Hi everyone! I'm wondering if there's anyone that has the same case as mine. I am an foreign educated nurse (Philippines) who is now Canadian citizen and licensed and working as an RN here in Ontario, Canada or 3.5 years. I would like to work or get licensed in USA.
Here are my questions:
1. Do I still need to renew my Philippine nursing license for CGFNS reference? My dilemma is i haven't renewed my license since 2012 so it would be a lengthy process if I do need to.
2. Is there any way I can bypass the English proficiency? Maybe get a certificate that method of teaching and materials were delivered in English? -- Can't CNO just submit my language proficiency result to the licensing state?
3. Any Canadians there who moved to USA? What were your experiences with regards to finding employer/recruiter or migrating?
Any response would really be appreciated. Thank you so much!
To me it's pretty silly to require a person from Philippines to take a English Exam. Business is conducted in English in PHilippines.
Have you ever sad through a report wher yo can't understand 50% of what the Charge has to say? Where the oatients gender keeps changing in every sentence the Charge utters?
Wait, you are not a nurse! You have no idea at all. Just you unusual jingoistic dribbling
I am a Canadian educated, Canadian RN. I now work in the USA. I had to write my NCLEX-RN exam and do a CGFNS visa screen. I applied for a license in Minnesota, even though I did not wish to work there because I heard it was the easiest state to receive a license. I then transferred my license to Oregon, where I now work. I am currently struggling to transfer my license to California because they state my education is deficient in obstetric and psychiatric nursing. I would love any advice or tips with this issue.
I think you will have to ask the BON on how to comply with the deficiencies. Maybe you can ask the board if you can take courses in Oregon? While you work there you can go to school and comply with the requirements. That is what I am planning of doing should they send me back to school too. I am still waiting for their decision. I just recently provided my SSN but I did get an approval back in 2007 and didn't receive my license pending SSN.
