Any foreign nurses out there. I am an English trained nurse who has gone through CGFNS and now hold a Michigan RN licence. I have been working in Michigan now on Med/Surg GI GU for 5 years and am a Charge nurse.
We are looking to relocate to Va and I am looking at Mary Washington Hospital.
My questions are:-
1, Anyone know if it will be hard for me to get my licence changed from Mi to Va even if I was educated in the UK?
2. I see jobs for Infusion nurses. Don't think we have those in Mi. Anyone care to tell me what this is?
3. Pay for an RN with 5 years US experience? Currently I get just under $25/hr
4. Paid Time Off. This was a new experience for me as in UK we get 5 wks a year and that doesn't include sick time. Here in Mi I get just over 6hours per pay period. So how does it work in Va.
5. Any advice or comments on Mary Washington Hospital in Fredericksberg?
Thanks for reading!!
