NCLEX Question in PI

[SunShineFL1210 0]

In Philippines, do you have to pass your NLE before you can take NCLEX ?

YES it's necessary,. It's one of the requirements,..

Before it's okey if you don't have a license from the PI,. and i had more than 5 friends who didn't take NLE and they were able to take NCLEX.... but now when you apply for NCLEX and if you're from the PHil, they will ask for your License from the PRC...

were you able to take the NLE?

[SunShineFL1210 0]

Associate Degrees in the Philippines cannot work as RNs but as LPNs in the States and there is no visa for it now, only EB3 for nurses. There is not much difference between ADN and BSN when it comes to job description in many hospitals. But a BSN gives you greater financial rewards and career flexibility in the long run. I think, US prefers a foreign grad to be a BSN coz of lower mortality rate in patients that were cared for by BSN,RNs.

This is just my 2 cents

Peace to the ADNs

tallcoolone having the local license IS NOT a requirement in order for u to sit in for NCLEX.

but wen u work in the U.S. passing the NLE wud be somehow "like" a requirement cus theyl ask u for sure if passed or took the NLE..

passing the NLE, though its totally different from NCLEX, gives employers idea of..if u didnt pass ur local board, how can then u can pass the NCLEX especially that ur a foreign grad.

so if ur question asks if its a requirement for NLCEX - answer is NO (the request of photocopied license can be substituted by a diploma)

but if ul ask do you need to take local board and passed before working in the U.S. as a foreign nurse - YES, as some employers get that qualification from a foreign grad.

better check www.allnurses.com (NCLEX FORUM) - its like the "visa journey" for nurses

and the BON where ul apply for nclex.

Hi there!

Nevada Board of Nursing doesn't require local license (Phil. NLE) for her to sit for the NCLEX. She just need to enclosed a letter stating that she doesn't have plans to practice nursing in the Philippines.

I wish her luck on the exam!

I already have my license(Phil NLE) when i applied for CES-CGFNS they asked for it..

but it's good to know that NLE is not necessary in Nevada BON... good news for those who wants to work in NEvada..

cheers!!

I met two guys during my review in KAPLAN, they told me that they didn't get their eligibility yet, cuz they didn't include their license(photocopy) with their application because the result of the NLE wasn't released by the time they applied for NCLEX,. when they follow up the status of their application, they were told that they needed photocopy of their license so after they submitted it, weeks later they got their eligibility,. so that made me think that License is necessary,..

even if it's not really a requirement... ya know to be safe....

In USA you only need a 2 years Associates Degree from a US School (College / Community College) to sit for NCLEX to be a RN.

I wonder why the USA wants a graduate nurse from another country to have a Bachelors Degree in Nursing before they can sit for NCLEX?

I graduated here in the US with a BSN degree..Yes you can have only associate degree to be an RN and take the NCLEX but the education in nursing is very different from the US compare to the other country..Believe me, it is do damn hard!!I would say, my nose bleed before I finally graduated!

i guess CES-CGFNS won't ask for photocopy of your license if you fill-in in there application that you haven't taken any licensure exam yet.. it would be great if you took the NLE and passed, but NO-NO if you took it and fail. to be safe, if some state in the US don't require NLE, then why take risk.

I think only 4 states out of 50 states in USA require Local Licesnse before you can sit for NCLEX

its ok if u find it wrong but im not saying this according to my knowledge but according to the whole application packet sent to me when i applied for NCLEX (CALIFORNIA) ..well maybe its only for california..

but yes, il stick to it tallcoolone...may i suggest to you to research for yourself, NCLEX infos are NOT complicating. sorry to say but just being honest, filipinos are making it like one.

i read one post here which is true....NLE is required FOR CGFNS.

no PI license = no cgfns&IELTS = no visa for nurses (u cant apply for that nurse visa without IELTS passing score even uv passed cg)

when ur ALREADY in the U.S. - TAKE THE NCLEX and get SSN! (no more, no less! applies to california and some other states, so better check ur state)

dont just stick to peoples advices, go research for yourself. u may find my suggestion opposite to them like what u said...but for ur own good..research for yourself..

know your state 1st,then check their requirement.. your state's requirement maybe different from the requirement of the states, where the people who gave u advices applied for nlcex.

trust ONLY the bon of your state

were you able to take the NLE?

I think the process varies by state. It is still okey even if you dont have a license from PI in California for example.

Here's an excerpt from California nursing board (http://rn.ca.gov)

Submit a copy of your license or diploma that allows you to practice professional nursing in the country where you were educated. If you do not hold a license, a written explanation is required.

ALSo, NLE might be required by CGFNS but CGFNS is not required by the California board. Which makes the NLE a moot point

Actually tallcoone, shes is right. The reason for a lot of confusion is that most nurses that come to the US, come to the US on "work" visa. If you come to the US as a nurse on work visa, an NLE is required, but that requirement is not coming from the board of nurses. It is usually coming from US Immigration or the employer.

If a nurse comes to the US as a wife or soon to be wife of a US citizen, then that nurse is not coming under "work" visa isnt she. That nurse is not subject to that NLE required by Immigration. That nurse would just need to comply with her state's board of nursing and most state do not require NLE.

My wife just graduated a few months ago too and will be leaving the PI hopefully in June. As a result, she's not licensed and wont be in the Philippines. Pretty much in the same situation as you.

Luckily, NLE is not required.

Go to http://rn.ca.gov. This site has all the info you need.

If you have any questions regarding anything about nursing, a better forum is allnurses.com. There's a lot more resources there for this subject than here at VJ.
