Maltese er nurse seeking job in new york

[happydreamer]

hi im an american citizen that is planning on going to live in new york later this year. I'll be living in Manhattan. Just would like to know if there are an other maltese or at least european nurses that could share the process needed to be done to get started.

I have done the BLS and ILS course along with a certificate in emergency nursing (9 month course). I have a BSC in nursing and have been working in the ER for the past 2 years this coming august.

Does anyone have any idea if its hard to get jobs as an er nurse in nyc?

I would prefer to work in a trauma centre but i guess i cant be too too picky can i

And i've also heard about some sort of course that needs to be done since i've studied outside the states. does anyone know about how long that would take, and is it provided by the employing hospital or do i have to do it at a university/ nurisng school?

thanks

Have you applied for a NY nursing license yet? You will need to write the NCLEX before you can work.

hi today i finally sent out my application for my credentials to be verified. Do i sent out my application for my nursing licensure now or do i have to wait for my verfication of credentials???? thanks

You can send your application in but nothing will happen until CGFNS send your CVS documents to NY which may take up to 6-8 months

ok thanks...do they really take up to 8 months to clear you????

All depends on how timely the documents are sent from CGFNS and returned to them, could take longer but CGFNS will wait 6 months for documents and then transfer file to NY who will then review your file
