I got it now...was thinking once u graduate... u belong to NMC only. Yea..most nurses don't tell their mates. Many don't follow up after learning abt it either. How I wish u can contact d one in Oz.

Well, I will try chatting up the babe in Oz, she's still my contact on bbm.

I will also try getting in touch with an old colleague of mine in Oz, a doctor though. He tried encouraging me to try coming shortly after he left, I will look him up on fb and hear what he'll say

LaurelP:

Na dis papa u dey call

You no see say she be madam?? Why the guy no go be papa?

@op
But honestly, posting someone's pic here isn't cool at all

ferdimako:
I was talking abt Oz route for nurse...if u must do all that before or after landing in canny...no stress.

Are u sure NMC had send ur transcripts to WES without d farmer's pay? U can still reach NMC again if u know u must pay d sum.

Good, our debit cards pay for WES' charges. We will dodge d courier and its $85.

Oh, didn't realise you were talking about oz, a colleague/classmate travelled to oz, I knw she wrote IELTs but I didn't ask her the remaining details. We are not so close and she didn't seem to want to discuss the process.

My school sent the transcripts themselves not NMC, then I sent my certs and WES said they sent NMC the certs for verification (of course, its only NMC that can verify my certs and licence since they were the one that issued them and not school). So I am just wondering if they have used some other means to do the verification, if not, what else could be a reason for my WES status to change from waiting for verification to review in progress? Really, I am just wondering, watching, waiting and hopeful while working on other things to.

ferdimako:
U need to do d licensing & registration right from here. I don't have the details.

So how did u deal with NMC, cost etc?

So how did u pay WES?

Yea. I know I can start the registration process from here that's why I am planning to write both the academic and general version of IELTS, I can then move to the next step after that.

I paid for wes online with a GT master card.

As for NMC, I called and they said their charge is N8,750. They said they will contact me with details of how to make the payment and I am yet to hear from them.

But then, my wes status changed from waiting for verification from institution to review in progress so I don't know if they have used somne other means to do the verification without contacting me.

I emailed wes about 2-3days ago, got an automated response and another donotreply response. Waiting for a response that addressed the issues I raised in my mail.

ferdimako:
Yea, it's 19!
They should...you sent d certs and council sent their transcripts, right. I know a woman that will soon start this process but she has B.SNc from National Open University of Nigeria. That is 21 for sure. She called me today...I told her Australian's is harder with visa cash, no points from work when u studied, their IELTS' point allocation and license.


I hope u r only required to get licensed when in Canada...d issue for her is getting cash that reflects her family of 6. OZ's subclass 189 does not require showing cash availability.

Yea. School sent transcripts, then I sent certs and licence. They sent a mail to say they have forwarded the certs to NMC for verification and I think they should be rounding up with all of that by now cos it's really taken a long time.

I guess all I'll need to practise in canada is to get registered with their own board which is usually not such a big issue. For Us you write their board exams and in Uk, you just for a 3-6month over seas nursing program plus write the academic version of IELTS and score a minimum of 7 in all the parts. I'm sure canada's won't be so different.

How does australian own really work?

If Education is 21, it is 70! So nobody has assessed RN and Midwifery cert @ WES? What do u have on ur IELTS now?

Wish education would be upto 21.

As for IELTS, here's the result R-6, W-6.5,S-7.5,L-6 (that's about 19points from what I gathered, right?)

Haven't come across anyone that accessed RN and RM cert, that would have given me an idea of what to expect

Chiichii2010: @queen47,i sent u a mail.

Seen. Replied.

ferdimako:
OK...sent. I hope you guys are calculating d points very well...to avoid over-laboring for no just course.

My dear eh, no be small calculating very well. That's actually part of the reasons I am delaying registering for another IELTS as I am waiting to hear from wes and see what my certificate was evaluated as.

Meanwhile, see what I calculated. Help me cross check and see if its possible for this to earn me the required points

English lang -24 (assuming I write again and hit the 24points)
Age- 12 less than 35
Work experience -45months
Education- 19-21 ( really don't know what my qualifications will be evaluated as)

Chiichii2010:
@queen,sunderland seems to be having problems thy said no more admission for now,bedfordshire seems to ve rectify there own but fees on high side for me,so that's y iam trying to see if I can start sth this year so it does not waste.am happy there are other nurses. Plz can I pm u,just for few questions, so u put me thro,i am to rewrite ielts,got 6.5 in june.anoda tin is do we need to write nclex or wot.thanks for your help

Oh! I was never that interested in sunderland. Have friends there that adviced me to go to bedfordshire so.

Meanwhile, saw you Pmed me, I can't access that email right now. Resend the mai to Let me know once u get this address so I can take it off.

I am not sure you need to write nclex. Its not part of the requirement for FSWP but that doesn't mean you will be able to practise in canada with your licence here as you are only licenced to practise in Nigeria. Canada has it own board responsible for registration of nurses. When we get there, we will worry about that.

Meanwhile, I am looking at writing both the general and acadmic version of IELTS cos the academic version is needed for registration with canadian board

ferdimako:
I didn't conclude and that was why I used that word 'seems' to make that statement, my observation or my feeling less assertive or forceful.

Haven't seen d materials yet? All d best!

Understood.

Yea. I have seen the materials. I replied the mail and thanked you. I thought I also confirmed it on this thread.

Thanks once more. God bless.

