Welcome to the family. :balloons:

how is everything?im in columbia southcarolina.i have visit the nursing board website here,and im suppose to take TOEFl,an exam for all foreign educated student,purely based on english and i gotta have a credential evaluation done before applying for the exam.presently im preparing to take this english exam and do the rest as required.im still waiting for my immigration stuff,i have applied for my working permit and i was told i have to wait for sometime and it will be posted to me.my immigration stuff is still on process and i thankGod all is going fine.have got a k1 visa and that entitle's me to work when i have recieve my working permit card,that i believe will be posted soon because its taken more than a month now.i think i will stop here for now,thanks so much for this concern God bless you.hpoe to hear from you.:loveya:

Which state are you in? The first thing that you need to do is apply to that state for licensure. But before you do that, what type of visa are you currently on? If not already with a green card, then taking the NCLEX-PN exam will be of no use as you will not be able to get a visa that permits you to work with that.

What you would be able to do is take the exam if permitted, then go on and complete what we call a bridge program to get your RN. Then you will be set for immigration here.

I will be more than happy to help you, but I need more details first, especially on immigration status.:wink2:

thanks i will do that,as you have suggested.quote=suzanne4]My suggestion would be to take care of the Credential's Evaluation now, it will take several months for that to get donw and you will not be permittied ti write the NCLEX exam until your credentials have been accepted by your Board of Nursing.

There is nothing that you have to do for it other than fill out the forms and mail it in. It doesn't require any studying on your part.

thank you.

Welcome and good luck to you!
