Hi everybody. My situatian: Germen citizen and trying to become a RN in CA/US. I"ve sent my completed application to the BON and what is coming next? Do they contact me and let me know when I can take the NCLEX test or could I do that as far as possible?
Does anybody know how long it may take to get all this done?
What about the visa screen certficate, I read somewhere i should start it as soon as possible, when?
Is there as possibilty to live in the US without an embloyer?
You can do much better on your own preparing for the exam.
The biggest issue is being able to live in the US for 4 1/2 months without an income coming in if you are going the route of the AOS, Adjustment of Status. Many are not aware of that. You must be in the US for a full 60 days before any petition can be filed on your behalf, it takes an average of two months to get the EAD which permits you to work, then another week of so to get your SSN#.
And there are stickies on the International Forum, as well as the NCLEX Discussion forum to cover about any question that you could possibly come up with.
Not sure what you know about the prep courses here, but they are usually only a few days, and for the ones that are longer, they are quite expensive and they do not have 100% passing with them, and only a big argument trying to get your money back if you do not pass. I definitely do not recommend them.

I thought with the prep course would I have a bigger chance to pass the test.....? And I would have soething to do, too.
So to but it in a nutshell, in your opinion that is all stupid and wast of time?
Right?
I read a lot of the "stickies" but I didn't find an answer of my previous questions, as you told me.
