My agency cannot find a job for me after 4 months in USA

Published

I took the NCLEX in Cali board in 2008 but I don't have a license and then endorsed to New York in 2022. I came in the USA in March 2023 in California and I applied a license in California, however my ascessor required my IELTS in Speaking 8.0 and overall 6.5 ( I got Speaking 7.5 and overall 6.5). Then my agency suggested me to endorse my New York license to Minnesota instead. Unfortunately, the MN nursing board denied my process because I need to get a license from where the place I took the NCLEX. This mean that I has been in the USA without incomes for 4 months now. 

I request my agency to work in New York but they don't have any hospitals' contract there. They are trying to findout some helps to endorse me to other states that will accept my California's NCLEX result and then to endorse me to Minnesota.

I complianed to them that I don't have any money to spent on my daily's expenses and I need to wait until they findout the solutions for me.

I want to wok in New York, but they said that I need to pay $28,000 before quitting due to the contract. I don't know what I should do eventhoug they offer a free housing in Minnesota.

Please give me some suggestions for this situation.

Regards,

Try Indian Health Service. We had a ton of nurses from the Philippines when I worked on the Navajo reservation.

 I would have a lawyer look at your contract for you just because the contract says these things doesn't mean its enforceable they have to be reasonable I would document to the agency that their contract parameters are fine but you are willing to work they are unable to provide you said work and therefore holding you in a state of unemployment. Document everything

Oh no so sorry to hear that... Hopefully you are in a better position now.

I do find this on the NCLEX website 'The NCLEX can be taken in any state convenient to you. The results will be directed to the nursing regulatory body where you applied for your authorization to test (ATT) and licensure.'

So how come MN nursing board saying that? Is that even correct?
