1. Interesting article about "diploma mills"

   elmar22 replied to NurseCubanitaRN2b's topic in Immigration

   Documents needed by NCSBN for Visa Screen and different state Boards from foreign applicants need to be sent directly by the school to these agencies (using official sealed envelopes and letterheads from the school). TORs and diplomas sent by the app...

2. Australian RN to USA

   elmar22 replied to casserooni's topic in Immigration

   I also did my completion courses (Paediatrics/Obstetrics) with Deakin University and did not have any problem with CGFNS (for VisaScreen) and Vermont (for NCLEX-RN). If NY does not accept these courses offered by Deakin, I couldn't think of any other...

3. Mandatory 5 YEAR Nursing Course starting June 2009

   elmar22 replied to Hoss's topic in International

   The main purpose of the Australian Bridging Program is to prepare the foreign nurse to the Australian Nursing setting/standard so a 5 year BSN Philippine Nursing graduate would still need to undergo such bridging course. The reason why Australian/New...

   Easy...just recruit nurses who finished their BSN degrees from reputable or topnotch nursing schools in the Philippines.

5. the american dream: do not lose hope

   elmar22 replied to rookie_rn's topic in Philippines

   Does it not seem kind of wrong to others that nurses from the Phillipines expect our us to let them in our country to practice nursing but their Country won't allow us to even sit for their exam. Giving should be a two way street not a one way street...

7. Florida Board Punishing Foreign Nurses!!

   elmar22 replied to BIGBRO71's topic in International

   Why Florida BON doesn't publish their rule in their website regarding any ruling that a nurse should have worked in Florida for two years before he/she can be eligible for endorsement to another state? At least a nurse who is planning to have his/her...

9. Graduate Nurse Programs in Australia

   elmar22 replied to Heparinlock's topic in International

   I agree..the article below shows how competitive to get a slot for AUS graduates for the New Graduate Program. I don't think they will accept new graduates from foreign countries. http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/...620272639.html

10. Bachelor of Nursing in Sydney (UTS, UWS or ACU?)

    elmar22 replied to windazz's topic in International

    Mate, may I know what percentage of Physics have you applied in your Nursing career?...and judging by your so much emphasis on good English communication I believe that you would be better off teaching English than as a Nurse....

11. US Citizen: wants to be educated in Australia

    elmar22 replied to JayH's topic in International

    I believe the OP should also be informed why Bachelor of Nursing is only three years in Australia. This is because subjects like Language, Government, Chemistry, Mathematics, Religion, etc are not in the Australian Nursing curriculum. In Australia, t...

12. US Citizen: wants to be educated in Australia

    elmar22 replied to JayH's topic in International

    I believe the above statement is quite unfair. I got my three-year Bachelor of Nursing in Australia. When my TOR was assessed in Vermont for approval to sit the NCLEX (I passed the exam March last year), all the necessary theoretical and clinical req...

    elmar22 replied to JayH's topic in International

    Just a reminder..please avoid using rude words in this forum ...Have a g'day mate (I don't rely on your unathorised website references on the use of "g'day"...As a lecturer you should know that).

15. US Work Visa for Australian Nurses: E-3 visa is this the answer

    elmar22 replied to dream2006's topic in International

    What do you mean by we?...and where did you get that rule that "g'day mate" is usually not at the end of the sentence?..Is there any Australian grammar book you can quote?
