Have a question.Made a mistake in the year of graduation and started school with pearson. how to correct it and is that a problem? should the school itself contact them on my behalf?? Thanks

I’m not quite sure if I got your question correctly did you mean that you had it wrong just in Pearson or even in your application in the State Board? Either way you should inform them ASAP just so they can update your records and not have discrepancy on both. The school should only contact them if they were the one who made a mistake on your forms.

may i ask po miss joan? pwede po bang mag pa endorse sa arizona kahit di ka US citizen? sa cali po ako nka register eh.. nalilito na ako po talaga and i have all my requirements ready na.. please help po..ty!

The question is have you already submitted documents for California? If you have submitted already then you must continue your application to California until you pass the NCLEX-RN before you endorse to Arizona. The only way you can endorse to another state is when you already passed the NCLEX-RN exam. Also please bear in mind with the recent changes in the rules in CA BON you would not be able to apply with them unless you have a SSN.

I would like to ask regarding my application for NCLEX-RN here in ARIZONA. I’m really confused about the English Validation exam like TOEFLs and IELTS that they require for a foreign nursing graduate (like me from the Philippines) so I was just wondering if it is necessarily for me to TAKE it or NOT?? Will they consider me not to take the English Exam since our Nursing Program in the Philippines was all in English? Thanks a LOT! :/

There were only exempted countries which will NOT take any of the given english exams. You would still need to take any of these exams as part of the requirement for AZ BON.

Yes you need to take the TOEFL exam as English is not our primary language. Please try to send a request at this address:

Department of Financial and Professional Regulation

Or you can give them a call at this  number: 1 (217) 782- 8556 to follow up on your request.

Hi! Thank you for responding to my previous question. Now, I need help with my CGFNS application. I’m here at Washington state and I’m from the Philippines. Washington state requires both CGFNS and TOEFL exam. Here’s the case, while I’m still in the Philippines, I went to PRC and gave them the forms they need to fill-out for my NCLEX and CGFNS. Now, they already sent the forms they filled-out. The problem is, I haven’t applied to either of the 2. Would they just keep my records there until I submit my application? Also, I don’t know what kind of report does the Washington State require. Is it the Healthcare Profession & Science Report or the Full Education Course-by-Course Report? And do I need to complete my TOEFL exam before I file my application to CGFNS? Thank you and God bless you more!

Most probably they have them in file but it depends on how long they were sent. Usually they keep on file until a year and if ever it has been disposed of I am sure they will inform you of such actions. As for which type of report is to be done it was not mentioned in the application. Safest is to give them a call and when you apply with CGFNS usually they ask you what state you are applying to. You need to have a TOEFL result as it is part of the CGFNS requirement.
