  2. 72 INCH long wound!

    RGN1 replied to NurseNature's topic in General Nursing

    You lot are gross:lol2: Should add to the "you know you're a nurse" thing - "you know you're a nurse when the more gross the wound the more excited you get!!" I like my patients with nice clean suture...

  3. Sunday Times view of nurses

    RGN1 replied to cheshirecat's topic in International Nursing

    That worked because from the word get-go you were part of the team. By the time you got to the 3rd year you were used to the way things ran because you'd been in the same hospital - bar little trips...

    RGN1 replied to paris2's topic in International Nursing

  5. Cleanliness in UK hospitals

    RGN1 replied to scattycarrot's topic in United Kingdom

    It's interesting to read all the comments after the Telegraph article. I feel saddened to read of all those people who have had such a bad experience in the NHS. Quite a lot of them do talk about the...

  8. anyone know any direct hire hospitals in USA

    RGN1 replied to curlysin's topic in International Nursing

    I'm one of the latter mentioned above! I got a direct hire position, no agency, no recruiter, just me and my audacious cold calling skills :wink2:. However, retrogression has halted me in my tracks....

  12. US needs foreign-trained healthcare workers

    RGN1 replied to mhwa's topic in International Nursing

    The article says LESS THAN 4%!!!!! There's no "outsourcing" going on - please don't mis-represent the evidence. You're entitled to your opinions but don't alter the figures to suit your

  13. US needs foreign-trained healthcare workers

    RGN1 replied to mhwa's topic in International Nursing

  14. US needs foreign-trained healthcare workers

    RGN1 replied to mhwa's topic in International Nursing

    Not all foreign nurses wanting to come to America are from "third world" countries. Not that I'm putting down those who are, nor their reasons for wanting to come to the USA. I have 11 years...

  15. Becoming a neonatal nurse in UK

    RGN1 replied to Sun*shine's topic in International Nursing

    I think you'll need to talk to your uni - the trouble with todays nursing courses is that they narrow you down too early. When we trained we decided on speciality once we'd qualified (& had 6...

  16. US to strengthen the current E-Verify system

    RGN1 replied to lawrence01's topic in International Nursing

    Hmmm - do you think that may eventually help those of us trying to legally get to the US? Mind you I don't suppose there's many, if any, illegally working as nurses! If there was the sudden loss in...

  17. Texas Service Center Tracker for I-140

    RGN1 replied to lawrence01's topic in Immigration Advice

    My I-140 receipt came from Texas & I just went to look for their processing times (I was convinced I'd be Nebraska as so far not much else has gone my way) now I'm depressed again - I hope it...

    Florida Hospital is in Orlando - they recruit foreign nurses but are currently only interested in those with critical care/ICU experience. Try & get into that area once you qualify to maximise...

  23. RCN accepts pay deal

    RGN1 replied to Fonenurse's topic in International Nursing

    Because we're so darn busy or exhausted we can't find the time to do anything about it!! Also while there's a job freeze & more nurses than jobs (& note I say jobs not needed) it's their...

  24. Nurse: Wanted in Isle of Man

    RGN1 replied to yoo jin's topic in International Nursing

    They have an independent government and make their own laws & tax rules & I don't think they are part of the NMC even - though I'm not 100% sure about that bit. I don't think the recruiting...
