  1. studying nursing if US citizen married to british citizen?

    Smilty replied to tbjockny's topic in United Kingdom

    Yeah I worded that wrong. Obviously is required if you want to ever nurse in the US. I was more meaning that the UK does not have an NCLEX style board

  2. Did Maslow or ABC help when selecting the NCLEX answers?

    Smilty replied to determine2bdone's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I test in 5 days too! Good luck. I suppose it depends on what type of questions you get, i'm sure it won't hurt to keep it in the back of your mind.

  3. studying nursing if US citizen married to british citizen?

    Smilty replied to tbjockny's topic in United Kingdom

    I would say that if you ever want to come back to the US you should train here. I am UK trained and getting my license here has been a nightmare. Plus, you could do the ASN here in just 2 years,...

  4. UK Trained Nurse Moving to US

    Smilty replied to ptork66's topic in International Nursing

    Hi, I was in a similar situation - I graduated with BSN Adult in England and have recently moved to the US. Unfortunately, there is very little information that is helpful. I'll try my best to tell...

  5. New Mexico or New York for licensure

    Smilty replied to usernurse's topic in Nurse Registration

    You can request fingerprint cards on the NM BON website. Here is the link: Fingerprint Request As you are internationally educated they will require you to have a credentials review. I used CGFNS...

  6. New student going into the entry level Nursing Program

    Smilty replied to Maryberry67's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Your specific Board of Nursing will let you know when you can retest. It's about 45 days on average I think. I don't know much about HESI as I am foreign educated. As for the NCLEX, I think the...

  7. nclex on 7/15! 3 more days

    Smilty replied to kbbartholomay's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yep, that's the one. I also have an app on my iphone called 'NCLEX QB'. It has about 300 alternative format questions that are worth a look

  8. nclex on 7/15! 3 more days

    Smilty replied to kbbartholomay's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you look a few posts down on the forum someone has posted a link to free NCLEX questions. They have an option to just do alternative format which is what I've been doing to try and

  9. Free NCLEX questions - Kaplan/3500

    Smilty replied to a16sRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks :) I just did the pretest and got 68%. Is this a good grade? I'm not really sure what I should be aiming for when I take practice tests, usually I get between 70 - 80

  10. nclex on 7/15! 3 more days

    Smilty replied to kbbartholomay's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good luck! My test is on 7/19 and my husband keeps asking me if I' ready, my response is always that it is impossible to be 100% ready! Just have faith that you have done enough prep, after all you...

  11. CA Nursing student thinking of relocating to NM after grad?

    Smilty replied to Avill's topic in General Nursing

    Just to say, I currently live in NM and I hate it!! Moving soon to Tennessee and can't wait :) Also, the Nursing Board here did not impress me, they lost my paperwork, were rude about it and ignored...

  12. Preparation For NCLEX

    Smilty replied to ssk5's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    SATA are difficult! I try to look at each option as a 'true or false'. I always psych myself out and think I haven't selected enough options. Go with you gut instinct and the chances are if you...

  13. Licensure in GA vs VA

    Smilty replied to adiaz013's topic in General Nursing

    I would call them and find out what they want you to do. I don't see why you couldn't apply to take the exam through them, but Nursing Boards are generally a bit of a nightmare so it's best to hear...

  14. NCLEX July 15th, So Nervous!!!

    Smilty replied to UCAFblue's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Mine is on the 19th. I'm just trying to do loads of practice questions, reading rationales and then studying up on the stuff I don't know much about. Also, for me it helps if I make notes and...

  15. UK - USA my story (I hope it helps anyone in a similar situation)

    Smilty posted a topic in United Kingdom

    Hi guys, So, I wanted to share my story about moving from the UK to the USA. It has been a long and bumpy road.... The journey started back in 2009 when I met my husband. I quickly realised he was...

  16. NCLEX NIGHTMARE

    Smilty replied to kenzzzxzzy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I remember reading that alternate format questions are considered to be harder, so if you get a lot you are doing OK. I can't remember where I read that or if it was a reliable source though . I'm...

  17. NCLEX NIGHTMARE

    Smilty replied to kenzzzxzzy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I heard that if you have a lot of SATA then you probably passed because they are considered higher level questions. Good luck to you, does your state allow you to get quick

  18. Took the NCLEX on 7/1/13, and an Official RN 7/3/13

    Smilty replied to MattTheRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good job on passing your NCLEX. Mine is on the 19th. I'm using the Saunders and the LaCharity book. I really like them both and I hope I pass

  19. Are UK RN's considered LPN's in America?

    Smilty posted a topic in United Kingdom

    Hi, I am a UK registered nurse. My training only included adult clinical/theory hours. I am wondering if this classes me as a LPN in the US? I am moving the the States this year and would like to...
