  11. I kinda had the same problem before. I am not US-trained but I worked in Kansas for almost 3 years before applying to AHPRA. Kansas BON doesn't have a form for this either, coz like Texas, they only...
  12. I honestly have no clue right now since a lot has changed since I first applied for an RN license back in 2008. My two state BONs require them anyway so I did not bother looking into other states with...

    NCLEX will test your true knowledge about nursing. It measures your ability to analyze, organize, prioritize concepts/data/situation/cases in relation to your nursing practice. In that sense, it is...
