Hi Suzanne, I need your help... I'm actually in NYC and i'm studuing to take the NLCEX wuth a F1 visa. I have some questions important for my future life here (or not here...): - Should I begin the process with the visascreen now even if I don't pass the NCLEX yet and didn't finish the first process with the CGFNS? -Is it true that hospitals don't sponsor any immigrant nurses since october 2006? What do you think about that? Have I any chance to become a nurse here before 3 years? -I begin my process with the CGFNS in June 2007, how long does it take to obtain the ATT to take the NCLEX? I hope to hear you soon, I'm wondering if I stay here to take the NCLEX or If I come back to my country to take this exam... Thank you very much for your help!:balloons:
