   Great, thanks! :)

2. Nursing in Wellington, especially LTC

   Elleann replied to Elleann's topic in International

   Sorry, didn't mean to offend. So, are you saying that within retirement communities, there is no specific facility where a resident would be admitted on a permanent basis for frail care, that such a person would have to live in a private hospital?!?...

3. Nursing in Wellington, especially LTC

   Elleann replied to Elleann's topic in International

   Maybe I should clarify! :) By LTC (long term care) I mean eldercare or geriatric care within residential retirement facilities - patients would be in either the frail care or dementia units, or even in assisted living units. Would that be the same th...

4. Nursing in Wellington, especially LTC

   Elleann posted a topic in International

   Hello. I'm interested in hearing from RNs working in Wellington, particularly in LTC facilities as this is where I am looking for a job. Can anyone tell what it is really like? Any kind of information would be great, as I am just trying to build up...

   Thanks for the reply, sorry for the misposting of the query!

6. Moving from South Africa to NZ

   Elleann posted a topic in International

   Hello. I'm starting the process of getting registered with the NZNC. When I contacted a medical recruitment service in NZ, the consultant said that registration usually takes 3 - 4 months if all the paperwork is correctly submitted. I noted from read...

7. Can your NCLEX results 'expire'?

   Elleann replied to Elleann's topic in International

   Thanks. Yes I do know about retrogression (the factors beyond my control I mentioned). I'm just feeling pretty devastated at present as I recently learned that my I-140 was denied, and it's not my fault!!! I was working with a small CA agency throu...

8. Can your NCLEX results 'expire'?

   Elleann posted a topic in International

   This may sound like a silly question but I really need to know! I'm in South Africa and took my NCLEX in June 2006 as part of my emigration process and passed first time. I did it through the VT Board of Nursing. My VT license was renewed and expire...

9. Nclex London - over at last!! :-)

   Elleann replied to Elleann's topic in NCLEX

   Rachelle, I am still in SA... my I-140 application went in to the INS in January this year and we are still waiting for that to be processed, but it IS underway. Apart from that, though, apparently there is a huge backlog in terms of the priority dat...

10. Nclex London - over at last!! :-)

    Elleann replied to Elleann's topic in NCLEX

    Hi Rachelle Wow, it seems like such a long time ago now - I took my test last year in June! :-) I allowed myself a week in the UK but I had family I wanted to see (which also meant I had a place to stay!). I flew in on a Sunday morning, took the tra...

11. Nclex London - over at last!! :-)

    Elleann replied to Elleann's topic in NCLEX

    I started reviewing clinical content last year in Nov or so, but only got serious about studying in Feb this year and wrote in June. If you are confident in your clinical content - your academics etc - the BEST thing you can do is first learn about ...

12. Nclex London - over at last!! :-)

    Elleann posted a topic in NCLEX

    I took my NCLEX in London on Friday morning at 11. The test was actually great - same as most of you, I got TONS of priority, lots of infection control, 6 or 8 select all that apply, NO calculations, and very little psychosocial / therapeutic communi...

13. What is your test day plan?

    Elleann replied to TLC RN's topic in NCLEX

    I believe that eating a high protein breakfast will keep your brain in better shape for the test than eating a high carb breakfast - so I'm going for the scrambled eggs on toast instead of just fruits and grains. Is one allowed to take snacks into t...

14. mosby's cat test for nclex

    Elleann replied to traumahawk99's topic in NCLEX

    That's weird. I also bought the online testing product but it worked perfectly for me without the need to phone them for ID or anything. And I live in South Africa, so a call to get ID would probably have double the price of the product, hee hee!! ...

15. Pre-NCLEX stress ...

    Elleann posted a topic in NCLEX

    Hey guys, I'm taing the nclex in less than three weeks, but right now I'm trying to cope with some major stresses on the home front . I was originally scheduled to take the exam in London on June 1st (flying over from Cape Town) but two weeks ago, my...
