Steps in Applying NCLEX in Northern Mariana Islands (NMI)/Saipan

Sharing with you nurses on how to apply NCLEX in NMI

1. Check this link https://www.nmicbne.com
-Keep yourself updated, there could be updates kaya important na nagbabasa from time to time

2. Click menu, then click licensure documents

3. Under licensure documents, download/print the following: doc 20 and 21, doc 22 and 23, doc 47

4. Accomplish the following documents listed under doc 20 and 21:
a. NSO/PSA birth certificate
-make sure your name is legible, if not you need to secure an affidavit clearing your name - may iba kc na sulat kamay lang at hnd maintindihan yung mismong pangalan
b. NSO marriage certificate (if applicable)
c. 2 pcs of 2x2 photos taken within the last 6 months
-signature needed at the bottom front of the photo, literal na pipirmahan ung picture sa bandang baba
-gandahan yung picture kc yan ung lalabas sa license mo 🤣
d. request for highschool TOR
-kelangan nkalagay sa envelope at nkadry seal or may pirma ung flap ng envelope)
e. bank draft $150 at nkaaddress sa "NMI Board of Nursing"
-ung acct na pgkukuhanan ng money pede nman na hnd nkapangalan sayo, as long as nkaaddress kay NMI at tama ung amount at nkaattach of course sa application papersn mo
-hindi ako nahirapan kumuha kay BPI, easy lang bsta may account sa knla na pgdedebitan ng pera
-kay BDO need pa daw nila ng dollar acct para mkagawa ng bank draft na may dollar amount
-don't forget to bring doc 21 and 22 kc minsan hinahanap ng banko yun like proof kung san gagamitin yung bank draft

5. Request your college transcript of records (BSN) PLUS ipafill up mo sa college ung doc 47 (certification of RLE)
-alam na nila kung pano fifill upan ung doc 47, bsta sbhin na isama yon sa irerequest na TOR
-ibabalik nila dapat yon na nasa isang envelope, may dry seal and/or may signature ung flap ng envelope

6. Fill in doc 22 and 23. Don't forget to tick the box for REGISTERED NURSE. Sa SSN, put NA kung wala nman tlga SSN. Don't forget na ilagay or ipaste ung isang 2x2 pic sa first page ng form (yung 2x2 na tinutukoy ko yung nasa step 4 letter c, na may pirma sa bandang bottom part). Then, panotarized mo na!

7. So ganito mangyayare, in the end, magkakaron ka ng 3 envelopes:
a. Highschool TOR - sealed
b. College TOR with doc 47 - sealed
c. Short envelope at sa loob yung ibang reqts (NSO birth cert/marriage cert, notarized doc 22 and 23 na may nkadikit na 2x2, yung natitirang 2x2 mo, bank draft)

8. Ilagay lahat ng 3 envelope sa isang long envelope then ipadala thru courier:
NMI Board of Nursing,
CDA Building 2nd Floor,
San Jose, Beach Road, Saipan, MP 96950 Phone number: (670) 233 2263

9. Magpray na sana nagawa mo ng tama yung pgaaccomplish ng papers para may eligibility ka na agad. It took me a month bago ko nareceive si eligibility thru email

10. Next step si pearsonvue. Register lang then prepare $200 for ATT and $150 for scheduling of exam

11. PASS the NCLEX! 🙂
