you do not need work experience to work in the US but it is better to gain some and with current retrogression and that it will take a few years to move to the US then may as well gain that experience. I would say the same goes for you , no one knows how long retrogression is going to last so may as well gain experience

Re: Question of new RN;..Advise pls!

you dont have to be in a hurry there are lot, thousands who are waiting for the visa, who are affected by retrogression. well in your case lets see if you pass the nclex and start the petition process and following the usual visa flow expect youll be in the US 2015.

yeah, I know the feeling when you are playing the waiting game....I suggest wait for license first and try your best to get a job asap...if you can afford not to be " volunteer slave/newbie without pay", try to get a job that actually pays you. working in a call center wont help you practice your skills..your mama probably think it will help you gain some income...but you will lose in the long run... focus on looking for a job first. do yourself a favor, work first, to gain confidence and feel how it is like to work as a nurse. you may want to take NCLEXRN stat, but you won't be able to get out of the country in a snap because there is a retrogression going on, meaning no visa for nurses who wants to work here in the USA. Yeah, you may not need a work experience there in PI to work here in US of A, but I beleive in the Philippines, they wont let you get out just like that without "serving" your country for 2 years..remember, there are thousands of nurses before you who is contemplating to work in this land of milk and honey....but I am 100% sure they are waiting to for the retro to be lifted...relax. patience is a virtue.

Re: Question of new RN;..Advise pls!

well, I had the same feeling after I took and passed the board exam, I almost wanted to do everything .. then I realized, it's just me who is so excited of my license wanting to do this and that...

I advised you to take each step one at a time, get your hospital experience, get a good agency (if you want some help), pass the Nclex, ToEFL and wait.... and i mean wait . Retrogression isn't over, believe it or not, you just added yourself to the thousands of nurses stranded waiting for a lift...

although, work experience is really not an issue in going to US, but I do believe that being a nurse is not developed through books alone, you need to practice it and feel the worth. Besides, the more years of experience the higher your value (kiddin' but true )

gOOdluck to you ...

It is not true. It all goes on place of birth so doesn't matter where you live if retrogression is in place and mainly affecting certain countries due to high demand then you are still affected if born in them countries.

Re: Question of new RN;..Advise pls!

Thanks,,uuhhhmmm so you mean even i will work in London or any country then become a citizen there and already pass my nclex and all requirements, still retrogression will affect me even im a citizen of other country?

Re: Question of new RN;..Advise pls!

hello again,,question again but its about IELTS, because of retrogression, i think i should take first IELTS before nclex, because i have relatives in canada so i think i can work there when there are still retrogression...do you think my decision is correct,, what can you say? and does IELTS is lifetime, i mean does it have expiration???

Need some advice, pls...

Re: Question of new RN;..Advise pls!

im not in hurry, i will still work here in my country, Im just planning.. hehehe
