thank you for your replies. greatly appreciated!!! =)

hi ssingh.. im so sorry to hear that.. but u have to remember.. that everything has a reason.. u may not know it now.. but soon.. i am now a RN (california) passed the nclex last 2003.. i am educated outside the US and thought I can never pass the test since I have no idea of Nursing in US.. besides.. I did nt have enough money to spend for a review.. so I studied on my own.. everything is a self study.. I read the fundamentals of nursing practice by Lippincott.. (version 6) i read that .. page by page.. and borrowed a kaplan book from my aunt who just passed the NCLEX.. with all the readings I did.. I also prayed.. luckily.. i passed the boards.. 75 questions in 45 minutes.. (after I left the testing area.. I thought I failed the test.. but did not lose hope and prayed a LOt.. after few days.. i got the congratulations letter.. always remember.......... there is always a rainbow after the rain. so cheer up! =)

hi wenndy.. mabuhay.. like u i am a BSN RN US and philippines and now NSW(sydney Australia.. I read ur inquiry and so i joined this forum.. well.. i dont know if this will help u.. but i hope it will.. I am a RN philippines and US.. I wanted to wrok in sydney too so i applied for a registration.. its very easy.. just go to its website.. Nurses and midwives board.. New south wales (sydney) and just download the form.. and send the requirements they need.. U just need to pay for the registration fee which i believe is 180 australian dollars. u can pay internet with the use of your credit card.. then just send ur documents (u dont need to send the originals.. just the notarized ones are OK.. I did everything by myself.. no help from anyone in Australia.. so I think u can do that too.. all u need r the necessary documents. after u get registered.. u can now look for a job in sydney.. then go from there.. info about me.. which could help u out.. Iam a BSN graduate (manila) and a Board passer too.. after the boards in manila I went to US and took the NCLEX and became a RN.. work there for 2 years as a RN.. then decided to work in other countries like australia since I have been there when i was a child and wanted to experience working in Sydney.. now.. I am a registered nurse in Australia(sydney) and waiting for my work visa... by the way.. the nurses board (sydney will require u to take the IELTS.. they are very strict with it.They asked me for my IELts even though I came from US.. they said.. its bec I was educated in Philippines.. luckily I already took that test and so I was able to provide my scores with them right away.. the whole processing of my license took 6 weeks.. =) hope this helps.. goodluck. just let me know if theres anything else i can help u with..
