  1. The question was in the title of the thread : Can Foreign Nurses get Government Jobs with a Permanent Resident Status? The body of the post was there to give more of a background but the main question was in the title. Thoughts?
  2. I'm a Filipina Nurse licensed in this state. I'm happily married to a wonderful husband. Recently, I applied for a Government Nursing Home Job that said "US Citizens" and "Status Candidates" can apply for the position. Being that I currently work a...
  3. Talked with a Director of Nursing today and she said that because physicians will be impacted negatively that Nurse Practitioners will be negatively impacted because [essentially] they play very similar roles. Now that I'm thinking about it....Family...
  4. So, under ACA, how do you think the role of the CRNA will change? And the FNP? Obviously, I've given my opinion....but I'm not saying I'm right. Would love to hear yours.
  5. Any other thoughts out there?

  10. P.S. I'm also wondering...maybe its wise that (if I take the job in Arizona) to take a part-time job at the VA Hospital right next door to where I would be working at. The following are the benefits I see in getting a Part Time job at the VA Hospital...
  11. Haha...not compared to ours. A little research and you can figure out what state I'm in
  12. So...long term is better to work for a VA Hospital in Arizona or VA Home? Or does it really matter as they are all run under the same umbrella? I thought the VA Home and the VA Hospital were all under the State...correct ? Just wanted to make sure :*...
  13. Any Arizona Nursing Agencies Offer Housing Vouchers?

    Actually housing vouchers for rent. For example, a friend of mine on Indian Reservation said they offer discounted housing as part of their compensation package. Knowing that this type of nursing benefit just doesn't come from just "ICU or OR" jobs.....
  14. Everyone has good intentions here so no worries. I did have a question though.... Does state run VA's have a graduated pay increase? For example...here in the Midwest....we get 3% increases on our gross pay every year and it caps out around $7k pe...
  15. Thanks for responding....actually I would love to shoot you a PM but I'm new here and they won't allow me to. Let me know if you have any other thoughts....
