The best way to find out info is to call the office. They will refer you to anyone you need to speak with for additional info.

agism is a factor in employment. employers would rather hire a new grad for $10 less an hour... that unfortunately is business. here are a few other reason for the nursing glut. currently, new nursing graduates are having a difficult time finding jobs. not just difficult, extremely difficult. this is for three reasons. reason number one - the schools love the money.. the state and federal governments have pumped millions of dollars into promoting "nursing education". this in of itself is not a bad thing as long is kept in line with the actual need for nurses. unfortunately, schools have put out so many nurses that here in san diego, you may have hundreds of applicants for a single nursing position at a local healthcare facility. this is not just a phenomenon of san diego, as we have applicants as far away as san francisco who apply for jobs here in san diego. so why do the schools not stop producing nurses? simply, it is because of the dollars the government pumps into the schools for the nursing education programs. they do not want to diminish these programs and lose this money. unfortunately, they do a great disservice to their students who take a nursing, and to the community who pays for this governmental funding. reason number two - the government wants to cut healthcare costs. our government, particularly the federal government, does not want to see any type of nursing shortage. one of the biggest costs of healthcare is in the provision of nurses for care. by flooding the nursing market, they will force nurses wages to go flat or decrease, allowing them to claim victory on reducing one of the costs of healthcare. this fits right in with the obama national healthcare plan. what will it take in the future to reduce the cost of healthcare? number one: reduce the cost of nursing as this is one area that you cannot turn over to a robot or a computer to reduce the cost. so you provide the funds for schools to be able to pump out an excessive amount of nurses, cheapening the wages and the profession. reason number three - the professional nursing organizations want to raise the bar for education. professional nursing organizations such as the ana and others have long promoted that the basis for even beginning nursing should be a four year bachelors degree. they have been unable to do this because there have been nursing shortages, and two year degree nurses or adn nurses were necessary to be able to provide bedside nursing and meet the need for the market. these professional nursing organizations have long promoted, and specifically since 2006, encouraged federal and state governments to provide funding for nursing schools. this funding covered both two-year degrees and four year degrees and is quite successful as evidenced by the nursing glut at this time. now the professional organizations have created a mandate for accreditation that requires a minimum percentage of staff have a bachelors degree or greater. now that we have a nursing glut, institutions do not have difficulty hiring four year degree or greater nurses to meet this percentage. overall, this leads institutions to hire four year degrees. this is now leaving the two year degree or adn nurse out in the cold, having spent two years of their lives getting an education that they cannot use and making them less or useless to the job market. unfortunately, the schools have pumped out so many bachelor degree nurses that even the bachelor nurses are having trouble finding jobs. i do not see a benefit of this in the economy. we now have educated people, who have no jobs, who will seek public assistance, and without work, they will not provide any taxes into the economy or system that helped them get educated. yet we continue to pump millions of dollars into the schools and universities to make nonproductive individuals. there needs to be a method to match the actual job need with the number being educated for the jobs. this is not just a phenomenon as local san diego. i have been reviewing many online nursing forms. there is a major glut happening across the nation in most metropolitan areas.

Absolutely. I am not aware of any foreign graduate getting a job without some type of experience. One program that assists foreign licensure and credentialing: http://www.welçomebackcenter.org. After getting the CA RN license, they participate in a Refreshèr coorifice to prepare for the job market. Hope this helps.
