That is incorrect It depends on how old sibling is when they are petitioned.

Sorry But the rules on the website does not say you have to be licensed IN ADDITION FOR INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS: A. Send Breakdown of Educational Program for International Nursing Programs form to your school with the Request for Transcript form. ...

I am gonna assume you only deal with one state. I have dealt with numerous BON and I don't llike to make mistakes so I read the BON and call and confirm BON's from time to time

Actually your states BON is very poorly written, Try to look up licenses and it difficult to find http://www.mass.gov/?pageID=eohhs2subtopic&L=5&L0=Home&L1=Provider&L2=Certification%2c+Licensure%2c+and+Registration&L3=Occupational...

You must understand that BON change requiremnts from time to time. It's not static. Once must read the website and make calls to BON to keep updated on each specific BON.

100% agree with you Every one needs to call the BON directly and find the answer directly.

Yea, I could probably write a book about it.

The above post has your name handle

Why would one throw a Hissy Fit. You be nice but prudent, Keep notes of when you called and whom you spoke with. I suggest to get hold a supervisor and then contact them directly either by email or phone. Don't wait 6 months and wonder, Keep update...

You stated in the thread or another thread that Texas requires a local licenses (Which is incorrect), that is what Iam talking about

What states are not answering the phones? I have no issues with Cali, Texas or New York. You may have to wait a few minutes while the phone rings but I have to strongly disagree with your statement "That some boards don't even bother answering any...

Excellent and Congats. Why do you make post regarding Texas BON? Just wondering?

No just trying to post the correct answer that you and others post on these forums regarding immigration and BON in certain States, especially Cali. and Texas:yawn:

You need to get on the phone and blow up the phone system at the cali bon, Call and call them until you get through to them. I sure wouldn't of sit by for 6 months just waiting, I would of been calling about every 3 weeks. Get the name and extension...

Which school is offering 165 per credit hour?

Dude, Oh yea someone always disputes something on this board. You don't need a refresher course or a addtional course if you are a recent Forgein graduate and you apply to Tx BON

I believe it was University of Phoenix. they wanted 450 or 500 bucks per semester hour and it took 39 hours to complete. Looked at Kaplan Univ. and it was like 350 per hour, Don't know how many hours they want.

You have the hospital screen them first. If they are found to be illegal then have them pay upfront for medical and medicine, that's how it happens in other parts of the world. You don't have no money, you don't get treatment. There has to be a chan...

My question is: Is it worth doing? The ones I have checked on want like around $20,000 and the program last about 18 months, that is if you go full time online.

Police will not deal with Illegals they try to wash their hands of them as well, just like you are trying to do. Illegals bring diseases into the USA and can put Americans health at risk. In USA we need a new mindset regarding Illegals, Stop giving t...

Sorry, But you should report them. It is a Federal Crime to enter the USA Illegaly. I bet you would report child abuse in a heartbeat.

Sorry, But that is incorrect. Cali does not requird local licenses. It requires a written explanation of why you don't have one. You should contact the California Board of Nursing directly to verify this, not what you read on the internet or a fourm....

Sounds to me a lifestyle change would do you better, than a change of Countries:coollook:

If you are a recent graduate or it been less than 2 years since you graduated , then this rule does not apply for the Texas BON for Forgein Graduates.
