O my Gosh I have so empathy for you! I am also International Nurse, I worked many years in Slovakia.When I came to US applied for licence in NY, and they approved my education. I need to learn a lot for NCLEX and TOEFL! I do not know a lot of that. How much time did you spend to learn everything? In addition, which books are best? I wish good luck and hope you are doing everything best! :) Let me know how it was.

Hi everybody. I am international nurse and I was not here long time.I have a question for somebody about ATT code.A year ago I applied for RN licence in NY and it took really long time.Finally I received a letter that I have been approved and can to register for NCLEX.I want to ask that when I will apply with VUE and they will send me ATT code how long is expiration in NY state? I heard that is just 90 days.I am worried that I am still not prepared for exam so can I wait little bit and register with VUE later? Thanks

Thank you so much for answer.

Thanks again everybody :) I want to apply to NY state and after licencing find a job there. I have one more question.Is it NCLEX test in every state different or is same ?

Thank you for your answers and also I would like to know when I'll send application to CGFN do I need to wait or I can apply at the same time for BON in NY ? Thanks

Hi.I just passed my test last week in Ohio.I don't know what is in your book,but we had book especially for skills.I had exactly occupied bed and bedpan.I changed just bottom sheet,top sheet ,blanket and pillow.Everything was fine.Skill about bedpan I did also good and examiner told me that resident can't help me ,so I rolled him on side and don't forget rail up on this side.I just forgot gave the resident washcloth and towel for washing hands. I wish you good luck

I agree what cassy123 said.I worked in hospital in Slovakia with TB patients so my test is also positive and never change.I always have x-ray and it's OK.But if somebody has TB it's show on x-ray.So don't worry you'll be fine
