1. I just want to quit..

   DocsWifey replied to Memphis15's topic in General Students

   To be honest I would stick it out until the third semester or you due date. Take a semester break (or whatever is allowed in your school). You want to focus on your child, especially in the first couple month. And not all nursing is hospital nursing...

2. German nurse with CA RN license

   DocsWifey replied to DocsWifey's topic in Registration

   Hi Damla, CA is a unique state, the board of nursing does the evaluation by themself, they don't require CGFNS or TOEFL. (Which makes it harder when you move to another state later on). Do you have Facebook? We have a group called Deutsche Registered...

3. Valid Virginia Only (Compact Designation)

   DocsWifey replied to DocsWifey's topic in Virginia

   Not really, even though I live close to NC, I'm just trying to think ahead for the future. I hope it will be easier next time (wherever we go) to get my license endorsed in another state. Since I did CGFNS and TOEFL I hope the evaluation doesn't expi...

   Oh ok that explains it, our "home of records" is Florida and I do have a FL driver license. We're currently living in VA due to my husbands military orders. Thanks!

5. Valid Virginia Only (Compact Designation)

   DocsWifey posted a topic in Virginia

   Quick question, does anybody know what "Valid Virginia Only (Compact Designation)" on your license means? I always thought VA is a compact state, does that mean I can only work in VA with my license? A little background, I'm a nurse in Germany, moved...

   Did you have an evaluation through CGFNS done? Usually Universities will accept that. Which Colleges did you contact?

    I'm looking to get my BSN. I have a foreign nursing diploma and a CA RN license. I was interested in University of Wyoming, Fort Hays University, and WGU. Fort Hays out of State tuition is horrendous (there in state tuition is the cheapest I've seen ...

    Hopefully someone has been in the same boat and can help me! I graduated from my German nursing school in 2002 with a German nursing diploma. I worked for about 2 years on an ICU before we moved to the US. I got my CA RN license in 2012 and worked fo...

    Awesome! Hubby is military too, I'll go ahead and request some info from them :-) How do you like it? Is it stressful? What kind of classes are you currently taking?

    DocsWifey replied to DocsWifey's topic in Online Learning

    Thanks for replying KCMnurse! No, I didn't need to have an evaluation done, since the BON in CA does those themselves. I only had to send in a certified translation of my documents - they did their own evaluation. You're right about the credit hours...

    DocsWifey replied to DocsWifey's topic in Online Learning

    Thanks! I do have a current and active US license and I was working as an RN until we moved. VA doesn't allow me to to get a license through endorsement without having an evaluation done - even though I have a CA license. I understand to have an Eng...

    I want to go back to school to get my BSN but I'm running into the problem that colleges/universities won't accept my German schooling. I went to nursing school in Germany, got a nursing diploma there and worked for about 2 years before we moved to t...
