So if my number starts with another number it is a proper SSN number? My number starts with another number and are 9 digits. I remembered wrong about what it says also. It says valid for work only with DHS authorization. Does this mean I can use this when I apply for a nursing license?

What is the ITIN? I got a SSN when I was in the US for a school exchange program. At least I think it is a SSN. It says not valid for workon it but other then that it says SSN on the thing. Is this correct?

Comparing the two systems of grading is not that easy. Norway has 5 letters that basically do the same as Americas 4. You will not pass with lower % score in the Norwegian system. And I would like to add that an A in America is very easy, but an A in Norway is pretty hard work. But I guess you will experience this since your are a student here now. I went on a student exchange program last year to America and I was surprised of how little they learned of hands on practical stuff. As for doctors, I would say that grades is not everything .... Peopleskills and job satisfaction and so on is also important. And the health system ... There are positives and negatives for both I think. One thing is for sure, the Norwegian healthsystem would not be as good if it were not for a good social system behind it. - Jon Fr

No watches, no jewelry, no nothing . You will be surprised about how people can take off everything, except the wedding ring. Like that is more bacteriaresistant than a regular ring. It just crcks me up. But the no jewelry rule is actually smart, you get a lot of bacteria that thrives under the moist and warm skin underneath your watch or ring. Its also quite difficult to wash properly under there. I'm surprised you don't have this rule in the US. Its a lawsuit waiting to happen , hehe.

If you think about it a wrist watch is probably not a good idea. In the hospital I'm at now they don't allow anything worn on the fingers,wrists or around the neck. I got myself a nurses watch to hang on my chest. A watch simmilar to these : http://www.walshbrothers.co.uk/Update/nurse.htm Personally I hate wearing a wrist watch so in "civilian clothes" my mobile phone is my watch.
