hi, everyone...im Mark, a new member of this online community although been here many times before to look at articles that may be of help....
i'm a new graduate from a nursing school here in the Philippines, and had just recently took the board exams and passed. i'm currently in the process of acquiring my license from our licensing authority...and after which im gonna take the ielts this august....
here are my questions:
1. if im going to work in the u.s.a. what are the things needed to allow me to work there?
2. im planning to work in new york....do i have to take cgfns exams? or take nclex directly in hongkong. after which, if i pass what would be my next step?
Is it to apply for the visa screen certificate?
3. from my research in the net, here's what ive gathered to be the steps to take in having to work there:
a. must be a licensed nurse in own country
b. must take nclex, and ielts (or similar) in N.Y.
c. if both passed, must apply for visa screen cert. by the cgfns org.
Are these all correct? If so, please correct my info.
And do suggest the correct steps to take...
Thanx, and more power to the no. 1 online community for nurses!!!
