To keep posted those who interested I do not have to take english competency test, I have a high school equivalency diploma from USA. However, I do need to take a challenge test in order to be registered as RN in Aus

Thank you very much for your response. I would appreciate any information you can find. no one, obviously knows. thanks you very much for your input.

I received the letter from the Queensland nursing board that I have to take challenge test. What is that? something like NCLEX? Do I have to come to Australia for that? I have license in USA, educated in Russia. Practicing in USA for over a year. Please, share with me information regarding this matter

Hi to everybody and thank you in advance for any suggestions! I am an RN, currently licensed in the USA with one year of full time employment at the hospital, Telemetry unit. I am holding CGFNS, CPR and ACLS certifications, and currently applied for PCCN certification. I am interested to work in Australia and possibly apply for a permanent residence there. I have several questions that I hope someone, who had similar experience can answer. First, regarding nursing qualification, I have a four year Diploma degree, from my country. Would that cause a problem? OR do I need to obtain a BSN degree? Second, CGFNS, foreign educated nurses, employed in the USA, are familiar with what I am talking about, has my transcript and a graduation certificate on file. Would that be appropriate to request them to forward my transcripts along with their evaluation to ANMC, and would that be accepted? Third question is regarding language requirement. I read in the paragraph 5 in the Full - Migration Skill Assessment Application, that the requirement to undertake an English language can be waived where an applicant has undertaken preparation for nursing in a country other than the UK, Ireland or USA and has been registered and practiced as an RN for a period of no less than 12 month full-time in one of these countries. Did anyone actually have that requirement waived? I will also appreciate any insight that can help me with this process. Thank you very much.

If you board is participating in NCLEX quick results, you can find out your unoffiicial results using the followng number, at the cost of 9.95 - 1-900-77NCLEX (1-900-7762539).

Please, don't stress out about it that much. I had the same feeling after I took the NCLEX. I didn't find it to be very hard and was questioning if that was because my level of competency was below normal. I felt pretty confident after the test but for the next couple of weeks I was stressing out whether I passed or not. I am sure you did fine.

Bahama, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I KNEW YOU DID IT, JUST FELT IT. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am taking Nclex in 2 weeks. At first, I schedule the exam on the 23d of May, but got scared and reschedule for the June 9th. Reading these post, I am getting very nervous about the test. I am a foreign educated nurse, and I had to take a CGFNS exam first in order to be admitted to take the NCLEX. I am using a Sounders book, and so far I am getting 70's and 80's. However, I never feel comfortable about the practice test until I finish and look at the results. I have a question about the infection control part. I am not asking to give me the question from the test, just what should I concentrate on?

Susanne, i have a question. I currently applied for license in the state of Louisiana. I have met all the requierements, including the CGFNS certification. My NCLEX is scheduled for 05/23/2006, and my ATT is from 05/12/2006 through 08/10/2006. There is 45 day waiting to retake the NCLEX in Louisiana. In case I fail, should I start the process all over again, or I can just reschdelue the test within my ATT time frame?
