Of the hospitals that have H1C authority - all of them - will be in a "bad" area. So really it boils down to how much risk you are willing to take. But consider the alternative - which is waiting it out in the Philippines.

Anyway, I know of a lady who recruits for an H1C hospital but she requires one year hospital experience. You have any RN experience? If you don't, start right now.

I wish to be of help. But I want my email to remain private. Also, you can imagine the mental state I am in right now (Wangbu is my User name) as I am leaving on Tuesday. So I just wanted to drop a line to give you some encouragement.

I wish you well. By the way, I was able to log in only after 6 tries!

Best wishes,
Wangbu

Safety should be your primary concern and please stay safe.
But be aware that not all of the hospitals that are on that list are even hiring any longer. And you also need to be aware that the H1-C visa is due to expire in 2010, and if it does, then you will have to leave the US.

We just like to make sure that everyone is very aware of their situation when they come here and do not expect things to be different that they are.

Best of luck to you.

And one must also be aware that the recruiter that was mentioned before is not an employee of the facility there in Chicago, but only markets nurse to them, nothing more than that. And she is not the one that does the hiring and ther are only a total of 500 H1-C visas for the entire US and that is not per year. That is the total at any one time so there are not alot of visas available as well.

Does not matter what a recruiter tells you, just the facts.

I am going to go ahead and close this thread since there is nothing new to be added to it.

Going for the H1-C and you are doing it at your own risk.
