I just arrived here in Washington State last year. I am a registered nurse in the Philippines. My question is what is the first step I'm going to do to be able to take a state nursing board exam here in WA?
for now im just reading the Saunders Compre 6th edition from front to back 1/4 to finish line lol.. im still thinking getting online review coz ill be having my baby on May so while waiting for my due date im reviewing content then practice q&a, lots of q&a after.. i just make sure that i have 4-5hours a day to read and proly buy more books, im planning to buy Kaplan strategies, Priority delegation by LaCharity and Lippincott for practice q&a.. thats all i have in mind
for now.. how bout you? whats ur
plans for your
review?
you need to have a minimum 960hours of experience as a nurse for the last 5 years if you are graduated more than 3 years. but if you just graduated not more than 3 years you just need the cgfns evaluation and no toefl required for you to become eligible to take the exam.. if you want you can try Florida they only require Cgfns :)
I graduated 2008 and I have more than 960 hours of experience for the last five years. So if I am going to take the NCLEX Oregon they will require me to have CGFNS and prove or send documents from the hospital that I work in before pertaining that I have 960 hours experience? Am I correct?
