Here is the website where you can download the application for New York. http://www.op.nysed.gov/nurse.htm I am not sure about the other states so I can't enlighten you about them. I think Texas requires that you have the locals. California and Ver...

I am from the Philippines, too. I suggest you apply for the state of New York. The license is renewable online after 3 years. I don't think you are required an SSN before you could renew. Also, you don't need the local boards to be able to apply. ...

Oooh, I am very interested in Public Health. I have a B.S. in Public Health before I went to Nursing. I don't see any postings for a Public Health nurse anywhere, though.

I believe there will always be nursing shortage. But I don't think this economy can accommodate the shortage right now. I am a new grad who just passed the NCLEX and damn, is it hard! I am about to take anything just to get my feet wet. This certa...

I agree..now is not the time to give up. Keep your hopes up.

For New York, it's not an exam (credential verification only). For other states requiring CERTIFICATION, i believe it's an actual exam.

the cgfns is for those who graduated outside the u.s. so yes, even if you are a u.s. citizen, you need to go through their verification/certification. my husband is a citizen and i am a permanent resident and we both had to go through it because we ...

Yes I have. I took it last Feb 17. With a lot of prayers and a little bit of luck, I passed in my first try. You can do it, too:D

my scores only ranged from 67-78%. i passed the test with 75 questions. have a little faith in yourself:nurse:

I think you should be good. (in terms of credentials). That's what my CGFNS info was saying when everything is fine and info has already been transmitted to the BON of the State I applied to. A week after report has been submitted, if I remembe...

I was aiming for 80% all the time...but got around to just making mostly around 70-ish percent%...or sometimes even only above 60% on bad days... I passed the exam at 75 questions.... My husband never had the patience, though. He always always gets...

I came from the Philippines, too. I just took the NCLEX for New York 2 weeks ago and passed ( I am in New Jersey). When they mail my license, I will apply for licensure by endorsement here in Jersey. New Jersey requires the Philippines boards, bu...

CONGRATS! Great job!

Probably not in real life, definitely not the best answer...but NCLEX is a $#$%***!!!:angryfire..and it's supposed to be ideal. I think the rationale behind that answer is that it allows the patient to go through the NORMAL grieving process, without...

Well, you need to have a background of the diseases/illnesses. I noticed that if something is expected of a situation, then it is less of a priority. Like a person with asthma who is wheezing comes only 2nd to a person who is on IV who is suddenly...

I studied meds and knew when to take them and knew the adverse side effects of each. But all the meds I saw during my NCLEX exam were no where to be found in any of the books I studied. I did not get any olols, mycins, prils, azoles....none of the ...

Great job. Now put a smile in your face. The agony is over!!

Goodluck!!

I passed!!!!!! I can't freakin' believe it!!!!!:yeah:

I will find out tomorrow if I passed (or maybe tonight). No computations, around 7-8 SATAs, a lot of meds and prioritization. I had a lot of infection control, too. And oh, discharge teachings.

Same here. Took it yesterday. Shut-off at 75. I don't know how to start again. I know I failed.

i found the questions very simple and direct but the choices where so whacked. i wasn't sure in any of my answers. i feel so dumb. even my one and only delegation question was confusing for me.

Mine stopped at 75 and I almost burst into tears:crying2: I had a lot of infections control and meds. No math, maybe 7 SATAs. I am very disheartened. I just took mine this morning.

I will feel a lot better if it stopped at 160 and then I failed.... But to stop at 75.... This will be the longest two days of my life...

I took mine today, as well. The computer shut-off at 75.
