HI, i,m a nurse and hopefully when i get to new york i will be taking the nursing exams. MY QUESTION IS THIS... Is there any of you females on this site ..oh and perhaps some guys too have jobs as a nurse and can you give me some information on the nursing exams.

I have registered with a couple of agencies here who organise things for you, but i am looking into just doing by myself can anyone help??/ plz

thank you agnes x

Where in New York will you be living? I'm not a nurse, but I notice your local office is listed as Buffalo, which is where I live and I have a few cousins that are nurses and could ask on your behalf for more info.

Hi

I've been trying to explore nursing in Tennessee and organising things myself, as most of the agencies don't have any options for there. Also, being mental health trained (and a guy) with 25 yrs experience doesn't help much. You need to have a generalised education, including adult, Paeds, Mental Health and Community/public health. I've been going round and round in circles trying to organise things by email and telephone, having made some contacts on my last visit there.

I've gone as far as having my transcripts sent over by the NMC to the university so that I can get some idea of what additional training I would need to do, but get sent back to the Tennessee board of nursing at every point - who just reiterate that I need a generalised education etc.

so, my advice would be, if you can use an agency to help with the NCLEX etc, go with that option - its seems to smooth things along somewhat. The international department at the NMC and RCN can be a good source of advice too.

Good luck with the process

Cheers

Andy

HAHA just watched the video clip...... typical scottish weather RAIN. AND TAM THE GUN HAS PASSED ON R.I.P.

What is this motoring offence? Speeding? or Criminal vehicular homicide? Big difference between the two....

It was driving without insurance, way back in 1983.

YES THATS RIGHT MAVEN BUT YEAR IS WRONG LOL 2003 I TOLD U IT WAS 1993 I WAS STILL SHAKING AT THE TIME WISH I WASNT NIGHT SHIFT TONIGHT I HAVE A FEW GLASSES LEFT IN MY WINE BOTTLE LOL...... NOT THAT WILL HELP BUT IT MIGHT CALM ME DOWN FOR A FEW HOURS.

"I hate being Scottish. We're the lowest of the ###### low, the scum of the earth, the most wretched, servile, miserable, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some people hate the English, but I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are colonized by wankers. We can't even pick a decent culture to be colonized by. We are ruled by effete arseholes. It's a shite state of affairs and all the fresh air in the world will not make any ###### difference."

Choose your future. Choose life.

TUT TUT TUT RCLOUSE dont want to get into an argument here ......but your choice of words here make it look like all scottish people speak with that vile tongue...... I AM PROUD OF MY COUNTRY AND NEVER WILL FORGET IT ... the english have ruled us for hundreds of years and they wont give up without a fight.yes we have a high rate of heart disease and poverty still exists. The point is this we are not even going to be given the chance to prove ourselves as an independant country because the ENGLISH GOVERNMENT WONT LET US.

CHOOSE TO MAKE SCOTLAND A BETTER COUNTRY

DOS/USCIS don't care about traffic violations. I take it you weren't arrested for this? If you just got a fine and points on your license its a non issue.

no was,nt arrested iwent to police and told them my situation. the officer said he would have to charge me with the offence. only got a fine and points on my licence nearly died when i read THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS HELD IN THE FOLLOWING CATAGORY...SCOTTISH CRIMINAL RECORDS OFFICE COMPUTER

IT FREAKED ME OUT I CAN TELL YOU

I think you're panicking for nothing. It's a motoring offense, not really a serious one at that, and I don't think not having insurance is even an arrestable offense here or there.

I do not see that this is a CIMT and I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill. Read this for clarification:

http://foia.state.gov/masterdocs/09fam/0940021aN.pdf

HI AND THANKS.... HAD A LOOK AT THAT SITE BUT WILL STILL BE PANICKING OVER THIS thats just me........ i,m paying the price for my procrastination will worry till my interview and then i,ll find something else to worry about

I thought that minor traffic violations weren't taken into account. Do you mind saying what the violation was?

