hi, gud day. i would just like to ask what do you think i would right in the application form concerning my professional education. i am a transferee, and attended 2 nursing schools. would i just write the school from where i graduated? and what date would i write in the entrance date? the date i started the course in my 1ST school, or the entrance date in my 2nd school where i officially graduated? i’m confused on what to write and just want to make sure that i would not commit any errors in my application..

i would also like to ask if its ok that i requested in the 2 schools i attended for the breakdown of education program, verification, and request for transcript? when i received my documents in the school that i graduated, the information about my anatomy and physiology subject was blank since i took it at my first school. i was then advised to go to my first school and request it there. is that ok that 2 schools will send my documents?

i’m applying for nclex-rn in california by the way. i hope that you could help me and advice what you think is best for me to do. thank you very much.

With regards to your first question you need to declare both schools where you studied nursing related subjects especially when some of your nursing subjects are left blank since you completed it at the other school. With that in mind, you also need to submit the school forms to the other school or else your application might be incomplete. Write the entrance date in both schools and indicate clearly which entrace dates are from what schools.

hello,,, I just read a post that there are some changes in requirements for the NCLEX CA. Do I really need to submit a photocopy of my license? What if wala pa kong license, can I submit an expalanation letter with the attached copy of my certificate of passing of NLE? Nagrequest na po ako sa school but then di ko pa namamail yung requirements k… may problem po b if nauna magsubmit yung school sa BON before my requirements? thank you..

If you do not have your license yet a certification of passing from PRC with an attached letter of explanation may suffice. If the board then asks you for a copy of your license later on then you can provide them with that at a later time. There is no problem if your school requirements arrive ahead than your personal application. Though I don’t want to risk your school forms getting misplaced so send your personal application as soon as you can.

I just would like to ask if how much is really the application fees if i apply in California? i am puzzled coz some says 107 USD, some says 126 USD, some says 200 USD? Which is which? Then one more thing, do i need to send the demand draft together with my application? or should i wait for the eligibility before paying?

It depends on what you want to avail so here is a breakdown of the fees: 

  • Application Fee $75.00
  • Fingerprint Card Processing $51.00
All in all total is $126. The interim permit is optional if you intend on getting one you pay an additional $30. You send the fees together with your application or else it will not be processed.

Q&A: VisaScreen Processing Time, Authorization To Test, Social Security Number and more…

May question po ako regarding my ATT. may isang missing letter po kasi sa address (street) ko. Worried po kasi ako baka hindi po ako pakuhanin ng NCLEX exam. Ang nabasa ko po sa ATT, kailangan mag match daw po ung Name ko sa Identification card  (Passport) at sa Name ko sa ATT, tinignan ko po yung passport ko wala naman po doon address. Yung natanggap ko po ATT sa e-mail add. yun po ba ung ipapakita ko sa Testing Center? Pagkaprint ko pwede po bang handwritten yung ilalagay ko pong Date ng Appointment, location etc. na-email ko na po P.VUE wala pong silang reply Malaking problema po ba ito? & pwede ko po bang papalitan ung reason why i do not have SSN#, hindi ko po cya nasagutan kaya ang Lumabas po PV personal information ko ” Not choose to provide SSN #” pwede po bang pag kumuha po ako ng Appointment schedule ipabago ko po? or hayaan ko na lang po ganun. Totoo po bang pag Passed ka sa Exam (Small envelope) daw po ang i-papadala  & kung failed (Yellow brown envelope) daw po. Nabasa ko lang po ito sa 1ng forum.

It’s fine what they check when you take the exam is your name and your valid identification which is your passport. The one you got in your email is the one you need to print and present when you take the exam. Its okay to write the other necessary information you mentioned. 

If you change your appointment it might mean that you would need to pay again. I am quite confused with your dilemma with regards to your SSN can I ask if you applied online? If so there might be a way to update your personal information. Also, I don’t think it would matter not unless you have a US SSN. 

With regards to passing or failing, I am not sure how accurate it is with regards to the envelope size. The thing is though you have no room for errors when taking this exam surely you would want to pass this exam on the first take. Focus on the task at hand and have your mindset in acing this test.

hi..hello there, i was so impressed by your articles and i know you’re a master in the nclex procedures., ma’am i just wanna ask you po..thus the california board of nursing send immediately the eligibility after 4-6 wks if ever…di na po ba ito matagal?gaya ng sabi ng iba,.coz i know this is a case to case basis? and i rili wanted to clarify na di na po ba mag aantay g eligibility ng pagkahaba habng panahon? gaya ng dati? maraming salamat po miss joan more power god bless u po…

Thank you so much for the kind words. I think that the 4-6 weeks is just an estimate. Please take note that there are a lot to be considered in this whole application process. And also considering the bulk of applicants they have from the US and other countries aside from the Philippines it might take a while. Safe to say with the recent applicants I have talked in 3- 4 months they get their eligiblity considering they have no complications with their application. But you can follow up with your application after a  month of sending it just so you know where you’re application stands.

Good day! can you send me copy of the application form for NCLEX at my email-add! tnx poh!

First of all, I post all of my replies here in the site. And what state do you plan on applying?

Hi Is the SS# pertains only to US SS#? Do I have to type in the application form the SS# I used here in the Philippines? Thanks!

Yes it pertains to the US SS#. Your Philippine SS# is irrelevant with the application.

hi ms joan! thank you so much for answering my queries.. i think at this point,il try processing my visascreen certificate. how long do you think it would take me to process everything? im planing to leave for dubai at january.. do you think i could process my visascreen right before the year ends? thanks so much again.. you’ve been a great help.. go you have any agency to suggest that could probably sponsor myvisascreen and all that and has good reputation? thanks.

The processing of my VisaScreen took about 3 months considering mine even had complications. As long as you submit the necessary requirements right away it can be done fast. Also just frequently check the status of your application at the CGFNS website then it will be easier for you to track your progress. Rarely do I see now agencies sponsoring VisaScreen applications though some reimburse payments later on.
