California with the glut of new nurses and many business moving out of state to states like Texas make California one of the worst place to try to find a job.

If you are open to other states, it seems like they have agency placing people in USA if you have the requirements for immigration.

California with the glut of new nurses and many business moving out of state to states like Texas make California one of the worst place to try to find a job.
If you are open to other states, it seems like they have agency placing people in USA if you have the requirements for immigration.

TX is now the new "CA" for 10,000 plus Filipino grads and nurses these days since the CA BRN has been enforcing the concurrency rules (written since 1987) from Nov. 2011, there have been very few applicants getting thru the CA system.

TX is also the newest "easiest, fastest and cheapest" state to get the ATT from as they do not require the valid work authorized SSN to even apply for the first-time, but do require the various course evaluation services.

The TX BON has seen a big increase in their application due to very few Phils applicants are able to meet not only the CA BRN's concurrency rules but do not have to worry about lack sufficient clinical hours and TX is not so strict with certain deficient courses that's required by the CA BRN, making the vast majority of applicants from the Phils to re-take those certain courses (usually MS - OB, but other possible deficient courses such as Psych and Anatomy).

For the thousands of PH declined applicants, to find the limited CA approved schools are facing 2-3-4 years on a waiting list and many have expensive up-front tuition fees, but if one can find such a open spot and can afford the tuition fees (ranging from $6,000 per class up to $14,000 plus), they can make it.

In CA, one has just three (3) years from their initial application date to finish out their incomplete application process (the need to re-take the deficient courses/clinicals) or will face an automatic abandonment of their application and loss of their fees.

So get into TX now before it too becomes a state with not enough jobs to go around in a couple of years or so.

Here's a pretty good step-by-step application process into TX: https://allnurses.com/nurse-registration/filipino-graduate-applying-827016.html

It's gotten over 66,700 views and have heard from other posters that it's very helpful and got them thru to get their ATT.

Hi, my name is Donald and I would love to work as RN in California. I have started as RN in 1994 and worked in Namibia, the UK and am presently working in Canada.
My fields are ICU's, CCU's and ER.
Any information will be welcome.

Your work experience is impressive! However, getting a job in the US will depend on your immigration status. If you do not have any working visa or green card, the process would be tedious and with the immigration back log, you may be waiting a long while. Also, before you can even apply for a green card, you will need to find an employer who is willing to sponsor you. In California, sponsoring employers are non-existent because we have a lot of jobless new RN grads who are already permanent US residents. They are ready to work anytime without the hassle of going through all the hoops of the immigration process.

Good luck to you!
