Answers to California NCLEX-RN Application Questions
Okay I have read the comments in my California Application article and I am here to answer your queries:
CHAY:
You can go visit the NCSBN Review at their website Learning Extension most of their course offerings and prices are there.
ANONYMOUS:
In terms of printing the application form you need not print it back to back in separate sheets will do.
ROSE RC:
I am sorry but I am not quite familiar with the New Mexico Nursing Application. I do not want to give you wrong informations or misguide you since I haven't experienced first hand applying there.
ANONYMOUS:
I am not so sure what will happen when you register first in PearsonVue prior to applying to California BON. What exactly did you do when you registered in PearsonVue? Did you pay the registration fee? Because in my own understanding basically you register to inform them that you already got an eligibility from the state that you are applying. Try to contact PearsonVue to know the best thing to do with your situation.
JONATHAN:
The letter of explanation is just a letter addressed to the Board of Nursing telling that you do not have a license here in the Philippines or whatever reason you may want to say. The important thing is that you give them a letter and some really say that they do not intend to practice here in the Philippines that is why they do not have a license here. So to sum it up, if they do not see a copy of your license this might prolong the process of your application since they will write you a letter telling you to provide a copy of your license or a letter explaining why you do not have a license. So it is important to provide a letter regardless of your reason so your application process will not be delayed.
As for the money order I am not too familiar with the process here in the Philippines since in my case I have a family member there in the US and I had the manager's check done there. You can inquire in banks on how to go about the process and make sure the check is payable to BOARD OF REGISTERED NURSING. Also they DO NOT accept personal checks as far as I know.
CONNIE:
First of all I take it that you have not applied to any state yet. Please DO NOT REGISTER IN PEARSON VUE not unless you received an eligibility from the state you applied in. Once you get your eligibility that is the time you register in PearsonVue. I am not sure what are the consequences if you do otherwise but just follow the process. You can change the state you applied in at the PearsonVue website. Since you said you already registered just log in with your username and password to access your information.
Please decide what state you really want to apply to in order to prevent further delays. Changing of state registered will cost you $50.
NIKKI
If that is what the disclaimer says then maybe a copy of your diploma will suffice just wait for the California BON if they will request anything more from you. You register in PearsonVue once you get a letter from California Board of Nursing saying that you are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN exam.
Well those were the questions posted and I hoped it helped to clarify some questions you guys have. Please email me or leave comments so I can answer them as soon as I can and with the best of my abilities.
Thanks and God bless!

Hi joan.Thanks for being so generous about this. My question is that can my sister ,who resides in california, deliver personally my papers to NCLEX sacramento office? Is that allowed? My school is sending my papers to the "nclex P.O. box add" and I plan to ask my sister to deliver my papers to the "nclex-market blvd address". Would that create problems since the two batch of my papers will be sent to 2 different areas? thanks much

I applied for my NCLEX last february, 2007 and received a letter from them last May 2007 that i should send a letter why a still don't have my licensce here and my school to directly mail to them my credentials as a graduate of nursing. I immediately complied with it and until now I haven't received any comment or letter from them.

[here's what you've mentioned w/ regards to the address in the application]
If you have a relative or family member residing abroad whom you can trust and at the same time ask for little favors then if possible try using a US Address they say that it makes communication faster between you and the Board of Nursing just in case they need something from you.
my question is:
if in case i fill it up w/ an address in california,
assuming that i'll be eligible to take the exam,
would there be any issue/problem that i'll encounter if i'll take the exam here in makati | register/pay as an exam taker in pearsonvue makati?
please do reply.. retthurr@gmail.com

as far as i know, kailangan na ng local license kung foreign grad ka if you want to take the nclex in the US - unless you are a greencard holder or US citizen ka. Actually, kahit pa may greencard ka or US citizen ka, once na makita nila na nde ka graduate ng US ay papadalhan ka nila ng letter at hihingi ng explanation kung bakit nde ka nag exam kung saang bansa ka gumraduate.Pag pumasa ka ng NCLEX and wala ka pang SSN nde mo pa makukuha yung lisensya itself. You need to provide the SSN within 3 years or else ulit ka. So i recommend na humanap ka na ng employer mo dahil around 2 years ang waiting period to get here sa US via nursing visa.
Next, yung mga concerned kung pede sila mag take ng exam dito sa US while on a tourist visa, yes pede. Pero wag niyo na lang babanggitin sa port of entry kung hindi baka hindi ka talaga makapasok. Give a different reason na lang dahil strict talaga.
About waiting time for the eligibility to come out, medyo matagal nga yun- around 3-4 months although, pag retake mga 1 month lang.
Yung tungkol naman sa pag register sa Pearsonvue, makakapagregister ka sa pearsonvue pero useless kung hindi mo makukuha eligibility mo kasi kahit nakaregister ka na ay hindi mo makukuha ang ATT mo. Gets?
