  5. New grad Filipino nurse wanting to work in Australia/New Zealand Part 2

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

    re: to take IELTS or not. just my opinion, it's better to take IELTS (or OET) now and be done with it, instead of trying to get through the process convincing yourself that you won't need it. Because...

  6. University in Australia offering Nursing Conversion Program

    iamnomad replied to alchemy's topic in International Nursing

    iamnomad replied to helpseeker's topic in International Nursing

  11. New grad Filipino nurse wanting to work in Australia/New Zealand Part 2

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

    I did the same thing: I sent ALL the documents to their GPO address. US Postal Service and FedEx rerouted the mail to the office address. So I guess it really doesn't matter where you send it....

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

  18. CGFNS Exam: Passed or failed?

    iamnomad replied to cleo2uluv's topic in International Nursing

    oh no, Silverdgragon is not saying that you are "retrogressive". And it's not offensive. Retrogression means there's no immediate availability of immigrant visas that will allow you to work in the US....

    iamnomad replied to cleo2uluv's topic in International Nursing

    CGFNS exam was once used by majority (or considerable number) of states to assess whether an international/foreign nurse is eligible to be registered as a nurse here in the US. It's just one of the...

    iamnomad replied to cleo2uluv's topic in International Nursing

    iamnomad replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurse Registration

    iamnomad replied to berNERD's topic in International Nursing
