Foreign RN moving to MA

Published

Hi,

I've never been to Boston or to any place in Massachusetts, but based on the information I've found on the Net and from message posts in this forum, Massachusetts seems like a great place to settle in.

I'd like to throw a question for those of you already living in the state: I'm planning to take my NCLEX there. Granted that I pass the exam, do you think one month is enough to get an interview at a decent hospital and get a job offer? My current tourist visa could probably get me only a three-month stay in the US. If my only option is to go back to the Philippines while processing my papers, then I won't mind doing so as long as I already have a job offer. Do you think I can take the NCLEX, get the results and apply for a job in three months?

Thanks in advance.

I see that new grads are finding it difficult to find their first job, I would think it would be harder for a foreign grad with no experience.
