Re: Nurse is in demand profession?

The US only requires the NCLEX exam and the series of English exams, if one has written many others, than that is their issue. And your country requires the NLE, and we are seeing that required more and more in the Us, but that is not an US exam to be able to work in the US.

And it is not a right that someone that takes and passes the exams is automatically going to get a visa for the US, there are many more applicants than there are visas. So supply wins, and it is only going to get harder to get a job in the US.

And if one does not have adequate skills by the time that they have a chance at the green card, then expect not to get approved by the US Embassy. That is just how things are now, and they are going to be getting tighter and not easier around the world.

As mentioned above, the UK and the rest of the EU is no longer hiring RNs, and most of the others are now wanting at least two years of experience if they are hiring as well as passing of the NLE, so things are going to be much tighter for you.

And Australia and NZ do not have unlimited needs, they still have a set number of visas that can be issued per year, it is far from being unlimited for any country.

If one truly wishes to work as an RN, then go for the training; but if the goal is to do it just to get to another country, then most definitely reconsider what you want to do. And how you are going to do it.

I couldn't agree with you more. Thank you for your astute observation.
