  1. Employers in Canada?

    RGN1 replied to agp_ph's topic in International Nursing

    Alberta is currently looking for foreign nurses to plug a gap, so they might be worth a look. Cheaper area to live than Vancouver by all accounts! I have also seen adverts for nurses in BC - so they...

  2. nursing practise in canada

    RGN1 replied to abiola07's topic in International Nursing

    Suggest you check out the Canadian Board of nursing in the province(s) you're interested in because each area has it's own criteria. From what I've seen they do want foreign nurses with experience...

  3. family face deportation for overstaying on visa

    RGN1 replied to Brian's topic in International Nursing

    If you choose to break the rules then you choose to face the consequences if/when caught! I cannot feel sympathy because they knew what they were doing & knew what would happen if they were found...

  4. Slight change in destination

    RGN1 replied to Silverdragon102's topic in International Nursing

    You said it might be on the cards - all the best. Your work permit would only take a short while to organise but the nursing board may take a while to verify your education. You can study for the CRNE...

  5. Should the NHS treat Obese patients or smokers

    RGN1 replied to PixieThunder's topic in United Kingdom

    RGN1 replied to english_nurse's topic in International Nursing

    Why you think it's gonna be worth reading

  7. mother dies after refusing blood transfusion

    RGN1 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in United Kingdom

    It's a difficult one this. I think you have to respect the patients wishes but I think it is hard when those beliefs are based on a book written in a different era. I'm a Christian but I would not...

  8. moving to the states

    RGN1 replied to ted53's topic in International Nursing

    You had better read all the "stickies" & primers & threads on here! AS has already been alluded to it's not so easy now & won't be unless US immigration sees a change in the current law....

  9. thanks to fellow nurses

    RGN1 replied to cariad's topic in International Nursing

    Oh my Cariad - I'm really sorry for you all - what a baptism of fire you've had! I hope that you can put this all behind you really

  10. Jobs in the private hosptial

    RGN1 replied to ayla2004's topic in International Nursing

    The private sector is a good alternative to employment in the NHS. I can only talk about my own experiences but my hospital has totally supported any newly qualified staff they have employed. The...

  11. An interesting article from The Daily Mail

    RGN1 replied to letina's topic in International Nursing

    The family with the child appeared on TV - are you saying that they were not telling the truth about their medical bills then? There are other people who tell of insurance companies not funding their...

  12. States that provide hard license for nurses

    RGN1 replied to chicken11's topic in International Nursing

    Vermont & New Mexico have (or had at any rate) "hard" licenses. You can renew as a foreign nurse if you're still out of the States & don't have your SSN. Both have special forms for that...

  13. new amateur transplants stuff

    RGN1 replied to ZippyGBR's topic in International Nursing

    Hehehe!! It's fun though!! Hope you're well & truly on the mend now though don't stop those facebook

  14. Work Permit For Canada

    RGN1 replied to harrn's topic in International Nursing

    SD is absolutely right - you have to meet the requirements in the province you want to work in. Unlike the USA things are slightly different between the provinces. Start with their nursing...

  15. Work Permit For Canada

    RGN1 replied to harrn's topic in International Nursing

    Well that's strange because I just got a job in Canada & they told me they're just starting a foreign nurse recruitment drive here in the UK. Guess it depends where you're

  16. An interesting article from The Daily Mail

    RGN1 replied to letina's topic in International Nursing

    Well he's talking about one hospital - I don't think there's that many of those in the USA - judging from what I've read on allnurses! Of course - I'd be delighted if there's one of those type of...

  17. Cleanliness in UK hospitals

    RGN1 replied to scattycarrot's topic in United Kingdom

    LOL!! Would have loved to have seen that!! It is an issue though isn't it - while everyone is moaning about nurses wearing their uniforms outside the workplace they still want us to get down on our...

  18. new amateur transplants stuff

    RGN1 replied to ZippyGBR's topic in International Nursing

    I immediately thought of facebook too - now I can leave it to you - then just copy my other nursing friends in! Hehehe - why do the work when someone else can!! Wasted a load of time watching the...

  19. new amateur transplants stuff

    RGN1 replied to ZippyGBR's topic in International Nursing

    Hehehe - had to check out the other stuff too - did you listen to amateur surgeon? It has swearing but was really

  20. I know we are all sick of this but.....

    RGN1 replied to scattycarrot's topic in International Nursing

    Well, like last time I added my comments but I'm really fed-up of this. Wish they'd give us a break & attack the people who are the real problem - politicians, chief executives etc etc!! Congrats...

  21. Cleanliness in UK hospitals

    RGN1 replied to scattycarrot's topic in United Kingdom

    Not quite sure what you're implying here?? I moved to the private sector because I couldn't bear not being able to my job safely or properly because there simply were not enough staff. When I was last...

  22. Nurses to decide on resuscitation

    RGN1 replied to Thanet's topic in International Nursing

    A senior nurse is exactly that - old money "E" grade - new money band 6. I think that any nurse at that level or above should be capable of making this decision on a ward. One of the consultants at...

  23. Nurses to decide on resuscitation

    RGN1 replied to Thanet's topic in International Nursing

    Although it seems like "common sense" & I can understand why the Council is saying this I would like to see some legislation to protect the nurse who has made such a decision. I can think of many...

  24. Immigration News and Updates

    RGN1 replied to lawrence01's topic in Immigration Advice

    RGN1 replied to english_nurse's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Hey Letina - nice to hear from you! I was going to ask EN the same question but as I think most nurses are just as bad I didn't!! We don't think of ourselves nearly enough!! Glad you did find Crocs to...
