Snoopynurse LPN, LVN

Has anyone been to Oman as a RN? I'm presently in Saudi Arabia and have been thinking of moving to Oman. With one-year experience, could I get a hospital RN or RPN job there? Thanks snoopynurse

Where is a list of reputable and accredited RN to BSN distance learning programs in the US? Are US programs better quality and more widely respected? Also, is a bachelorette degree = bachelors degree? Why are Indiana State University (ISU) and Execu...

I completed my RN training in Korea and now plan to find a RN job in Canada. What would it be like? My English is OK but not that great. What kind of language testing would I need to go through (pass tests like TOEFL or IELTS?)? Would any language...

Can non-Phillipino nurses who happen to be in the Phillpines find some jobs in Saudi at POEA? Or does POEA accept Filipino nationals only?

What is POEA? Is it a company (like a recruiting company)? If so, how can I get there? Thanks. snoopynurse

Is there a list of accredited BSc and BSN programs overseas? I'm looking at "College of Health Sciences" in Bahrain (in Middle East). It is managed by the Ministry of Health, Bahrain. If I do a degree there, how can I know if it will be recognized...

I don't have a BSN but I only have an RN license (from South Korea). I know that all I need to work in the US is NCLEX-RN. I'm planning to write the CGNFS Qualifying Exam this Fall. This, I hope, will warm me up for the dreaded NCLEX-RN (my 5th go...

I am both snoopyleader and snoopynurse. I don't know how that happens. I log-in automatically so I don't know who I'm logging in as. SOmetimes when I leave messages, the author is "snoopyleader" or sometimes "snoopynurse". Sorry for any confusion...

What about me? I've failed 4 times. What do you think I need to do? I'm thinking of either entering into the assistant nursing profession for a year or so and then revisiting NCLEX-RN or just studying NCLEX-RN a different way. Have others done eit...

I've used NSNA's NCLEX-RN Review, 5th edition (2005) from Thomson Learning. NSNA means National Student Nurses Association. But I haven't passed the test yet...so I don't know how valid this book may be. I hired a tutorer and he suggested using th...

I appreciate Pam and Suzanne for my situation. I'm going to consider working for awhile here where I'm living (in the Middle East) and perhaps take the NCLEX-RN later on. If I ever want to work in the US, I'll need to pass it. Are NCLEX-RN test que...

I enrolled in the online NCSBN Learning Extension and found it unhelpful and confusing. It asked only a few questions and had a lot of content that I could get from my nursing books. There seemed to be endless pages of content with only a few quest...

I had tried the Mosby CAT service for a month but I didn't use it that much. Has it helped you to see how to answer NCLEX_RN questions? It was good to fine-tune but not to enhance my critical thinking or logic skills (which I think are my greatest ...

What is the American Way of Nursing? Does this mean critical thinking & logic skills? How can I learn or enhance these?

I'd recommend not caving in and writing the NCLEX-PN. I've written and failed NCLEX-RN four times and have spent almost US$4000 in the process. I'm gonna try again...maybe next summer or in 2008. I'm just gonna keep going because this is my only c...

I've studied nursing content & skills for a number of months. I now wish to start writing sample tests. Where can I find sample NCLEX-RN tests? Are there any online, CD-ROMs, or in paper? If I do the samples on CD-ROM or on paper, would it be muc...

I tried clicking one the link but nothing happened. It goes says "This page is not available!"

How can I order this $35 Mosby online CAT? When I buy it, does it just give me access to the website and the 30-minute access to the test? When I looked at one bookselling website, it referred to a hardcover book? Is there anything like that? What...

What are the educational requirements for nursing in the US? Does it differ state by state? Are there any generalities? I am planning to soon write (and pass!) the NCLEX-RN and have a CGFNS-approved RN certificate (from South Korea). I was thinkin...

I plan to nurse in Toronto, Ontario or thereabouts. Wouldn't Middle East experience count towards landing a good hospital RN job in Toronto? Would this experience make me more of an attractive employee that a hospital might want to pick up? Or is a...

My foreign-education was accepted by CGFNS (who evaluate foreign nursing education for acceptability to write the NCLEX-RN (US nursing exam)) and I plan to soon write the NCLEX-RN. Would I need to complete extra nursing courses to boost my college n...

Could you hook me with some either nurses in Oman or hospitals in Oman? This is so I could info about nursing in Oman? Thanks. snoopynurse

I live in Riyadh. When I leave my compound, it's OK. I never wear anything above my neck (no head covering -- just carrying). I only wear a head covering in certain places (e.g., Kuwaiti souk, Batha market downtown). But I have been having trouble...
