I am a foreign graduate, I graduated 2008 so its been 6 years and I just recently passed NCLEX on my second try. I know it took me this long but I have reasons the main cause of this delay is of course I didn't pass on my first try which is in 2010 and second is that being an international graduate living in the US it is a time consuming to send my paper works back and forth from here to where I graduated.I live in GA and license in FL, my concern is that I am not qualified to endorse my license which is FL to GA because I don't have 500 hrs. experience in state of FL and I've been out of school for 6 yrs. I was told by the customer service of the board of licensing that I can do a Re Entry, they have list of hospitals and colleges that had offered Re Entry program, and almost everything on the list don't do it anymore. I found one but its not a sure thing yet, does anybody on here know anybody or maybe themselves that went through the same thing and was able to do the Re Entry. I am willing to go anywhere in GA if there is just any college or hospital that will guarantee me that they will work with me on completing the refresher program.
