USRN na gyud!!! Yahu!!!

It is every nurses dream to pass the Nurse Comprehensive Licensure Examination (NCLEX) given by the National Council of State Board of Nursing (NCSBN) of United States of America. It is a licensure examination for nurses who wants to practice the profession in their area. I first applied for registration in the State of Vermont and I had a few drawbacks made during the application that at some point it made me almost quit. But there has always been a solution to every (just a minor) hitches met along the way.

NCLEX Passing Letter
The stories were true after all. I received the notification after a month of my examination. It is a fact that the notice letter when received thin, you are sure that you pass your exam but otherwise (thick), even though you wont open the letter, you are sure of its bad news. Thick because accordingly it contains several forms explaining the reasons for your failure in each area and forms for reapplication. Good thing I received my thin notification letter from NCSBN. But it was not a surprise since I already knew the result thru quick result given online (although not official result) and I am on the list of Registered Nurse Professionals on the official website of the State of Vermont. 

State of Vermont License
But because my employer is situated in State of New York, I had my Vermont Nurse License endorsed to State of New York. It was a crucial endeavor as I had to comply with some additional requirements (the State of New York is much stricter in terms of your Credential Verification as they have a separate official evaluator from CGFNS) and of course, additional bucks to spend.

New York RN License
Good thing, after a year of follow ups, emails, and inquiry, I successfully received my New York License.
