Great Scott

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...

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...

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 ...

Myth, but with an interesting twist. If your test ends at the minimum amount of questions and you get the last one right it will not mean anything. You may be well under the passing competency after all. However, the further along you go the bette...

Okay, I understand that NCLEX uses adaptive testing and thus everyone is supposed to get 50% right. Those who are above a certain competency level pass and those who are under don't. The thing is you can theoretically be well above 50% by the minim...

Unoffical results are in. It says PASS!!! Best of luck to you all, hope you have as good news.

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...

Also taking my test on the 19th. Let's all post in this same thread if we passed or not. Good luck to the two of you!

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.

During my application I contacted Savonia Thorne and she put me in contact with Matthew Keiner (the head of the credentials verification department). After all the negatives I had heard about customer service and the like through CGFNS I was very pl...

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.

Ouch. So if I am reading this correctly it means that aside from waiting months for CGFNS to collect all the information necessary for my NYS application as an RN it will then take NYS a FURTHER 2-4 months to issue me the ATT after they receive all ...

This is proving more difficult than I expected and I was wondering if someone might be able to help. I am an American citizen who did all my basic schooling in NYC and then moved to Finland. Now I am about to finish up (no pun intended) a 3.5 year ...

Thanks again. Found the courses, registered and downladed the coursework. Looks interesting... Months to do it, huh? I guess that means that 4-6 weeks for CGFNS to process my application is a lie. I was afraid of that. I was guessing somewhere a...

That was amazing! Not only did your reply come in under 15 minutes, but it really made my day! Thanks for that, and very insightfull in telling me to relax. I think I understand much better now. Just going to have to read the CGFNS application fo...

Was wondering if somone could help me come up with good ideas for a theoretical framework to use for my thesis paper. I am doing a literature review on the medical calculation skills of nurses. All is going pretty well, I have good research questio...

Starting to despair a bit here... I am currently in my final year of a BSN program in Helsinki, Finland. For our last clinical practice it is strongly advised that we seek out a placement outside of Finland (our course has an emphasis in multi-cultu...
