she has to go through cgfns for Credentials Evaluation first then apply to Texas board of nursing, then write nclex, pass and look for a job. There are agencies that can help with the job search

I am not aware of any school like that o, since you are applying as an international student the schools will want you to be on site 24/7.

Seriously.. Why am i the only one answering questions here?
I love what @ogwashiukwu, @endowed, @gratefulme and Co did earlier.. Please let us all contribute the little we know and stop keeping the knowledge to ourselves, your experience during that application, the mistake you made etc may help someone else too. Please please please let's be our brothers and sisters keeper. So many of us have gone through this stage, others are currently prepping for nclex while some have even passed and are working already, what do you stand to gain if you can't help your fellow collegue with information to make the process less cumbersome? Let's stop this habit of waiting for one person to contribute and answer all the questions, I may not come online for a week or two.. I don't expect the forum to come to a standstill in my absence. We need to work together to achieve our goal. So please oga, madam, pickin don't just come here look and go. Talk your own.

Sorry for my rant this morning my good people
Happy good Friday

am here now. We will answer them together

Y is it that everybody want to practice in Texas as if its only Texas that is the only state in USA. I am looking forward to heading to Boston, MA.......bottom line, let's try to inquire about other states before we run into Texas and like you know, license is for a state not like Nigeria that is for a country..

Hmm.. My reasons..
1. Texas does not need ielts
2. It is a compact state
3. Less tax
4. High wages due to low cost of living
5. Diversity. The black community is massive

Why did you choose Boston?

Boston is one of the highest paid states, scope of practice is not limited, you can still apply even without a SSN and no English test if you were taught in English

What most people fail to comprehend is that you can't do without IELTS. Irrespective of the State you intend to practice, you must prove to a consular officer at the US Consulate in Lagos that you've met all the general requirement for EB3 visa, simply put as immigrant visa/green card. CGFNS Certification+IELTS= Visascreen, also, CGFNS CES+ NCLEX+IELTS= Visascreen. In fact, when you come for a visa interview at the Consulate, the consular officer would be interested to see Visascreen certificate before he/she can make a decision to grant/deny a visa application.
The only way you can escape having IELTS result is by visiting the US with a B1/B2 visa and subsequently enroll for nclex, pass and change your status while in the US.

Why limit yourself to a few state probably 5 States out of the 50 States in the USA when you can freely expand your horizon by just having an IELTS result. Other states like Florida, California and Washington DC do not require IELTS result too, but you wouldn't know about other conditions until you start processing with them. For example, Florida board does not require IELTS and SSN before NCLEX but, your license will not be issued without SSN. How did I know? My wife used Florida board for her CES and when she got an agent that's sponsoring and preparing her now for NCLEX exam they told her that Florida board has many issues and they are expensive too.

Presently, She's enrolled with Minnesota board for her NCLEX exam with only $105 fee.

Please feel free to correct me if you feel that what I put up there was wrong.

Finally, based on my years of research on Nurses's immigration to the Western World, America has the lowest English language requirement for foreign educated nurses unlike, the UK, Scotland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. So why can't you utilize the opportunity now to move on. Besides, on my research too, Nurses in the US are better paid than anywhere in the world that's why you see nurses from the UK and Canada migrating to the US. A Philippine nurse in the US said she earns 3 times her salary in the US than when she was in the UK.

Just trying to make a common sense.
