The questions all have very obvious answers, but again, just search any specific laws of the nursing practice act as you come upon them. There are only a few questions that actually refer to a specific law anyway. Good luck!


Agreed, Per numerous post on various websites, this seems to be way to do it

I know it is pretty much confusing now but all I could get for an answer from her is that she is not sure as of now since I will be getting an interview from employers when I get there. By the way, we will be staying in MD upon arrival in the US for a so-called transition program.
I still find it strange as your place of employment for the H1b visa was Virginia but you do not know where you will be working. H1b is employer based so I would have thought Virginia would be where you are based.

There's also an online course you can take to help prepare you for the exam. It costs $25. http://bon.enspire.com/jep/course

I think they are trying to avoid sitting for the CGFNS exam by getting a license in a compact state.

yeah, I have taken this Texas NJExam last July09. My only Advice is that, You study the online review, do a bit of reading on the Texas Board of Nursing-dont memorize, but understand the concepts. Finaly, and most importantly, USE your critical thinking, (test taking skills). And I will ASSURE you, that You will PASS. Easy Exam-Good Luck my friend.

I thought you needed 3 years experience in a specialized field in order to qualify for a H1b visa. Check up on it and make sure that you're fully qualified. Also if you don't have a specific employer, then chances are that there is something fishy about the whole thing and there is probably something that you don't know. Make sure you're fully aware about what's going on because in the end, the agency will pin point everything on you, if you were found to be unqualified for the visa. Good Luck

well I am sure enough I am fully qualified for that H1b visa.. just that its really pretty weird when i was told there would be another interview for prospect employers when we get there. I mean, all the while I was thinking we already got a job waiting for us.. idk.. anyway, i wana think positively on this regard though. I got the visa, I got the flight details, and Im off next month..

anyway, thank you for the concern

I thought the H1b visa had to be for a specific hospital. If you don't know where you're working, then chances are you don't have a direct employer. If you don't have a direct employer then how can one get a H1b visa? It sounds like whom ever got you the visa is doing things crooked. I don't know about other states, but if you're going to California, the H1b visa holders are being investigated because some are abusing the visa. Good Luck next month.

hi..thanks for d reply.

all i can say back for an answer would be based from the info in the embassy packet they sent me.. that id eventually be working in Veterans Ad. sumthing, somwhere in Chantilly VA. but after all the papers done, i was physically and mentally drained doing stuffs as to application for license endorsements, first to Maryland, then to Texas.. and when I asked my local agent where exactly is my state of deployment, all I could get is that she isnt sure of yet..oh well, goodluck to me really.. lols..
