janjan Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Is it necessary to take local board before taking NCLEX? If not, what are the step by step processes or the requirements in taking NCLEX? I'm a student nurse in the Philippines and I really want to take NCLEX ASAP. Please help me... janjan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweetybabes Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 You can take the NCLEX without taking the local boards if you have an American visa. You can take it directly there! or you can take it in Hongkong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skysoldier Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 My sister is a certified nurse in the Philippines she already passed TOEFL CGFNS and she wants to take the NCLEX exam, my question is how much would it cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tseprep Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Check CGFNS International theyshould have the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skysoldier Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Thanks for info, I think by next year she will go to Maryland! btw thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giddy Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Thanks for info, I think by next year she will go to Maryland! btw thanks again! How easy would it be to find a nursing position in the US if you are coming from the Philippines? If you don't have a permanent residency in the U.S., is it easy to get a Visa? Did your sister have to go through a recruiting agency? I am just very curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skysoldier Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Yup she did, the agency said that her papers is in the 4th stage so maybe by next year she will fly to the US! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tseprep Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Good luck to your sister! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JYN Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Hi tweetybabes! What do you mean when you say American visa? Like permanent residency or american citizenship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tseprep Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 While I am not Tweetybabes, I am assuming that it is either tourist visa or student visa. It would be much easier to get sponsorship within the U.S. instread of getting a working visa abroad. However I am just guessing and look forward to hear from Tweetybabes as well.

skysoldier Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 So what do you mean by sponsorship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tseprep Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 As a nurse, you can get employer sponsor from hospitals, nursing homes etc so you can work in the U.S. The process, from what I understand is that a hospital sponsor a nurse, a hospital hired or nurse hired lawyer files the paperwork and within few months to 6 (?) months get a working permit. Within few months to 1 or 2 (?) years the nurse has to provide visa screen (pass the IELTS, iBT TOEFL or TSE & pbt TOEFL) and the nurse will get a "green" card. This could take 6 months or several years depending on the situation. I hope I got this information correct and if so, answers your questions. ;) So what do you mean by sponsorship?

JYN Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Hi I'm asking this for my husband. He graduated nursing in the Philippines and he has not taken the Board exams in the Phillippines. My question is can he take the CGFNS or NCLEX? or does he have to be a board passer in the Philippines? We are living in Illinois right now.

terrywinkle Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 While browsing the web, I saw a site that says NCLEX-CAT simulator. Does it really feels like taking the actual NCLEX CAT? Any members here who were able to take some test on that site? Saw it here http://www.nclexonline.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
