There is not really much you can do in the last min. Hopefully you have used the practice exam to learn how they ask the questions - these tests are much more about learning what the tester wants than actually knowing about social work. DA

Reciprocity agreements vary from state to state. The state where you are requesting the nursing license will determine what the reciprocity requirements are. Therefore, in order to find out how to obtain a New York RN license, with an already existing California license, you need to contact the New York State Board of Nursing. http://www.op.nysed.gov/nurse.htm When you apply for a professional license in another state, you have to meet that new states requirements. Sometimes its as simple as filling out a form and verifying that you in fact do have a license with your current state. Some states require that you take classes, or having specialized training. (I think that NY requires a child abuse prevention class.) While others may require you to re-take the nursing boards all over again. To find out what the requirements are, you need to contact the individual state. To make matters more complicated, a state (such as NY) may accept a California license, but may not accept a license in another state (let's say Alabama for example). A lot depends on score you received on the NCLEX exam, as different states have different requirements. With the shortage of nurses across the country though, the reciprocity agreements have been severaly relaxed. Usually, if you can verify that you have an active license, they will usually grant you a temporary permit while you are completing the paperwork or additional courses. But, for the specifics you need to contact the individual state. When you apply for a nursing license in NY you are not giving up your California license, as you can have both. At one time I held as many as four different state licenses. But, the hard part is in keeping all of those licenses active. Contact the New York State Board of Nursing, and look for their reciprocity requirements. GOOD LUCK!

How does living in New York affect your day to day life

How does living in New York affect your day to day life?
New York is a hectic place. People in New York work long hours, live near many different types of people, and don't usually live near nature, or in quiet, calm places. I'd like to hear from people in New York and out of New York about their experiences in New York. Do you find that people in New York tend to be less emotionally healthy or well-adjusted? Does living in New York affect people in negative ways, or is it just a culture like any other culture that people can either adjust to or dislike?

There's a lot of craziness. The lack of privacy and quiet is tough... if you travel up north for a good hour and a half though, you can get away from it all. There's no place like New York though. There's a little bit of everything there. It's just a matter of balance.

Right now I'm living in NYC, but I grew up about an hour north of here. In the city there is less privacy- there are crowds everywhere, it's kind of lonely even though you're surrounded by so many people, people are in their own world- some may consider this rude but that's just the way new yorkers are. However, I would say new yorkers are very well adjusted. They see so much on a daily basis and are exposed to so many different types of people, cultures, arts, and opinions. You really grow up fast here. You just have to be sure that you know how to manage your stress level because it is very fast paced. If someone were to just move here coming from an entirely different environment then yes it would take a while to get used to. Oh, and it's very expensive. But overall, an amazing city by far.

I agree with the response about coming from a different environment it is hard to cope with. Im originally from California and just moved here 2 weeks ago. When I first moved here it was CRAZY. People drive crazy, walk fast and always on a mission, food is expensive and the little things you need (like hangers) are a mission to find, you hear noises throughout the night, and pretty much walk everywhere you need to go. But its also a beautiful city. So much to do, you would rather be anywhere then at home watching TV. And its fascinating because everyplace delivers practically and you are always seeing new places and things you didn't even know existed. I'm still getting used to it, but overall love it and hope to stay here. You do have to adjust to the lifestyle, but once you do it's worth it. Guess that's why people work such long hours and so much because they love the city they live in. I think the people here *may* be lacking on a little bit of sleep (or maybe that's just me since ive moved lol) but if anything they seem more healthy because of all the activity they do on a daily basis. I do think that this city isn't for everyone. If you don't love people (or at least craziness) or the city life, you would probably never adjust and dislike it. But its crazy, it's like each day is a new adventure.

Just get a fake ID like the 20 million employed illegals in this country.

Go to Immigration and ask them!! But, if you don't want to do that, there's nothing stopping you from staying at a hotel! As far as working is concerned, do it legally, or you could be deported and not allowed to return!

You and 1,500,000 others want the same thing, but it's not impossible. It helps if you're gorgeous and charming. And if you know someone it helps. The job is not so hard to find, but accomodation in NYC is the hard part. If you know someone you can stay with, you're halfway there, but that's not so easy in NYC because apartments are small and space is tight.

Aliens in the U.S. as visitors are prohibited from working. Your visa was issued to you so that you could have a vacation in the U.S, not to be employed in the U.S. At the time of your visa application, you were carefully screened and questioned about any intention you may have had about working in the U.S. If you had revealed that you wanted to work in the U.S., the visa never would have been issued. When it was issued, you were informed that you cannot work in the U.S. As a well educated woman, you are well aware of the restrictions on visitor visas. You are not eligible for any work permit as a visitor.
