Finally, here’s the *EASY* Steps to becoming a United States Registered Nurse🇺🇸

It’s a long thread, but that’s because I tried to make it nice and easy for you, so bookmark for reference.

Retweet and Tag as many Nurses as you know who might be interested.

#USRN 🇺🇸

 STEP 1 ; You have to be a Registered Nurse with valid practicing license and at least 1year post-qualification experience in a at least 100 bedded hospital/institution, worked in the particular ward Or department for a minimum of 3months!& possess a valid international Passport!
For IELTS & immigration purposes, you’re taking, the ACADEMIC IELTS wt 6.5 overall!& at least 7 in speaking

STEP 2
Then, Register with Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools,(CGFNS) for credentials evaluation of secondary education, nursing education & licensure
in order to take NCLEX. their website: https://t.co/f1uKfJMNI5
NB; have all your academic record with you to make it easier, as the form is a bit tedious. Once you’re done, proceed to paying for Credential Evaluation Service (CES) this is the report prepared by CGFNS, the evaluation fee is $350
Apply for your license verification from your country’s Nursing & midwifery council, which is
to be sent directly to CGFNS, If you’re also a UK registered nurse, you’ll in addition, apply for a Certificate of current professional status through your nmc online account,costs £34
STEP 3
Apply for your transcript (which is a record of your academic performance from your school of Nursing or University to be sent *directly to CGFNS, cost depends on your institution.
STEP 4
Now, pick a state in USA where you will like to work, and Register with their Board of Nursing (BON) ( simply google the Board you’re interested in, and create a portal to start your application) do this while you’re still waiting on your CGFNS report
Below is the list of States that are ideal for International Nurses.

•Texas
•New York
•Illinois
•West Virginia
•Montana
•Colorado

Some of these states also have what they now call a *compact license*, this means you can practice in another state
asides the one you’ve applied to, you normally would only be allowed to practice in the states you registered with.

NB; If you chose Texas, you’ll be required to sit the Nursing Jurisprudence exam(NJE) (50 questions, 2hours, 75% pass mark)
$58
this exam is about the laws and ethics that guides the nursing profession in the USA and in the state of TEXAS. (Don’t worry too much about it, during the exam, you can access a link that directs you to a material that has answers to the questions asked😉)
STEP 5
Next, is the Criminal Background Check; this is the part where you have your fingerprints taken on a card ( which you can request from your BON, free, takes 4 weeks to be delivered) it’s then sent back for security checks! Through a secure provider called “identoGO”
( they work with the FBI to run your fingerprints through their database to find out if you’ve ever been involved in a crime) if you’re in Nigeria, it might take a longer time before you get the card for the fingerprint, so you can buy it from 3rd parties who will charge you
for fast track* like Decency Academy (they’re on Telegram) (if you know any other trustworthy one, please suggest🙏🏻)

STEP 6
Register for your NCLEX with Pearson Vue via a direct link provided on your Nursing Board portal and wait for your Authorization to test (ATT) fee is $200
if you’re writing outside the US, you’ll have to pay an extra $150 ( so $350) total

STEP 7
Once you get your Authorization To Test(ATT), you can choose a date & schedule 4 ur exam via Pearson Vue website. You can sit the exam in London, Philippines & most recently South Africa
So you apply for the country’s visa via their immigration, depending on your exam location choice, you will also need to book hotel, flight, etc...

This is also the part where you spend the most!
STEP 8
Once you pass your NCLEX, (Congratulations! You’re now a USRN! Start the job search! reach out to US nursing jobs recruitment agencies to start your visa application process ( Visa type, EB-3 visa) and job search.
They all come with different packages.
Popular agencies :-

Avant
PassportUSA
O’gradypeyton
Shearwater
Medpro International

NB;you can reach out to ths agencies at the initial stage of your registration, if you don’t have the financial capability,
it might just slow down your process a bit... The whole process takes about 12-18months, “all things being equal”

STEP last...
When una reach USA, send me some $ as owo omo onile. Thainchu

When Compared to the UK registered Nurse pathway, UK is quite easier and cheaper! But keep your eye on the price!

