my sister got approved with hawaii in just 1 month. she has no local license, just sent papers needed from school to cgfns. when cgfns received the papers, they just processed it in 1 week and sent the results to hawaii, and hawaii sent the approved letter after 1 month..

you dont need to take toefl . unless your papers are not in english

nclex-pn and nclex-rn are not the same concept. also, not the same exam. . if you can go straight to nclex-rn, why nclex-pn? double exam, double study, double application, long wait. just a thought..

you need to look outside houston in order to get your first RN job.. i just think you have to or you'll be jobless for a long time. if your goal is really to work in houston, then my advise to you since nobody is hiring you, go outside houston first, and if you get hired, get at least 1 year experience (or even 6 months), then apply again in houston when you have the experience..

i always buy mine in houston premium outlet. whenever i got to the outlet, i buy there.. there's one medical scrubs store there, across crocs.. the name is uniform destination

me too, i didnt take mine! im also a graduate from PI

spiderman.. where in texas are you? im also pinoy, graduated in the philippines. im from houston, but when i was a new grad 2 years ago, couldnt find any job in houston or even san antonio..nobody was hiring me, until i looked outside houston.. my current hospital, they hire new grad!! but it's 2 hrs away in houston

try too look hospitals outside the big cities, maybe you'll find one.. probably nacogdoches, lufkin, uvalde, brownvill, mc allen, harlingen. i know they are hiring new graduates..

if you're a new graduate or without experience, you will have a hard time looking for RN job in the major big cities (houston, san antonio, austin, dallas).. but if you look at the rural areas, you'll have a big chance landing one. i was in your shoes 1 1/2 year ago.. i looked in houston, san antonio, dallas and austin, but no one was hiring me, until i looked outside of those cities..maybe 1 hour away or more

to all my fellow kababayan in texas, how's your texas bon papers doing? i was in the same situation before 2009, im from texas too, and didnt take NLE.

we're on the same boat. im a us citizen, graduated nursing in the philippines, but didnt take the local board. silverdragon is right, getting hired is not the problem, it's how to get your license. and yes you can get hired without taking local board exam, all you need to do is be qualified to take the nclex exam to get a license. that was my situation before 3 years ago but all went fine. ive been eligible to take the nclex, got my license, and got hired..and im from texas, too..

yes of course, compared to dubai, saudi, canada or even there in UK, the salary pay in the US is much greater.. starting regular nurse base pay in california (bay area) without experience new graduate is $40.. and if you work night shift, it's 12% difference, plus overtime? overtime is time and a half, and full time is just 3 times a week and 4 days off.. and if you're an experienced nurse with 5 years, you can be earning $60 per hour without differential

of course, money.. dont you like $40 per hour ?

no, you dont have to. i didnt complete mine.. only prc requires those, not the bon in the states...

hehe.. just like the other schools you've researched or been mentioned before here -- pchs, lanting, metropolitan etc. -- the past students from these schools had found no problem applying for nclex-ca even without philippine license
