Re: To all Foreign Nurses - Do not lose hope!
This is exactly what we have been saying all along, get experience where ever one can get it. And this is going to mean that one is going to have to take and pass the local license where ever you are to get a license to be able to get experience.
Most other countries require two years of experience now and this is the point that we are trying to make to all of you. Get the experience and things will come for you. But working in a call center is not going to get you the experience that you need as an RN.
And we are expecting the US to tighten their requirements and actually require the local license as it did in the past before coming here, when the CGFNS exam was required for all before one could come here. All states also required it back then and we are seeing more and more states require it again.
There are no longer any quick fixes to come to the US, even training here no longer guarantees that one will be able to stay and this is the point that we have been trying to make for sometime.
There are still many places where you can practice as an RN, and get paid for it in the RN classification. That is all that we have been suggesting that one do. These training programs that you have to pay for are only that, training. And they do not count as work experience.
