HI, I just want to know if there are any LPN graduates who are neither a US citizen or Green card holder who have tried applying for Licensure in New Mexico? How did the CGFNS processing go? Thanks

Hi, Thanks for all the info. Our school has adopted the Louisian state board of nursing curiculum for LPN. I have made inquiry with the Board, they confirmed that our school is the only foreign school they honored.Would this have any implication on my application to find an employer in Lousiana and apply for a working visa? Assuming that I have taken NCLEX-PN and passed it. Thanks.

Hi, I just graduated from an LPN program here in the Philippines last January and I am currently confused on which state should i Apply to for licensure. I'm overwhelmed, thinking about all the exams that I have to take( IELTS,CGFNS and NCLEX-PN) as required by the different state. I'm looking for a state that I can easily apply to,has lots of job opportunities and a reasonable salary. I did some research and as of 2006 survey it seems that Connecticut and New Jersey pays at $22-25 per hour. But i dont know which city and what facilities offer this? Totally clueless.... Thanks XXXooooXCXXXX
