Having recruiters ready to sponsor Nigeria nurses abroad would be great but it's very hard to see one these days. Most of the recruiters i have seen online restrict their clients to Indians and fillipinos. Which is kind of sad. We have the will.. We are just looking for the way

true but funny enough I think the main issue I their requirement. Through my conversation with some of them they focus on nurses who in past one/two years were in acute care and managing over 100 beds...coupled with having cgfns and ielts. Even having nclex would be best chance...from what I've noticed. Anyway let is in if you have more recruiters...cheers

Hi....my wife's ielts is listening 6 reading 6 speaking 7.5 and writing 7.5. She's a nurse...please can anyone advise if we are good to go with USA work visa hunt. @barbiee we need you right now...

barbiee:
You are getting it wrong. Most of us here studied Nursing for 3 years and midwifery for 18 months, the 18 months midwifery is called a post basic course. Now your wife on the other hand studied midwifery for 3 years so she is a registered Midwife. If she wants to get double qualifications she can decide to study nursing for 18 months as a post basic course.

The licensing authorities abroad request for at least 3 years of full time study in either Nursing (RN) or midwifery (RM) to be eligible for registration. Our post basic midwifery certificate does not meet the cut because it's just an 18 months program.

Your wife however meets the cut for midwifery. So she can apply for registration as a Midwife instead of a nurse.
I hope you understand what im trying to say here?

yes I now understand. thanks a lot. are you in delta?

the required score for ielts differs with each state Board of nursing. Most of them wants 7 in each band and 7 overall score. Let her Google the states and pick the one that her score will be accepted.

I think Barbie stated somewhere that states like Texas does not require English proficiency exam. If this is the case, then your wife is good to go without ielts.

For countries where English is required, then, while your wife did well, the result can't really be of any use....she needs a minimum of 7 in all modules.

The only country where 6.5 is accepted is ireland, they accept 6.5 in reading and listening. I think Canada does aswell

That's not entirely true...My wife qualifies for State of Florida (6.5 Overall with minimum 7 in Speaking module)

To be registered in Canada you need to pass ielts first with at least 7 in all the modules. After that then you register with NNAS for your Credentials Evaluation

The cost for what?

Cost for someone to help process the validation form from cgfns in nursing council

Let me share with you guys some information that may be useful. Recently my wife has been getting numerous offers to work in the USA. But now the sponsors are not able to proceed because my wife works in UAE as a home nurse. According to the sponsors they require nurses who have recent 1 year experience in ICU,Critical care, A&E,acute care etc. They also require you to work in a ward of about 50-100 beds. Now my wife has CGFNS and IELTS but she is tied cos she is with only one patient or 2 max per day. So please make una no go family planning department o...stay in the ward and apply to all those agents in USA. they are willing to guide you into transitioning to USA at ZERO cost.

Kind regards.

Please anyone knows what options my wife has to enable her do a bridge program and work at the same time in USA

Can anyone recommend some recruitment firms here please

are are you referring to an agent fee? If yes, you don't need one. The cost for cgfns is $350. I already explained the whole process in this thread including what you will be asked to pay in Nursing council when you get there.
