hey joan. Is it advisable, if not beneficial, to apply for visa screen already even if you’re still about to take the NCLEX-RN and the IELTS? Thanks

Nope. I would suggest that you take the NCLEX-RN or the CGFNS qualifying exam and the IELTS prior to applying. A passed NCLEX-RN or CGFNS and IELTS are preliminary requirements prior to applying for a VisaScreen. Hope this helped :)

i would like to ask kung magsasubmit pa ba ako ng mga credentials coming from the school kung gusto ko mag apply ng reciprocity sa vermont? nakapasa ako ng nclex nov.2007 state ng california, mag eexpire ang nclex by 2010.ano ang pwede ko gawin para hindi maexpire ang nclex ko? one thing na nakikita ko yung mag apply ng reciprocity sa vermont kaya lang, do i need to start over again from the start? yung may mga papafill up an sa school at mga requirements coming from the school ulit like transcript,rle breakdown? please help me. thank you so much.

Unfortunately, yes you would have to start again in terms of the requirements. What would happen is that is California would just endorse to Vermont that you passed the NCLEX (this is done with a form being sent to California by you) and the rest you would have to be the one to provide it for Vermont. Also, Vermont has a form on their own for school documents etc. I suggest that you make the most out of the 3 year period provided since these things also entail time and finances. But if you have the resources you can go ahead and transfer your license.

hai,iam going to take the TAKE NCLEX EXAM 2 TIME,BEC I DIDNOT PASS 1 TIME,I APPLED FOR CALFORNIA BAORD OF NURSING AGAIN BY PAYING 22$,AND AGAIN PERSON IS ASKING ME TO PAY TOTAL 350$ TO THEM.as i belive i should only pay 150$ tp them for exam centre,why should i pay extra 200$ to them gain,i dont understand,help me outt

You need to pay again the $200 registration fee at PearsonVue since your first registration is only valid for one examination. I know that it says there in your Authorization To Test (ATT) that it is valid for one year but its also only valid for one take of the exam. And then, the $150 is additional payment if you are going to take the examination outside of US Territory. That is why all in all you have to pay them $300 again. I hope this helped and let me know if you have anymore questions.

To all nurses na gustong mag endorse sa Vermont..you have to visit their website at www.vtprofessionals.com nandoon na po ang lahat na explanations na kailangan sa endorsement process, you have to do everything as required and of course, you have to submit evrything from the start, like verification sa school at license information. As fellow nurses, I would like to share this to u because I applied Vermont too. Thanks Ms Joan for sharing your information to all of us and Godbless..

Thanks again for the information :) This will really help a lot of people.

hi po,,help nmn po.pano po ba mgapply sa washington for nclex.may froms na po akong na download,kya lng di ko tlga maintndhan kng pano ung processing.wla nmn ung breakdown ng fee kng mgkano? can anyone help me onthis matter?? tnx po tlga

Here is the link for the breakdown of fees for Washington. So basically for the application you would have to pay $90.00. I am reading the application packet and it seems like you need to take the CGFNS Qualifying Exam not unless you have passed the NCLEX-RN exam in another state then you can proceed with the application. If you have further questions please do not hesitate leave comments here and I will get back to them as soon as I can.

Q&A: NCLEX Registration Form, Transfering To Another State and more…

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

STILLSLEEPY

thank you so much ms joan, you are such a blessing..wish me luck with my application. may the good Lord bless you always!

Glad to be of help :)

and one more thing.. ive already sent the transcripts yesterday, then i was talking to a classmate of mine this morning and she said i should have sent original tor and rle docs, but the lady in charge for the nclex application in our school said its ok if we send photocopies…which is true? and id like to send the application form and fingerprint cards this coming monday. i will include a photocopy of my license, should i have it notarized or certified copy, or the ordinary photocopy will do. again ms joan thanks a lot!

First of all, the TOR and RLE should come directly from the school not from you. And then for the issue of sending an original as opposed to a photocopy your friend might be correct on that one. Not unless, the photocopy is certified by the registrar as true. Its just that in these circumstances we don’t want them to have any room for doubts that might jeopardize your papers in the long run.

As for your PRC license, a photocopy would suffice but it would not hurt to attach a certified copy from PRC that you passed or have the photocopy of the license to be certified.

SHE

Yes you will send it via mail.

How can I register and pay in Pearson vue via mail if i don’t have a credit card? Do I need to send the bankdraft together with the registration form, candidate bulletin and eligibility?

Yes you will send the bankdraft together with the NCLEX Examination Registration Form. There is a part in the form, in the EXAMINATION FEE box which prompts you to write the bankdraft number so indicate it there. And you only need to send the filled out registration form and the bankdraft.

hi! i just passed my nclex- california but i don’t have an ssn so i can’t have my license. am planning to file a reciprocity to the state of chicago. what website do i have to visit for the instructions and what would you suggest. eventhough 3 yrs would be an ample time but i’m worried about the retrogression.. hope you could reply. tnx!

This is the website for the Illinois Board of Registered Nursing. You are right you still have some time and I suggest that you take advantage of that time first before making any moves. A lot of things can change within that 3 year period and hopefully it would be for the best. Anyways, maybe you could use up 2 years of your period and then take action on the third year if things still don’t change by that time. Because transfering license also entails time and more importantly finances since you have to fulfill requirements from the state you want to endorse to.
