Accdg to my friend who is from San Francisco, he said that within the city, they're not hiring foreign nurses who don't have at least 1 year experience. And for top hospitals across US, as far as I know, they don't get foreign fresh grads nurses. But for what u asked about the salary and position, well I don't think it matters most whether ur american or not, it is ur performance anyway not the race or skin color. Hehhehe...

Re: Foreign nurses in states

it depends on your experience because America has a lot of competetive nurses especially in doing therapeutic communication. everybody here in the US is treated the same, it just depends on how good you are in caring for the patients and your NCLEX counts too off course

Re: Foreign nurses in states

Yup! I agree!

Re: Foreign nurses in states

pay really depends on your years of experience.i have more than 10 years experience in the philippines and i am on my fifth year here in the us.i am paid in accordance to 15 years experience.i work with some american graduate nurses and they get the starting pay.
