One thing I'd wish I'd known before going to the USA......

Hey all you wonderful nurses who have made the journey across the pond, or are nearly there bar the flights! I thought it might be fun/interesting/helpful if you could post something along the lines of "One thing I wish I'd done/known when going to the USA....."

It could be funny/informative or both & could encompass learning to live in the USA or work or the immigration process: whatever you think..........

You never know, it might end up as the best sticky on the site :D

Of course I can start it off (although I don't actually qualify as I'm not there, or even nearly yet) by saying "I wish I'd known how long it was going to take!":)

Now over to y'all..................

hi kenny, i just wondered how old your children are?

only 91 days till Xmas - good lord i am screwed - crap - knew i should have started shopping already - sigh - thanks for the reminder though. :jester: :monkeydance:

thats a relief, i had visions of your 12 year old having to have afternoon naps!!

:D

i think i should have had more sleep today :D

when i was a kid - even in teens ( mind you i did not stay there often haha) my grandma made us nap after lunch " to help digest our lunch" roflmao - nowadays - id kill for that nap after lunch heheheh.

sorry and we moved the conversation to pm that same day.

I wish I knew where English-nurse's packet 4 was.

I wish I knew exactly to the day when I'd get to the USA so I could plan appropriately.

I wish I knew that retrogression was really not going to affect me.

I wish I didn't have to keep photocopying the same documents for different forms.

I wish this was all over & I was on the plane!!

Bit of time away from it all for personal reflection on many of life's issues. And to sulk.

Nice to have you back though!

Specializes in ER.

I wish I had know that I can't be as straight forward as back in Europe, telling how I feel about some things, this seems to be frowned upon. I have that fake smile on my face often these days I notice. Sorry, I have had a long week....

And I seriously think we have a RICHER vocabulary back home - I miss good cursing in the break room!

OG,,,,,, now I know that you are welsh, thay have marketed the corner for sulking !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
