Anyone looking for a study buddy in NY. Looking for someone to grow some ideas around with. Fun facts, ect. Can be great motivation

Anyone studying to sit the NCLEX? I live in NY and sat it on Friday. Must have been so close as I was there for 6 long hours and 265 q. Upon looking at this website after the fact I, now seeing everyone gets caught on the same issues. Culture difference, meds. Looking to find a study buddy. Hit me up.

Great information. Is there someone I can call direct and ask them if im eligable. Im four years out of university and have worked in surgical department for majority (I did not complete any further education in this department). Last year in august I switched fields to Paediatrics, which in my eyes includes infants and children. No maternity as such. And as for mental health, do hours spent there on placements count. Also I am completeing a certificate in paediatrics nurseing and will graduate in Oct from that.

Hi Guys, great feedback. Ive been looking into this for a while now and keep coming accross dead ends. I contacted the Queensland Nurses Union from Townsville and she emailed a lady called ****, from the Office of professionals NY. (I want to work in NYC) She advised me to apply through www.op.nysed.gov/prof/. When i went to this site there is a special tab for forign nurses who wish to work in NYC and it sent me to a link called www.cgfns.org. Here I learnt that this organisation will contact my university i graduated from and verify my credentials. This costs $390. From here I believe I can apply for the neclex? and then greencard? Does anyone have any information about this.

Hi Susieok, can you please get in contact with me. I have some questions about working in the USA you might be able to help me with. Tah

Thank you everybody for your posts. All very helpful. The visa I am applying for is called the E3 which is a special visa for Australians and is suppose to be alot easier and cheaper for the employer to do the sponcorship process.

Hi, I am an Australian citizen working as a qualified RN (4yrs) in Australia. I am interested in working in NYC as a RN in early 2012. Can anybody explain the steps i need to take to acheive this? I have not started any of this process yet and want direct simple advice. I understand it is a long process and that i am required to convert my registration and sit the NCLEX. Is this exam hard? Any help is useful to me. Thanks for your time.
