Send me a PM. It's too large to attach here

A3710:

Sorry I don't have that. I have Saunders, lippincott kaplan, davis and nclex made incredibly easy (all in soft copy). If interested I can forward to ur mail

Yuzee:
Thanks but I'm sure it's the soft copy u are talking about...i have it... It's the hard copy I want... I don't mind buying a used one

IyaEjima:
Iyaejima, good afternoon. I have a few questions I would like to ask you privately if you don't mind. Can I have your email address or phone number if you don't mind. I am in Manitoba at the moment. My email address is eunicedearie@yahoo.com. Thank you very much.
I beg to disagree with this info cuz I am practising in Manitoba. Even with the merger (which is only within one health region (and only in the ER and ICU depts which Nigerian nurses hardly go to) leaving other specialty areas in this region and other health regions free of this your allegation, there are still nursing positions open every single day and people are still getting employed. The college (and not board) doesn’t delay applications (evaluations come from NNAS by the way, You apply to the college after NNAS and people hear back from the college within 5-7days at the latest). People delay themselves because it takes them forever to come up with the exam fee, pick an exam date and prep for their competence exam. Need I add that many IENs are scared of the exam and spread rumours around instead. I remember people telling me it was the hardest exam ever and if I listened to them and prepared eternally, I may never have gathered the courage to write it. So please be very objective when you advise people.

Ohky I dont have it. You could order on Amazon if you really need it.

vickyehi:
While preparing for the NCLEX-RN, try not to spread yourself too thin with numerous materials so you dont have anxiety when you cant finish any.
My preparation advice are ;

Content; Saunders then Mark klimek
This should be covered at the initial stage of preparation that is while you are doing all the CGFNS requirements. It comes in very handy especially if it has been a while since you left school and you weren't reading outside of your nursing school notes.
Klimerk would help you consolidate the knowledge you have gathered from Saunders and what you already know.

Delegation; Lacharity
It would help you understand the roles of UAPs/ LPNs and brush up your prioritization skills also.

Qbank; Kaplan then Uworld.
Kaplan could be used along side Saunders while you are still doing all the BON wahala but save the CBT tests for later.
Uworld could be started when you have gotten your ATT. That's in the final 8 weeks of preparation so you can use it to measure how far you have come.
Last 2 weeks of the 8 weeks can be for all your CBTs and readiness tests.

Please note that this may not work for everyone but I found it helpful. However it is very important not to loose faith in your capabilities irrespective of what scores you are getting on your Qbank attempts. I also don't believe in doing Qbanks multiple times because I feel you are cramming the questions and answers ( I dont know about you but I would remember it if I have seen it before).

BEST OF LUCK AS YOU PREPARE
....surely it would end in praise for everyone sitting any exams

[please help oooquote author=fendorf post=76386844]Please how long does the visa screen processing takes with cgfns?

IYIMAN:
It is quite a while on this forum. A lot of colleagues have moved to both the UK and the USA on this forum. Thanks to everyone that have contributed.
It is comforting to know the the creator of this thread Barbiee is packing her bags already to relocate soonest. A good number of us in the US are doing fine.... Maybe a new thread will soon come up to share our experiences, practising outside Nigeria.
To everyone still planning, make hay while the sun shines, before the requirements change. All the best to those preparing for Nclex.
Please consider *Vickyehi* advice. Saunders and Uworld. Shalom!

Hi all. Kudus to you all for sharing useful information. Please i need advice i am eager to leave this country preferably to US. I am about to sign contract with Avant and about to commence cgfns ces. From observation i notice US journey takes nothing less than 18months grom CES CGFNS to visa immigration completion. So i am considering starting the UK process of CBT and IELTS so that if God wills i can go to UK while i continue with Avant US process. Please help with advice does it make sense. Thanks

IYIMAN:

A lot of people have done and are still doing that. The US process is a game of time where patience is the watchword. While moving to UK, consider your contract with the UK agent may be 2 years. And so, may subsist while you're ready to move to the US... Barbiee

My advice is that you should go the UK ist because remaining in Nigeria is not good for mental health .
However if you can, sign a short contract 1yr or find an employer yourself so you dont have to sign any contract with a staffing agency.
But whatever you do, dont wait in Nigeria

I'm so sorry I have not been active on this thread.
Congratulations to iyiman, finally your US dream is a reality and a big congratulations to those that are living their dreams abroad. I'm happy you didn't give up and I hope the success stories from this thread encourages nurses in Nigeria aiming for a better life .. don't settle for less, you can achieve more than you ever imagined.

For those that have been here from the beginning, and to you that have kept this thread alive by responding to questions, your reward is in heaven.

Some of you are aware that I stopped processing my US application midway due to personal reasons however, I proceeded to attempt registration in the UK and will be resuming US registration on a latter date.
I'm going to share every detail about this new adventure very soon.

It is possible to start and finish UK registration within 4 months. Infact, right now the UK is the fastest and easiest route for nurses who really want to leave Nigeria. It's also a good place to start from if your USA or Canadian dream is taking too long.

And one more thing.

No matter what anyone tells you, DO NOT PAY ANY AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OR FOR MATERIALS!!
there are many free CBT, IELTS and NCLEX materials available on softcopy to go round.
Don't be desperate to the point of parting with your hard earned money. Those study materials you are itching to buy were sent to your agent/seller free of charge and will be sent to you too if you request for it.
Let's be our sisters and brothers keeper.
