   Hi Elsa, It sounds like the Massey lecturer has given you some quite bizarre advice regarding the NCLEX exam, and all I can say is there was definitely maternity education within my course, and you may end up getting placed on a surgical gynae ward ...

   breev replied to breev's topic in International

   Hi Elsa, My partner is based in PA so unfortunately this is where I will be looking for work. My BN studies definitely had a maternity component and CGFNS would have asked my institution how many hours both theory and clinical this would have consis...

   breev replied to breev's topic in International

   Hi! So I spent most of last year going through the process with CGFNS who verified my NZ nursing studies. I then had to sit their exam which was like a mock NCLEX exam. Then after passing that, I was authorized to sit the actual NCLEX exam which I al...

   Thanks for the reply- like below I can come in on a EB3 (greencard) visa or the H1B(temporary). However my experience is in urgent and primary care- I have over 3.5 years experience as a RN and 8 months as a care coordinator. What sort of positions d...

8. NZ nurse with PA RN license

   breev posted a topic in International

   Hi, I have read several posts now of foreign nurses trying to gain their US RN licenses and look for visa sponsors in the US. I have been through the CGFNS and then NCLEX process and have gained my license as a RN in the state of PA. I am originally ...

   breev replied to BennyBear's topic in Immigration

   Thanks for your info and reply. The more I find out the more it seems impossible. Hopefully something comes up eventually and that NCLEX I just passed doesn't go to waste

10. Hospitals sponsoring RNs for a H1b visa - help!!!

    breev replied to BennyBear's topic in Immigration

    I worked in urgent care for over 3 years. The more I read the more impossible it seems. Most hospitals have told me no so far. And because nursing in the US doesn't require a degree it seems it is not considered a specialty occupation which is the re...

    Hi, I know this was some time ago - but did you have any luck finding H1B sponsorship? I am an overseas nurse looking for sponsorship in PA to work as a RN. Thanks :)

12. Hospitals sponsoring RNs for a H1b visa - help!!!

    breev replied to BennyBear's topic in Immigration

    Hi, Is the status still the same for H1B visas for overseas nurses? I am from New Zealand and have been ringing hospitals in PA and they have either said they don't offer visa sponsorship or only do for management positions. I am wondering if anyone ...

    Hi, I am a New Zealand Registered Nurse (based in the UK) looking to move and nurse in the USA. Has anyone had any success with these international recruiters (e.g. Avant Healthcare Professionals) ?? It looks like doing it yourself may prove difficu...
