hello! i took my nclex last sept 2004 and thank God i passed. I took the montana nclex and dont have yet my license since i dont have a social security number. ive passed all the lots, its been 3 yrs since i had my visa screen. what happens then? will i still be able to get a license even if i had passed the exam last 2004? like how long is the grace period for me to obtain my SS number to get my hard US license. tah maria_oz

yep! we get 6 weeks paid holiday every year. we also have one ADO (accrude day off) per month. that means we get paid for 8 hrs without going to work once a month. permanent full time staffs work only 38 hrs per week, over that is already overtime = 2.5 pay. sick leave also accumulates. we have pet leave, compassionate leave, study leave, and all the sorts of leave i think. :) maria

hi! I know La Mirada, Cali is not a part of northern california (not sure though:rolleyes: ) but id like to know how much is the starting pay per hour in that area. im an experienced nurse (clinical nurse specialist) from australia and the agency that recruited me offered to pay me 25-28$/hour. excluding the fringe benefits, overtime, nite diffentials. is that a fair pay? ta! maria:)

thats true! one nurse handles one ventilated patient. and thats the standard here in australia. otherwise ull be in trouble with the union. yep, our nursing union here has a strong say about patient ratios. we also have 6 weeks paid holiday leave. how about in the US?:)

i work in a respiratory unit as a clinical nurse specialist. in our HDU, one nurse handles 2 patients and in all normal wards 1 nurse is to 4 patients. whats the nurse:patient ratio there?

haller! im a registered nurse - cns in australia and had applied to work in the US. ive meet a couple of nurses from there that moved here down under and had told me that if i go there, its like going to a less better condition. they also said that though u get paid more there, workwise u have to work really really hard. hows nursing like in the US?
