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

This thread was originally compiled by @_Oyinkansolar and together we did the Editing
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!🥂

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.

My little Jacob Wohl story: August 2016, we're sitting around the trading turrets at my office on a bored to tears slow day. Our receptionist said someone was here for his 2pm appointment. None of us had an appointment on schedule. Who is it? we ask? Some guy named Jacob Wohl 1/

Jacob Wohl, for those out of loop, gained quite a bit of notoriety for becoming the youngest guy to ever get himself barred for life from the financial industry. Now he's waiting in our lobby to pitch something. We're a large merchant bank. 2/

Send him in, we said. In walks young Jacob asking to be seeded with $25mm to start a new hedge fund in exchange for an ownership stake in it. Oh, & he needs an office. And a Bloomberg station. And needs to borrow staff until he can hire some guys. And he needs a leased car... 3/

And he needs an answer today. Right now. Because there's a competing offer from Izzy Englander's firm Millenium (we know those guys well). We fight the urge to literally start laughing, but do ask him...hey, you the same guy who got banned by regulators? He didn't even flinch 4/

He went on about that being untrue & handed over a letter he said was from his lawyer who had confirmed he was not barred, had been vindicated but it 'just wasn't in the system yet at the SEC, CFTC'...whatever that means. 5/

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

Thread: Rush Limbaugh and the conservative Id

On the day of his passing, it's worth doing a brief retrospective on how Rush Limbaugh's personal life almost perfectly paralleled American conservatism...

One thing that's not commonly known about Rush Limbaugh is that he began his career in sports, doing sales for the Kansas City Royals baseball team. That's significant because much of the tribalism and dumbed-down rhetoric in American TV news directly came from sports media.

Television journalism in its earliest days was a fantastic product with real investigative reporting, no filibustering live interviews, and no soundbites. This began changing in the 1970s when ABC Sports president Roone Arledge was put in charge of ABC News.

Limbaugh tried to be a conventional FM deejay but kept getting fired because his personality was too abrasive. After working with the Royals, he began a small political talk show for a Sacremento station. The Reagan repeal of the Fairness Doctrine made his show possible.

Rush Limbaugh's Sacramento show started in 1984 (he replaced Morton Downey Jr) and after 5 years, he was picked up by ABC Radio which was trying to copy some of the sensationalism that ABC News television had started. It was a perfect fit.

Did you realize there is a movement to normalize anti-white hatred? It works with white guilt and psych-op to dehumanize white people. They are working to dehumanize "whiteness". Do not make the mistake of thinking this is an isolated incident because it has been going on for ...

some time. I have collected nearly 100 articles in the last few yrs.
Today there was a whistleblower from Coca Cola, who revealed classes they were to take to learn how to "try to be less white". The classes are provided by Linked In on Linked In.


Many large companies are not only doing diversity training, but "What It Means to be White" seminars. Inside our government seminars are available. Recently we learned the Defense Secretary said he is going to root out extremism,

which we know means white supremacists aka Trump supporters. I do not think he was talking about the Muslim Brotherhood, as he has been fine with them.

1/ Throughout my startup career, I’ve seen many founders have an aversion to sales. This is a mistake that can kill your startup.

2/ Sales is often viewed as either a saving grace or proof that the product isn’t good enough (because it should sell itself). Neither are ever true. Some common mistakes that result in...

3/ Mistake 1: Hire a sales rep before reaching product/market fit to get your initial batch of customers. This is a mistake because founders need to work through their MVP with early adopters to truly understand what it is they’re selling.

4/ Mistake 2: Reach product/market fit, need to scale, and rely entirely on self-serve. For enterprise products that require big commitments and internal shifts, almost no product is self-explanatory enough to sell itself.

5/ Mistake 3: Make a first sales hire who isn’t scrappy enough to help mold the sales process from scratch. Some salespeople are amazing at their jobs, but not cut out to establish the processes that others end up following. This skillset is what @rdedatta calls a “sales ninja”.

This post is pretty bizarre, but it manages to hit on so many false beliefs that I've seen hurt junior data scientists that it deserves some explicit

(1) The notion that R is well-suited to "building web applications" seems totally out of left field. I don't feel like most R loyalists think this is a good idea, but it's worth calling out that no normal company will be glad you wrote your entire web app in R.

(2) It is true that Python had some issues historically with the 2-to-3 transition, but it's not such a big deal these days. On the flip side, I have found interesting R code that doesn't run in modern R interpreters because of changes in core operations (e.g. assignment syntax).

(3) "Most of the time we only need a latest, working interpreter with the latest packages to run the code" -- this is where things get real and reveal some things that hurt data scientists. If this sentence is true, it's likely because you don't share code with coworkers.

(3) Really is a broader issue in data science: people only think of what they need to do their work if no one else existed and code was never maintained. Junior data scientists almost always operate on projects they start from scratch and don't have to maintain for long.

So it's now October 10, 2018 and....Rod Rosenstein is STILL not fired.

He's STILL in charge of the Mueller investigation.

He's STILL refusing to hand over the McCabe memos.

He's STILL holding up the declassification of the #SpyGate documents & their release to the public.

I love a good cover story.......

The guy had a face-to-face with El Grande Trumpo himself on Air Force One just 2 days ago. Inside just about the most secure SCIF in the world.

And Trump came out of AF1 and gave ol' Rod a big thumbs up!

And so we're right back to 'that dirty rat Rosenstein!' 2 days later.

At this point it's clear some members of Congress are either in on this and helping the cover story or they haven't got a clue and are out in the cold.

Note the conflicting stories about 'Rosenstein cancelled meeting with Congress on Oct 11!"

First, rumors surfaced of a scheduled meeting on Oct. 11 between Rosenstein & members of Congress, and Rosenstein just cancelled it.

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d


Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.


...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.


Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.

Ever notice how the top niches are centered around health, wealth, and relationships?

There's a deep-rooted psychological (and biological) reason why.

And today, I'm gonna to explain all of it so you can start profiting off of this knowledge 💰💰

*Now, this thread is going to be long and in depth. Make sure to favorite the top tweet now so you can come back to it later.

So. Down to the very core of every living being (humans, dolphins, bacteria, aliens), there are only two drivers:
1. To survive
2. To reproduce

Right off the bat, we know that sex is a primary driver to human behavior.

This would also mean that each gender has its own insecurities regarding sex.

Men have a subconscious fear that their woman will leave them for someone more successful

Women have a fear that their man will leave them for someone younger & better-looking

We can conclude that men are attracted to looks, and women are attracted to status.

This is human nature down to its very core.

Crazy, blue-haired feminists will try to argue and say otherwise.

But, 50 years of feminism DOES NOT OVERRIDE millions of years of evolutionary biology.

Here's a quick visualization exercise so you can see how true all this is...
