Hello Letina..

hi there letina

i was wondering if it would be okay for me to pm you or to email you?? i saw that you had written this:

please......do not believe what this agency is telling you. i was a community nurse in the uk and was also told by a certain agency i didn't stand a chance of getting a job in the us unless i went back to an acute hospital job. i had been there, done that, years before, but they (the agency) said i would have to have more recent hospital experience. so i decided not to sign up with them and fast forward.....here i am working as a us rn.

in one of the forum members posts and well i had a few queries myself about finding work in the us that you may be able to answer as they are similar to what was being discussed in that post...

Hi stranger!!!

Hi!

I have been quiet haven't I? Had a lot of highs and lows so just been lurking for the most part. I'm coming up to my one year anniversary of being here on the 25th of this month, hard to believe it's been a year already! It's not been easy but finally beginning to feel settled. I'm doing well at work but it's the personal side of things that's been tough, missing family. But apart from that, life's pretty good here :wink2:

This is what I was told by this agency too and I decided not to go with them and got out here eventually and been here 18 months....

Yes, it was OGP who told me I had no chance of getting a job anywhere in the USA. I had several conversations with someone called Gary, he was adamant my skills were not "current" and would be wasting my time unless I got myself back onto a hospital ward.

I am more than happy to shout this out for all to see.......

O'Grady Peyton......you were wrong!
