   Check out Current Visa Bulletin http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_5019.html Even if you would apply to come here now -- it looks like it would take a very long time until you can start working here. Priority date is now August 15, 20...

2. First job in sub-acute unit in LTC

   brauchi replied to brauchi's topic in New Nurse

   I had my interview yesterday. And it seems like a good place. They have 30 people on the subacute floor which is covered by 3 nurses (LPN and RN). I had a very good feeling for it -- now I just have to wait for them to call me back -- to see if they ...

3. First job in sub-acute unit in LTC

   brauchi replied to brauchi's topic in New Nurse

   I will have my real interview with the nurse manager on Tuesday. And at that point I will also see if they let me smell their place. It could be a good indicator about the place. And then we will see. But the fact is that I don't have any options bei...

4. First job in sub-acute unit in LTC

   brauchi replied to brauchi's topic in New Nurse

   That sounds like a hard job waiting for me. But here is the question. How can one person be in charge of 15 patients when the ratio in hospitals is around 8 patients per RN? Am I missing something? On the other hand I will be able to learn many ski...

5. First job in sub-acute unit in LTC

   brauchi posted a topic in New Nurse

   Finally, I have found a place who might be interested in hiring me. But now I am getting nervous as I always thought that you should start your RN career in a hospital - rather than in a nursing home. I was offered a possible job in a sub-acute area...

   brauchi replied to MJJFan1's topic in NCLEX

   Yes. They had the quick results but it wasn't at 8am Eastern Time. I have checked an hour ago and found out that I passed. I still can't believe but if they say that I passed than this should be the answer.... :pumpiron: I DID IT!!!

   brauchi replied to MJJFan1's topic in NCLEX

   It has been now more than 48 hours since I took the NCLEX and I can't see results on Pearsonvue or on Nursing Website. Maybe I am not there becasue I didn't give a social security number -- as I just recently applied for it and haen't received it yet...

   brauchi replied to brauchi's topic in NCLEX

   And in the meantime I will try to start studying some more. Not that I didn't do this ever since I finished nursing school in december.

9. too many med questions for me

   brauchi posted a topic in NCLEX

   I came home from my NCLEX test a few hours ago. And, although I have read that a lot people, who think they fail pass, doesn't make me feel like this would happen to me. I think I got too many easy questions in a row......

10. International nursing students in the US

    brauchi replied to suzanne4's topic in Immigration

    I have received one information from a hospital up there that they won't even hire me on my basis as OPT as they don't know if I would be able to stay for longer than these twelf months. SO I guess my first bet would be to find somebody who would hir...

    brauchi replied to suzanne4's topic in Immigration

    Thank you. I can need all the luck in the world. I have called many nursing recruters at varies hospitals but so far I can't get them to call me back.All I was asking them was if they would generally hire nurses on OPT -- and if so - if they could ca...

    brauchi replied to suzanne4's topic in Immigration

    I have spoken to two different hospitals in Baltimore, Maryland. And both of them said that they nobody there would hire international nurses. Do you know if there is a different from the countries people are coming from. I am from Germany and I don...

    brauchi replied to suzanne4's topic in Immigration

    I will be finishing my RN ADN program next month. When I tried to find a job I received information that scared me. I was told that, because of the retrogression, they wouldn't even hire me for my 12 months occupational training (which should be deci...
