Re: NCLEX passed!
NCLEX is absolutely solid when you are a UK Nurse. The way the exam is set up is scary in itself. Many many congratulations.

Re: NCLEX passed!
And she got the first job she applied for! ICU nurse in Kindred. Initially they loved her resume but got cold feet when they realised she didn't have any US experience. The HR guy "reluctantly" passed her resume to the ward manager anyway who saw the Philippine Heart Center on her resume and pointed out that actually that's very good, US or not.
She has applied to other positions but they're still pending (open application) and this position is in an area she wants to live, in a hospital with a good reputation, and with a salary which is pretty good. Oh and the health plan is still with Kaiser, so no switching doctors - I think So it probably actually isn't worth hanging around for a better offer - which might not come in any case.
