NCLEX Centre in Istanbul Turkey and How to Apply for Visa to Write NCLEX Exam in Turkey
A new NCLEX test center is now open in Istanbul, Turkey which presents another opportunity for nurses to write their NCLEX Exam rather than waiting for Philippines to open. I have detailed here Turkey visit visa requirements specifically for Nigerian nurses going to write NCLEX and how to apply. Note that this guide is based on my discussion with a friend who is in the know and the Turkey visa application centre and not on my own personal experience. I have decided to share this on Nursesarena forum so it will reach wider audience.
