Welcome to the very first edition of Q&A here in the site. For those people who are quite familiar with me this is how I respond to the comments you post in any of the articles here in the blog. Usually I make it a point to answer comments on a weekly basis and if there is a bulk of comments I try to do it at least twice in a week. So I encourage you to post comments and at the same time check the site often to see updates.

So as a starter the text in bold and italics were the comments written by the people and below it is my response to their queries, comments or opinions. Hope this information helps.

“I cannot verify this but as of now all I know is that PearsonVue Manila is fully booked until June. I haven’t heard of anything as to there will be no more examinations conducted in Manila and if this is true this would have been all over the news or at least announced at PearsonVue’s website.”

-PearsonVue Manila is not fully booked. I was able to schedule an appointment for NCLEX-RN exam. I got my ATT (Texas) last week and I just scheduled an exam today (Feb 25) for May 2008.

Thank you very much for this info like what I mentioned I couldn’t vouch for that info but I think the issue here is that most people are having difficulty scheduling since most of their preferred dates are taken thus thinking the schedules are fully booked. The thing is though since a lot of people are taking the examinations schedules are pretty scattered so if your preferred date is taken ask for the next best dates that fits your schedule and chances are you will be able to guarantee a slot for your examination.

Hi there Christine in order for me to help you out more specifically what type of application letter will you be doing? What is it for? Were you pertaining to a resume? Please respond and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Hi Nezz thanks for your inquiry. First of all I need to know what US State do you plan on applying to? Since the answer to the rest of your queries will depend on what state you would be applying? (California, Texas, New Mexico, Florida etc.). Leave a comment on the site on what state you want to apply in and I’ll try to answer these questions on my next Q&A.

hi po. im a new grad and take po sana ako ng nclex. i just passed the local board exam. sa cali po sana ako apply. i’ve downloaded na the forms and read the instructions. one thing lng po hindi clear, hehe. how do i get hold of the fingerprint card. para kasi walang instructions on how to request for one. should i send my application first, then they’d send me fingerprnt cards, den isend ko ulit ung fingerprnt card? please help. ung cali license expire po daw after 3 yrs? is it faster if i use my cousin’s add there in cali po? hope to hear from you. thnx po. sorry if ever repeat na ung questions ko, hndi ko na mahanap past entries nu po. at tsaka ang hirap read ng lahat entries one by one. hehe. God bless po.

hello po ulit. i saw na po pla ung fingerprnt request. hehe. un na po ba un? online request lng, den wait na ako? fingerprnt card na ung darating? thnx po.

Congratulations on passing the recent PNLE. Regarding the fingerprint card if the link you went in required you to put some basic information especially an address wait for the fingerprint card in the mail to arrive approximately a month or two months after depending on the bulk of requests and mailing services. Wait for the fingerprint card, accomplish it and then mail it together with your application form. If you send in your application without it your application will be considered incomplete.

Regarding the expiration of the California License I am not so sure if their license expire in 2 or 3 years I will need to verify on this first. But if you are pertaining to after passing the NCLEX-RN exam they will give you 3 years to provide them with a SSN to be able to give you an actual license.

As for using your cousin’s address it would definitely be faster mailing wise since correspondence would be done over the same state. The thing is though you have to make sure that your cousin has the time and the willingness to inform or update you just in case anything comes in to their mail regarding your application. In general, application process takes about 4-6 months depending on the bulk of applicants. Hope this information helped

tumawag napo ako sa Caloifornia and wala naman syang sinabi na kulang documnets, 16-24wks lang daw ung pagprocess. so pede po na ipadala ko na lang magisa ung document na un or lahat pa ulet ng documents coming from school need ur reply asap tnx!

Hi Pem I was reviewing your previous comments from the other site and I am just worried did you ask them directly if you have any incomplete documents? Or atleast explained to them your situation? The thing is that Americans are pretty straight forward and if you do not ask them directly you won’t get a straight answer as well. Also verify with your bank if the bankdraft you made was accepted since I worry that you placed a wrong name in which the draft was made payable to. Because if this is the case then if the fee was not valid then they would not process your forms. I hope you could shed more light on this call you made with California BON so we can analyze this further.

 Hi, I couldn’t follow on how to join your group. I know I was able to join the group, but could not post a message there. Anywei, my concern is this: I already requested TOR from my school and they gave it to me for mailing. That was October 2007.  I wasn’t able to mail it then because I haven’t completed yet my personal application to BON which is supposed to arrive there first, right? But now that I have already saved enough for the application fee, I’m quite bothered  that my TOR is still dated 2007.  Would it create problem or confusion to the Calif-BON that my TOR is just mailed now? Would the date matter to them? PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME.

The mailing group was intended for newsletter so you would not be able to post responses there. Anyways, with regards to your question personally I think it might raise some questions since the school forms are like approximately 4 months ago. And yes you are right the personal forms should arrive first. My best advice that I could give you is that to have the school make another set of forms with a more updated date. I just really fear that doubts might be raised against you. And also please take note that school forms should be sent by the school.
