Would like to work in TX

Thanks Silverdragon for the information.

My question: where is the FENS conducted? what agency gives this course?

So I can go with my application for Texas but I still need to meet the 2 year work experience to get a license.

Are there other states that gives hard license and doesnt require work experience for it? I dont know if I can find work as nurse here in the Philippines in the current situation. I've been reading about Vermont and New Mexico but most of the post are outdated from years back and they may have updated their requirements.

Thanks a lot!!!

I'm in the same situation as your brother. I just graduated last march, had my local boards and now Im planning to start my NCLEX application for Texas since I would want to be with my sister who is working there.

But when I checked out the Texas BON website, it says that foreign educated nurses needs to have 2 years work experience. Its very difficult to have work experience now since there are a lot of graduates. Im thinking of going throung New Mexico since they have compact license with Texas but I still need to check out their requirements.

Really, so I need not have the 2-year experience during initial application to Texas BON... only during issuance of license that I need to present the work experience or FEN. I'll verify that info to the Texas BON.

Thanks a lot guys!!!
