  2. Visa screens?? Australian nurse wanting to work in USA

    zonnenschijn replied to ehic2604's topic in Immigration Advice

    I do believe you can get a temporary licence in CA while you wait for your SSN. Best to check with the BON in CA. You should be able to get E3 without a SSN in CA. Once you have your registration in...

    zonnenschijn replied to casserooni's topic in Immigration Advice

    hi ehic2604. Thanks for reply! I feel for you having to do 2 make up subjects. It's an expensive exercise that's for sure. When I first started researching visa options for the States I was made to...

    zonnenschijn replied to brissygal's topic in International Nursing

    Hey Sydneysista How is your application going? Are you in NYC yet? My application was refused by the BON in Vermont (after waiting for 9 months!!!!) as I did not have enough midwifery hours. I am now...

  8. Cgfns

    zonnenschijn posted a topic in International Nursing

    Does every State require the NCLEX as well as CGFNS? Seems crazy to have to do the same thing twice?! Surely if the BON gives you a license and you pass NCLEX it means you are qualified to work?...

    zonnenschijn replied to brissygal's topic in International Nursing

  14. Hey, any Aussies working in the USA?

    zonnenschijn replied to brissygal's topic in International Nursing

    I know it doesn't make sense but that is the info i got from BON in WI. My thoughts were the same, if i pass NCLEX then surely another exam isn't going to make any difference but that is how the BON...

  15. Hey, any Aussies working in the USA?

    zonnenschijn replied to brissygal's topic in International Nursing

    zonnenschijn replied to brissygal's topic in International Nursing

    Hi Susieok! Thanks heaps for your kind offer. How did you find the NCLEX? Did it take long for you to get your VSC? I am hoping the BON in WI only require the VSC and not also the CGFNS exam!...

    Thanks for all the info. I have spoken to an agency who have dealt with sending nurses to the States on an E3 visa and they assure me that I do qualify for the E3 and that it does not matter that my...

  20. Hey, any Aussies working in the USA?

    zonnenschijn replied to brissygal's topic in International Nursing

    OMG!! BON in WI requires CGFNS cert. as well!!!! Not all States require this right? Seems so crazy when it is exactly the same process as applying with a BON and sitting the NCLEX. Why have to do the...
