Hi my friends,

I wonder how many nurses are there in U.S from Turkey?:nurse:

I hope I will get in touch as many as you possible through this site so we can help each other about NCLEX-RN and obtaining working permit.

Let's share our experiences:)

hi istanbul

i wish you good luck too. i studied from every book i found and i took kaplan courses for preparation for nclex-rn it helped me a lot so i suggest you search for kaplan. i would like to inform you that i guess every 3 year i'm not sure exactly they are making the exam more difficult i don't remember details you can find here in forums. this year on april i guess they will change the changes.

first i tried to study from books and i went to take the test and i failed at 170 questions.

after i took kaplan i passed with 75 questions.

which school you had graduated and if you have work experience?

Hi Ulku

I'm from Turkey too and I passed the nclex-rn last year. I couldn't pass first time but I did pass second time. You need to study regularly and to have a study program daily at least 4-5 hours a day. Otherwise it can be very difficult to pass it. When I tried first time I used to study from books like mosby. lipincott, saunders. But I failed. Then I applied for Kaplan comprehensive course. After that I passed. They are very strategic and they teach you how to manage to find the right answer. If you need more information you can ask me. I wish you best of luck.

thanks a lot....i m studying from saunders right now...i have a lot of problem from pharmacology...i realy realy want to past this exam..i miss my job a lot...i was working 2 years in ankara...i dont like be housewife or stay at home...i m trying to study everyday regularly depends my little daughter...but i know i can do it...thanks a lot and i m so happy getting contact with all turkish nurses together...it is really nice...i will think about kaplans program...

[hi ablez 76

i have one more question to u...didi u get online regular kaplan course or international course?...do u know what is the different between two courses?....i m not sure which course i should apply.....

Hi Beyza

I can understand you, it is really hard to be full time mom. I wish you can pass this test like me. You are right about pharmacology I had problem too. Unfortunately there are a lot of questions with pharmacology and are different than our country. I don't want to discourage you but nothing is impossible.

Actually I don't know the difference between those two when I went for this course I contacted them through email that and I explained to them that I am foreign graduated and I want to take their preparation program for NCLEX-RN and then they submitted me the course dates with schedule of total program. So I chose one course that was closed to my house which was in one of the community college in my area. This is my whole experience with Kaplan. I wish it would help you. Best of Luck and kolay gelsin.

thanks a lot...i understood but i will take from online course....maybe i sholud take international course...i looked with this web page what they sad....someone says international is a much better for foregin people and someone says it doesn't different with both courses...i m so confuse...thanks again u answered all my questions...

You can check other forums that you can find answers and advises about online courses. I didn't want to take online courses because I wanted to have somebody who can answer my questions right away, you know we don't have experience in our countries about online education so I didn't want to risk myself. And also the exam it is not cheap. So I just wanted to pass. I did some search and at the end I reached the conclusion that the best way for me is to go to course. Which state are you going to apply?

i applied from CA...i was leaving MD...the state wants two many things then i decided aplly from CA...right now i moved VA....where i m leaving i dont have any course for getting proparation nclex-rn exam...i have just small comunity collage...thanks again...

CP is only required by a few states so if you do not need to do it don't do it.

You can have as many state licenses as you need and maintain (pay fees) or when on expires as long as you maintain one then you can let one expire. Have you checked that your transcripts have been sent as this may case an issue and will probably have a similar issue when you apply to another state as each has their own requirements especially if foreign trained
