so because of that retrogression, nurses here in the philippines have to wait for sometime to be able to get a job in the US?! (sigh)... I am planning to apply for licensure in vermont soon then IELTS, is it ok? because i want to finish first all the exams before looking for a job... also i want to ask, is canada and australia under retrogression? because if US will take sometime before retrogression is over, is it ok if i apply first in canada or autralia? is there any particular exams to take?... after passing nclex and IELTS and not be able to work immediately to US because of retrogression, is that ok? does it have a due date or be due in a particular time... sorry if i have lots of questions... i am just bothered and dont know where to start... thanks for the reply and to others who will also give me their views...

Retrogression is affecting nurses from all over the world, but demand is higher from Philippines, India, China and Mexico. Much better to proceed with application for licensure to be a RN pass NCLEX and then start looking for an employer. May also be worth looking at another country to work but be aware that you will need to meet their requirements. Check each forum to what you need to do, there are threads there that tell you. Much better to look and post in the International forum regarding this subject

ARE YOU WORKING IN VERMONT?... I JUST HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU IF YOU DONT MIND... HOW IS THE WORK CONDITION THERE? ARE PEOPLE THERE NICE AND APPROACHABLE? HOW IS THE PAY AND COST OF LIVING THERE?.. I AM MARRIED WITH A 2 YEAR OLD SON... HOPE TO HERE FROM YOU SOON!... GOD BLESS!

i used to live in chicago before moving here in vermont. chi-town is just a big city for me to live in. so i decided to come to vermont.. ask me why vt? i dont know. i got no friends or relatives here. my first impression in vt is that the place is very very very clean! vermonters are soooo friendly. we have one of lowest crime rate across the country. the pay is decent for me, having worked 10+ yrs as an RN. the 4 seasons are absolutely gorgeous! we have the best fall foliage where actually tourists from around the world come to see the fall here. we have a ton of ski resorts and summer is absolutely wonderful to go biking, go to lake and swim, etc... the downside, be ready for very long and very cold winter nights. snow starts dropping right before thanksgiving or late october and ends late march or early april. the real estate can be expensive, that if you choose to buy houses in burlington.. raising a family here is no doubt the best part in the east. i cant say much because i dont have my own family but i see them through my co-workers. and the best part of it is, the state loves diversity. they welcome immigrants (mainly because vermont has the most white people 96%, percentage wise).
i work in the operating room www.fahc.org . my co-workers are awesome. we are like family but we are very professional and serious when we handle our cases. you and your family would love to live in vermont. i'd love to show you around when you guys are here already.

good luck to you guys.

You need to be using the word petition not sponsor. No matter you will be affected by retrogression and looking at a few years before moving. Although that is no longer a guarantee of passing licensure and having an employer of getting a GC.

when i push through with my application, i already have my license. but i heard some people that you just have to ask tell them the reason why you didnt put any copy of your license.tell them if its ok if its will be send as soon the PRC will hand them to you.
Im part of the June 2006 and i surrendered my license. I told them honestly that the license i previously sent to them was surrendered to the PRC but goog thing I passed the exam here in the philippines. They just told me to send the new license that will be issued to me..
Or if you are not that hurry, u can just wait for ur license.

Moved to the International forum

What do you mean by NCLEX application centre? You have to apply to apply to BON and follow requirements for foreign nurse, nothing hard about that.
