Hi all,
I just joined this forum and it has been quite a very inspiring, knowledgeable and insightful platform.I took my time to read from the beginning of this conversation to the last page. A big congratulations to all who have recorded successes in their various efforts of working abroad.
Gracias to @Iyiman, @Endowed, @Auschris, @p406 for all the detailed information. Please I would like an advice on what to be done as regards my case.
I am a registered nurse in this country, graduated in 2011, I have one year experience in a tertiary hospital(LUTH), subsequent 3years experience was at a big diagnostic centre in Lagos. I currently work as a nurse in an outpatient clinic which is not up to a year. I have intentions of working abroad,US, Canada, UK, Australia, Ireland , anyone which turns out positive. I started out with Ireland because I felt it was easier and cost effective. I wrote IELTS with LS8.5,R8.0 W6.5 and an overall band of 8.0. However for Ireland Writing requirement is 7.0, so now I can not use the result for Ireland. I currently sent my application to Avant but got a response from them that my application was rejected because I lacked the 100-bed acute nursing experience and should get one before I can apply.
Please can anyone advice on what I can do. Even if I have to write another IELTS, I figure this result is too good to be wasted and want to try all available options before attempting another one. Please kindly assist with any information on what to do please. Thank you in anticipation. .
N.B I would not mind information on US as well

Lovelyd89 same is my case too.except that am preparing for ielts .i will appreciate if we can work together and share information.u can reach me o.am really fade up with nursing in this cou

please dont make the mistake of resigning from your current job.
1. unless you are going through an agency like avant, forget about the 100 beds hospital requirement. if you are doing the cgfns evaluation on your own and preparing for nclex on your own then you dont have to worry about the number of beds in your hospital.
2.[s] you dont have to say you are working in a diagnostic center if the need arises for you to mention your workplace. just use the name of any private hospital you are familiar with those that matters like the matron or md and let your experience start counting from when you received your first license. that way if you have to present any document with your hospital letterhead you know who to meet for it.[/s]
3. being to the states or having someone there or not doesnt count and it wont affect you in any way. what counts is your transcripts, licence and ability to prepare for and pass Nclex.

Thanks a lot Barbie am grateful, am off to start something, I will let u know my progress.i appreciate and will always appreciate any information.
