   nrswnabee replied to desro1986's topic in New Nurse

7. concerns about the retrogression and remaining in the US with other visas

   nrswnabee replied to nrswnabee's topic in International

   my main concern actually (for those in the u.s. already obviously) is how to keep a legal status given that immigration petition require many steps and moves at a slower pace than non-immigrant visa holders' timeline.

8. retrogression concerns

   nrswnabee posted a topic in International

   -------- i didn't say current... never did. i said it will MOVE though in an ever so slow pace. it would be wise not to put one's HOPE on getting a sponsorship anytime in the nearest future. the point i was just putting across is THINK how you can st...

    1. no it has not stopped. it is currently suspended inview of more applicants versus the number of visas allocated. 2. us immigration policy has always been quite volatile. we have to keep track of what's happening with uscis-- visa bulletin and ann...

14. Are there bridges LPN to RN for F-1 students in the US.

    nrswnabee replied to vovo1978's topic in International

    better take a bsn program. it may be more expensive but it is going to be worth your money in the long run. as an rn-bsn, you have better chances to climb up the ladder in your career and have more options toward immigration.

15. importance of grades

    nrswnabee replied to mia_maria's topic in International

    i'd say grades are important BUT not as much as your perseverance. your grades may give a clue of how you performed in school but hey, people change. we make mistakes, we learn. life gives you a lot of opportunities to do better. just keep on going.
