Nigerian Nurses

Im a recent nigerian grads! Just wondering if there are any other nigerian nurse on allnurses.com. If so can any put in a good word for me at any hospitals in the tri-state area?

I am not a Nigerian nurse but I am an RN who instructs a LTC CNA instruction course and have a nigerian lady in my class. After a few classes, I knew this lady was more than just a person wanting to get a CNA. She is a very private person but I asked her about her education and at first told me she was a nurse, but in Nigeria they do not use the same terms as here. Then a week or so later I ask her what kind of education she had. I was floored when she told me she was a nurse midwife and had spent around six years in school. I truly believe this lady is lost in the system. I think she just doesn't know how to wade through the red tape and is sufferring from some culture shock. These systems are sometimes so detailed it loses the best of us. Can anyone please help me to help this lady and return her to her profession. I would deeply appreciate any feed back anyone can give me.

Thank you for your help. I spoke with Martina today and she told me that she had to go to Houston, TX and speak to Kaplan about the NCLEX course/exam she had already paid for. . We are in Missouri. I never thought to ask her if she was aware that each state has a different board of nursing. And each state has its own license. I will let her know when she returns this weekend what you all have said. Once again thank you for your help.
