Hello everyone!! :0) I'm a nursing student at UCC in New Jersey just about to finish my first semester. I've wanted to be a nurse for so long, but so far everything is working against me. The problem is that I do not have working papers in this country, even though I've been here since I was 3 years old. I'm totally americanized, but i am not able to work. does this mean that i won't be able to take the NCLEX? is there any way that I can sign a work contract with a hospital? i'm so lost, confused and sad. if anyone has any information, please let me know. -cpfnava
