   immortalcherub replied to wahine888's topic in International

   Ok, got it. Thanks for your responses. Yes I've read the FAQ, but it didn't really answer my questions. I've been advised to read on the Canadian healthcare delivery system (where can I get sources for this when most of our books here are centered on...

   Hi. I've already scheduled my SEC Assessment for the last week of July. I am only required to take the Medical/Surgical Nursing parts, which would take 2 days. I have a traveller's visa. Any tips from those who have taken the SEC before? I have no cl...

   immortalcherub replied to chiaren's topic in Philippines

   How do I become a member of PNA? I didn't become a member when I registered after passing the boards, but the hospital that I will be working at is requiring me to submit a recent PNA membership card. Where exactly is their office?

4. Truth about State of Vermont and California > same difficulty?

   immortalcherub replied to xterpogz's topic in International

   If it makes you feel more reassured that NCLEX is the same regardless of states, I took my exam for CA licensing in CA, but I had a question in the exam regarding the appropriate nursing diagnosis for a person living in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I did...

   immortalcherub replied to bebe_ko's topic in Immigration

   I too am a California NCLEX passer without an SSN. My questions are: 1. What states would issue a license without SSN? I only know of VT and NM, but are there others? 2. I'm interested to obtain a license in NY. Does NY require SSN before they issue ...

6. Do most repeat test takers pass the nclex the 2nd time?

   immortalcherub replied to 2bNurse4life4ever's topic in NCLEX

   To answer the thread title, statistically, less repeat test takers make it the second time. From NCSBN, the passing rate is around 90% for 2009 (so far), while for repeat takers the passing rate is about 53%. That's for US educated nurses. It's much ...

   immortalcherub replied to Ng74's topic in NCLEX

   Passed with 75 questions. It took about an hour and a half. My usual time for that number of items is about an hour but I took my time to read the questions and choices thrice in the actual NCLEX. I had 2 math questions. I also had about 5 SATA and 1...

8. H1b Visa for nurses under FY 2010

   immortalcherub replied to LemuelRN's topic in Immigration

   I graduated with a 4-year bachelor's degree (BSN) and just passed NCLEX. Based on that Nurse Memo linked above, wouldn't that place me under A. General Requirements for H-1B Classification in a Specialty Occupation, rather than under B. Advanced Prac...

9. I have two months to study for the NCLEX what should my plan of attack be?

   immortalcherub replied to hpynurs2b's topic in NCLEX

   I only studied the Saunders 4th edition CD. I finished all 4,214 questions by doing around 250-300 questions per day (500 on weekends) for a span of 3 weeks. I passed with 75 questions. Since you have more time than I did, you can do less per day and...

10. H1b Visa for nurses under FY 2010

    immortalcherub replied to LemuelRN's topic in Immigration

    Can a foreign nurse qualify for an H1b even without experience? What if there is an employer who is willing to hire inexperienced nurses, will an H1b visa be granted? Or it doesn't matter if you have an employer, since Immigration says you don't qual...

    immortalcherub replied to MauraRN's topic in NCLEX

    My exam was a lot like yours! I took the exam July 13. I only had 75 questions too, with lots of Peds and hepatitis questions. I had 2 med calculations (my 2nd item was med calculation!), 1 drag-and-drop, and about 5 SATA's. There were several Cancer...
