Hi I am from the Uk and have been reading this whole Nclex subject to get my head round the topic as I am due to qualify in Aug and am looking at moving over to the US after gaining 6-12 months experience first. It seems quite complex and naturally the differing language doesn't help so I need to become familiar with all the different terminology. What I don't understand is the "secrecy" thing about the actual questions, if there are such a range and you get anything up to 265 why is it nobody has actually specified any questions, are you banned from doing so? I certainly believe in repetition for me, that works well for me, but obviously planning in advance is good hence why I am lookign into it now. I am going to an exhibition on Monday where there will be a US Nursing agency so I can ask questions and maybe get things explained better but I know it's what I want to do, I have wanted to work in the US for some time now it's just getting the wheels in motion. Can you offer any advice on this? Many thanks. x

Thanks to you all actually I am a bit lost trying to find my way round but will get there eventually. I am looking at relocating to Pheonix. We have friends there and he already knows someone who does the recruiting at a hospital there ( don't know which I imagine there are many). But it is something we had already thought about especially with the way things are over here being so dire (NHS jobs etc). I will try checking out those bits you mentioned. I will be doing (hopefully) my management placement on a surgical ward which includes high dependency patients which I have worked on before and I reallly enjoyed. Am about to do my next placement in ICU which I am looking forward to and have just done one in A&E so I am getting a good taste of things. We do a short stint in the other branches but like you say they may not be long enough (particularly the child we only get a short one on that). But we do 4 weeks on mental health and learning disability. Anyway I will have a mooch round and see what I can find, many thanks for your support. Jx

Thanks Reese that's kind of you. I am still trying to find my way around this forum so it will take me a while to get used to it and find what I am looking for. Jx

Hi I am new, my hubby found this website and suggested I join. I am currenlty a 3rd year student in England. Qualify next August, long-term I am considering moving to the US as I have friends out there and it has always appealed to me. Anyone know more information about getting over and how long you need to be qualified for before being able to get a job etc. Many thanks. Jx
