Thanks redranger. I'm in Maryland and hope it's still to get a job after I pass the NCLEX.

Thanks Alexk49. I have a green card already.

I want to find a nursing related job in USA but I haven't take NCLEX exam yet. I'm going to attend the exam this year. What kind of job should I looking for?:)

Thanks again.

Thank you for your advice. I'll check on the ETS site for the English tests.

Hi all, I am a new comer and want to know more about nursing career in the States. First of all, I have to get the license. Here is my situation: I was a registered nurse in Hong Kong and moved to Maryland in Dec., 2006. I had applied the examination packet in Oct., 2006 and followed the steps to apply the credential evaluation from CGFNS. I got the credential evaluation report (applicant copy) in April 2008. I plan to take the nursing licensure examination this year. I learned from the website of MBON that I have to reapply the examination packet because it expired already. However, I want to ask 1. should I take the English test after I receive the packet or could I take it now? 2. do I take either TOEFL iBT or TSE? 3. will the application period be extended if I can't pass English Test within one year? 4. is the credential evaluation report from CGFNS still valid? Or should I apply the credential evaluation again? I've sent emails to MBON for the above questions but there is no reply from them. Just curious to know whether they will reply any inquiries. I also want to ask which English test TOEFL, TSE or ILA-OPI, is easier for a nonnative English speaker? Could anyone give me some advices on the above inquiries.

Thanks.
