ASIAN po ba ang ilalagay ko dun sa race or dapat po may sundin na code.. un pong sa application form na color of eyes.. BLACK po ba ang ilalagay or BLK po gaya sa fingerprint card. and dapat po ba maaam na entire full name ang ilalagay sa signature part both sa application form at fingerprint card?.. yung sa alias(AKA)at SSN maaam will i leave it blank or lagay ko na lang po na NONE or N/A?…help me maam JOAN please…tnk u po

You need to TAPE the four sides of the picture. It depends on what state you are applying but if you are applying in California you can view their instructions with regards to fingerprinting on page 5 of the application. In terms of the race they did not place any specific codes so you can just write ASIAN. As for the eye color in the application form just write the whole word since the abbreviations were intended only for the fingerprint card. There is no specific rule that was mentioned in terms of what signature you should use. My tip, is just to use a signature that you frequently use and one that is official such as the one you use for bank accounts etc.

hello ma’am good day! puwede po bang magpa-change ng mailing address after my ATT have already arrived? state of California po at di pa kami nakapagpa-sched ng exam. paano po magparesend ng result ng NCLEX California state if after 2 mos wala pa pong nareceive… thanks po!God bless.

Can I ask why you need an address change for your ATT? I am afraid that may incur extra fees if you want your address to be changed. You can change your profile information at PearsonVue by logging in to your account and updating yor profile. But that won’t change the information in your ATT. If you are worried that your results will be sent to a wrong address then you have to contact the California Board of Registered Nursing about that. They have this form for change of name and or address you can click on that link provided for the form. Just write a cover letter stating that you are an applicant and haven’t taken the examination yet but your address is changed. If you want to inquire about the status of your results you can give them a call and inform them about your situation. Most of the time they are willing to resend or check the status of your results.

hello ms. joan.  I failed nclex first attempt, CA BON.  I took it last Oct 10 in the Phils, when can I apply for next exam? or when can I schedule my next exam? Can I take the exam again exactly 45 days after my 1st exam?  Iv’e read abt 45 days waiting period but I don’t understand, if after 45 days I can re-apply or exactly after 45 days I can already schedule for another nclex exam? My state is CA BON, what if I want to change my state to Vermont? What will I do? Pls Ma’am Joan, enlighten me.  I just rcvd my result this afternoon and am disappointed.I hope you can help me.  Thank u so much! More power to you!

I am very sorry to hear this news. Here is the thing, I just worry that there might be conflict if you apply in Vermont while still having an application in California. What you can do later on is once you pass the NCLEX-RN exam for California and then transfer your license to Vermont. I think that would save you time and money. When you failed the exam, they sent you this form for re-examination. I suggest you to fill that out and pay the corresponding fee as soon as you can. They will reprocess your application and that normally takes 1-2 months and then they will mail you your eligibility notice to be able to take the examination. So by the time you receive your eligibility the 45 day grace period is expired. The 45 days is only for registering in PearsonVue not with the California Board of Nursing.

You can get through this obstacle. If it helps I will be posting later on an article for possible review materials you can use  that might be able to help you. Also, I will post my article about my NCLEX-RN experience and hopefully that will inspire you to pursuit this dream of yours. Never be discouraged and this stumbling block is there to make you realize how much you want this. Good luck! and check on the site once in a while to see if I have posted the articles.

hi miss joan,,just wanted to know the requirements of taking nclex examination here in new jersey,,is it ok if i didnt take my local board since im a citizen here in usa?thanks…

Here is the thing the New Jersey Board of Nursing requires you to have a CES Report to evaluate your studies and part of the questions there is about having licensed or not. If you do not have one, just explain the reason why you do not hold one. I do not know what effect that would have with the evaluation of your credentials but nonetheless, just tell the truth and explain your case accordingly. Also, even if you are a US Citizen you took nursing outside of the US and they have different requirements from those who graduated in the US. They might also require you to take the IELTS aside from CES Credential report from CGFNS. You can view the application form for New Jersey Board of Nursing here.