Feel free to drop your questions in the comment section, dm is also open but I might not respond until later.

All the best dearies!

Cheers!🥂

Tomorrow, January 6th, MAGA chuds, Proud Boys, and white supremacists are planned to descend on Washington D.C. to contest the election. Among them will be NSC-131, a New England based neo-Nazi organization. Let's welcome them by saying hi to one of their members, Eddie Stuart!


Edward Stuart, from Chester, New Hampshire, has been a member of Nationalist Social Club (NSC) since the very beginning and is a staple participant in their actions. He is known in NSC chats as "Carl Jung" and is well connected in the New England Nazi scene.
2/


NSC-131 is a neo-Nazi group that was started in Massachusetts in early 2020 by Chris Hood. You can learn more about NSC and it's members in these threads:


Eddie describes his ideology as "Esoteric Hitlerism" which is an occult form of Nazism that literally worships Adolf Hitler as a god, or, specifically, as an incarnation of the Hindu God Vishnu. Here is Ed holding the RigVeda with some of his occult Nazi pals. Interesting Ed!
4/


Much of this ideological insight was gained from Eddie's Twitter, where he originally used his "Carl Jung" persona and reposts explicit neo-fascist content and racist memes. In one edited picture, Eddie can be seen at an NSC event in late June 2020 holding a Nazi Sonnenrad flag

Offered a guy a ride from Yaba to Obalende this morning. Just as we're approaching Alagomeji, uncle asked me if he can drive. Said he's not comfortable being driven by a woman. I parked and told him to come and take the wheel. Once he got down, I just zoomed off. Arrant nonsense

Funny thing is the guy is quite young. He can't be more than 25. How can someone that young have this sort of mentality?

I actually did not think that the guy could have wanted to get away with my car at the time. Now that I think of it though, that's a big possibility. We need to be careful out there. These thieves now have different ways of operating

1. I was walking in the woods yesterday and I had an epiphany. It wasn’t one I wanted to have. I was thinking about today’s class, where we are reading Kimmerer’s ‘Gathering Moss’. I’ve taught Braiding Sweetgrass in multiple classes every year since 2016. It’s eminently teachable

2. Both books are beautifully written. Students uniformly enjoy them as assigned reading. They do a great job communicating to non-Indigenous folks the contours of basic Indigenous relationships to more-than-human beings. They’re wildly popular with white readers.

3. I’ve found Braiding Sweetgrass to be a great entry point for non-Indigenous folks to Indigenous scholarship. But this is where yesterday’s epiphany comes in. Neither Braiding Sweetgrass or Gathering Moss tends to the deep deep lineages of Indigenous scholarship in Canada or US

4. As the popularity of ‘Braiding Sweetgrass’ has soared, I’ve seen more and more white folks wax on about ‘braiding knowledge’. But they often don’t know any of the lineages of these concepts beyond what is presented in this one book. They confidently run with this.

5. Kimmerer does a commendable job of weaving in her own experiences, her family stories+nods to some very important knowledge keepers who deserve to be celebrated for their work. But Braiding Sweetgrass does not tend to the citational politics Sara Ahmed & others teach us about

Faith Without Works is Dead!

Jam2:17 NLT - “So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.”

There is a growing message and doctrine in the church that seems to discountenance works and suggests that the only thing we need ...

... as Christians is just to ‘believe’ in Christ and that lack of good works does not affect one’s faith in Christ. My brother and sister, this is big lie from the pit of hell. It doesn’t matter who is saying it or how big their ministry is, it goes against the scriptures ...

... and is against the Truth.
Our opening scripture tells us that it is not enough to simply believe in Jesus; there must be accompanying works to prove it. In fact, Jam2:19 says even demons believe that there is one God and His only begotten Son is Jesus.

