Help


Hi,
I'll be getting my work permit in a month. I was looking for a job as RN in the bay area but recruiters are asking for US experience which I dont have. I heard that people who have employee referrals get job easily. Can anybody in the bay area help me?
Thanks.

Default Re: Help
What type of work permit will you be getting? What type of experience do you actually have? If no experience, then you will be considered a new grad, and the next new grad programs do not start until February. Most facilities in the Bay Area that take new grads have starting times only a couple of times per year. Next group is in October, and you are too late for that start date, they have already been hired.

Having someone refer you does not get you a job any faster. There are specific requirements that you must meet.

Do you in fact have any experience as an RN? And for how long? And from where?

Since you are speaking of a work permit, it means that you are a foreign nurse, so will move this to the International Forum where it is more appropriate.
