   Yes, that's exactly what I was saying Silverdragon102. In case I win a GC and move to US I would like to know if I qualify for work as a nurse (LPN). For sponsorship I know I need to be a RN. It's just that I'm 24 now and 4 more years just sound so L...

   Thanks suzanne4, I'm aware of everything you wrote up there. By searching through the web I came to a conclusion that I probably qualify as a LPN and to be recognized as a RN I would have to complete addition 2 years of studying or 4 years for BSN de...

   I already contacted CGFNS and they said I should go with the CES Course-By-Course Report to see where I stand within US standards first and then upgrade my education if necessary. I can't order a CES Report for myself I need someone to ask for it, a ...

   So what should I do? Honestly, I have no idea what I'm doing or what I'm supposed to do. I need the CES report but I can't apply for it. I could hire an immigration attorney to be my recipient so that the report would be sent to him and to me but tha...

   I'll go with the CGFNS report to see the equivalent title for the US and work from there. I'm so down right now. Thanks for your help guys. EDIT: Can I have a CES report done only for myself? No. CGFNS International requires you to have an official ...

   Yes I was just looking at the fees, it's $378 for a Course-By-Course report. So is a 2-year (Associate's) degree enough to be recognized as a RN in US or do you need at least Bachelor's?

   EUmaleRN replied to EUmaleRN's topic in International

   So if I'm not a RN, what am I? I must have some title since it says "nurse" on my diploma and I worked in hospital as a nurse. So what's my equivalent in US? EDIT: If I attend a nursing school at Kaplan University which has online Associate Degree's ...

    But that's what I was talking about in my first post. Our school system is different from yours. You can go to 4 year nursing school and become a RN and after that if you want you can attend a high nursing school and become bachelor's of nursing. Tha...

    So for NYC I have to take both CGFNS and NCLEX? Thank you guys for your answers. Looks like I'm playing GC Lottery this year.

    I'm from Slovenia. I just got fired, unemployed since Jan 1st 09 due to "international crisis". Yes I've found a place in my country where I can go for IELTS but what about NCLEX or CGFNS? Do I take those after I come to US? They do hire you for one ...
