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 @barbiee. Your number one reason is wrong. Texas Nursing Board require ielts Check below If you have never been licensed in the US before you would need to apply through the Examination process. A completed application for licensure through Exam for International applicants includes: (1) NCLEX-RN/NCLEX-PN application and $100 fee* (2) A fingerprint submission either on a fingerprint card or electronically through MorphoTrust USA. Applicants must be living in Texas to submit fingerprints electronically otherwise a fingerprint card is required. (3) CES Course by Course/Professional Report. The Board only accepts CES reports from ERES (www.eres.com), IERF (www.ierf.org) or CGFNS (www.cgfns.org). The CES report will verify if the applicant's qualifications are comparable to Texas educated nurses and if there is anything lacking (specific classes or hours). Applicants are notified by letter if the report indicates something is missing. (4) Passing results of an English proficiency exam. The Board accepts TOEFL, TOEFL ibt, IELTS, both TWE & TSE, and PTE. An English proficiency exam is required if the CES Report verifies the applicant was educated in a language other than English. The required minimum passing scores are listed on the BON website. (5) Verification of Licensure (VOL) from every country/state an applicant was granted authority to practice nursing. The VOL must be sent directly to the BON by the licensing authority.* (6) Registration with Pearson Vue (www.vue.com/nclex; $200 fee)* *expires after 1 year Once all of the above is received an applicant is ready to be deemed eligible to test. There is no specific order the paperwork must be submitted but all paperwork must be received before an applicant can be deemed eligible to test. A social security number is not required to receive a license; however, without an SSN applicants are not eligible to apply online and the background check may take longer to complete. Applicants must also take the Nursing Jurisprudence Exam (http://www.bon.state.tx.us/olv/je.html) Applicants must take the Jurisprudence Exam prior to taking the NCLEX As of July 2016 international applicants will be ineligible to test for Texas if they have not practiced within the past four years and are more than four years past their graduation date.

@waterfas what i meant was ielts is not a requirement for Nigerians because we were taught in English unlike other boards who made it compulsory for all international applicants weather they were taught in English or not. @ogwashiukwu, yes ielts is needed for the visascreen process but it's not a requirement for cgfns. It can be tackled later at any stage during or after CES. |

Hello friends and families, please I wrote IELTS last month & my results were LRW (7), S(7.5) with the intention if migrating to AUSTRALIA, BUT I discovered that the procedure is giving me much headaches, please, are there other countries that I can try with lesser distress. Note: I will love to move with my family ( husband & two kids who are 9 months & 2+). I will cherish your advice. Thanks. |

not yet, I'm scared of spending a lot of money on the ielts test but if i do decide to risk it then i would apply to alberta. Better pay, less tax, beautiful state. I would also consider going through Omni college if the dollars is made available. Do you want to start your canadian registration now? [/quote] pls barbie or any one In the house know any thing about Germany since USA is now a no go area, lets try that side . |

mamajaz: what kind of headache. since u have the required ielts score and u have ur money for the bridging course, why not take it easy and do it once and for all.

I agree with ogolikpo1, if you really want to practice in Australia then you should try to stick to your decision and things will work out eventually, what exactly is giving you problem? |
Re: Nigerian Nurses And Midwives With The Dream Of Working Abroad Let's Meet Here. by barbiee: 9:20am On Apr 17, 2017 |
To work as a nurse in Germany you need to have a good knowledge about the German language, you should know how to speak, read and write in German cause charting will be done in the language, after crossing that hurdle then you have to find a hospital that will accept you for a one year internship or volunteer service. This service is unpaid, after that you have to write and pass a written and oral exam then get eligibility to practice, with that you can get a real job but take note that the pay is poor and your scope of practice is limited. 1 Like 1 Share |

ogwashiukwu: I can argue the bold but before I do, what is the hourly rate for a new graduate nurse in the US? What is the penalty rate for over time, weekends, afternoon and night shifts? I agree that some states may pay better than the UK because I have met many UK trained nurses who left the UK due to low pay but to say the US pay better than the rest of the world is a bit of a stretch don't you think? Educate me ![]() |

