Just found out yesterday morning that I've passed my NCLEX-RN examination. Haven't found it as difficult as I was expecting and the questions were straight forward. After taking my exam, I have realized that all this palava about Nclex have been created to generate a bussiness. All you need guys, is to study Saunders Comprehensive review and nothing else. Don't stress yourself for nothing. I didn't take any review and I managed to finish my test in 90 min. at 75 questions. Good luck to you all and don't let yourself be bullied in spending your money on all sorts of fancy reviews

Thanks for replying salveapril. I am happy to hear you are already in US and doing well. That gives me hopes too. It shows that nothing is imposible as long you are focused on your dream. And you have really well focused!!! Look at all the countries that you have worked. By the way, my husband is a filipino like you. Could you tell me if you got a contract for US through an agency or by your own means? Thank you again salveapril and best wishes for you and your family. Ingat!

Hi, salveapril. How are you doing now? I have read in your older posts that you managed to get an h1b visa. Are you in US now? I am trying to study for my Nclex at the moment, but I don't know if it is wise. I don't know if I will manage to find a sponsor for my visa. That's why I want to see how are you doing now with your visa. Thanks.

Hi, Alina. Yes, you are right. I can't send any pm's at the moment. This is my first time when I'll try to take Nclex. The funny thing is that I am not so worried about the exam itself but more worried about what you and others are saying. That is very tough to get a job at the moment in US.That makes me really depressed. I don't feel very much like studying. I also graduated from Fundeni, but in 1995. Best of luck and let me know when you'll pass your test. Carmen

Hi, bulinutza. I am a Romanian nurse like you and I am reviewing for my Nclex. Wish you good luck with your test and hope we'll keep in touch.

Hi! We are getting more and more of us! That's very nice to know... I will have to write to you more in detail later, because I am going out now. But like with ablez, I would prefer to give you the information on a private address. Write to me at [email protected] See you later!

Hi! Congratulations first of all for taking Nclex! You'll have to tell me the secret!! How did you study? Did you had a schedule daily and if so, how many hours were you studying and for how many months have you continued studying? And which reviews have you used? About your job, I am sorry to hear that still the economy is so bad in US. And especially now with the new healthcare bill voted I was thinking that soon more opportunities will arise. I know it very well how it is to have a nursing experience but not to be recognized. I have felt it on my skin in here in UK, and I did struggle for a while to find a job in hospital. Because in here, even if you work as an RN in a nursing home it is very difficult to find a job in a hospital. Difficult, yes. But not impossible! I did it! It took me few months, but I am working since 3 years ago in an NHS hospital (that is a national service hospital -goverment) and I am in top pay for my band. So, I am sure you will find something soon. You just have to persevere and not to loose your hopes. Just try every day! I think it is better to apply for a permanent position rather than per diem, as they want somebody with local experience for a per diem job. Best of luck! And don't forget to tell me about Nclex. Oh, and one more thing... How long did you have to wait for your ATT letter? Thank you!

Salut, Thanks for your message back. Yes, I have managed to send all my paper to Ca Bon in march. Unfortunatelly, I have received yesterday a letter from them informing me that FBI rejected my fingerprinting card on the grounds that the ''characteristics are too weak". So, I have to go and re-do it again. And that will delay again my ATT. Anyway, it has to be done. What are you doing at the moment? Are you working already in US as RN? Numai bine, Carmen.

Why would you like to move in UK? The nurses are abused and very stressed in here, many times they live work in tears and the salary is just the same if you are a diploma nurse or a Bnurse. And that is the fabulous amount of 21,000 pounds per annum or about 1,200 pounds per month. Also, british don't like americans at all. Every time when I mention about going in America they are pulling their faces and say that the yankees are idiots.

hi, ablez. I am romanian too. I live presently in Uk, but I want to start my application for California licensure. Have you passed your nclex allready? Could you tell me what is the equivalent in US our nursing education in Romania? Is it degree or diploma? Thank you and nice to know there are other romanian nurses in there.
