Hi Dudette, The course I took was 240ECTS and 3.5 years long. Considered a BsN in Europe and here as well. I am actually from New York, but I did my studies in Finland. Good luck to you.

Thanks very much Kris. Actually they were first on my list when I was looking for a job. The only thing is they really gave me the runaround when I was trying to schedule an interview. Really soured me to the whole thing. Still, I have only heard...
As a new graduate who studied in Europe and moved back to NYC I applied at quite a number of hospitals. The first one that offered me a job was Lenox Hill in Manhattan. Now I think it's okay over there. Not bad really, but living in Northern Queen...

Was my pleasure, though I don't think I helped much. Congrats to you and best of luck in the field. I am currently in my 1st week of orientation and amazed at how much I still have to learn.

Of course it is hard to say with any level of certainty, but I would GUESS that you did pass. Try and remember the question before that and the one before that. If you answered your last 3 or so in a row correctly it would be nearly impossible for ...

Okay, so how was it AmyNurse03? Mine was interesting. I don't even want to make a guess as to whether I passed or not. Some things I knew, others I did not. I had lots of priority questions, lots of calculations, some new format questions. I wo...

Thanks Suzanne. Actually if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have known where to start, who to talk to or what to do. I am indebted to you and eternally grateful for all your advice.

Trying to avoid sending a private message since the info given to me may help other people. I am an American who received his nursing education in Finland and is trying to get the ATT for the NCLEX in New York. Problem is the process is taking long...

Well I graduated in May from a Polytechnic with a Bachelors in Nursing and right now am going through all the lengthy paperwork that will allow me to work in the US as a nurse. I will let you know how easy it is after all is said and done.
