Thanks.

Its official... Finally, NCLEX-RN
To God be the glory..
Barbiee
P406
Auschris.. Come and pop champagne

Congrats bro. Well done.

TheArchangel:
well, seems agency may look like some modern day slavery to some people especially peeps who can afford to DIY. Considering the contract signing and all....

Hmm, I get your point. What of salary, any difference between the two?

IYIMAN:


Thanks..
CVS $390... More expensive than CES (only New York)

Nursing Board $143

Books $74

Uworld $79.85

Nclex $200

Others personal logistics.

Visa, traveling for exam

School , council, courier.. Depends on you and the institutions.
You can use agents to bear all your costs. This is just my DIY

kai, that's huge somehow for someone who's not earning more than 200k..walahi. Roughly $900 which is equivalent to 279,134naira.

Saving up for this.

I am also asking this question oo[color=][/color]

IYIMAN:
Who else is preparing exam here... Please try uworld , at least a month to your exam.

This advise is very very sacrosanct (important )

While Filing the Texas Board of Nursing RN applicants form, there's a part where they request for your schools NCSBN(National Council of State Board of Nursing) number.....dont know if I should leave it blank, my school doesn't have it, plan on calling to Confirm though.....with what the organisation stands for I think it should be limited to the schools in the United States, m not sure, any suggestions please?

Pls nurse kindly send those materials to me, especially Uworld.. You never can know when it will come in handy. Thanks in advance

Not at agency. Agency is an option if you do not have to financial muscle to carry you through. IYIMAN gave a conservative estimate of how much he spent. In reality, it costs more than that. You need to take into consideration the cost of procuring the visa, airfare, hotel accommodation in addition to the estimate he already gave. If you are taking the exam outside the US, you will pay an international scheduling fee of $150.
An agency, like Avant (I don't know how the others operate), takes care of the all the costs apart from the cost of sending documents from naija and visa processing fee for the exam. That's a huge relief for most nurses in naija.
The advantages of DIY are that you will study for nclex at your pace but you must have self motivation to go through that. Agency na fire for fire, which is good for 'lazy' people like me. It also gets you a shorter contract term. For example, with Avant you get a contract for 6240 hours without nclex and 4160 hours with nclex. Avant also pays you a sign on bonus of $2500 if you have nclex. You can get off your 6240 hours contract if you convert to a full time staff of the hospital where you are assigned when you attain 4160 hours.
NB: I don't the know the terms of other agencies.
In conclusion, going with an agency is not slavery in anyway. What is slavery is that you go through the rigours of nursing education in your country and after working for 5 years in Federal establishment (the biggest employer of labor)and your monthly pay is not more than ₦150,000 and sometimes you only get what is rightfully yours by embarking on strike or with 'abeg'. If you are not fortunate, you end up in a private hospital with less than 50k a month plus insults.

Thanks sir. I appreciate this your lenghty response. Seems meeting avant's 100 abi 200 bedded hospital criterion is a herculean task as most of our major private hospital employers don't even reach that number.

Add Lacharity to it. Read Saunders and Lacharity before using uworld. if you are doing a self study, I suggest you do uworld for at least 2 months.

Thanks so much for the analysis . Btw, during the contract period, is the salary lesser than that of other nurses?

Chris, you're so point on. That's the biggest slavery. I don dey federal since 2011, my money never reach 120, my take home is less than 100k, I went on maternity leave, my shift allowance was withdrawn for four months, after that they refused to reinstall it, I kept travelling upandan spending money and risking life for a long while.
My brain no dey dusty oh, the worst injustice I could do to myself is not to try this when I have all the required gadgets.
I go read, I go pray, it go be. Once again, thanks to everyone guiding us in this family.
We will all testify to the glory of God.

Aww.. Thanks dearie

Lol even o Grady Peyton requests for 100 beds, all of them sha like 100 bed, like that shows how proficient you are as a nurse, I worked as a student nurse in a teaching hospital for 4 years, n whilst I was at that I vowed never to work as a Nurse when I graduate, my whole mindset about the profession changed when I got employed in a private setting, atleast things were done to some extent the ideal way, no sentiments o, but the truth is that you can ignore your duties as a Nurse in a government hospital, since "Na government work" supervision isn't tat intense, but in a private hospital, you'd work your ass out, that petty cash they pay you, the management would ensure you work for every dime, it's crazy though, but just that 2years experience has given me skills and knowledge my fellow colleagues working in a government setting don't have, plus again it depends on the kind of private hospital, .... It's DIY for me though, I can foot the bill, na the whole 100 beds thing make me no start the whole process since, wey I dey waste time..... But thanks for this forum and thanks for the right information. God help us all.

Could u pls drop your whatsapp no or email add...need to ask you some questions.

Please I need to begin my career in nursing in the US. I presently hold a bachelor degree in physics, so I would like to know a path to follow to achieve this dream, a diploma course or certificate course I could start with with tuition of $5k. I don't want to go the BSN bridge path because it looks expensive.
