   Adrian32 replied to Adrian32's topic in New York

   I haven't logged on in a while and only just now did I see the backlash my question raised. I want to extend my most sincere, heartfelt apologies to everyone for its insensitive tone. I guess I just wasn't thinking when I posted it. I thought it w...

   Hi. I'd like to apply to CA BRN so I'm wondering what exactly their maternal and med surg requirements are? Thank you.

   I very much be open to that. Wherever I settle professionally, I'm pretty resolved to start anew and come out, or at least not keep myself in a tight closet at least. My paranoia is around family and if I'm far away it would probably be easier to jus...

   What's the typical job of a graduate nurse as opposed to a RN? CNA-type stuff?

   What does it mean to "challenge the exam?" And yes, I do intend to pursue graduate nursing someday. But I better get some work experience, first.

   You're right, lorirn2b. I plan to come out, just not now. I guess I'm not ready yet. But I completely agree it's hard to be genuinely free and happy if I feel like I always have to hide something.

   Adrian32 replied to Adrian32's topic in Career Support

   That would sound really promising in terms of landing my first job but then again the fact that it's not health-related may make it harder for me to get into healthcare as a nurse in the long-run? If it were long term then I'd probably forget my nurs...

    Adrian32 replied to Adrian32's topic in Career Support

    Yes it's really held me back a number of times. In high school when it was really bad I remember winning a scholarship but was too shy to go get it from some hospital that was awarding it to me because it meant I had to have lunch with some administr...

    Adrian32 replied to Adrian32's topic in Career Support

    I was thinking of doing that. I received CNA certification in California 6 years ago but never used it. I'm wondering if the process of getting myself recertified would require my taking CNA classes again? Or would the fact that I have a BSN degree h...

    I'm a new foreign graduate (with US citizenship) and am thinking about settling in NY to look for work. Presuming I actually overcome the hurdles foreign grads face in landing US nursing jobs, I'm just wondering what the typical patients are like in ...

    Does every state have its own NCLEX exam? If so, I guess I'd have to pick where to try to settle first. Thank you, swansonplace.

    Wow for some reason I was under the impression that NY didn't require CGFNS. But I'll look into it. Thank you juan de la cruz. :)

    In terms of concepts behind practice I think the parallel is there. The only thing I know I would have to catch up on is the equipment/technology. But yeah it seems like a uphill battle, sigh. I'm sorry, but what does "OP" mean? Thanks again for the...
