Hi everyone
I have a short question: What job can I find until to pass the RN Exam(NCLEX)?
I'm a international nurse with 10 years experience in Europe and I really have a financial need.

Probably just about any kind of job that you want, with the exception of nursing. Retail, perhaps?
You could possibly work as a nursing assistant (CNA) but some facilities require a certification for that position. I doubt that you want to take a CNA class if you're already an experienced nurse.

Try jobs within the medical field where you can draw on your nursing experience but do not require any license or certification. Patient Care Technician at a kidney dialysis facility, psych. tech, some states do not require certification for pharmacy technicians, medical receptionist. Sometimes home health equipment companies will hire nurses as sales reps. You won't make the same money, but at least it would be something until you get licensed. Good luck! You may want to go and talk to a nurse recruiter at your local hospital & see if they have any suggestions for you, sometimes they can steer you in the right direction.
Thanks roser13
