took my IELTS. Could u evaluate my score?
Listening- 6.5
Reading -7.0
Writing -6.0
Speaking- 6.5
OBS- 6.5
Is there any country that would accept me as a nurse? not as a student visa. Hoping to hear from your advise
Well you cannot argue with the CA BON if they think that you lacked ypur school requirements all you can do is to provide them again with the said documents. This time around, instead of the school sending it you can send it yourself just attach a copy of the letter they sent you and just make sure that the school documents needed are placed in a sealed envelope with a signature of your registrar.
As for your IELTS grade it would be hard to enumerate everything. But to be safe I think you would have to have an overall band score of 7 and at least 7 in all areas. But verify first with the country you intend in working in as the grade requirement varies from eacn country or state.

hello… i have a few questions regarding the nclex registration. this is my first time and i really have no idea how to start..im hoping for your guidance. please do help me.. thanks..
First you need to decide in which state you want to apply in. From there you can download the application form in the state you intend to apply in. Most of the instructions needed are in the forms when you download it. If there are any further clarifications in applying you can always post a question here and I’ll get back to it as soon as I can.

    Hi Ms, Joan

    was wondering what site i can visit to check if i can get a finger print card for Washinton State so i can do my endorsement. By the way they are asking me about AIDS Education and Training Attestation. Where can I possibly do that or have it done here in the Philippines? Please help
