But direct hire gives you a good amount of time for orientation as a new grad or foreign trained nurse. The problem I have learnt from agencies is that when they get you a job, the hospital expects you to get the ground running cos they expect u know what u re doing. I see that as risking one’s license. A new grad or foreign trained nurse needs at least 4 months orientation before settling to work independently.

Hi! Do you also cover NCLEX travel expenses such as (visa to Dubai, plane ticket, accommodation) if my location does not have a testing center? I’m a Filipino RN who is educated here in Bahrain and we do not have NCLEX testing site here.

Are we going to choose the state or it depends?

[hashmatqali]

Hi there,
Do Australian nursing graduates needs to do IELTS?

[Raqualla]

How long are the contracts? What if you cannot sit the NCLEX due to CGFSN evaluation? Can you sit the NCLEX before applying and how?... I dont feel you provide the full information. We no what to do after, but how do we sit the NCLEX to begin with when some evaluation companies wont accept UK nurses? It would be nice to know beforehand.

[magla_everywhere]

[noelelikemnicodemus]
