1. Moving California. Insight on pay scale etc?

   aabbccdd replied to Nurse4lifeNC's topic in General Nursing

   If you get a decent offer, go for it. Los Angeles is an exciting place to live. Don't believe all the nay Sayers here and see for yourself. This forum, like pretty much any forum or social platform is a magnet for the angry, sad and worried, who look...

2. Sobriety and NCLEX?

   aabbccdd replied to gchooljian's topic in Recovery

   Remember your key nursing school lesson: " If it is not documented, it never happened...." Same here, if there is no documentation regarding your abuse, then it never happened. Shut up and stop creating proplems that don't exist.

3. Kicked out before even starting

   aabbccdd replied to Confused_nurse2b's topic in General Students

   Depends if the state in which she lives has a nurse title protection act. California does and you can't call yourself a nurse if you are not but some other states might not.

4. Nursing speciality for someone that hates people

   aabbccdd replied to Gogol's topic in Relations

   Go into research, you don't need 2 years of bedside experience, that is just a myth... I got into research right after I finished nursing school and most of my co-workers did not even have any nursing/medical experience. You need to be lucky to get i...

5. Realized floor nursing isn't for me, anything else i can do with a bsn?

   aabbccdd replied to enchantedlife's topic in General Students

   You could look into clinical research. Maybe start as a clinical research coordinator, they hire nurses, even with little or no bedside experience.

6. RN with ADN can have Green card???

   aabbccdd replied to Danielj0912's topic in Immigration

   You should be able to apply for F1-OPT after you finished your ADN. This gives you the opportunity to work for 1 year in nursing after you graduate. It is virtually impossible right now to get sponsorship and a working permit with a ADN only. You nee...

7. Job Hunt in the USA

   aabbccdd replied to fjmercado's topic in Immigration

   It's bad being a F1 student but it's worse not having a SSN. One way to get a SSN is to enroll into a college (e.g. community college) and after being enrolled for one academic year (2 semester = 9 months) you can apply for on-campus work. You need a...

8. Hospitals sponsoring RNs for a H1b visa - help!!!

   aabbccdd replied to BennyBear's topic in Immigration

   It is not advisable to go from F1 to greencard because of non-immigration intent status of F1. One of the the best ways is H1B to greencard. To get into H1B you have to find a niche. Either find a hospital that is not-for-profit or educational (H1B c...

9. F1 international student nurse problem

   aabbccdd replied to cocccocc1222's topic in Immigration

   I also was an international student and I graduated from an ADN program back in 2010. I applied for OPT and since I had no choice I grabbed whatever I could get. I found ALL of my jobs on Craigslist. I was a flu-shot nurse, I worked in Home Health f...

10. Unrealistic nursing students

    aabbccdd replied to dnsonthego's topic in General Nursing

    I find the comments of the original poster somewhat moralistic and righteous. People go into professions, such as nursing, for many reasons and there is nothing wrong to try to combine previous education or experience with your new profession. The co...

11. Taking nclex in CA as an international student.

    aabbccdd replied to intbsn's topic in Registration

    Try to get an ON CAMPUS student job. If you get one, administration will likely give you a letter so you can apply for a SSN. Everybody who works needs to have a SSN, even if it is just a student job. As an international student you qualify for an ON...

    aabbccdd replied to coolspirit9's topic in Registration

    Whatever education you acquired in the U.K. has also be evaluated as equivalent to a bachelor in the U.S. if you are trying to go the H1b route. If you don't have a formal bachelor education, then depending on how many years you worked as a RN in the...

    aabbccdd replied to aithril's topic in New Nurse

    this a difficult decision but it seems you are too readily considering only your fiances side of the story. if nursing is your passion and after you invested so much time to get there, why do you need to leave the country to readily support your part...

14. ASN vs. BSN pros/cons and POLL

    aabbccdd replied to keepaskingy's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You are not a nurse until you pass NCLEX and the sooner you have the chance to sit for NCLEX the better. Therefore, I would go for ADN, even if the market looks better for BSN in your area. Also, community colleges are much cheaper than universities....

15. I've Failed The NCLEX 8 Times & Now I'm about To Take It 1 More Time...

    aabbccdd replied to eutawville11's topic in NCLEX

    You need to analyze what went wrong the last 7 or 8 times you took this test. The test is challenging and tricky but after failing it that many times, I think you are not analyzing enough what went wrong the last times. I would think you are doing th...
