Hi Ablez,

It is nice to have someone from Turkey as an nurse in USA. I just graduated from Koc University in Istanbul and came to NY 3 months ago. I am also taking ESL classes right now. I would like to get prepared for the RN examination. May I ask you some advice? What are your reccomendations for me? I am looking forward to hearing from you. Let's keep in touch. Thank you.

Hi Istranbul

Also I'm from Turkey from Istanbul :)but I live in New York. I've been living here in the States almost for 3 years. I passed my nclex-rn on December 11 2009 it wasn't easy. Now I'm waiting to receive my License as RN from New York Board. It took me like one and a half year to be able to take the test.

I took my nursing degree from Romania but I worked in Capa Medical Faculty in Istanbul. After I came here I had to study to learn English then I had started to study for nursing.

First of all you need to decide in which state do you wish to work and then you need to contact CGFNS and to see the requirements for which state you are going to apply. I will be very glad to give you more information if you need. When I first came to this country nobody could helped me about my situation because nobody heard about Turkish Nurses and nursing in Turkey. I should say if Silverdragon and Suzzan wouldn't help me I wouldn't been gotten my RN License in this country This forum helped me a lot and I would like to help you too.

I am from Turkey from Izmir.Nice to hear here somebody from Turkey and Nurse!!

I came here in 2008,learned English than Passed NCLEX.Now I am waiting to get my work permit.Also I am looking for sponsor hospital but so far I couldnt find any:((
