i am still here in the philippines and i've never been to australia. what could be the shortest route possible?

i am a filipino nurse and seeing that it will take a long time to get to the US (i already have a license in new mexico and complete visa screen certificate) i have decided to go to australia first while waiting for retrogression to ease up. i've gone to and read the websites of the australian embassy in the philippines, the australian immigration website, the ANMC website, etc. and still can't find where to actually start to get things rolling. i don't have an employer in australia. do i need to find an employer there first in order to start the process, or can i just start the process by myself? is assessment by ANMC the first step?

i really need help on this one. i have already passed the nclex and ielts, and my vsc is on final review but i still haven't found any potential employers in the states, preferably in california. i am getting tempted to go through agencies here in the philippines but most suggest that direct hire is still the best way to go. the problem is where do i even start to search for a hospital that is doing direct hire of foreign nurses? is there a website for this? where do i begin?

the new mexico nursing license does not have a picture in it. it only contains your name, license number, expiration date and the address of NM BON. kinda plain if you look at it. it also has a sort of hologram of a lamp in the lower right corner. i got mine 2 weeks after taking the nclex. got my results 2 days after the nclex.

my signature in my application and my passport does not include my full name written in script. but the photo id form says to write my full name in script form in the blank for the signature. should i just write my full name in script in the blank for the signature and then sign my usual signature in the picture?

how do i sign my photo in the photo id form for the VSC? should i sign my complete name in script like in the blank for the signature in the form, or should i sign it the way i usually write my signature?

i have a question with the photo id form for the visa screen. it says under the blank for the signature of the applicant: do not print - sign entire name (first, middle, last name). what does this mean? how do i do this? my signature does not even consist of my entire name.

you have to send them the complete application form and payment or they will not even begin to process your application

i just passed the nclex. yehey. took it last june 21 in hong kong. took me 86 questions. i checked the NM BON website license verification today and found my name and license number there. thanks to allnurses forums, suzzane for the review tips and all those who answered all my queries.

that's great to hear. im scheduled in hong kong for june 21. it took me around 2 weeks to get that schedule. just check up on the available slots as often as you can online. vacant slots just pop up almost at any time. dont call pearson for vacant slots, just check online often. when you find a vacant slot, call pearson IMMEDIATELY. before calling, ready your candidate number and the credit card details.

here's the timeline of my application to NM BON: dec.01 06 - my school sent my TOR and RLE to NM BON jan. 23 07 - i sent my application form via courier feb 13 07 - registered with pearson vue apr 20 07 - received my att from pearson vue via email

just got my ATT from pearson via email earlier today. finally, after almost 3 months of waiting. sent my application to NM BON jan. 23.

i emailed ms. vidaurri earlier and this was her reply: btw, i sent my application jan. 22.

dont worry about it too much. i sent my application jan. 22 and i still haven't received my approval. i should be more worried than you.

now this got me worried. it seems it takes much longer nowadays for NM BON to process foreign applicants. sent my application jan. 22 but my transcripts were sent by my school a month earlier. i also have not received my att from pearson ( i've registered with pearson already) but my application is only a month old. haven't emailed them yet anyway since the non-us forms clearly stated to wait at least 45 days before any inquiries will be entertained.
