Wow this site is HUGE I didnt know where to start lol
Im Clare im 26 from ther UK I currnetly reside in the West Midlands and work on a 48 bedded unit which has 24 beds in renal, 12 in cardiology and 12 in Endocrinology my main experience is in renal medicine but the last 6 months I have been in charge of the Cardiology section which I am really enjoying. I qualified when I was 21 and have always stayed on the same unit when I was 25 I was promoted to Sister or Shift Lead as we are called now, I have been in my current posisiton for a little over 12 months.
I fell in love with the USA in 2003 when I visited New York, since I have been on a few fly drives and have visited LA, Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe, Lake Havasu, Yosemite, Grand Canyon and San Francisco ~ I love California and have dreamt since then of emigrating along with my husband Adam and our 2 chihuahuas Ozzy and Lily, So I begqan to look into moving and quickly realised the only chance we had was through me been a nurse (Thank god I am lol) so I have been collecting info and came across this site and here I hope to get a few questions answered if you all wouldnt mind :
Where do I start ?
Should I join an agency (OGP is the only one i have come across) or do it alone ?
When shall I put in for my NCLEX ?
Is the wage alot better ? as I am on a fairly good wage at the moment.
Im sure I will think of more but thats about it for now
So thanks in advance and I cant tell you how happy I am to of found this place
Specializes in General Medicine, Renal and Cardiology.

Well Erin from adevia contacted me last night - I must say I was so impressed it was literally 24 hours from when they recieved my CV so that is "very soon" she was lovely and really explained things too me and told me all the next steps and has since emailed me all the info and forms I need to fill in for Vermont - But first I am awaiting my transcripts to arrive from my Uni to check my hours - so keep your fingers and toes crossed that the required hours are all there :)
