What unit are you going to work on? What is your clinical experience like?I am going to work in UCLA.i know it is expensive. but i can not see it being more expensive than london. my contract is 2yrs ,so maybe after 2yrs i might venture out to a different state.
Thanks caramel
i MA FOREIGN trained RN, and I would like to hear some good news from you.
Take care. Anna - Mar 1, '05 by marclewisHi
I am writing to you from a TV production company called Ricochet. We are currently producing the fifth series of No Going Back and I am looking for people who are selling up in the UK and moving abroad to start a new business venture. I would love to hear from anyone who is doing something along these lines. Please contact me on nogoingback@ricochet.co.uk -
Mar 1, '05 by cariadmyself and my workmates are all here with OGRADY PEYTON, and the majority of us are happy with the agency, they take care of all the paperwork, pay for all the exams and study days to help with passing the n-clex. they pay for all flights to take the exam in america, and for me to relocate. the nurses are from the uk, barbados, poland, south africa, antigua, jamaica and st lucia. we get paid well even although the agency obviously charges the hospital more for us than we get. thats the name of the game, we also get overtime at time and a half.
as a matter of interest to the nurses who are going by themselves....how much are the hospitals paying you? I know it depends on the area that you go to, but the hospital employed nurses where we are get less than the travel nurses.
we sold everything before we came here, our home and business, cars and house contents. we arrived here with 2 suitcases each to begin again.
7 months later we are surviving ....and doing very nicely.
ps..whats your weather like? 84 degrees here today...just been out for dinner at a beach bar, watching the beautiful sunset. - Asst. Admin
