How long does it take to endorse licensure to Indiana? Thanks a lot!

This guide aims to help fellow foreign RNs with their Registered Nurse application in Illinois. I have provided links for some of the institutions and forms involved in the process of applying to Illinois. If you have found any discrepancy, please co...

They should or you could request to orient a few weeks in day shift to get the feel of the unit and build your routine. Usually, night shift would require a little more independence since not all your resources are present/available.

I was in orientation with my preceptor and it was the start of shift, so we went in the room of one of our patients who is an elderly white male with a history of confusion. After our introductions, he asked us, "What country are we in?" Apparently,...

I'm in a point where I dread going to work everyday. I work FT 80 hrs/pay period in the Progressive Care Unit. While I enjoy doing paperwork & patient education, there are just moments that you feel not respected because "you're just a nurse" and...

You can always start studying now. I know the permit is valid for 90 days. So, you'd be tight on schedule if you study later. Wait for the CGFNS to be done. There might be problems. Assemble your requirements/packet for CTS while waiting. So you can...

Then follow Illinois' instructions in licensure via endorsement. Heard it takes a while so start soon.

Please refer to page 4 of the application packet. Yes, you need to be licensed in the country where you studied.

I would like to start a new thread on this for comparison. The last one was started 3-4 years ago. AREA: Northern IN FIELD: Long Term Care NATURE OF JOB: PRN - RN BASE RATE: $18.99/hr SHIFT DIFFERENTIAL: 0.50c (evening and night) OVERTIME: time and ...

AREA: Northern IN FIELD: Progressive Care NATURE OF JOB: FT - RN BASE RATE: $26/hr SHIFT DIFFERENTIAL: $2.00

Do you need to move to Wisconsin? How is it?

I would recommend the livescan vendor because they do have guides/steps in their website. They will be uploading it to FBI and ISP's database.

Depends if you graduated in the US. ED-NUR is only filled out by US graduates.

2008, BSN. Nope. Didn't receive any letter regarding it either. Just got my license about 5 months ago.

Welcome! I've taken mine with Illinois and endorsed here in Indiana. Illinois doesn't require the CGFNS exam unlike Indiana.

Awesome Leslie! :)

You can apply for it and take the NCLEX but they will not release the license until they receive your US SSN. Not sure if that is the license card they hold or if it's the license number itself. IL still issues a license card. Other states don't and ...

Starting my FT job with 3-month Critical Care Internship this Feb. 11 and I couldn't be more excited about it! It's been my dream to be in this specialty I'm trying to shop for nursing essentials. Any tips on what to use/buy? (Example: Littmann Mast...

Thanks! Those are helpful tips. I'd be signing up for AACN. I have a question, how soon do you apply for a Malpractice Insurance? I don't know if I should wait for our benefits orientation (like, if they have an offer for employees) or is that regard...

Yay! Good for you! Good luck on your exam!

I sent them an email as I said in the guide but it does take them "a while".

Yeah PRC is so primitive. I just arranged for someone to get paper works for me last week and they also gave it to my rep instead of sending it themselves. What she did is buy PRC envelopes and used the DHL booth in PRC. They'd give you a price depe...

If you're thinking of printing Accurate's sample image, no. The card will be in a card stock. Give IDFPR 2-3 business days (maybe even a week) to respond to you. I don't remember them responding to me when they sent me a fingerprint card. And I remem...
