Hello everyone!

I received an email from USCIS last July 21,2014 informing me that my petition got approved.

I am a Registered Nurse in the Philippines and planning to take NCLEX when i get to TEXAS USA. Is there anyone out there who could help/guide me regarding documents/papers that i need to prepare or get here in the Philippines like my OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT OF RECORD from my Nursing School and my PROFESSIONAL LICENSE Copy from PROFESSIONAL REGULATION COMMISSION etc.

I want to know what documents/papers i need to get in preparation for NCLEX examination.

I hope i will get a reply from you guys soon.

Thank you!

After some research it appears SC board of nursing only requires the CGFNS "evaluation service" of transcripts from the University that was attended in the Philippines. From what I can tell it does not require the CGFNS certification test before NCLEX can be taken as long as the credentials check out okay. The TOEFL is required.

My fiancée will be coming to live here with me next month and we have been researching and calling the board of nursing asking these same questions. She recently graduated this past March with her BSN from Blessed Mother College in Cagayan De Oro City.
