  1. Unlicensed California passer to work in New York

    augigi replied to Barbie38's topic in International Nursing

    The NCLEX result and the CA BON application are two different things. The three year limit is for the CA BON application. If you don't have the SSN you have to reapply and pay again, I don't think...

  2. Salary, Benefits and Visa

    augigi replied to john83's topic in International Nursing

    Actually, I don't think new grads can come here, unless you have 12 of the past 18 months experience. CHeck the DIMIA website, or the British expats

    augigi replied to Barbie38's topic in International Nursing

  4. Returning wasted blood to a line?

    augigi replied to aquaphoneRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    I've worked in several Australian ICUs in different states and never seen one. Sounds interesting, esp for someone with frequent ABG sampling/bloods. I think I'd feel odd giving it back, after doing...

    augigi replied to Kait's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  7. How to file complaint against IL BON?

    augigi replied to lizzyd's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I wouldn't think it would matter if you were training, if you were hired and being paid as an RN. What does your paperwork say you were hired

    augigi replied to spirit11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    augigi replied to ccunurse123's topic in International Nursing

    augigi replied to twotrees2's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry to hear about your loss at this time on the holidays. Your anger is understandable. It would be very unlikely that someone would get a majoy staph bacteremia from a blood draw. Did he have...

    augigi replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

  22. The evil reign of PowerPoint Lectures

    augigi replied to agoodusername's topic in General Students

    The problem obviously isn't powerpoint, but the lecturers using it. It's a great tool, and meant to be used as an outline, which can be expanded on during the lecture. I'd die if I couldn't use it for...
