has anyone here married a nurse from the Philippines?

[Robert E Lee 0]

I have a few Filipina nurses working for me. If you have any specific questions I can ask them for you.

When I took my NCLEX I just got practice test books and went over questions and rationale for answers over and over again.

Dang, Bubba, your man card must be withdrawn! Betcha are at the pride celebration in San Francisco right now, ain't you?

No, you savage brute. I am in Southern California. Oh and the south lost, deal with it.

Ok there may be a possible problem and I encourage you to research it further to see if I am correct or not.

Hew Hampshire lists the following requirements for license by endorsement from another state:

In order to apply for a license by endorsement, you must have an active license in another state. In addition, you must meet the continuing competence requirements in NH which include having earned 30 continuing education contact hours in the past 2 years, and having been "active in practice" for a minimum of 400 hours in the past 4 years. "Active in practice" means working in your license category, either for pay or in a volunteer status. Information about continuing competence can be found under Continuing Competence and directions and forms for license application are available under Forms.

As a new grad the "active in practice" may be a deal breaker.

Wow...it was much easier for my wife to endorse her RN license from Vermont to Washington.

i passed nclex 2007. now im having hard time endorsing my license to other state coz i havent submitted SSN. I odnt know if i can make it till the expiration date which is in december of this year.

Submit a ITIN number instead of SS number, it same amount of digits as a SS number except ITIN # start with a 9.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that California is one state that does not require a foreign-trained to have an RN license in order to sit for the NCLEX. There also may be other states that do not require a foreign-trained nurse to have an RN license to qualify for the NCLEX. In that case, it would not be required that your wife pass her Board Exam in the Philippines. She could simply apply through California to sit for the NCLEX. When she passes the NCLEX, she would then be a licensed RN in California. She could then transfer her California license to New Hampshire.

A lot of states in USA do not require local boards (NLE) to be passed in order to sit for NCLEX in USA.

As stated earlier, IF you have a issue with one state with strict requirement. Just go to a easier state like Vermont or Texas and get your RN licenses and transfer to your state

The problem as I see it is the state where she will be working in, New Hampshire. Now New Hampshire is a member of Nursys which is an organization for licensure between states. California is a not a member so I don't know anything about the organization or it's requirements.

Hey thanks i may just come up with some before the whole dog & pony show is over.

I figured my wife could take her review class & go pass the nursing boards & then take the NCLEX & problem solved ! WRONG oh well it was a good plan until it turned into a poor plan.

Ok so who do i have to kill, bribe, or whatever so my wife can pass the CGFNS?

also how soon after she passes the Philippine nursing boards can she start the CGFNS?

1 week,1 month,1 year ?

also how hard is the CGFNS i am not even sure what this thing is so i am at this point,sort of flying blind. i guess it has something to do with someone researching her grades, schooling , or something to that effect.

thanks

Hey Piglett, I don't really know anything about CGFNS but snoop around the link and you should be able to find out answers to your questions.

Your wife may take the NCLEX without undergoing or passing the NLE in the Philippines. She just have to apply for the examination thru state that does not require CGFNS like California. After she can pass the NCLEX, she can apply for Licensure by Endorsement in the state where she's interested to work that requires CGNFS. Usually the applicant for Licensure by Endorsement is no longer required to take/pass the CGFNS. In my case here in Georgia, I just had a Credential Evaluation Service (CES)(by submitting copy of my transcripts) to the CGFNS for the endorsement process.

But if she intends to take the NCLEX thru the state which requires CGFNS, then she has to pass CGFNS before she can sit down the NCLEX..it's a looong way process.

I believe that Vermont recently changed their rules. I don't think they perform their own credentials evaluations any more. If she applies through Vermont to sit for the NCLEX, she likely will go through CGFNS. Check with Vermont's Board of Nursing.

Male nurse, in Southern California, eh? So, if you weren't in San Fran, then you were at the festivities in West Hollywood!
