Hello everyone,
I am an RN with a bachlor's degree in Puerto Rico, but i just got my permanent license about a month or two ago. Therefore, i am not able to move and work in Miami Fl. as an RN until i complete my 2 years here in PR. Either that, or i take the NCLEX. I have decided to take the NCLEX but as everyone knows, its a long process and it takes a long while for the state of FL. to get all of your information and proof of english competency ...etc. Now, the problem is that i want to move to Miami immidiatley. I know that i can work at the veterans hospital in miami without having to have taken the NCLEX or without having to have the required 2 years of experience under my belt. But i dont want to sit around in PR waiting for the VA hospital in Miami to give me a call. So my question is if theres anyone that knows of some other way i can find work in Miami? I looked into this and found out that i can "challenge" the CNA test and when i pass it, i would be able to work as a CNA in miami until i pass my NCLEX exam. Is there any other job in my field that i can take up in Miami while i go through the process of taking the NCLEX? The problem is that i want to move asap... what can i do???
-Thank you in advance for all of your help and opinions.
