4 factors you must know before starting to pay your nclex application

How To Choose A State For Your NCLEX Application?

Aug 27, 2019

(Estimated reading time: 5 minutes)

There are 4 factors that you need to consider to know how to choose a state for your NCLEX application. In addition, which Board of Nursing you are eligible to apply.

The first factor is:

Date of Graduation

There are some board of nursing which has a specific rule in relation to your graduation date. Say, Texas Board of Nursing rule specifies that you must have graduated within the past 4 years. If you graduated more than the past 4 years, then you must have been employed as a nurse within the past 4 years.

Another Board of Nursing for example is the Minnesota Board of Nursing. The Board rule is, you can be eligible to apply through Minnesota Board of Nursing if you graduated within the past 5 years. If you graduated more than the past 5 years then it’s not the employment that you have to consider. However, you are required to take the review course in specific review programs indicated by the Board of Nursing.

We wonder, what’s with number 4? Why the Board takes into account the 4 years of post graduation? Hmmm, we also do not know. Tell us in the comments section if you have an educated guess on this matter.

Moving forward, the second factor is…

Employment

You have to look this into consideration. Check first if the Board will require you to have an experience as a nurse or not. By the way, employment wise, Texas Board of Nursing will not accept a work experience if it’s from the academe or if you‘re are working in the BPO industry. Your experience in any nursing department will do, so long as your title is a nurse. The Board will not accept if your position is a clinical instructor. We have verified this information through a call to the Board. It is because there was one client previously who happen to be a Dean of Nursing and wishes to apply for the NCLEX.

Unfortunately, it cannot be accepted. Good news is, she still can apply through another Board of Nursing!

The third factor that you must take into account is…

English Proficiency Exam

International Graduate Nurses will be required to provide proof of their English proficiency by some of the Board of Nursing. Washington Board of Nursing is a good example. The Board will require that you must submit an English Proficiency examination results to them before you will be approved. Nevada Board of Nursing on the other hand, will require that you must submit either TOEFL or PTE. Ohio Board of Nursing will require that you must pass the required TOEFL score prior to approval.

Some BON will require you an English Proficiency Exam result. However, many don’t require you to sit on IELTS, TOEFL, or PTE. IPASS Processing can definitely sort it out for you. We will find which Board we can easily apply with without worrying on this English proficiency exam prior your NCLEX.

The fourth factor you must know is…

A lot of clients come to our office in Manila and in Davao. Others will inquire through our Facebook Page at IPASS processing and some will email and inform us exactly this way:

“I want to apply for the NCLEX through California Board of Nursing, what requirements do I need to submit to your office?” and we are like , wait, hold on “Do you have a Social Security Number?”

Your NCLEX application through California BON or New Jersey BON together with some other states is quite tricky. It’s because they will require that you must have a social security number.

You can only have your social security number if you are already in the USA. In addition, you also cannot apply for the SSN when you are just the USA with a tourist visa. Moreover, your SSN is different from your Philippine SSS. These 2 are entirely different.

So what can be the solution if you want to work in California because your relatives are there? Unfortunately, if you do not have the SSN then your application is not possible. What we will do in IPASS Processing is to look for another BON that you are eligible to apply.

These are the four (4) factors that you must consider before starting to pay for the NCLEX Application.

Conclusion

What we can do in IPASS Processing is that we provide a FREE ASSESSMENT. So that you will know which Board of Nursing your NCLEX applicable can easily be approved. Applying directly to the Board of Nursing without knowing what are the eligibility requirements may lead to a costly mistake because along the process you have discovered that you are not eligible to apply through that Board of Nursing. Take note that the fees of the Board is non refundable. Trusting a reputable processing company like IPASS Processing can help you ease the burden of researching the important things that you need to consider. Also, we are expert in this field thus you can trust that your application is in good hands. We know the step by step application procedure so you no longer need to be stressed-out if what you are doing is right or wrong.

When your application is with IPASS Processing, your part is to focus on your review so that while we do the necessary steps for your approval, you are also preparing for your actual exam day.

Hi! I want to know which state is the best for me to apply for NCLEX as a requirement for my Australia application. My friend suggested Texas but we are not sure though of its eligibility/ATT expiry once granted. Since the pandemic started, our hospital company here in Dubai is not allowing us yet to leave the country until further notice. I am planning to take NCLEX in the Philippines someday.
I hope to hear your advice soon so I can plan the things I can do while we are on lockdown here.
Thank you.
