To work right after graduation or to take all foreign exams first before working?

Hey my fellow colleagues!!! Please help me with this issue of mine. Especially to PINOY RN's over there, would you please share your experiences or your advices as to which is really better or yet the best option coz I'm in real dillema right now as to whether to work my two year contract in a hospital before taking specifically NCLEX and IELTS or to study them all first and take them within a year time before working? You see I wanna know how true it is that there are some states abroad that don't need experience as long as you're an NCLEX-RN passer. Plus i also heard some stories that they took the exams first without working and yet they were hired in some states without experience here in our country and were also trained even in special areas like the OR... I need you help puhleez? Muchisimas Gracias!!!

I suggest that you finish all your exams as it is difficult to go back to the books once you start working...take CGFNS and NCLEX close to each other so you review only once. Agencies now hire even without hospital experience, just as long as you look for a job while waiting for a visa. Prioritize....set goals....but then again, this is only a suggestion

i was thinking of taking medical transcription after nursing, is this okay or work experience in the nursing field is better? or what if i study further about nursing? thanks.
