good luck trying to get someone to speak to when i was in the same situation trying to find answers i couldnt get a hold of anyone to speak to about the situation.

i also curious why did you decide to do your schooling in the states? were you living there @ the time? what state did you write your NCLEX for?

The humanitarian aid organization I work for has a base here in the USA and they paid for my nursing education . . .

You are a foreign nurse as you are not a U.S. Citizen.
@JustBeachyNurse So I talked with a CBP officer about this and read through the links you gave me - as a Canadian educated at a Comm Coll in the USA, I am eleigible for a TN visa - which requires a state license, since I already have that - I am able to work in the USA because of the NAFTA agreement.
Apparently the RN category is one of the ones that does not require a Bachelors - on the NAFTA agreement it states you need a Bachelors OR a state license. Not both.

Heya @The_Gift I'm just waiting on my visa screen and it says on my application status that Service Successfully Completed . . . how long did you have to wait for your visa screen after that?

The_Gift, BSN, RN · Jun 17, 2015

well thats good to hear well i paid the extra $$ to get it reviewed and sent withing 5 days because i heard to many horror story's of it taking so long so i just ensured myself and to be honest i am glad i did it because now i finally got to leave i would probably be still waiting if i didnt pay the money probably

@The_Gift - sorry to keep adding to this feed, but just curious - I'm going thru an airport to get my TN - did you bring anything other than a copy of your license, the visa screen and your employment letter? Did you bring any copies of bank accounts or a lease - what did they ask for? Or what did they ask in general?

The_Gift, BSN, RN · Jun 19, 2015

Well i didnt go to the airport i want to Buffalo (Peace Bridge) no bank account & lease docs are not permitted all i brought with me was my passport, degree, visa screen, job offer letter, and my state license that i was gonna be working in and that was pretty much it

TIB217, did you end up obtaining a TN Visa with your ADN? I'm in the same position. Let me know if you see this post. Thanks!
