   - a college friend of mine is studying in GCU. She said they go to the university once a month. oh, the cost!! What if you've got a placement that's far from Scotland (coz that's where GCU is)? You will incur big travel expenses.

   bouncing cheques?! OMG! :mad:You pay cash and they give cheque? that's so unprofessional! They should be reported. If you know a lawyer or someone in the police, you can seek advice from them. Perhaps, they can drop a call to ISA and shake things up ...

   - if you've loaned it (the 160K), and you are already paying for the interest, you need to think about it carefully again. - if the 160 K is from your own pocket, then I advise you to just withdraw your application. ISA will refund it, but it will ta...

   @ silverdragon - sorry I didn't specify. Yup, they're currently hiring OR (operating room) nurses and NICU nurses, who have at least 1 year experience in that field.

   easy for you to say.. I have been like that, hopeful and optimistic, before I went here in UK.. But once here, you'll realise that your investment is not worth it. Perhaps, its alright for those who don't have debts (I'm guessing that's your case) fo...

   Any ideas when the national registration will be implemented? I didn't apply for Australia last year since I still haven't got my license card (i just got it last December) and I don't want to be squeezed in the middle of the national registration, t...

   @ strwberry - im a recent grad as well (graduated March 2009, took the board exam on June 2009). I'm a registered nurse with zero post-registration experience. Although I didn't intend to be a nurse here in UK, I somewhat regretted my decision to stu...

   you can try out cozyguard's agency: Study Connect That's really the case with ISA, they don't pay the tuition fee in full amount. They pay it in installments, but rest assured that you won't have to pay anything to the university. That's what our mod...

    -well, ISA is not a scam. They can really deploy students and with visa processing, and find you a work placement. But most of their promises aren't really true. One thing, it's just break even (meaning, you earn just enough to pay your debts incurr...

    ISA deployed me after about a month. But as of now, I think it'll take longer. You see, there are lots of ISA students here in UK who don't have work, and some have been deployed here since last December.

    - Yup, you heard that right. 10 hour limit for below-degree level, so if you're on NVQ, then that rule applies to you. Good thing for you, you only paid 150,000. That's not much, considering that they're charging (currently) 600,000. You can ask for ...

    same here.. I was fuming mad when I found out that UH students cannot work at the NHS anymore, was considering withdrawing my application. But I didn't since I was on the process of applying for my visa. ISA really have a great tactic for catching an...

    @ nursrinuk - have you heard about "E-care"? My agency, ISA, said that Ecare is their partner for our work placement (they will be the one who will find us a work placement)

    @ nurseinuk - yup, the British Embassy speed up the process. I applied for my visa last Oct 16 and regrettably, it was denied since i only furnished a Certified True Copy of my BankBook (its a joint account so i cant leave the original at the embass)...
