agencies can't find placement spots for me in new york!!!

suzanne4, RN · Mar 24, 2006

There are plenty of places there, but the number goes down when you need a petition done for you. And also depends on who the agency has contracts with.

If you did your training in NY, you can also look at NJ and CT. You would have a much better chance with those actually, as they require the CGFNS if you trained out of the US. Many do not want to go that route.

hey, what agency are you connected with? i presume youre a foreign nurse and did your agency filed for any change of status for you? you know, its takes a little patience to wait for them to find you job placements, actually for me, it was 5 months after i passed the nclex that i was able to receive the change of status. lukily for me i received my att about 2-3 weeks after i got here so i was able to schedule my test as early as i can.
