FMG To BSN/MSN

Published

I am a FMG with speciality in OBGYN and Oncology working a minimum wage job.I migrated to USA 2 months back and i want to stay in the medical field.

I came across this.

http://fep.fiu.edu/

I think it's great for me.

It says the requirements are these :

  • Be a United States citizen or resident
  • Have completed a medical degree from an accredited non-US university.
  • Have transcripts evaluated by Josef Silny & Associates or by an equivalent transcript evaluating company.
  • Obtain a TOEFL score of 550 or complete ENC 1101 and ENC 1102.
  • Obtain an 80% on the Reading and Comprehension and Math areas of the HESI A2.
  • Successfully complete the following nursing pre-requisites (with grade of C or above): statistics, human growth & development across the life span, human nutrition. Transcripts will be evaluated by the College of Nursing.




    I understood most part of it.
    How difficult are these pre-reqs? Can i complete them by the deadline for the next admission round ie May 2014? I Dont mind starting right away. Both of my kids are in med school and the fees are high,while i do have savings i would want to earn and support them rather then deplete my savings.

    Anyone here went to FIU?
    I would appreciate all the responses. I want to get back to a hospital and i know i belong there ! :)

    I would also appreciate it greatly if someone gave any info on what a FMG can do in USA. I dont mind a 50k/year job. Something is better then nothing :)

Any help would be appreciated !

I also have one more query regarding the validity of the degree given by FIU in other states. I mean its kind of vague to spend 50k in tuition if its valid only in Florida :)
