2. Does USA still hires International Nurses?

   silent_rn replied to silent_rn's topic in International

   Thanks for the comment Simkale. I just find it ironic, If USA will always hire international nurses then why does it take long wait to get a visa to work there? It seem to me that they have enough supply of nurses that they do not need it badly, or w...

    silent_rn replied to jack1971's topic in New Nurse

    What I can say is that you have to look what is ahead of you and stop blaming yourself for quitting the job, stop feeding yourself that you are a failure because your husband and family said so. It's about time to stand bold on your decisions and tr...
