I am mexican, how can i prepare for the nclex test

Published

Hi, greetings to everyone.

I am a mexican nursing student. I am going to be a RN as soon as I finish my last two semesters of school and my social service in Mex. Since I was accepted in the Nursing faculty of my Sate's university I have been studying hard to someday work in the U.S. I have learned english on my own and I am one of the best students in the whole university. As I know I can't go to the U.S. as a registered nurse if I do not pass the NCLEX test and here in México it is so hard to get guiding material to prepare myself for the exam. That is why I want you to help me... how can I get the content of some helpful material like Prentice Hall and Kaplan. I do not have a laptop so it is hard for me to keep studying on a computer so I would be so thankful with you if you help me. I want to participate to reduce the increasing shortage of nursing professional in the U.S. and to have a better lifestyle that unfortunately it is hard for a mexican registered nurse to find here. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Sorry, my english is still bad.:)

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

For a start I suggest you read some of the other forums as currently many many new grads in the US as well as seasoned nurses are struggling to find a job so you may find it just as hard if not harder finding employer willing to assist with a NAFTA visa.

Resources like Saunders 4th edition comprehensive review book, Kaplan etc you can buy from Amazon or any other good book shops

Thank you very much...

Well, I don't have idea about how hard it is for a nurse to find a job in the U.S. but here in Mexico if you don't work for a burocratic institution you may never have a good salary and you don't have an idea how hard it is for me to work in such institutions because I do not have any relative working there and the job market opens applications recruitment about once every 6 years. Anyway, I have heard about many job offers in southern U.S. for bilingual nurses because many clients only speak spanish so I am preparing myself to work as a bilingual R-nurse. I trust myself and I know I'll get the job I want but, the hardest thing for me now that I have not finished my degree is to nkow how to start to prepare myself for the NCLEX, I ll find out about the editorial you told me about TY.:)

Suggest you look at the Saunders Comprehensive Review for preparing for the NCLEX. Good luck with your plans.

Hi I am quite sad because I had the TOEFL today and I feel I did not do so good. Something good is that I have learned that I will not always get what I want, I learned what it is like to fail at times and other good thing is that I saw some of my weaknesses at english, so I know where to start my studying plans. Thank you very much.:rolleyes:

By now it is like an impossible goal to be ready for the NCLEX RN but I know that as babies slowly learn to stand and walk, someday I will be able to take and pass my NCLEX RN. and I will acheve one of my primary goals, to migrate from MEX. Thanks. I ll be here to tell you about it :) bye bye

Hi Jose Maria!

I am from Colombia, I graduated 8 years ago and came to USA almost 6 years ago. Will be taking NCLEX on March 26. For us as international educted nurse it is more diffucult to pass the test. I will recomend you buy Sounders 4th edition and kaplan.

Hi!

I'm a nurse from Mexico but I'm also a US Citizen, I would really like to know if you're currently working in the US and how you did your process since I'm honestly lost and can't seem to find where to begin with mine.

Thanks in advance!
