info on travel nursing

[charlene]

Hi,

I am a Canadian trained Registered nurse, RN BScN ONS. I have been trying to begin travel nursing in the US or Canada. There doesn't seem to be much in Canada and in the US, you seem to need your NCLEX everywhere.

I haven't taken the NCLEX exams but I am certainly willing to do so. My problem is that I live in France and I would really like to take the NCLEX when I am in the US working. How likely is this?

I am willing to go anywhere to work. My background is peds acute care and outpt oncology.

I have been working on this for a long time and seem to get nowhere. If there is such a shortage of nurses, why can't a very competent and capable nurse with 15 yrs experience get a travel position.

HELP

Charlene

Hello Charlene!

Here is a useful site: Go to http://www.ncsbn.org/public/regulati...sing_board.htm

There you will find links to the various state nursing boards. Be sure to look at North Carolina. They do NOT require the NCLEX.

If I can be of any further help, please call me at 1-800-543-9399, extension 154 or ask for Jamie.