Currently on leave so don't have access to the kind of internet access that'd allow me study the materials well. I just openend the email and confirmed it. Can't wait to get back to work so I can really give attention to it

seunlovesa:


Waoh..... I am giving everything I have for this FSW program. Psychiatric nursing is my speciality.

Hi, good to see a colleague willing to go all the way. i was beginning to think i am the only nurse doing this. keep me posted with your success.

Have written IELTS and waiting for Wes though i intend to try wes again. I need more marks that will earn me the whole 24points

Chiichii2010: I have been reading through this thread to see if I can see questions relating to nurses that want to migrate to canada through this route but it seems there isn't any.plz is there anybody with any information that could be of help.

Chichii, I am a nurse and like Solomonwise said, the process is same. i have written IELTS and have sent my credentials to wes for evaluation, waiting for their response. Reference letters for past work experience wont be difficult to get as i've had good working relationships with all my previous employers.

So, go on register for IELTS, approach wes for evaluation of your credentials

Meanwhile, how far with your sunderland application? i have an offer from both sunderland and bedfordshire for september, still working on how to make it possible.

ferdimako:
Nurses seem to be okay in Nigeria. I introduced one...seeing IELTS as one of d requirements, she started dodging me until I deleted her cell number.

Lol, well, i am a nurse, have written IELTS and had 6 and above ( though i am planning to write another one because i really need that 24points to be able to earn 67points), have sent my documents to wes for evaluation and waiting for their response, so dont say we seem okay here. One person is not enough to draw conclusion. Though, i do have colleagues that i introduced to this but they just see the process as one mighty task so i minded my business

technolee: Evaluation in progress. You will get a completion feedback from them soon. Don't fret.

Alright. Thanks

Meritl: If you are sure that your institution has sent a reply back to WES, and your status changed to "review in progress", it means they are doing a final review after which, they'll post your verification to you. The final ECA report could be sent via UPS between 3-5 days. Quite frustrating but surely.

Well, I don't know if my institution has replied wes or not. I contacted them severally and they said they didn't get/havent gotten anything from wes, that was when I decided to explore the option of using courier service for the verification.

Let me wait and see if wes will contact me sooon

Thanks for your response

Ok, guys, I nEed you people to help me understand this my wes situation.

When I first sent my documents, my status read ...Documents recieved- review in progress.

Later, the status changed to -waiting for verfication from institution (they sent me a mail to notify me of this).

I just checked today and the status now reads ...documents recieved- review in progress.(They didn't send me a mail)

What does this mean? Does it me they've gotten verification from my institution? Does it mean my evaluation is almost done?

This evaluation has taken so long. I've sent mail to ask for directives to use courier service to do the verification from institution and I haven't gotten any response

Sorry about your situation @op

I am kinda more concerned about your wife. Her bp needs to be monitored closely and chances that she'll have a C/S has increased with this elevation in Bp. I hope you have enough money saved should she need a C/S.

Stay strong.

ferdimako:
I don't follow...materials sent though.

Thanks. God bless.

What I meant is that you quoted the post where I typed my email address, so I asked you to edit/modify the quote so you can delete the email address. Anyway, its fine since the address isn't complete.

Once again, thanks. Will check the email later as I can't access it right now. Will let you know if I received it or not

ferdimako:
To get max of listening u must get 8. Ur e-mail addy is not complete. Hitch a bro! Y are we all single?

Sorry, please, add @yahoo.com.

Lol@hitch a bro.

NB, please modify your post so you can delete the address.

Thanks

ferdimako:
If u used that BOMB...appeal. Ur problem is d timing...since Writing is not objective..
u are good. The guy that sent me d BOMB did appeal after seeing 7.0 & got 8.0 after.

Please can you help me with the material you just talked about. I already did IELTS and got L-6, W-6.5, R-6, S-7.5. I was aiming for Minimum of 7 in each part so I can get the 24points since I am single and need all the points necessary to make me qualify.

My email address is .

Please, if you also have materials for the academic version, can you kindly forward that aswell as I would be needing it too and I would need to score a minimum of 7 in each part.

Thanks

Terrible
What kind of a son is this one now?

While thinking of how to sort out all of these, please go get your daughter. She's still too young to be without her mum and the father you described can't be trusted with a child

Happy married life Lorreta. May God's blessings rest upon ur home.

Thanks. Got it

This is terrible. RIP

So touching. I'm trying so hard to hold back the tears. I don't know him but i feel the pain of the loss. RIP brov

What Happened? Cant find my post, why are so many posts hidden?

winbyforce:
Did u tell them u're an international applicant?
1.U have to be a registered nurse in TEXAS.there are some international exams for nurses that ease their quest for licensure in the US. U need to find out if Texas accepts such exams and do it. I think u can do d exam in abuja.pls google it
2.U need to do the SATs and score well. Also TOEFL. U shd know that these criteria SEEMS to be for students applying from texas.requirements for international applicants mayb slightly different.
3.Send ur transcripts and let them determine if u did enough course work.
Hope that helps.Good luck

Yea, I told them I'm an international student. They did mention something about completing some courses in government, Economics and History, dont also know how I'm gonna do that since I'm here in Naija. Besides, I already did Economics in sec school but didnt do government cos I was science inclined. About the history, I think it should be US history. I will google the exams as u said. Thanks.

More suggestions will be appreciated pls.
