"I stopped sending money to Instagram agents. Pathway told me exactly what to do, week by week. I sat NCLEX in Lagos and got my first offer in Houston nine months later."
Key steps
- Filed CGFNS CES with Pathway document checklist
- Applied to Texas BON as licensure-by-exam state
- Booked NCLEX RN at the Lagos Pearson VUE centre
- Passed NCLEX on first attempt (8 weeks of structured prep)
- VisaScreen + EB-3 employer petition with sponsoring hospital
- Texas RN licence issued; first contract in Houston
How Pathway helped
- Pointed to Texas as a friendlier state for international nurses (no SSN needed for ATT)
- Replaced 3 confusing agent quotes with a single fixed checklist of real costs
- Built an 8-week NCLEX plan with weekly check-ins
- Reviewed CGFNS uploads before submission — caught a transcript naming mismatch
