1. Hospitals that hire new grads?

   Ironclad replied to MerdalRN's topic in Massachusetts

   I have an advise to all new grads who can't find a job in MA. Don't waste your time! Go somewhere else! A lot of hospitals in other states offer relocation assistance. Go to new places, meet new people! But please, please, please, don't waste your t...

   Ironclad replied to ERICA57's topic in Massachusetts

   Do you really need a long orientation to learn how to wipe somebody's butt?

3. michigan eligibility

   Ironclad replied to oct41974's topic in International

   Don't go to Michigan. Very soon, only CG holders and US citizens will be eligible for driver's license in that state http://blogs.ilw.com/gregsiskind/2008/01/michigan-commit.html all other will have to walk or to ride a bicycle.

4. Advice - Graduating Aug 08 and relocating

   Ironclad replied to kjbsn2008's topic in Massachusetts

   I don't think it's realistic to get hired fast in your situation. I would suggest to take your board in FL and to get at least one year of experience there. Please, spend some time reading this forum. You will see that for some new grads in Mass it ...

5. February Visa Bulletin

   Ironclad replied to letina's topic in International

   Yes, it was posted in 2006 and nothing has changed since then! There is no information on the Web about mysterious Memo, that nobody, but moderators of this website aware of. You could not provide a link or the text of the Memo you are taking about s...

6. February Visa Bulletin

   Ironclad replied to letina's topic in International

   The 10 day job posting notice has nothing to do with the individual applicant. A hospital has to place it on the board for the position, not for the individual. At some hospitals such notice is posted all year round. I saw another memo which stated ...

7. February Visa Bulletin

   Ironclad replied to letina's topic in International

   I agree that they should require visascreen at the time I140/I-485 is filed. But so far it's OK to submit I-485 without it. The Immigration will issue the RFE later. Were did you get the information that it's required at the time of initial filing?

8. Green card APPROVED!!!

   Ironclad replied to nurseMargo's topic in International

   As Suzanne has explained to you already, there no visas for nurses available at this time. Regardless of were you came from. It may or may not change in 2008. So far your only option is to apply for OPT for one year. Then you need to go back to schoo...

   http://www.cgfns.org/sections/about/news/news/2006/08-11-06_vs.shtml Nothing changed since then, as far as I know. I could not find any information on the Web that it was changed either.

10. February Visa Bulletin

    Ironclad replied to letina's topic in International

    Actually, as far as I know, one can apply for adjustment of status without VisaScreen Certificate, but the Immigration will issue an RFE and will not approve the petition without it. Many July/August 2007 filers applied for AOS without Visascreen in ...

11. The MSN/EB2 situation

    Ironclad replied to klama78's topic in International

    I doubt that you will be able to get your opt after you get your bsn, since it's not just bsn, but bsn/msn program.

12. Countries affected by Retrogression

    Ironclad replied to RNKay31's topic in International

    The DS published the statistics about EB visas used in FY 2006. The Philippines alone used 20,289 "Schedule A" visas in FY 2006. That's more then 40% of the quota used by the single country! http://travel.state.gov/pdf/FY06AnnualReportTableVPart1-3...

13. Internation student from US, apply for OPT

    Ironclad replied to Palm517's topic in International

    No second OPT will be granted by USCIS, that's for sure. You have only 60 days after graduation to either leave the country or continue attending the school.

14. International Student: In Need Of Help And Advice, Please!

    Ironclad replied to !80s Love Child!'s topic in International

    New grads in many parts of the country have difficulty finding a first job, especially in big cities, California is not an exception. There is a shortage in those (mostly rural) areas where working conditions are bad and nurses are underpaid. Foreign...

15. Name the hospital and its Starting Salary!!!

    Ironclad replied to amadime1's topic in New York

    That's because in place like Manhattan it costs up to $1,000/month to rent a parking spot. NYC is so crowded and expensive... And you can not compare NY climate to CA climate either... I've heard that at some NY hospitals ratios are 1:7, 1:8. Is that...
