You are indeed correct, a full custody order is not the same thing which is why I did not mention it. Confusion reigns all on its own without any help from me.

It is generally easier and must less costly than court proceedings which can and often are contested without any guarantee as the desired outcome.

Which matters to you but not to the USA immigration service. You need permission or a court order approving the immigration.

I do not know if you consider yourself "Brutish" but there appears to a website that may have some useful information for you ( or not I know nothing about nursing) http://www.brutish-nursing.com/wk_us.html

Ok I think I will speak to the family solicitor about this. Because there are important reasons he should not be contacted so maybe through the courts will be the way to go! Thank you x

Talking to your solicitor to get the court order done is probably the best way to do it. Do not try to emigrate without it, though it sounds like you have plenty of precedent going your way already for a court to rule in your favor.

You do not need to sit the CGFNS exam, these days only approx 4 states require this and Texas is not one of them. Suggest you check out the world section, especially Nurse Registration as well as the NCLEX forum in the student section of allnurses.com where a lot has already been written on registration as well as studying for the exam

Thank you for this. I was aware that I had to take the States exam which I presume is NCLEX computerised I think (might be wrong). Will have a look at that forum. Thank you again all advice greatly appreciated

Being qualified for one year shouldn't make a difference. Whether you can take the NCLEX will depend entirely what your uni transcripts show.

I teach in a pre-licensure RN program. Our OB/peds course is combined, and is 9 credit hours. This amounts to 144 hrs didactic, and 144 clinical education. Our Psych nursing course is 4 credit hours and consists of 72 hours instruction and an additional 72 hours clinical. Each state will have their own requirements, but I think these hours are pretty typical.

Your Bachelors degree will help once you have passed the NCLEX. Many hospitals have, or are pursuing ANCC Magnet status, and will only hire Bachelors prepared nurses.

I have heard because nursing training has changed quite a bit and we are now a little more inter professional and collaborative trained this can help. My concern is that during my training I only had sample placements in mental health, midwifery, health visitors and peads on one week placements as I am an adult nurse!! Although I worked with these during modules at university. Thank you for your advice

I think you have a valid concern. You won't know for sure though until you get your transcripts evaluated. At least then you will know where you stand, and what you will need to do. Good luck!

Check out this link to the TX BON. Scroll down to International Candidates. This will tell you how to proceed and gives you the TX BON approved vendors for transcript evaluation. It does look like you will need 2 yrs post grad experience (or take an additional course).

The daughter will be over 18 by the time they could move so none of this matters.
