Relax... the nurse shortage is onlu going up as RN nuring schoolls are down about 22% form 1992. Baby-boomers retiring, longevity going up by tech, and women roles shifting to other occupations, just to mention a few socio-demographics...and then the social migration every time a country political fabric is disturbed by global economics...globalization of nursing is here to stay and will be the most available solution to USA and European hospital. Politicians and ehalthcar private sector healthcare systems are downplaying the facts because "IT IS A VERY HOT POTATO" and nobody has the solution..! Too many long time factors to removed...impossible..! In fact, and i'm close to top management in hospitals, and have thought NCLEX, prep, there are indicators telling us the opposite, foreign globalization of nursing is a FACT....today and will be when you are ready..!

Hi Barbie, I see you got plenty of help already, nevevertheles, extra info is always good. I did international recruiting for several USA companies, and the process hs changed over the years, however, there are some basics to remember. Your options to become an RN in USA are these; Taking the NCLEX by traveling to a countries/cities offering the examination, or taking the CGFNS exam which when passed provides a Visa-Screen certification, first step to enter USA with CIS blessings and permit. Once you have passed your NCLEX exam, in USA if you come through CGFNS Visa-Screen, you may, one seek an sponsor, like a hospital ( not to many want to get involve into a unknown process) or you seek a visa adjustment applying for you I-140 through an immigation lawyer, or you simply do it on your own and by yourself learn the "paperwork process". There are a few firms doings the whole process for you; from profiling your skills to assisting you with the CGFNS and NCLEX, HOUSING, VEHICLES and SPONSORS FREE to you...because these firm collect from the hospitals. DO NOT PAY ANY FIRM FOR SPONSORSHIP...! THERE are others firms not so good, and some better that others. If you need more information just drop me a line. I know a few philippino Rns just arrival and that may want to give advise too..! Best regards, Espanclex instructor
