Ms. Suzanne, Greetings from the Philippines. I am a new member all though I have been reading the forums for a week now. May God bless you for your dedication and advocacy to helping nurses. I have learned a lot from this site. It's nice to know that there are sites like these that helps nurses. I will surely recommend this site to my friends. I am in the Philippines now, waiting for my eligibility from CA Board of Registered Nursing. I applied last November 2006. I wish I have known of this site so I could have been more informed regarding which state to apply. Anyways, I'm in the process of completing my application for Visascreen. I have my IELTS already. I have one question though, aside from posting my resume here, I am also planning to send resumes online to facilities in California. What are my chances of my application entertained even if I do not have a CA RN license yet and to top it all, I do not have work experiences as a nurse. I'm planning to work after I take ny NCLEX in HK hopefully soon. Thanks again.
