1. General Discussion about Filipino RNs currently working in the U.S.

   penpaper replied to lawrence01's topic in Philippines

   This is a great thread. Honestly, I have no idea about credit history nor how to build one. Thanks for all the info... hope to learn more... especially about renting apartments. Do they come with furnishings like refrigerator and gas range? Or do you...

2. NVC -CP- GC Tracker

   penpaper replied to dhel28's topic in Immigration

   happylearning, do you mean your I-140 took 9 months to be approved? Maybe you should ask your lawyer about it. Maybe something got messed up along the way. I know someone (a doctor-RN) whose I-140 has been filed last Aug 2005 and until now has not be...

   penpaper replied to dhel28's topic in Immigration

   I believe you are indirectly implying pinoy_RNako and I do not deserve to get an interview and visa ahead of agp_ph!!!!!! I find your comments uncalled for. How fast your case is processed depends on a lot of factors! To name a few, the rate of proce...

   penpaper replied to MQ Edna's topic in Immigration

   Hi jakey, agp_ph and leis! Don't lose hope. Let's pray that this retrogression will be over soon. Some of my colleagues had their cases completed at the end of August and they still didn't get an interview! They remain optimistic that in a few month...

   kurt2006 - you were interviewed last week too? Who knows, we might have been sitting next to each other! :) Regarding your visas, I'm glad to hear you submitted your document immediately. Since retro will be setting in, they'll probably have more tim...

9. Does the NATIONAL VISA CENTER commit mistakes?

   penpaper replied to YAJRN's topic in International

   angeldust, do you know your NVC case number (MNL2006XXXXXX)? If you do, you can check the progress of your case by calling NVC at 0016033340700. If you don't know, ask your agency for your case number.

10. List Of Retakers Out!

    penpaper replied to nei_ph's topic in International

    Lawrence, I totally agree with your post. I always believe that the cheating controversy goes all the way up to the PRC. I have always found the actions of the PRC chair somewhat questionable. If she and her group did not prematurely publish the list...

13. latest news- retake!

    penpaper replied to yda's topic in International

    There must be a retake. It's a matter of integrity. This is not just any ordinary exam! This is the BOARD EXAM that confers professional licenses to those who pass. In a licensure exam, the result is highly questionable when you invalidate 30-40% of...

14. CGFNS Exams

    penpaper replied to musee's topic in International

    I took and passed both my cgfns and nclex last year. For CGFNS, I used CGFNS Study guide and Lippincott. The exam was full of med-surg and pharma topics. Very little prioritization and delegation. For nclex, I used saunders and Kaplan. I guess both...
