  6. Norway need new nurses

    I am willing to agree with you even though I am one of those who have been waiting patiently for almost 3 years now (PD-05). If I had known what I know now...there is no way that I would have bothered finding an employer and filed for green card!!

  20. Nclex Tips for International Nurses

    When I studied for NCLEX I heard the same rumour that it would be harder for foreign nurses. But I don't think so. The problem foreign nurses might deal with is the language. All you have to do is get some good study material and practice,practice an...
