Nice reading from my pal, Barbiee, who did the needful at the right time to save time. I am happy to finally move over to the States, all thanks to God.

1. Immediately the requirements were met, it took just 6 months to get to consular interview stage, which looked like a formality because USCIS has approved the visa petition by my employer and every legally required documents have been fulfilled.

2. I landed in the US with same experience as shared by barbie, temperature was sub-zero. Picked up by my employer straight to a restaurant, then to the hotel. Then another life started.

3&4. A lot of differences in practice but the same principle. Nurses in the U.S. do a lot more than basically Nursing a patient. The 3 categories of Nurses with varying roles, but the RN to which Nigeria Nurses automatically belong leads the team. Nurses in America are critical decision makers in patient care. I was surprised to have to be the one writing consult to specialists that should see my patients after admission. To have to put in several treatment orders and sign off for the MD. For the MD to listen and go with your line of reasoning/decision in patients care. Everyone here works as a team and there's no superiority/inferiority issues.

5. Work for your money and enjoy yourself. Study further and become an authority in your special area. There are over 100 types of Nursing speciality in the US to choose from. They almost have a Traffic Nurse �.

6. All Aspiring Nurses, make hay while the sun shines, the U.S. �� is in serious need of you. The process remains the same for now. Do not procrastinate, stop wishing and start acting on those dreams. There is no better time to start this process than now.
The U.S remains one of the main destinations. Many in other western countries are still finding their way here.
Shalom.
The bolded cracked me up. You will of some speciality and you will be like seriously...

Please your advice is urgently needed:

I am a double qualified Nurse RN and RPN ready to migrate to UK. My Nursing experience however, has been in general nursing. I intend pursuing Psychiatric nursing with my qualifications but have limited years of experience. In the NMC registration for CBT exams should I opt for the Mental Health or Adult/General Nursing.

What is the flow for Mental Health CBT as well as Adult Nursing CBT? I would appreciate if I can get study materials for both so as to make up my mind asap. Please send the cbt study materials to yugoberryt@gmail.com. Thank you..
I have the same experience, but I came in with adult nursing to know the framework of practise before applying for mental health on the register.

Please do anybody know the update about the US Ban?

I want to start my US journey but want to be sure the ban won't affect it, so I don't end up wasting my time and money.

I will be sitting for IELTS soon. US or Australia are my dream destinations. Please I need informed advise

Pls can one who studied just community nursing in a Nigerian school of nursing get a job in the UK/or any other country?

Will it be easy getting a job just like one who did basic/general nursing?
Re: "Nigeria Nurses Working Abroad, Share your experience" by Samnigazz: 2:28am On Nov 03, 2021
To the best of my knowledge, the basic qualification is a school of nursing certificate for general nursing not community nursing(RN).
