  1. Filipino nurses in Texas

    Hushdawg replied to honeylove_joy's topic in Immigration Advice

    Or she could have made the same mistake that lots of people make in going to the USA on a tourist visa and hoping to convert it while there. 6 years ago that would have worked... not

  2. Filipino nurses in Texas

    Hushdawg replied to honeylove_joy's topic in Immigration Advice

    Where did she say that? I've reviewed the entire thread and that has not been discussed. What she said is that she came over to Texas immediately after taking local

  3. Filipino nurses in Texas

    Hushdawg replied to honeylove_joy's topic in Immigration Advice

    Of course the OP will have to pass English proficiency at some stage, but some state BONs drop the English proficiency requirement if the school can prove that the instruction is completely in...

  4. Filipino nurses in Texas

    Hushdawg replied to honeylove_joy's topic in Immigration Advice

    You wouldn't put in an application with outdated paperwork. That is precisely my point. The major problem with nurses asking friends who have already passed NCLEX or review instructors or researching...

  5. Filipino nurses in Texas

    Hushdawg replied to honeylove_joy's topic in Immigration Advice

    I could say the same for you. Actually a fairer statement would be that you are right... but SO last decade. According to CURRENT information, all 50 states and at least 5 territories require local...

  6. Filipino nurses in Texas

    Hushdawg replied to honeylove_joy's topic in Immigration Advice

    Also, some states which require IELTS/TOEFL as a precursor to eligibility for NCLEX are allowing Pinoys to skip English Language proficiency in recognition of the fact that Nursing education is done...

  7. Filipino nurses in Texas

    Hushdawg replied to honeylove_joy's topic in Immigration Advice

    Yes, you do. All states and territories in the USA require local license in order to process the application for licensure. There are some exceptions based on the individual but if the OP is a citizen...

  8. Middle Name?

    Hushdawg replied to lurrrve's topic in International Nursing

    That's how I would do it if I were you. except Lopez should be last

  9. Nclex Payment

    Hushdawg replied to gelyn8's topic in Philippines

    The point is that the lists are almost always incomplete and out of date. What I see here are nurses who follow these instructions TO THE LETTER and get requests from BON for all sorts of additional...

  10. Nclex Payment

    Hushdawg replied to gelyn8's topic in Philippines

    Skype is inexpensive FOR YOU Internet is available FOR YOU You are still making the same mistake that NCSBN and Pearson Vue and everyone else involved with NCLEX makes... you are still looking at...

  11. Taking the NCLEX in MANILA (Help please)

    Hushdawg replied to stsinner's topic in Philippines

    Getting help with ATT and scheduling the exam has nothing to do with competancy.. if you'd actually read my statement you would understand that. FACT is that very few Pinoy nurses have credit cards or...

  12. Nclex Payment

    Hushdawg replied to gelyn8's topic in Philippines

    Everything still has to be done by mail for international applicants. International phone calls are STILL very expensive, especially when you have to wait on hold for 30-40 minutes before even talking...

  13. Nclex Payment

    Hushdawg replied to gelyn8's topic in Philippines

    If we were talking about things 10 to 15 years ago then I would totally agree with you. Things are very different now; the application procedure for international nurses is more complex in the...

  14. Nclex Payment

    Hushdawg replied to gelyn8's topic in Philippines

    Interesting. I'd like to take a poll to see how many nurses in the USA are using tax services. Also, how many of them are still able to use a 1040ez instead of a standard 1040. US nursing graduates...

  15. Taking the NCLEX in MANILA (Help please)

    Hushdawg replied to stsinner's topic in Philippines

    You only have an eligibility letter right now, the ATT must be registered through Pearson Vue. If you have a credit card then you can do it yourself on the website, if not then you can use the...

  16. Nclex Payment

    Hushdawg replied to gelyn8's topic in Philippines

    Regarding the discussion over whether or not applications are hard. I've heard this argument before many years ago when I was trying to decide whether or not to do my income taxes myself or go to a...

  17. Nclex Payment

    Hushdawg replied to gelyn8's topic in Philippines

    You don't have to have a social security number to take NCLEX, many states require it in order to release the license once you have passed

  18. Nclex Payment

    Hushdawg replied to gelyn8's topic in Philippines

    promise i'm not a lawyer.. i actually avoid them whenever possible. i always encourage nurses to think beyond the application process and think about career paths. applying to a state "just to get...

  19. I do not care anymore

    Hushdawg replied to JB2007's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations.. you are experiencing burnout. A change will do some good. Vacation time, seminars, anything that can help you detach for a bit and come back to the job with a fresh

  20. Germophobic considering Nursing. please help!

    Hushdawg replied to kgard7777's topic in General Nursing

    If you want to help people and are a germophobe then you should consider working in an administrative position with a humanitarian aid organization. You could coordinate everything from fund raising...

  21. Does "Looking Good" help you get the nursing job?

    Hushdawg replied to Brother-of-Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    It isn't about appearances, it is about confidence and how you carry yourself. I have interviewed beautiful people and have not hired them because they are not confident in themselves. On the...

  22. Nclex Payment

    Hushdawg replied to gelyn8's topic in Philippines

    I am not trying to beat a dead horse but I just want to reiterate the statistics based on the Philippines alone: FACT: 20-30% of all applicants make mistakes in the application process FACT: The...

  23. Nclex Payment

    Hushdawg replied to gelyn8's topic in Philippines

    Silverdragon, honestly that all depends on the state one is applying. Some states are relatively easy to handle the application but others are intensely more complex. Now practically all states are...

  24. Turned Down and My Position Given to a "Me Speaka No"

    Hushdawg replied to WoofyMutt80's topic in General Nursing

    This makes no sense, in order to be able to work as a nurse in the USA, any immigrant nurse must pass English proficiency in order to get the visa (that is, if the state board doesn't require it...

  25. Nclex Payment

    Hushdawg replied to gelyn8's topic in Philippines

    of course the nurse will have to gather the documents. very few schools will permit someone to get tor and such for a third party, also how can anyone but the nurse get fingerprinting? the major...
