1. Visa Screen Certificate / CGFNS

   trix_ctrn replied to suzanne4's topic in Registration

   Even if you work in a state that requires CGFNS, you don't have to take CGFNS. You could take NCLEX from a state that doesn't require it and apply for reciprocity thru endorsement to that state.

   The apartment that they are mostly 2-bedroom. They also have 3 bedrooms and studio. Each bedroom has 2-occupants. They are all furnished. We don't have to pay for utilities, only if we want extra channels or internet. For the internet, we go to the h...

   I am still working in this hospital. And they still recruit nurses from the Philippines. The recruiter told me that.

    I'm not about sure about other foreign nurses, but they'd been hiring in the Philippines ( 5 years ago, and 15 years ago too) and now they're hiring again, I think. I don't know if they also go to different country to recruit, I'm only aware the rec...

    Now I realized that I am so lucky to work in a very good hospital, not only they're excellent, but also generous and supportive. I know business is business. Think about this, instead of giving sign-in bonus to nurses, they spend it for nurses' requi...

    i know this is true for sure because almost 100 nurses in our hospital came from the philippines thru this agency (12 of them work in the unit i'm working)...and didn't pay for anything. i know it's too good to be true ...and it is. there is also no ...

15. What is your nurse to pt ratio....and how many is too many?

    trix_ctrn replied to crb613's topic in Med-Surg

    our goal is 1:4 on a day shift. it happens sometimes. we're the only unit in our hospital that's fully staffed. considering there's nursing shortage, it'll be hard to meet this .
