Thank you dear nurses for your responces!I thought it was not right either.This is very small agency cannot find enough nurses.

Can PRN nurses be forced to be on call as needed every other week for SOC without on-call pay (only SOC rate is paid+$20 xtra).DON statement it is mandatory.No phone answering in this case. Is this legit?

I am happy FOR YOU!:up:Where are you planning on working? I will try to call you when I can.

GREAT post ! I have been learning English since i was 6 years old but really had to use it after i moved here at 25 . And there is no way for me to get rid of the accent even if I do speak the language everyday at home.Some people have a very heavy accent and not much of a chance to use the language at home. I do speak Russian and do work for mostly Russian speaking Home Health agency.Not because of the language barrier but because of the flexibility I have with my two little kids. But that was a great point you provided!

HI! Sorry to hear about this:angryfire you know if somebody is pleasant and smiling in your face really doesn't mean anything in this culture it is just being nice.. How long you have been living in US, what do you speak at home? My advice would be just to keep trying ...don't let anyone to discourage you and sooner or later you WILL pass it.It is just a matter of time.

Just do the other test.

Now... I don't get it.... what Toefl has to do with the endorcement if you are ALREADY licenced? i don't even know my scores from Toefl:smokin: I guees it's Oklahoma BON thing?...

How about to take some other test but TOEFL? Does OK BON will accept anything else?Do you have already CGFNS certificate?because for that they require either of those English tests. I have a friend she didn't pass Toefl but did CGFNS exam, so she tried other test(I don't remember which one though)..........She has been RN for 2.5 years now and doing just fine.

LOVE ARIZONA! USED TO LIVE IN MESA before moving to MI. Now we are in TX and it's OK, better than Michigan anyway.Would go back to AZ if I had a chance:redbeathe How is the job market in AZ right now?

I have done CP program with CGFNS because at that time we lived in michigan and mi accepts both CES and CP certificate.We were moving to TX when I was approved to sit for CP exam. So then when i passed it, instead of applying for TX board and reevaluating my education again(more time and I don't want to deal with CGFNS again EVER!) i recevied MI RN license and endorsing it to TX , so I have temporary TX licence right now. And yes CGFNS wanted my school to send the papers again to them since they didn;t have some hours separately which was OK for CP progam but not OK for CES. You know how long it will take to recieve anything from Ukraine again... SO I said what the ...... eat my money for CES and i am not doing this again. It took me 4 years to deal with CGFNS with their CP and I am fed up with them!But if you can wait then do the CES service. Did you have to pass CP exam? or what kind of exam did you have? For what state?

HI neighbor ! More then in one way.... I am ukrainian and in TX. I am RN . So why would not you endorse that other licence?

CGFNS is one of the MOST horrible places i have dealed with living in the US . I even didn't know how they exsist and nobody will close them. It took me 4 years to get my US licence through CGFNS.

Sorry, can't send pm but I did have mine at 2:30pm with the same department (Med/Surg)manager.Was her name Joyce? Did she set up the second interview with you?GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

I did get a chance for the interview ,I had to return back there at different time.It went just OK There were SO MANY people there,coming and coming and coming... But this is only the beginning for those fairs... so we will see.

That is good... I am in Allen

Yes I will be going to the fair .. I just started to apply for positions(yesterday)... so we will see.Where do you live?

No this is Medical City hospital.But I am just like you with hospital experience ,since I used to be home health nurse. I am just beginning with job hunting,mostly researching..

Yes I will be very soon applying... the fair is from 9-5 pm. I was looking for anything in Collin county but can't find so far..so I have to go with Dallas even though it's about 45 min from me.What about you? I think we could be a great sourse for each other.

Ukraine.

Hi heaven sent88_RN !I am in a same position as you are, in fact we took NCLEX in a same day and place and passed. I am not newly graduated I am a foreign nurse though..Lets keep a company!
