    helloworld replied to ava'smomRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    helloworld replied to ava'smomRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know what you mean, that was my feeling too, initially. But it's really about strategy. I'm finding the decision tree really useful in answering the questions, and remember the Kaplan benchmark on...

    helloworld replied to suzanne4's topic in Immigration Advice

    I guess my question was, if I do have to go back for MSN at the end of my OPT without change of status, can I apply for working permission, would it CPT or what would it be? Since I will be an RN and...

    helloworld replied to suzanne4's topic in Immigration Advice

    OK, thanks for the answer. What would be the procedure/grounds for applying for a new EAD after OPT? I know that now I can apply under hardship conditions (which I don't have) or as part time on...
