    Her visa was approved today after the interview. No problem they just asked if she knew about past records and few other questions. Then said she was approval. Finally the process is over and she will be packing her stuff

    Congratz to both of you!  What a relief!

    in Moving to the US and Your New Life In America

    Posted

    Just like you, my wife, Chinook, came to the US on a K-1 visa.  She applied to take the NCLEX through the state of Vermont, was approved to take the exam, passed the exam on her first try, and received a Vermont nursing license.  Then, she applied through the state of Washington where we live, to have her Vermont nursing license transferred to Washington.  Within about six weeks, Chinook had her Washington license and started looking for a job as a registered nurse.  A few months later, Chinook landed a job as a registered nurse at a private nursing home.

     

    I agree with missleman.  Check out the web site of the state you live in.  It will have the information you need in order to apply  for the NCLEX.  The web site also should have information for foreign-trained nurses.  Keep in mind that states can have different requirements, and you can apply through any state regardless of which state you live in.  So, it may pay to shop around.  Some states may not require you to complete IELTS or TOEFL.  Some states may not require you to have passed your board in 'pinas.  However, most states will require that your clinical and classwork were concurrent.

     

    Generally speaking, here is what's going to happen:

     

    -- You will need to get your transcripts evaluated.  To do this, you will have your school send your sealed transcripts to one of the evaluation companies, for example, CGFNS (www.cgfns.org), ERES (www.eres.com), or IERF (www.ierfcom).

    -- If your transcripts are in order, and your application is approved, the state board of nursing/nursing commission will have you register with Pearson Vue (www.pearsonvue.com), and then Pearson Vue will issue you an ATT (authorisation to test for the NCLEX).
