Looking for job...

Hi I have some queries and I would love to hear any advice. I came here in U.S oct.2014, I was petitioned by my husband so the papers was really took time to complete in order to get nclex exam. And last January I took and I passed the exam and I am very excited to apply. The problem is I didnt work as an RN for almost 2 years. I worked in NICU for 6 years in the middle east. Are they going to consider my previous experienced? And my problem is its been 2years I didn't practiced my specialization as a nurse and I really wanted to work again in nicu.

Another question. I lived in new jersey. And we are planning to reside in chicago. So I started to apply in hospital in chicago. Yet I'm so skeptical if they are going to hire out of the state applicants and with my experienced from middle east with two years no recent experience. Thanks for your response.

    AndreaLiboon,

    I think your past experience is relevant, however you would probably have greater chances at getting hired if your employer was willing to put through NICU orientation - similar as a new grad to NICU. I know my NICU would likely hire you and give you up to 16 weeks of training/orientation. My manager has hired people who have been away from NICU for awhile and put them through orientation, as well as nurses from other countries who have had a lapse in RN employment due to delays in passing the U.S. NCLEX and citizenship paperwork, etc. Good luck, I think it is possible; demonstrate your interest in NICU and be persistent.
