  1. Traumatized by lateral abuse

    SpidersWeb posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    I was traumatized last year by the abusive behavior of nurses and nursing assistants. The memories of this trauma keep haunting me to this day, and it is affecting my confidence in my new job....

  2. For anyone considering Capella for an MSN...

    SpidersWeb replied to NotMyProblem MSN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm surprised how easy it is to complete an MSN with perfect grades at Capella. Have you felt that your MSN actually prepares you to work in whatever setting you

  3. Finnish/EU Nursing Grad to US Licensure

    SpidersWeb replied to FinnNurse1's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks! I didn't have any issues with those hours. From what I know, in the UK you specialize early on but in Finland we have general degrees, so this difference plays a

  4. Dutch RN to California

    SpidersWeb replied to nickyjoy's topic in International Nursing

    Hi nickyjoy, I'm a Finnish RN with a Finnish BSN and my degree is more than equivalent to a US degree. I think HBO refers to a university of applied sciences (UAS), and this is the same in Finland...

  5. Finnish/EU Nursing Grad to US Licensure

    SpidersWeb replied to FinnNurse1's topic in International Nursing

    I'm a Finnish RN with a Finnish BSN and I applied with the Colorado BON. I don't think I needed the work experience for licensure but I'm with a recruitment company that wanted me to have at least 1...

  6. Degree recognition

    SpidersWeb replied to Scalzu87's topic in Nurse Registration

    Hey Scalzu87, What kind of problems is your school having with the forms? The breakdown of hours? I'm from Europe as well and I had some issues with counting the hours in my degree. I basically did...

  7. International graduate seeking advice for applying nclex

    SpidersWeb replied to Ibas's topic in Nurse Registration

    I was told that you should have a minimum of 40 h in theoretical instruction and 80 h in clinical practice in each specialty. You can't mix the two to make sure you have enough hours. You should have...

  8. German nurses in the US

    SpidersWeb replied to schwester23's topic in International Nursing

    I actually didn't have a very detailed transcript but that was fine. My degree included integrated courses and the transcript lists them this way instead of "Biology 101", for example. The point where...

  9. English exam...please help

    SpidersWeb replied to MioseRN's topic in Nurse Registration

    I looked up the equivalent score for the IELTS, which is what I took, and I don't think 83 (6.5 in the IELTS) is too difficult. I didn't really prepare for the exam, and in TOEFL terms, I got a score...

  10. German RN - Question regarding transcripts

    SpidersWeb replied to sdpatsfan12's topic in Nurse Registration

    I realize this is late for Dave and his wife but maybe you can benefit from this schwester23. Credentials evaluation depends on the state of your choice but my experience with Colorado board of...

  11. CES report

    SpidersWeb replied to Imreks2014's topic in Nurse Registration

    People have very different experiences with the CGFNS but I think they mention up to 10 weeks on their website. Personally, I received the report in 6 weeks after "ready for review" status. I think...

  12. License verification for visascreen

    SpidersWeb replied to sush41's topic in International Nursing

    If a CGFNS representative doesn't know license verification through Nursys is acceptable, there's a certain person you need to ask for. It's just that writing a name here will get censored due to...

  13. German nurses in the US

    SpidersWeb replied to schwester23's topic in International Nursing

    Is there anything I can help you with as a European RN? I'll ask my German colleague later if she's willing to go over these things with

  14. German nurses in the US

    SpidersWeb replied to schwester23's topic in International Nursing

    I thought any document that is created, signed and stamped by your nursing school is an original document. It just sounds absurd for them to deny a translation based on that

  15. Got the license what is the next step

    SpidersWeb replied to Em_il_1's topic in Immigration Advice

    To mention a few companies, so you can get to a reliable start in your search for the best fit for you: - Avant Healthcare Professionals - O'Grady Peyton International - PassportUSA - Interstaff,

  16. Got the license what is the next step

    SpidersWeb replied to Em_il_1's topic in Immigration Advice

    It's difficult if not impossible to get a direct hire based on what I've heard. Empirically, I'd say most internationally educated nurses use a recruitment company who will sponsor permanent residency...

  17. CGFNS expedition-time line

    SpidersWeb replied to softrock6257's topic in Immigration Advice

    I paid to expedite my CES report and it took exactly 5 days (counting the day of payment) to issue it. I didn't need to expedite my VS because after submitting all documents, it took 3 days to receive...

  18. Avant Healthcare

    SpidersWeb replied to smgrn's topic in International Nursing

    Avant requires the academic IELTS - regardless of requirements by a board of nursing or other instance. They ask for the IELTS results as you sign up with them. You'll need a 6 in reading, listening...

  19. Avant Healthcare

    SpidersWeb replied to smgrn's topic in International Nursing

    Avant will sponsor the NCLEX, including flights and accommodation. It's enough for the living costs but they will withhold what's theirs in order to get their investment back over the period of your...

  20. Avant Healthcare

    SpidersWeb replied to smgrn's topic in International Nursing

    Actually, the latest bulletin, August 2018, shows 6/1/2017, so it jumped 5 months. Maybe the good progress will continue and soon enough your PD could become

  21. Avant Healthcare

    SpidersWeb replied to smgrn's topic in International Nursing

    It's difficult to estimate your waiting time based on the information provided above. Is your country current or do you need to wait for your PD to become current? My country is current and my PD was...

  22. I-140 sent, now what?

    SpidersWeb replied to ICunursey's topic in Immigration Advice

    You need to wait for your I-140 to get approved and that could take 15 days (premium) or a couple of months, seeing that you're from the GB. After approval your case will be sent to National Visa...

  23. International student

    SpidersWeb replied to melh01's topic in Nurse Registration

    The BONs don't determine equivalency themselves, it's always assessed by a third party, like CGFNS or WES. These companies base their evaluations on actual credits. If you take a look at this document...

  24. International student

    SpidersWeb replied to melh01's topic in Nurse Registration

    I'll answer this one part of your post, In order to be authorized to take the NCLEX, you need to look at the criteria on a specific state's board of nursing (BON) website. Each state has slightly...

  25. Avant Healthcare

    SpidersWeb replied to smgrn's topic in International Nursing

    I've seen Illinois, Virginia, Wisconsin, Montana, one or both of the Dakotas and the Carolinas, Pennsylvania and Maine. These are the ones I can remember off the top of my head. Simkale mentioned 38...
