   griffon replied to tomcam's topic in International

   Hi tomcam, Congrats on passing nursing school. Now it's time to consolidate the last few years of tears, frustration and sacrificing sleep, for one last push to passing the NLE. I think you first have to decide what type of learning best describes yo...

2. barely passing NLE... how important is it??

   griffon replied to arjay_gimikero's topic in International

   Ranking the applicants through their board ratings is just one tool the managers use to help thin out the list. They do they same thing in the US. I was asked to supply my transcripts, since the NCLEX doesn't have a board ratings, with my application...

3. Who wants to work in USA

   griffon replied to adrienne_mandi's topic in International

   It's great that your agency has this program. I would really look into the fine print and make sure you are not charged a huge cancellation fee if you, the hiring company, the US govt, or the agency could not place you. Don't get me wrong, I'm all f...

   first point: i'm afraid you might not have a full grasp of how bonds function. the u.s. puts out bonds for individuals/corporations/countries to buy to keep the economy churning - to say the least. if let's say china buys those bonds from the u.s. th...

10. the american dream: do not lose hope

    griffon replied to rookie_rn's topic in Philippines

    This looks like a simple problem of supply and demand. Only a few areas are saturated with too many nurses. Ex. Northern CA and north eastern part of the states. So there is a clear demand for more RNs. The problem is there are not enough teache...

    griffon replied to gmh_usa's topic in International

    Victimized? You make it sound like people intentionally mislead others into applying with a list of "wrong" requirements. I don't think that was anyone's motive. This is a forum to exchange ideas and information. People talk about what they experienc...

15. How About Us?

    griffon replied to male_nurse22's topic in International
