wow! thanks for the info... plenty ko na learn from you.. have you gone through this process also? i am 90% sure that i will be going through the process of applying through the nursing council w/o an agency.. although im basing know-hows of the processing on the ones listed in the internet. if it's okay with you, can i have your email add, just so if i encounter things that are not clear to me, i could somehow ask you if ever you have an idea on what it means. really need help on this eh, especially applying w/o an agency, i need all the help i could get from people w/o know-hows. anyway, if its ok w/ u, please let me know.. thank you so much! god bless!
