1. Grad school reqt's

   flight027 replied to flight027's topic in International

   Thanks suzanne and pinoyNP, great help. I guess my decision to take TOEFL instead of IELTS will eventually pay off then. pinoyNP, I notice that most schools in the US offer MS in Nsg, while most schools in the Phils. offer MA in Nsg. Since, you've al...

2. Grad school reqt's

   flight027 posted a topic in International

   Graduate schools in the US currently require the TOEFL and GRE before an international student is allowed to enrol in a graduate class. I think a full-education CES report is also rquired. But what if you're an immigrant with a permanent resident vis...

3. Any Foreign Nurse working toward ToEFL???

   flight027 replied to nhlkyn's topic in International

   If you're planing to take the TOEFL, get the TOEFL iBT exam since it already integrates all the four parts -- reading, listening, speaking and writing. I don't know about UAE or other countries, but in the Phils. the TOEFL iBT is the only exam being ...

   flight027 replied to flight027's topic in International

   Thank you so much for responding and providing this information. I wondering though, would a nursing license from Illinois in the US qualify as a valid US license. I mean, some states require that one has to have a social security number before bein...

   flight027 posted a topic in International

   Hi, Hope you could help out a Filipino nurse looking to work in NZ. I was just reading the application info from the NZ Nursing Council Web site and it says that applicants need to go through an assessment first. If you score low on the assessment, y...

   If you're coming from the US as an immigrant or a citizen wanting to study in the Philippines, better file for a student visa, instead of the regular tourist visa. i know someone who had trouble with US immigration and she had to repeat her classes. ...

8. already passed the CGFNS and IELTS- how to take NCLEX in Illinois

   flight027 replied to dcraneses's topic in Immigration

   I don't think you should submit it at all. CGFNS should be the one sending it to CTS. Send a request to CGFNS. I guessing there might be a fee to that, but I think that's the way it's done. Better check with CTS first before you send your CG certifi...

    The Kennedy bill is the same bill that proposed to remove any cap on nurses and PTs. This is good news indeed.

11. Immigration News and Updates

    flight027 replied to lawrence01's topic in Immigration

    Hey lawrence, Would you know the exact number of the bill that has the provision on recapturing 90,000 visas? I made a search at the US congress site and had no luck. Is this provision part of the bigger 9/11 bill?

12. Immigration News and Updates

    flight027 replied to lawrence01's topic in Immigration

    Hmmmm... Perhaps a possible scenario I see with the Nursing Relief Act is that a nurse may potentially be tied to one employer for 5 or 6 years or more? For a good employer, that's too short. but for a rotten one, that's an eternity of hell. Picture ...

    flight027 replied to lawrence01's topic in Immigration

    I'm neither a lawyer nor an expert on legal matters, but here's my personal take on HR 1358 or the Nursing Relief Act. This is just for discussion's sake and this is by no means an expert interpretation of the bill. Please correct any inacuracies tha...

    flight027 replied to attyrn's topic in International

    Before you request your records from every school you attended, verify with CGFNS first if you need to do so even if your grades have already been integrated in a single transcript from your last school. One person I talked to said CGFNS accepts an i...

    if you had really wanted to work in illinois in the first place, i think getting the cgfns certificate, which cost over $400 (!), was the bigger mistake :-) har har har
