Hmm.. My reasons..
1. Texas does not need ielts
2. It is a compact state
3. Less tax
4. High wages due to low cost of living
5. Diversity. The black community is massive

@barbiee. Your number one reason is wrong. Texas Nursing Board require ielts
Check below


If you have never been licensed in the US before you would need to apply through the Examination process.

A completed application for licensure through Exam for International applicants includes:
(1) NCLEX-RN/NCLEX-PN application and $100 fee*
(2) A fingerprint submission either on a fingerprint card or electronically through MorphoTrust USA. Applicants must be living in Texas to submit fingerprints electronically otherwise a fingerprint card is required.
(3) CES Course by Course/Professional Report. The Board only accepts CES reports from ERES (www.eres.com), IERF (www.ierf.org) or CGFNS (www.cgfns.org). The CES report will verify if the applicant's qualifications are comparable to Texas educated nurses and if there is anything lacking (specific classes or hours). Applicants are notified by letter if the report indicates something is missing.
(4) Passing results of an English proficiency exam. The Board accepts TOEFL, TOEFL ibt, IELTS, both TWE & TSE, and PTE. An English proficiency exam is required if the CES Report verifies the applicant was educated in a language other than English. The required minimum passing scores are listed on the BON website.
(5) Verification of Licensure (VOL) from every country/state an applicant was granted authority to practice nursing. The VOL must be sent directly to the BON by the licensing authority.*
(6) Registration with Pearson Vue (www.vue.com/nclex; $200 fee)*
*expires after 1 year

Once all of the above is received an applicant is ready to be deemed eligible to test. There is no specific order the paperwork must be submitted but all paperwork must be received before an applicant can be deemed eligible to test. A social security number is not required to receive a license; however, without an SSN applicants are not eligible to apply online and the background check may take longer to complete.

Applicants must also take the Nursing Jurisprudence Exam (http://www.bon.state.tx.us/olv/je.html) Applicants must take the Jurisprudence Exam prior to taking the NCLEX

As of July 2016 international applicants will be ineligible to test for Texas if they have not practiced within the past four years and are more than four years past their graduation date.

Hello house.
English test is not need, get the explanation right and dont go and waste your money doing it.This is what they said.
An English proficiency exam is required if the CES Report verifies the applicant was educated in a language other than English.LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH. I REPEAT OTHER THAN ENGLISH.

good day everyone,

Please are there states in usa that accepts working experience below 2years for board registration?

You'd need it eventually to process your Visascreen

Hello house,
I must commend everyone who is making one or two contributions in this thread.I would like to suggest or point out that even when we talk about the regisration in different states I would equally suggest we talk about strategies in passing the NCLEX exam and also materials used in studying for the exam.Another thing I would like to suggest is for those who are already in the process of applying they should tell the house how they were able to make payment to the board of nursing

Goodday House,

My sister wish to study nursing in the USA we are looking at colleges in Houston area. Please advice on the cheap college and requirement if you have passed this route.

Thanks and God bless u all.

Hi all,
I just joined this forum and it has been quite a very inspiring, knowledgeable and insightful platform.I took my time to read from the beginning of this conversation to the last page. A big congratulations to all who have recorded successes in their various efforts of working abroad.
Gracias to @Iyiman, @Endowed, @Auschris, @p406 for all the detailed information. Please I would like an advice on what to be done as regards my case.
I am a registered nurse in this country, graduated in 2011, I have one year experience in a tertiary hospital(LUTH), subsequent 3years experience was at a big diagnostic centre in Lagos. I currently work as a nurse in an outpatient clinic which is not up to a year. I have intentions of working abroad,US, Canada, UK, Australia, Ireland , anyone which turns out positive. I started out with Ireland because I felt it was easier and cost effective. I wrote IELTS with LS8.5,R8.0 W6.5 and an overall band of 8.0. However for Ireland Writing requirement is 7.0, so now I can not use the result for Ireland. I currently sent my application to Avant but got a response from them that my application was rejected because I lacked the 100-bed acute nursing experience and should get one before I can apply.
Please can anyone advice on what I can do. Even if I have to write another IELTS, I figure this result is too good to be wasted and want to try all available options before attempting another one. Please kindly assist with any information on what to do please. Thank you in anticipation. .
N.B I would not mind information on US as well

Lovelyd89 same is my case too.except that am preparing for ielts .i will appreciate if we can work together and share information.u can reach me o.am really fade up with nursing in this cou

Try IELT again 2nd time for UK, try US i heard you can use apply individually without 100 beds.

For real, I think if you read from the top to the very last page of this thread you should have gotten the answer you need... Well in your case I feel your choice should be dependent on how funded you are to go on this ride, if you eventually opt for the US, you'd have to foot the bill solely, at least to the point when you write and pass your NCLEX, the UK is quite fast and less expensive, all you need to do is pass the IELTS with a score of 7 on each module, people write IELTS as much as 5 times just to get the required cut off, your score is cool but fact still remains it doesn't meet up, so you can decide to spend 68k writing the IELTS again that's if your first attempt was the UKVI version, and if it wasn't 81,500 thereabout for the ukvi version, and have an agency take it up from there when you have the required score, With UK 1 year experience is very okay regardless of the type of health facility, for Canada Hmmm its just a no go area atleast with all the info I was able to gather from different sources. Well if you have enough money and time in your hands you can try it out. Then Australia, you also need that 7 on each module .

You can choose to take the bsc route which is about 4yrs and graduate as a registered nurse, but if you decide to take the community college route this is far cheaper and you spend less time time schooling but you get an associate degree as a licensed vocational nurse or Certified Nurse aide. Houston community college is a popular choice, the CNA is 1yr while LVN is two years but LVN is a higher grade and pays more. If you didnt study nursing before you will have to take some prerequisite courses before you begin the actual program. You can check the school's website for more info

The part of the years of experience in a tertiary level hospital, lol this things can be made up, naija is corrupt

Very useful comment you made. However, the part in bold....hmmm. Let us be careful about the things we say online. Anyone and every one can access these things. The result is that certificates and stuff from Nigeria attracts excessive scrutiny.

It is well.

Hello....does nclex update their test locations

My fellow nurses, please can someone give me the best option of making payment to Canada, am in dare need of the information.
