Foreign Nursing Graduates Will Have One Standard To Practice Nursing In The United States

By:


In the past, foreign nursing graduates were sometimes faced with the problem that due to the different standards in nursing education for license . An R.N. could practice in Florida but not Illinois for example. This is very big problem on many fronts for the nurse, as well as the employer. For this reason in 2004 , the members of the NCSBN signed an agreement to fuse all boards to the same standard for foreign nursing graduates: a high school, proof of English proficiency and credential evaluation to demonstrate that the education of the applicant was similar to that of a nurse having graduated in that same state.
This puts many applicants in a quagmire because they lack the educational requirements that they would have had to complete to graduate in that state. Most local colleges will not allow them to simply take one or two courses and they cannot in many cases return to their country of origin to complete them because they may not be available given that they were not a part of the program in that particular nation. So , what is the candidate to do".. study all over again". This is timely and costly. One particular board of nursing Florida , has spearheaded this issue". They have concluded that those individuals lacking certain hours to be made eligible for the NCLEX-RN will have to go through a state approved remedial program. Most all other states will probably follow. The HNS remedial/refresher program takes on the approach that the candidate needs to review all areas. During our nursing seminars we review basic anatomy/physiology and the most common physiopathologies that might appear on the NCLEX-RN. We at HNS don"t believe in memorization because it is ineffective and nursing is based on recognizing individual client needs and addressing those needs. That is what the practice of nursing requires and that is what the NCLEX-RN or PN requires. HNS will teach the candidate certain strategies to recognize where in the process the question lies" Because if the candidate does not understand that it will be nearly impossible for him or her to know how to answer the question correctly. It would be as if I asked you for oranges and you gave me apples. The NCLEX-RN is an exam that requires analysis skills not memorization skills".So, if you need to pass the NCLEX this program will help you achieve that goal if you already have an R.N. but need to refresh your skills today"s hectic environment requires time management, analysis and critical skills to be a successful nurse.
There for if you find yourself in this situation the remedial program ".. Offered by HNS can help you kill two birds with one stone. You can attain the state required hours and you will be ready to pass your NCLEX- RN
