   I just wonder how you could work on CPT after graduation? Probably, that's because technically you were considered a student at the university but you did not take any classes along with your full-time CPT (which is permitted).

   You are so funny. I think you are confusing CPT with OPT. CPT can be either part-time of full-time. Ask me how I know. If you want to know too, go to google.com and type "full-time CPT".

   No one has ever gotten his/her green card automatically. This is not true. One can work full-time on CPT. It depends. If one applies for EAD and I-485 gets rejected, then one has to leave the country. Back to the point. The above statement is in...

   In fact, the hospital can be considered as a part of the school, if your school sends students there for clinical practice. Also, you can apply for curriculum practical training. CPT can full-time or part-time. It does not require authorization from ...

   you don't need a lawyer to apply for Visascreen. Go to http://www.cgfns.org/sections/programs/vs/ and read carefully. Get your OPT and be ready to go back to school for your BSN since green cards for nurses are not available at this time.

   This is not true. F-1 status and I-20 will not be terminated automatically, and one will remain in F-1 status as long as she/he does not apply for EAD/AP, and cont. to pursue full-time course of study.

   A lot from what you've written above is true, but you can't fail your Anatomy class just because "the teacher is old". Besides, there are two or three teachers there. I took it with Dr. Yong, she is great! Those who study hard will pass it (Ask me h...

   I would advise to look up the cost of the tuition on their web site first: $495 per credit General Education Courses and HCOP Courses $540 per credit Professional Education Courses. That's for 2007-2008. That's about 45% up for the last three years. ...

10. $17.00 Hr. Starting Wage For RN?

    Spartak replied to krazykev's topic in Arkansas

    I'm a new RN grad. A month ago I got a job offer from the hospital located in a small town in Southern Texas. They offered $17.50 per hour. It sounded like an insult to me. So, I turned down the offer.

11. New Grad RN.... In need of serious help!!

    Spartak replied to Dominicana1's topic in Massachusetts

    Getting a first job for a new grad in Boston is ridiculously difficult. And the pay rate is low comparing to the cost of living. A lot of new grads have to move out of state to get a job.
