August 23,2007: NCLEX in Manila at last!

http://www.ncsbn.org/ CHICAGO - The National Council of State Boards of Nursing, Inc. (NCSBN) will begin NCLEX testing in Manila, the capital city of the Philippines, at the international Pearson Professional Center on Aug. 23, 2007. Scheduling for examination appointments will begin on July 13, 2007. The Manila site was chosen in February by the NCSBN Board of Directors because of the deep commitment shown by the Philippine government to ensuring a secure test center. The placement of a test site in the Philippines will allow for greater customer service to nurses without compromising the goal of safeguarding the public health, safety and welfare of patients in the U.S. Intended for the purposes of domestic nurse licensure in U.S. states and territories, all security policies and procedures currently used to administer the NCLEX examination domestically will be fully implemented at this new site. Administration of the NCLEX examination abroad does not contradict or circumvent any current board of nursing process or requirement. All international candidates are required to apply to the board of nursing in the state or territory where they wish to be licensed before registering for the NCLEX examination. The NCLEX examination fee for all candidates is $200. Candidates who elect to take the NCLEX at an international site pay an additional $150 when they schedule their examination. State and territorial NCLEX examination fees remain at their current levels and are not being used to subsidize the international testing initiative. Offered abroad since January 2005, the current international sites for NCLEX examinations are in London, England; Hong Kong; Sydney, Australia; Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver, Canada; Frankfurt, Germany; Mumbai, New Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Chennai, India; Mexico City, Mexico; Taipei, Taiwan; and Chiyoda-ku and Yokohama, Japan. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing, Inc. (NCSBN) is a not-for-profit organization whose membership comprises the boards of nursing in the 50 states, the District of Columbia and four U.S. territories.

متى ستظل الأمور على ما يرام بالنسبة لي. انا الآن نبحث عن وسائل أخرى لكسب انتظار بلادي الولايات المتحدة تطبيقها. الولايات المتحدة اذا اعتقد حقا بالنسبة لي فانه سيأتي في الوقت المناسب ، في ارادة الله. كنت مرة في المملكه العربية السعودية واتني الناطقه باللغه العربية. لا استطيع ان افهم الكتابة والكتابة لكن بوسعي ان اتكلم قليلا يكفي لفهم بلدي المرضى. وهذه الوظيفة لمجرد اللهو...

Peace be with you! Retrogression is back and I don't know when will things turn out right for me. I am now looking for other means to earn while waiting for my USA application. I guess if USA is really for me then it will come in time, in God's will. I was once in Saudi Arabia and I missed speaking in Arabic. I cannot write and understand the writing but I can speak a little enough for my patients to understand. This post is just for fun...