WellEndowed:I am not a nurse but i have worked with Canadian nurses on a contract job. The US pays better than canada in all health care careers. Alot of canadian doctors migrate to the US for better pay. Alot of Canadian nurses migrate to the US for better pay, more career options and less job competition. Maybe someone from other part of the world can give more info. But really, the pay is not much of a big deal sha. The ones that do not pay up to the US is still very good pay in their respective countries. |

salford: The person I quoted said the US pays better than anywhere in the world and that is what I am trying to understand. What is the hourly rate of a new grad nurse in Canada and the US? what are the penalty rates for Canada? I am really curious to know the hourly rate for new graduates. We all know nurses' are paid according to experience, so lets start from the bottom |

WellEndowed: @ WellEndowed, I'm not here to argue out/ debate with anyone here, but If you say you're knowledgeable enough in healthcare and have family members who are all healthcare professionals, please feel free to educate thousands of Nigerian Nurses on this forum on how best to immigrate to countries of their choices. 1 Like 1 Share |

WellEndowed:i know most nurses starts between 28 to 35 CAD per hour in Canada depending on the province. That is if they are lucky to land a job after grad. Nursing jobs are very competitive in canada hence it drives wages down. Oh...my wife works in healthcare too, and my flatmate (i work outside my home province) is a public health nurse at director level with Health Canada. She has Bsc+msc in nursing. She has worked as a nurse for years in Canada and the US. I have seen her payslip and also know how much she earns. Engineering technologists at my work place with 5years work experience, i.e grads of 2-3 years program in community colleges make around the samee wage as my public health nurse flatmate. Someone on such career ladder would be balling in the US. She moved home to retire. |

After a little web research..The pics below confirms what i said earlier on about nurses wages in Canada. would anyone be kind enough to post that of other first world countries? I am not suprised at the low wage in ontario..very notorious province for paying health workers low wages. ![]()

Re: Nigerian Nurses And Midwives With The Dream Of Working Abroad Let's Meet Here. by Nobody: 7:07am On Apr 18, 2017 |
HAHAHA we quoted same source ![]() Okay so there are some RNs who earn 21.55? What about the US? What's the penalty rate in Canada? |
Re: Nigerian Nurses And Midwives With The Dream Of Working Abroad Let's Meet Here. by salford: 7:10am On Apr 18, 2017 |
WellEndowed:i did not know you were actually replying my post as well. That post for ontario would likely be true. All health care professionals are paid low in ontario. A nigerian lady moved from there to saskatchewan bout 2years ago. She got a pay difference of about $10 dollars when she moved for the same level of job she does in ontario. Pharma for example get paid as low as 38 bucks an hour in ontario but this same pharma could get as high as 52 in manitoba. Too much competition in a place drives down wages WellEndowed:The 21.55 could be possible. Agencies and new migrant nurses ensure rates go low. I know agencies were offering a very silly wage for some relief hours for my wife too.lol. she is not a nurse though. |

California is one state that pays well. The other states not as good e.g. Arkansas $26.62 http://nursesalaryguide.net/nurse-salary-in-arkansas/ Illinois starts from $24 http://nursesalaryguide.net/nurse-salary-in-illinois/ Alabama from $22.70 Louisiana from $26 http://nursesalaryguide.net/nurse-salary-in-louisiana/ 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: Nigerian Nurses And Midwives With The Dream Of Working Abroad Let's Meet Here. by salford: 7:20am On Apr 18, 2017 |
i do not know about the penalty rate..not a common term here. The job contract job i worked at was at a children hospital, and the a zimbabwean nurse said he only gets about two 8hrs shift a week. He works casual shifts at a care home to make ends meet. He has been at the hospital for over 2years ... and it seems they are not interested in offering him a full time position. I heard nurses in the northern parts of provinces get paid well with lots of overtime, but who wants to live in a frozen desert? ...lol i do not know about the wages in the US but most of the nurses i have met would migrate to the US if it was very easy. The US had recruiters coming over to canadian universities in years past, but i think times have changed. |
