What to do now????Any suggestions pls

With the retrogression looming, what are we supposed to do now? Any helpful idea pls....

PLUS--Time frame is about 14 months to complete the immigration process. Most USRN licenses need to be renewed 2 years after issuance but we do not have SSN needed for renewal, so we will all be holding expired licenses by then. No big deal, you think?

Are nurses still in demand these days. I've been doing jobsearching for two weeks now and offers have always come from agencies who require hospital experience. And ithought I read from here that experience is not needed...

Anybody who knows of hospitals that do direct hiring of foreign trained nurses????

Thanks

thanks for your reply.

I just found a hospital in CA willing to petition foreign-educated nurses like me. My license is yet to be issued by Illinois BON having passed the nClex only recently. Would you know if it's possible to apply for endorsement this early? That hospital requires CA license for it to start considering my application.

With ou a SSN, Ca will not give a hard copy license.

Just complete everything that are necessary for immigration because by the time the retrogression is lifted then all you have to do is wait for your interview date. AS the Boy Scouts say, "Be Prepared."

Rep,

nursecpa did not took the NCLEX in CALIFORNIA, she took it from ILLINOIS
and then plans to endorse it to CA upon receipt of her license from ILLINOIS.


Many things to consider.

Have a nice day,
