i'm from the philippines and what if I work in qatar,does that mean even if you are an nclex passer,they won't accept it?especially right now that I cannot land any hospital just to have an experience and also to enhance my skills..i've been out in the field for almost 3years

I was wondering if nclex necessary in other countries?Correct me if i'm wrong,that canada,UK and australia are the countries that will accept the nclex if you pass?

-so what is your own suggestion or idea?i need to know the possibilities especially in my situation...How much will it cost? honestly,it is very difficult to land a job here in the US even a caregiving job..I'm dying to go home right now and find another way for me to start a new life..

hi it's me again..just for clarification, I just knew someone who was a fresh graduate in our school and they didn't take the local board exam in the philippines..They took this 2year program in order for them to be a nurse and right now they are already nurses in Australia..My question is: -If AHPRA needs to us to be an RN with at least a couple of years of experience just to qualify for a BP or not,how come these guys in our school was able to nailed it?

STEPPYBAY: actually i applied to an agency..Without confusion, i live in CA & i applied my nclex state board in New Mexico..You can PM me if you want to ask more about it

i'd posted few threads here and this one is very different situation than those other threads.. since i failed my nclex for the 3rd time, i was thinking that i want to pursue my nsg career in different countries but the biggest factor is the money..i feel that maybe my nsg career here in US maybe not a destiny but an experience on how hard you study for the nclex..this forum helps me and expands my understanding about our fellow nurses' situation... back to my current situation,i'd agreed to my parents that if i can't make it the 4th time for this exam,i might as well go back to the philippines.. now the reason that i'll go back to the phils are: 1.australia nursing jobs 2.i might change path of my career for awhile and go to qatar to work with my cousins(any kind of work as long as pay is good..) 3.will work on a call center for extra income,taking the boards and IELTS in which the australia needs but before i leave here in the US,im still working right now as a caregiver and working in a facility so that i have income.. i thank god so much that i have a family,relatives and a great gf that supports me and understands my plan..and i thank god also for giving me the mindset and the plan for my future..i have a state of desperation right now but i always try to calm myself and i did.. i always thinking about the seminar that i always go with my uncle and aunt(actually their working place has this seminar about financial and career paths)that in this time,not all people can pursue a career with tunnel vision without any alternate routes and if you want to make more money,then do something about it..and there maybe people that succeed but it has their ending road but if you want to continue on what you love,then do something about it.. now don't get me wrong,i love my career but im not in that level yet and in order for me to continue,i might as well change path for awhile..

thank u so much for the info.. it is straightforward.. at least i know where i am right now if i still want to go in australia..

so for the bridging program,is this only required for RNs and non RNs w/ or w/o experience?but what if i pass the BP, what is the next step?and if i don't,what are the possible ways that you can do the BP again?

TO JEDFORT: how much is that BP?how can i be eligible to that program?im sorry for too much questions cuz if someone could help me,i would help as well those who are in the same situation as mine..it is better to establish myself in an early age.. and what will be the next step after BP?

but what about my situation?im not an RN although i completed my BSN but i recently working here as a live-in caregiver and also working in a long tern care facility..would it be possible that i can put these on my resume for future references during the time that they'll assess my background?

thanks i just post my concerns regarding working in australia...

hi guys..wow this thread is so long already...anyway,im a grad nurse 2yrs ago from the philippines and i haven't taken the board exam..right now im going take my nclex the 4th time around and probably this will be my last shot cuz according to our agency right back in our country,each applicant who failed their nclex 4x in one year,you have to RE-APPLY again within a year..so im not going to wait that long because i've been here in California right after I graduated and studying my butt off in almost 2 years..me and my parents both agreed that if i can't pass this last one,i'll be heading to AUSTRALIA to pursue my career in nursing..cuz right now california can't hire even those who passed the nclex and the USA is in retrogression.. I heard and read any article or news that australia will hire an RN or not an RN whether w/ or w/o experience... my brother's gf have a few friends that graduated (same school as mine) and they are already in australia and they said that they already graduated of some sort of nursing program for 2 yrs and now they are a nurse(similar story of my cousin who is in scotland)...they didn't took the local boards and they didn't have any working experience in any hospital(well except since were in school and assigned us in different hospitals for our duty).. so here's my questions: WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS HOW MUCH IT COST(AUD currency) WHO'S GOING TO ASSIST US IF WE ARE THERE hopefully you guys can answer my questions and give my advices..i'm 24 y.o already worked here as a live-in caregiver and worked in long term care facility and i don't want to stick this kind of job..as finding an employer to petition me,well it is difficult..THANKS GUYS

hi im a grad nurse 2 yrs ago and still not an RN..currently im in USA California right now working as a caregiver and working in a long term care facility.. well nclex didn't worked for me i failed 3x already and im hearing great news in australia that they are hiring an RN or not an RN whether with or without experience.. the thing that im asking frequently for the past few days is that what agencies that i must approach in the philippines and what are the requirements needed, how much it cost,all that kind of stuff..PLEASE reply to me ASAP because in 6-7 mos i'll be leaving here in US so that i can act on this requirements..thanks everybody

steppybay: apparently i applied my stateboard in new mexico..we have an agency in the phils that are accredited here in any state..and as far as i know about the issue regarding this retrogression,it is hard to find such job like as a caregiver or any sort of jobs that related to my course..but im still keeping my hopes up that i can land a job before i leave here in the US...

i currently living now in california and it is sad to say that i failed my ncelx 3times but i dont want to give up mu nursing career..maybe my luck here in US is not the right place..but im happy to say that if these plan to australia happens,me,my brother and our girlfriend,who also a nursing graduates, will live happily in one roof,.hahaha..but im still finding a job as a caregiver so that before i leave here,i have some money to spend wisely when i'll be ready to go back to the phils
