What types of career opportunities does Enosh offer me? By registering with Enosh, you will have the opportunity to secure long-term employment engagements as registered nurses in United States healthcare facilities. Hundreds of nurses from around the world join our program to achieve the American dream. Your local Enosh branch will train you for required examinations and assist you with the licensing and the immigration process. How can I qualify for employment as a Registered Nurse in the United States? You must hold a current Nursing License in the country where you have citizenship or reside, a passport, a valid United States Nursing License, a Green Card and a contract of employment with the sponsoring U.S. healthcare provider. The entire process, as well as obtaining a Green Card can be quite complex. In addition, international nurses should remember that excellent English speaking, reading and writing skills are required. If you have already begun the process, Enosh will assist you with each step of the process that you have left to complete. How do I obtain a valid United States Nursing License? Enosh will provide you with the appropriate application and assist you in completing the application for a United States Nursing license. Once your application has been reviewed and your education is deemed comparable to United States education requirements for RN, you will then be required to take, and pass the National Council License Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). What is the NCLEX like and how soon after I arrive in the US must I take it? The NCLEX-RN examination is a computerized test, which takes approximately two to five hours and consists of a range of questions from 75 to 265. Enosh will only recruit and provide review materials to qualified nurses, who are willing to set aside time to study extensively prior to taking the test. Additionally, you will be pre-tested prior to traveling to the United States or its territories so that we can adequately evaluate your knowledge and readiness for the NCLEX. Will I be assisted in completing the immigrant visa forms and will I be counseled for the immigrant visa interview? Yes. Enosh's U.S. immigration attorneys who have specific expertise regarding this process will be assisting you to complete the immigrant visa forms. How long will the process take in order to obtain the immigrant visa interview? Approximately 1 year. After the interview is completed and the immigrant visa is granted when can I officially immigrate to the U.S.? Immediately. Will my spouse and child(ren) be able to immigrate with me at the same time? Yes, your spouse and child(ren) under the age of 21 will be able to accompany you. They would also need to complete immigration forms and be present at the interview for the immigrant. What is the Visa Screen certificate? Section 343 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 requires that all foreign nurses coming to the United States and pursuing immigrant visas (i.e. green cards) must apply and qualify for a VisaScreen certificate as part of the application process. It grants temporary authorization to the International Commission on Healthcare Professions (ICHP) to issue the VisaScreen certificates. It requires that applicants from countries other than Australia, Canada (except Quebec), Ireland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, fulfill an English language requirement. Specifically, to fulfill this requirement, all foreign nurses may take either the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), Test of Written English (TWE) and Test of Spoken English (TSE), administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS); or the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC), administered by the Chauncey Group, along with the TSE and TWE, administerd by ETS; or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), administered by Cambridge ESOL Examinations, the British Council and IDP Education Australia. What will Enosh provide for me and what am I responsible for? Enosh will provide city and housing information prior to your relocation to the U.S. Your accommodation expenses will be covered for one to three months (varies by contract). We provide you with all the information you will need to make your move to the U.S a success (i.e. maps, banking information, tax information, housing information, schools, social security forms, etc.). You must be prepared to bear some of the expenses associated with your relocating to the U.S. Normal daily living expenses, purchase of incidentals, housekeeping essentials and money for emergencies are all required and should be planned for. What if I have already begun the process? Many nurses around the world have already begun the process and find that they become mired in the complexity. Enosh will adapt the process to your specific requirements and assist with the remaining steps toward the final goal of employment as a nurse in the USA.