However, they don’t obey Him or submit to His will. In order words, submission to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and the total will of God is the proof of faith. Jesus said “not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will ...

... of My Father in heaven.”(Matt7:21) and “for whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.” (Matt12:50).

Rom3:28 NIV - “For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.”

#3/thread on Angkor wat

Christianity and islam may be the largest religion of today’s world but Sanatan dharm has the largest religious monument in the world in the form of Angkor wat. It is situated in combodia and spread across over 400 acres / 1.6 km².


It was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992, which encouraged an international effort to save the complex.
It was originally built as a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Vishnu. In Khmer, the Cambodian language, Angkor means "city" and Wat means "temple grounds".


So Angkor Wat means "Temple City". Its original name was Vrah Vishnuloka or Parama Vishnuloka, meaning the sacred dwelling of Vishnu in Sanskrit.
But, it gradually turned into a Buddhist temple towards the end of the 12th century & is still used for worship today.


Angkor Wat was initially designed and constructed in the first half of the 12th century, during the reign of Suryavarman II, as the king’s state temple and capital city. It was built without the aid of any machinery, as there was no machinery available at that time.


Evidence for these dates comes in part from inscriptions, which are vague, but also from the architectural design and artistic style of the temple and its associated sculptures.

Another aspect is that the five central towers of Angkor Wat symbolize the peaks of Mount Meru,

A story of a brave woman who let her "breast" cut to protect the life of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose!

3/21
spread across the country but Calcutta was the center of his business and that was one of the reasons why her education was done in Calcutta. During that period of time, she had learned quite a few languages along with Bengali, Hindi, English.

4/21
Her father got her married to a CID Inspector "Shrikant Jairanjan Das" in British India but they were two different individuals, Neera Arya was a true nationalist but her husband was a true British servant. She was highly motivated & she had an urge of getting us freedom..

(THREAD) The Whitaker scandal is deepening, as it becomes clear that Sessions' Russia recusal was a coordinated sham and his firing an act of obstruction—and that his replacement is a White House plant inside the Mueller probe. I hope you'll retweet and read on for more details.


1/ From 2014-17 Whitaker worked for World Patent Marketing—which during his tenure defrauded consumers out of $26 million and was successfully prosecuted by the feds. His involvement in the scam confirmed he had loose morals and that the feds would never want to employ him again.

2/ Despite the seeming impossibility of a man with Whitaker's background getting a job at Justice ever again—he'd been found to have used his former title as a US attorney to fraudulently threaten consumers with valid complaints with criminal penalties—Whitaker found an opening.

3/ Within 60 days of parachuting out of World Patent Marketing as it was being fined $26 million by the feds, Whitaker was working for CNN and telling a fellow attorney panelist that his purpose in working for CNN was to get noticed by one man—Donald Trump—and thereby get a job.

4/ Whitaker spent his time at CNN making ludicrous statements about the Mueller probe: there was no obstruction or collusion, he said; Mueller had no authority to look into any aspect of Trump's finances or to subpoena him, he said. All the while, he hoped Trump was watching him.

1/ Something strange is happening with people’s sex lives. 20-somethings are having sex later and less frequently than previous generations. I spent several months digging into this for @theatlantic. https://t.co/5ehzmWY9wi


2/ This phenomenon—I’m calling it a Sex Recession—really surprised me. It seemed improbable in the age of Tinder, digital porn, and attitudes that are generally permissive and sex-positive.

3/ What’s happening isn’t exclusively American: Similar trends are being observed in other countries, including Japan, Australia, the U.K., Finland, and the Netherlands.


4/ One cause is obvious: Adults under 35 are less likely to be living with a partner than in recent decades, and more likely to be living with their parents—which, it’s safe to say, isn’t great for one’s sex life.

5/ But I also found other explanations, each with profound implications. The first, unsurprisingly, has to do with internet enticements. Netflix and other online entertainment may be substituting for sex.
