    RNShirada replied to isyguy2000's topic in International Nursing

    Hi Hollymary, This was in the USA. I eventually trained as a Medical Assistant which is very basic. However, had schools offering the Psychiatric Technician program, not been hours away from...

  2. Can a UK Mental health nurse work in America or Canada?

    RNShirada replied to isyguy2000's topic in International Nursing

    I did do very well in the basic classes I took (top of the class), but these were not even the prerequisite classes for nursing school, but I took up one semester! Something I found out later that...

  3. Can a UK Mental health nurse work in America or Canada?

    RNShirada replied to isyguy2000's topic in International Nursing

    I gave up after years of the runaround. Well, yes, my application was eventually accepted ON CONDITION I take and pass the NCLEX within a certain time frame, so initially, I thought that was great...

    RNShirada replied to isyguy2000's topic in International Nursing

    Hi, baby white. It was a few years ago, but I just gathered all the information the Ca BON required for international nurses to register here and sent it to them. I have to say, it was a nightmare...

    RNShirada replied to BDMSmith's topic in International Nursing

    I realize that this thread is old, but Katie, MI, I am interested in the route you mentioned your U.K. mental health nurse friend took to become a mental health nurse in the states. Surprisingly,...

  8. CA BoN asks for individual courses, but do they exist?

    RNShirada replied to GolysMom's topic in Nurse Registration

    After reading this thread, I guess should be grateful that the Ca. BoN, said I was eligible to take the NCLEX after evaluating my foreign psychiatric nursing credentials without having to make-up...

  9. RN Refresher Course-CSUSM or UCSD??

    RNShirada replied to uandi's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks for your advice. If I had had any non-psychiatric nursing training, I would just get stuck in and study for the NCLEX now, as you did. The thing is that if I did that, in reality I would be...

  10. RN Refresher Course-CSUSM or UCSD??

    RNShirada replied to uandi's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks Evolution2011. I was checking it out today and noticed that the program started last week. I also love the fact that there are lots of clinical hours in addition to the theory. I will call...

    RNShirada replied to RNShirada's topic in International Nursing

    O.K. thank you. I actually qualified in 1999, (almost 10 years) and it was project 2000 - the new nursing diploma which I understand is not necessarily a good thing in the USA. I am not in any...

    RNShirada replied to RNShirada's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks. Do you think they would require that I return to the UK to complete the "Return to Practice" course that I would have to do in England if I were to want to nurse there or do you think they...
