1. Any UK nurses in process of applying for US nursing?

   janelola replied to scottishRGN's topic in International

   Hi Karen, regarding the NCLEX, I studied myself, I did get a few good books to help and a disc off ebay for kaplan test questions - I thought they were most like the real exam. How many questions did you have to answer? Did they give you any feedback...

2. Any UK nurses in process of applying for US nursing?

   janelola replied to scottishRGN's topic in International

   Hi! I'm a little behind you. I passed NCLEX in May 2007 but have not applied yet for visa screen, I hope to do that soon as I know it can take a while to come through. I didn't do the CGFNS as I'm trying to go to CA which doesn't require it. We decid...

   janelola replied to cariad's topic in International

7. Agenda for change (again)

   janelola replied to NovaScotiabound's topic in International

   Hi, I haven't encountered this particular problem, but have dealt with payroll before with a back pay issue. My advice would be to ask to speak to the manager and explain your unusual situation and ask if you could be considered a priority case as y...

8. Just How Difficult is NCLEX?

   janelola replied to kermit27's topic in International

   Hi, Well, the reason nobody ever talks about the NCLEX is that you are supposedly forbidden to repeat anything you saw in the exam. (Did you ever see 'Fight Club'? ("The first rule about fight club is that you do not talk about fight club"!!). Anyway...

    Hi, Well, now it's letting me onto the page but is asking for a user name and password so I'm putting the allnurses one in and it won't accept it? Do I need a separate username and password? Thanks Janelola
