2. wondering

   13th stranger posted a topic in International

   is it practical to keep on hoping, or should i accept that it is not my fate now? ever since i graduated 4 years ago, everything i did was for my overseas career fulfillment. of course, you all know what hindrances there are. so here i am, a USRN fin...

3. Sacrifices you made to pass the NLE or NCLEX

   13th stranger replied to armidevs's topic in International

   hmmm...sacrifices, sacrifices.. for my foreign exams, since i wasn't receiving much help from my parents financially, i had to save up for the finances myself. so yeah, my sacrifices include not going out during paydays, not going along with outings,...

4. General Weighted Average!

   13th stranger replied to alphakid's topic in International

   here's what i understand of it. GWA is your average grade when you graduated. Add up all your averages for each semester in college, then divide the total by the number of semesters you had. some hospitals are requiring it, because, (in my opinion) ,...

7. effect of the US economy

   13th stranger replied to 13th stranger's topic in International

   i see. the general consensus seems to be that attaining an immigrant visa would take around 5 years. would that be for those who start the filing now? what about those who started a year or two ago? thankies.

   13th stranger posted a topic in International

   i keep seeing on the news the downward trend of the US economy, or if i misinterpreted that, then the bankruptcy of some of America's largest investment banks/ insurance companies, etc..(Lehman Bros., AIG, etc) anyway, i would just like to know what ...

   hello! i'm curious if there is a licensure exam for working as a nurse in qatar? i tried searching, but the threads were quite old and i'm not sure if it's still the same today... much thanks.

10. switching to a working visa

    13th stranger replied to 13th stranger's topic in International

    ah okay..when you say "specialised" does it mean your hospital experience has to be in a special unit, like ER/ OR/ ICU/ etc? what do you mean "have a bachelor's"? i assume that is a bachelor's degree in nursing? all RNs here have bachelor degrees in...

11. switching to a working visa

    13th stranger replied to 13th stranger's topic in International

    i see....so in the event that i actually know someone who is in that position right now, let's say, a friend whose US hospital employer had already petitioned an immigrant visa for her, and in fact she's already for packet 3, but again, there's the r...

    hey everyone! there are some visa issues which confuse me and i would appreciate any clarifications. the US is in retrogression, so this affects the granting of immigrant visas, right? would it be possible to "switch" from an immigrant visa to a work...

    13th stranger replied to nurseko07's topic in International

    you are not alone! i don't know if it helps any, but i just want to let you know that i get a bit depressed, too. i tried applying at hospitals, but it was futile. where i live, the hospitals have resorted to hiring only their own graduates. those wh...

15. is it better to take the nclex in manila or in the US?

    13th stranger replied to Pinkberries's topic in International

    take the nclex here. so once you arrive in the US you can work as a nurse right away. i think it'll be much harder to pass it there because aside from the usual anxiety taking an exam has, you have to deal with adjusting to practically everything. (t...
