Q&A: Failing The NCLEX-RN, Retaking The Exam and more…

i have my license with me, do i need to authenticate it?or  is it ok if i notarize it?is that the same?

You can photocopy your license and just have it verified by PRC. Where are you going to use it? Sometimes you just need to provide the Board of Nursing a photocopy unless told otherwise.

Hi! Am just wondering if the board of registered nursing (CA) cashed your money order, does it mean that your application was approved??

Not necessarily. The fee you paid for is just for processing your application but that does not mean that your application would be approved.

hi joan, it’s eva again.  re: my niece who eventually decided to apply for the VT nclex, i think she stumbled on a problem.  i guess this is re: the PRC license.  in the meantime that she don’t have the license hard copy, can’t she not apply?  does VT really need the hard copy of the license as proof that she really is licensed in the Phil?  i think that’s the cause of the delay that’s why she can’t even file the application for VT…please help…thanks a million.

Hi Eva. Unfortunately, your niece has to provide a copy of her nursing license it is part of their requirement or else her application would not be processed. What she can do so as to not waste time is to apply for the CGFNS CES Report which is also part of the requirement for Vermont.

I studied is Manila from 1998 till 2000 for Nursing but did not finish the last semester due to family migrating to CA.  I went back to PI last year to finish my last semester and attend the augmentaiton classes and clinical rotation for almost 2 months to finish my degree.  After my submission to the CA BRN, there was a lot of question and doubts that my papers were a fraud and until today we are still communicating with the BRN and submitting other papers to prove the validity.

My question now is, if the licensing analyst has so many doubts about the schools from the philippines that she is already stereotyping and asking if I went to a small school in the Philippines, how do I escalate this issue?  Please advise.

This is the first time I have encountered such issue. Did you complete your nursing degree in the same school? If so, then maybe the school can then give the CA BON a letter proving you graduated from their school. Also, maybe a proof that their school is legitimate by giving you or the CA BON copies proving that they are approved by the CHED or whoever governing authority is in charge. That might be able to help out in terms of the credibility of your school. It might help also to explain the whole situation you were in that is why you were not able to complete your course right away. I hope this helps.

good am ma’am, i failed four times already and i graduated 2004. I am planning to give it a shot again next year. reason being i was busy at work as i serve in military. being the last test was 8 Oct 2007 , is there any change of rule that may barr me out for retakeing this NCLEX-RN? if so please sen me email.

First I would like to send my thanks for the service you are giving the US in protecting its freedom and democracy. I admire your bravery. With regards to your question, it depends on which state you applied in as each state has different rules when it comes to retaking the examination. Let me know which state you applied in or plan to apply to so I can help you out specifically.

hello mam joan.. i would like to ask about Credential Verification Service for New York State. I already passed my requirements yet my status was still incomplete. I applied with my friend yet I have 3 unreceived documents while my friend has 2. we did the same steps together even the day we mailed requirements.  I’m bothered because the application has an expiration day of only 90 days. I applied last September 13

Okay here is the thing maybe there was a problem when mailing the documents. Do you know which documents are not yet received? If they haven’t received it yet more or less they won’t receive it. When you sent those documents do they have tracking numbers? If yes, then maybe you could check the status of your mail and see what went wrong. The safest thing to do is request the needed requirements again and send it to CGFNS and if you did not use special courier try to invest on it the next time you mail documents. Its expensive but reliable. But if you had problems with the PRC documents it would be better to use regular mail than courier just based on experience.

un po bang reapplication n form eh 1 page lang? i passed it on n po s CA BOn last june p… how long would it take po ba b4 q malamn n ntnggp n nila un? same process p din po b nng waiting just like po nung first time q n mg apply? thanks po.

Yes it is just one page but did you include the reapplication fee? Usually it takes a month or two before you receive your letter of eligibility.
