Hi Karen, regarding the NCLEX, I studied myself, I did get a few good books to help and a disc off ebay for kaplan test questions - I thought they were most like the real exam. How many questions did you have to answer? Did they give you any feedback...

Hi! I'm a little behind you. I passed NCLEX in May 2007 but have not applied yet for visa screen, I hope to do that soon as I know it can take a while to come through. I didn't do the CGFNS as I'm trying to go to CA which doesn't require it. We decid...

Well, kind of true (waiting for patients to report adverse effects). But, before a drug even hits the market it will have to have undergone several clinical trials (from phase I to phase III) taking up to approx. 10 years!! Although, side effects can...

Hi, No I don't think it is used, I've not heard of it in our ICU or CCU and it's certainly not in our bnf. From what I can gather drugs can come out in the states for a few years before we get them ( I used to work in clinical drug trials) Janelola

Hi, I worked in opd general for 3 years. I agree with scattycarrots' comments about eye related tasks to be learnt and done. Generally though I did find that working in opd was more about keeping the clinic moving on time, for instance one nurse woul...

Okay okay!! :sofahider Was meant with tongue in cheek, but not entirely I suppose, so fair point!!!! Janelola

Hi, I haven't encountered this particular problem, but have dealt with payroll before with a back pay issue. My advice would be to ask to speak to the manager and explain your unusual situation and ask if you could be considered a priority case as y...

Hi, Well, the reason nobody ever talks about the NCLEX is that you are supposedly forbidden to repeat anything you saw in the exam. (Did you ever see 'Fight Club'? ("The first rule about fight club is that you do not talk about fight club"!!). Anyway...

Wow - it actually let me in this time. So ,yes, I may be able to pop in! Is it just the general chat room? Or is there a sub-forum thingie? Janelola

Hi, Seems I am still locked out of the chat room!! I did have an email back from someone 'up there' who said that a few people have been having problems - this was 2 weeks ago tho'!! Good luck at the dentist! Janelola x

:smackingf, sorry for the repeat. Janelola

hi, can i ask? i have the visa screen 2007 application form and it asks me which occupational visa i am asking for - h-1b, h-1c, 212®, tn(status), permanant (green card). help! which one do i want? i thought you stated that there were no h-1b visas??...

no, I've just logged out of allnurses completely then logged back in and it let me in, then clicked on chat and straight away comes up with a log in box saying incorrect user name or password, so I put in exact user name and password used to log on i...

Nope! I'm using my user id and password but it keeps saying incorrect user name or password? What am I doing wrong? Thanks Janelola

Hi, Well, now it's letting me onto the page but is asking for a user name and password so I'm putting the allnurses one in and it won't accept it? Do I need a separate username and password? Thanks Janelola

Hi, I was going to pop into the chat room tonight for a look-see, but it won't let me in! Why? I'm not a premium member but have over 15 posts and have been a member since ?last year? Any tips?? It just says this page cannot be displayed. Thanks Jan...

hi, i just want to say that i'm off sitting the nclex exam this friday and i'm absolutley pooing it - that's all i can say without swearing!! i'm now going through the 'have i studied/done enough? i used various study aids, in fact if anybody ever me...

thank you all !! I'm soo excited!! Janelola

I PASSED !!! :roll Can't quite believe it yet!! Results came today! Just thought I'd let y'all know! Thanks again for all your support. Erm..........................what do I do now??? Janelola x

Hi, I know it's not all over (shame) but how long did it last (up to now?) Thanks Janelola

Hi, How long did this current retrogression actually last for? Or at least how long were the visa's put on hold? I'm just wondering as it may be a reflection on what happens in the future when I'm about to apply. Thanks Janelola

Hi and :welcome: , From what I gather (I'm pretty new here too!), you have to be a general trained nurse RGN in order to gain employment in USA, or certainly for the agencies to be able to help you. i'm sure I'm I'm wrong someone will point you in th...

Hi, Since you are not a registered nurse you cannot practice your nursing skills, sure you can get a job as a nursing assistant, but you will not be licenced to practice your nursing skills, and would be fully accountable for your actions if you cho...

Hi, I sat my NCLEX last week and I still feel crap! I always said I did not want to be sat in front of that computer in London thinking "I wish I'd have done more studying", anyway, last week I sat there thinking that very thing!! It's a horrid feeli...

Hi, Thanks everyone for your kind words and encouragement. I've another question. I know that you only need to pass NCLEX once, but, does it have an expiry date, as in, you have to get to the USA and start practicing within a certain time after pass...
