Calling all UK nurses going to US

Hi everyone,

There seems to be a lot of questions posted about different recruitment agencies. How about you all posting the details of who you are using? It would be a useful tool for all who are thinking of signing up with an agency. Please give details of your experiences and the information you have been given with regard to placement, time frame involved, what the agency is promising you etc etc.....

hi...vermont returned my transcripts due to the person from the college filling them in wrong and leaving my psyc hours off the forms. she was useless, and I eventually had to speak to someone else in the college and ask them to take over, as I wasnt getting any sense from the person filling them in. It held me back at least 3 months if not more, thought that I would be sitting the n-clex in january and ended up taking it in june.

Can I ask why Vermont sent your transrips back.

My went this week from the University

Do not think I can cancel cheque for NCLEX course.

A friend has let me borrow a couple of books that has keep me going. I put in some time studying every day.

Hopefully transrips that were sent to Vermont will be OK. I will have to keep my fingers crossed. I will let you all know as soon as I hear something.

Hi all, signed with OGP in November last year, started NCLEX training in May, passed exam 29th June, visa screen in progress, hopefully it will come through soon! looking at other timeframes on here it seems that i could be looking at early next year for completion (if it all goes to plan!)

Hi,

Think it may be closer to may/june rather than early 2006. My VSC started around 1st feb and I am hoping for xmas time. Plus I am wondering with the bombs in London whether our London embassy interviews will be later now as there will be a back log. :uhoh3:

That's great news! You seem to have had a fairly smooth run of things, less than a year since passing NCLEX and just 7 months since phase 1 approval.

There's hope for us all yet then eh? :)

Congratulations and the very best of luck to you :balloons:
