  1. If I opt for NY...

    purplecotton replied to purplecotton's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks for helping. I can't do NY anymore because we sent our papers to the CA BON already (couldn't retrieve it- sniff- what was i thinking?). I was really asking for a miracle! But it is good to...

  2. Back with more questions (sorry!)...

    purplecotton replied to purplecotton's topic in International Nursing

    Good news! Though I am "stuck" with CA BON, my mother did not send anything to Nevada yet (we did the fingerprinting, etc. but it just wasn't sent yet). Therefore, it shall never be sent...hoorah!...

  3. Back with more questions (sorry!)...

    purplecotton posted a topic in International Nursing

    Just two days ago I sent my stuff to the CA BON. Now I would like to change my mind with all that has been said about applying for initial licensure in CA. I feel bad about it as it isn't exactly...

  4. Back with more questions (sorry!)...

    purplecotton replied to purplecotton's topic in International Nursing

    Well...Can't retrieve what was sent to the CA BON. So the waiting process is on! Ugh. I guess all i can do for now is continue to work and review for the NCLEX (all that's left to do), and...

  6. If I opt for NY...

    purplecotton replied to purplecotton's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks for the help! Really. It is nice to know that there is help available from those who are so far away! By the way... um, Suzanne4, you seem to know a lot about what's going on. Out of curiosity...

  7. question abt working experience...

    purplecotton replied to purplecotton's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks Suzanne4, Cheyeree, and nurse dependent. Nursing is not what most people here think it to be and it is a great character-building experience! My mom is a doctor and she now appreciates (truly)...

  9. What kind of area in nursing...

    purplecotton replied to purplecotton's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks! Hehe, actually my sister is also taking up nursing and she prefers the paperwork! She is a weirdo (joke!). Anyway... psych nursing is quite interesting but i have heard stories that the nurses...

  11. Good grief...

    purplecotton posted a topic in International Nursing

    Sorry if i'm posting too much! I have a hard time convincing my parents that the CGFNS is not the same as taking the NCLEX (content-wise). They still believe it is "safer" to take both. Could you give...

  12. Back with more questions (sorry!)...

    purplecotton replied to purplecotton's topic in International Nursing

    I know I can't go back and change things but what kind of issues would there be if I applied to both Ca and Nevada? I am hoping that I can retrieve the stuff I sent to CA BON (since it was 2 days ago...

  13. For all Filipinos: question??

    purplecotton replied to purplecotton's topic in International Nursing

    Are there any specific agencies that come to mind?

  14. question abt working experience...

    purplecotton replied to purplecotton's topic in International Nursing

    The reason why March seems the likely month for me to take the NCLEX (and CGFNS) is because of the fingerprinting process which can take as long as 4 months. Maybe we can move the NCLEX test to...

  15. question abt working experience...

    purplecotton replied to purplecotton's topic in International Nursing

    So, would you be saying that it is best to take the exams (NCLEX or CGFNS, which preferably 1st? Let's say I plan to go to California or Nevada.) and put the working experience here on hold? I do...

  19. *cry* another preceptor problem...

    purplecotton replied to purplecotton's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I agree it was such a gullible thing for me to do. If I didn't see it, i shouldn't have taken her word for it. At the same time what could she possibly have against me? I was being nice to them...
