Lol I didn't know there was such thing as a fiancee visa :). There is the E3, but we need to be married for me to go on his visa :) (he is also Australian). I'm a bit of a Miss Independent woman and I'm trying to get to the US myself, we've been doing long distance for 2.5 years now and even if he were to pop the question (wohoo!) I still need to pass that NCLEX-RN test! I know what you mean about costs, I live on the west coast and need to fly to Sydney each time I sit the test... really adds up $$$. Trying to stay relaxed and focused, just seems like the never ending journey. It will all be worth it in the end :). Thanks for your support! Maybe I'll meet some celebs along the way :).

Hi Advintrec, Thank you so much for your advice, it's much appreciated. My bf is currently in the US and he's also living in the SF Bay Area. Is it possible to get your email so that I may contact you when applying to come over?. My first preference is to work in any large teaching hospital in the bay area, but obviously wherever I'm able to get work I'll go. It's great to hear you feel it's worth the effort. I'm so excited to come over, although the process is exhausting I know it will be well worth it. Hopefully soon all my hard work will pay off!! Thanks again, cheers :).

@Tabbitha B Thank you so much!! I'm sure they will be really helpful, I'll definitely be "Googling" that Exam Master. I know that I'm not allowed to "talk about the exam", but what I can say is that yes, definitely easy to narrow down to two possible answers (if you've studied the content-otherwise it's a blind stab ) and that pharmacology and side effects are a must- so I'm really focusing on those areas for study. Keep and touch and good luck!!

@caliotter3 Yeah I have had a look at different agencies, but like you said they make you sign up for 18-24 months, I don't want them taking money out of my wage for that long!! I've made it this far by myself :). Thanks very much!

Hello, I hope someone can help :). I completed my University degree last year and have been working as an RN since January in Australia. I've been studying for the NCLEX-RN test in hope of moving over soon, unfortunately I didn't pass the test last month, it was so hard! . The content we studied at Uni is different and the medications also have different names. Any tips or advice from an Australian who passed the test?? I'm using Kaplan and Saunders as study guides... any help would be greatly appreciated!! Cheers :) .

Oh thank you so much, really appreciated that!! I'll have a look at what review programs are available. Thank you!!
