ATT for June 2006 Passers

World International

Published

I am just curious, has anyone of you been denied of an ATT because you took the June 2006 Nursing Exams in the Philippines (or are all these just plain rumors?) Any input? If it happened to you personally, may we know the situation of your plight? Thanks.

suzanne will you please just humor me and read the instructions and the form for para 13 of the ces application taken from the 2006 handbook for ces --

regarding the application for ces only, it remains my contention that the 06/06 nle takers/passers can in all good faith say in section 13d that they took the philippine nle but the licenses have not been issued by the regulatory commission and the outcome is pending review in the philippine appeals court.

thanks for taking a look at the handbook....

i have seen the handbook and also am very familiar with what is states, and again, there is no way that anything can be verified. and as i have been saying all along, if the sole purpose is to work in the us, then do not even bother with that exam, it is not required, unless you plan to work in a state that still requires the cgfns exam, such as michigan. otherwise spend the money towards prep for the nclex exam.

the issue becomes that the exam was written..........if never written, tnen no issue. there is already much talk going on in the us right now all over the country about what happened over the past few months.

cgfns is unable to change a ruling that they have in place...........if an exam was written, there needs to be verifiable results of passing, same way that you do not see someone that has not passed get the ces.

just makes common sense, and we do use that over here. i am also in contact with hr directors all over the country, and they are not willing to even take a chance of employing a nurse that took that exam........too many legal issues around it. going to a large state hr meeting next week, where i am sure that it will be a very big topic.

cgfns also is the one that issues the vsc, and they cannot do that either without at least passing that can be verified.

and sorry, but as much as everyone wants to argue with me this week on the topic. put on your thinking cap for a minute.............

if a new grad applied to a state for licensure, even in june before the exam, they still would need to get thru the ces, and then it takes at least another month or so in most cases for the state to permit the att to be issued.

many waited until after they took the exam, and were waiting for their results to be posted, and they were; to the world, as well as us immigration, all of the boards of nursing around the world, etc. then the flare-up over the exam and the results................taking you now to middle of july or so, you do the math.............if it takes a good two months before the att is even issued, when the ces is not required, and that would only be to around now; with the ces required, no one has issued them yet. not enough time, cgfns does not work that fast, and especially with the push to get things done the past few months with the impending retrogression.

and for any one to say that they know of someone is not what i call proof of anything.............and especially with the way that rumors start over there, if i got a dollar for each one that started there in the past year i could have retired and never worked another day in my life.

way too many he said/she said.....................and without proof......i stand by what i have been saying all along................there are members here from all over the philippines, and actually the third largest membership here, and not one has actually come here and said to me that they got their att recently, and it is in their hands. only people that know of someone, and that means nothing at all without proof that can be verified.

all of you are welcome to do as you want, some of you will listen to me, and others won't. when you have issues that come up later on that get you into trouble............those that do not want to listen will have to deal with it.

your choice on what to do, i never make anyone do something that they do not want to do, they just need to live by it later on and be able to do so.

I have also helped foreign nurses come to the US to work for more than twenty years, and helped get across the changes in CGFNS policy about the Japanese nurses that trained in Thailand, as well as the other foreign nurses that were in that program. And it took about two years to get done, meetings were held even in Europe over it; not a simple change this and send out a memo. It does not work that way over here, especially when you are delaing with a company that is under contract to provide a service that is specified by the US Government.

I have been a nurse, probably more years than many of you have even been on this planet..................it you do not like what I am saying, you do not need to follow it, the choice is yours.

Helping nurses here is done as a volunteer, we are not paid. I put my time in because I love to see others be able to better themselves. I use my years of experience and training in making my choices. Unfortunately, many of you do not have that behind them..............

mike,

I don't know if I should be happy or what, i received my eligibility at the same time GMA announced the retake. So its mixed emotions haha. But I have to delay my NCLEX I guess -_-

My sister said you can have your ATT in less than an hour and I only have 90 days if I am registered so I am postponing it. :p

ya, there's an old saying...be careful what you pray for, coz you might just get it!

so, yes until the picture of re-test becomes clear, still you and most of your batch-mates remain stuck until further notice. in my mind even the 26000 "flunkers" are back in turmoil, coz now pgma says she likes everbody to retest 3 and 5. but if i did not pass, i would prefer just regular 100% retake in dec 06. at least that way i am already registered and making a study plan, etc.

*sigh*:confused:

well, take it one day a time, make the best of your idle time, and pray that it moves forward soon and to the benefit of the talented filipino nurses who are just trying to be productive in their careers and lives. may god bless you all! ingat!