Might be time to call the Visa Extortion Line up in Scotland for clarification on this.

HI MAVEN, 1993 i bumped another car .... to cut a long story short.... i found out i had no insurance i had let it lapse so i had to tell plice. they charged me under ROAD TRAFFIC ACT i had points on my licence and £ 200 fine how sad am i?? me the professional... i,m a nurse and i know i dont have any serious convictions but i,m sick to the stomach about this now

oh what is the visa extortion line????? ta agnes x

HI ALL sorry but i,v posted the same topic in the uk forum i recieved my police report this morning........ i have a motoring offence on mine so it seems i,m a criminal..... will this stop me from getting my visa i,m sick to the stomach.... i knew i had this but didnt think minor offences were listed OMG 50 AND IM A CRIMINAL .... MY MOTHER WILL KILL ME PLEASE HELP WITH YOUR ANSWERS TA AGNES X

HI ALL hope your all having a good day i need your help seems im a criminal i have a motoring offence on my police file......... will this stop me getting my visa i,m sitting shaking got the letter in this morning now i,m waiting on the one from scotland yard which should be here before my interview i didnt think minor offences were recorded and wasnt to worried but now........

Congratulations!!! I've been wanting to post that all day but I've been stuck in a conference... Yay!!!

Just out of curiosity...who was the person who was denied...?

Thanks again for all the comments

I read somewhere in the archive about a couple, the lady was the USC and her partner had I think had accepted a caution for having a small amount of marijuana in his pocket while going abroad....I think that was the gist of the story!!

Oh yes, I do vaguely remember that. We're just starting to get paranoid in the run-up to the interview (starting? hah! more like continuing!).

COngrats again!

well done and good luck

Thanks for the good will wishes

HI TONY ECK A M I THE FIRST TO CONGRATULATE YOU BOTH WOOOHOO how did it go????

were you calm?????? take care agnes x

The nerves are beginning to set in for the interview now

Can't wait for it to be over!

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm already a mess and we still have almost a month to go. I really hope it goes well. I don't think you have anything to worry about, though.

Hi guys good luck for your interview tonyeck will be sayin a prayer for you had to cancel my medical so now its set for june 24 th week before interview still waiting on my police report hope it comes in time im sick with worry...... called glasow police today but becos of bank holiday i have to call back tues

take care agnes x

ps.... why do i have that sick feeling i,m goin to be turned down for visa

Don't feel like that, think positive. Your medical is rescheduled for a week before your interview. Is that enough time to get the results to the embassy? You should double check and possibly reschedule the interview if it's not. Or maybe you can have the interview without the medical and approval would be pending the receipt of the medical results.

HI medical results apparently take 4 days to get to embassy so i think i have enough time its my police report im worried about will be phoning tomorrow to see whats happening take care agnes

take care agnes x

ps.... why do i have that sick feeling i,m goin to be turned down for visa

I'm in exactly the same position - just need my police clearance before I send in the checklist.

If I'm feeling brave I'm going to send it in after four weeks of waiting for the police clearance. I got my reciept on May 1st so I figure sending it in about half way through next week should be about right... Surely they won't schedule me for interview within the two weeks!?!?

I need to judge it carefully as I need to be all ready to go by the end of August (otherwise no job any more, no apartment... well, you get the picture).

Of course I wouldn't have to juggle this if the turnaround wasn't so long. I mean, six weeks? If it took me six weeks to turn a piece of paper round in my job, I'd have been fired a long time ago.

I won't feel as angry when it arrives!

Hi, i sent my subject access to glasgow about 3 weeks ago... still not even had confirmation reciept I called pitt st this morning and the guy i spoke to couldnt even help me as he didnt work in that dept. ... and its a bank holiday weekend so i have to wait till tues. Am thinking of calling scotland yard to see if they have it My birth certificate was in the envelope and i need that for interview as well
