Hey fellow nurse, I am in exactly the same situation as yours. I gave up nursing in 2008 after 12 years of practice;but strangely I want to go back now. So,yeah I am studying to take nclex...I figured it s better than taking refresher course. Whether you take the exam or the class , you can do it!!Don't be discouraged by the ridiculous requirements of the bon's;they 'll be more than lucky to have an experienced nurse like you. God be with you.

Dear fellow nurses, Greetings. I have been a nurse for 12 years in my country( Ethiopia); and then came a time that I wanted to make a career change and I did. However, I knew that I will come back, and didn't realize that it is almost 10 years since my license expired. And I have decided that , I will make it happen no matter what. Currently I live in Dubai, and they do not have a refresher course or anything that encourages nurses like me. So I wanted to give USA a try. So I did the CGFNS CES report last year( and also English proficiency) And thanks to this site, I am aware of the next steps to follow , but I am stuck in the " taking NCLEX" part; I am so scared to take the exam; but I will do it. My question is.. what are the possibilities of me getting back to nursing? After I passed the NCLEX ,can the BON accept me to practice even if my license expired long time ago?Or do I have to go to school anew? I really appreciate if you can explain. Many thanks in advance.
