      Hard to fin; Should be in a different area

I have been here in the US for 9 months. Came on a fiancé visa now married. : ) I am confused about just what is the test to take next...sooo many options it seems for the English test. also getting my education from back home verified, certified or whatever the correct terminology is.

I feel as though every day I forget one more bit of information that I will desperately need when I finally do sit for the NCLEX!

My --- encourages me but am scared of failing and there is much inertia hindering my efforts to even begin the research and study required to finally be able to use my education to help our family.

Please help ! I have considered signing up with Kaplan and use there resources; cost a good bit.. Does anyone have any suggestions, experience or other ideas.

Thanks!

Specializes in OR-ICU.

First make sure your clinical was taken concurrently with theory. Meaning If you had your theory OB in the lets say the 1st quarter of 2012, your clinical OB should be in the same time period not months or years after. If they weren't taken at the same time, you will be facing the same issues Phil grads are facing. CABON will not let you take the NCLEX if the theory and clinical weren't taken concurrently.
