  1. Please Help - regarding getting transcripts

    RGN1 replied to suzanne7575's topic in International Nursing

    Have you tried emailing ALL the top people at your university?? My uni just wouldn't play ball when preparing my transcripts so I went on their website & emailed everyone I could from the Dean...

  2. Transcripts rejected

    RGN1 replied to AZ hopeful's topic in International Nursing

    What a nightmare for

  3. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! Vent, vent, vent!!

    RGN1 replied to RGN1's topic in International Nursing

    Wow - I was so surprised to see this too! Well I got the senior staff post & have been put on the managing in a care environment course since all this happened. Never heard another thing after...

  4. how did you start petitioning process?

    RGN1 replied to want2wearscrubs's topic in International Nursing

    My employer petitioned me & they knew before the interview that I would need petitioning - as I said at the very start of this thread!! How can being truthful make me worse than someone who lies??...

  5. Days off guidelines

    RGN1 replied to skicharles93's topic in International Nursing

    Our hospital (in the UK- to make sure there's no confusion here) has quite a good pension scheme - reasonably comparable to the NHS by all accounts. I'm not in it because I already had an outside one...

  6. Days off guidelines

    RGN1 replied to skicharles93's topic in International Nursing

    Do you know I couldn't bear internal rotation, period - I hated it with such a vengeance that I took a job in out patients at a private hospital & haven't looked back since! I'm back in the...

  7. Flexible working hours

    RGN1 replied to paris2's topic in International Nursing

    The hospital trust I worked in was able to accommodate my need for family friendly hours with no problem. I worked on an acute medical ward. I worked 3 earlies but from 8.30 to 14.30 during term time...

  8. how did you start petitioning process?

    RGN1 replied to want2wearscrubs's topic in International Nursing

    The original OP just asked how we went about getting petitioned - I simply answered that question by saying how I went about it. The OP didn't mention anything about AOS, F-1 or H-4. I did start to...

  9. Atlas Medical Recruitment?

    RGN1 replied to LeeTendayi's topic in International Nursing

    Like all agencies just make sure you go through the contract with a fine tooth comb and some! Atlas was on my list originally too & I did get an offer but luckily I was able to find a job on my...

  10. how did you start petitioning process?

    RGN1 replied to want2wearscrubs's topic in International Nursing

    You should not lie to get your job because you could end up deported and being banned from coming back to the USA for 10 years. I too don't understand just what visa you are on to be able to get the...

  11. how did you start petitioning process?

    RGN1 replied to want2wearscrubs's topic in International Nursing

    I telephoned the hospital I was interested in working in and they offered me an interview and subsequently a job. MY I-140 has since been filed. You should make them fully aware that you need...

  12. O"Grady Peyton Agency?? Wat Yah Think?

    RGN1 replied to mikes511's topic in International Nursing

    Suggest you check out the MULTITUDE of threads regarding this agency. Seems they promise much & deliver not often! Not to mention they have pretty much the hugest cancellation fee of any agency...

  13. Out of the mouths of babes

    RGN1 replied to madwife2002's topic in International Nursing

  14. moving from US to UK?

    RGN1 replied to NurseyInFL04's topic in International Nursing

    If I was your fiance I'd be wanting to go to the USA!! Nothing more I can add otherwise to what SD has already said - that's not unusual

  15. I've been away for a week

    RGN1 replied to XB9S's topic in International Nursing

    Well done you! looking forward to nosing the pics! I'm doing the "Pink Aerobics" at Regents Park in September but that pales into insignificance compared to what you have

  16. nursing in England

    RGN1 replied to nataly3's topic in United Kingdom

    I based my time line on the Indian nurses who were on the ONP at the NHS hospital where I worked. Maybe they were making it last longer so they could have cheap labour! At 1st they had to work 6...

  17. Visa Bulletin

    RGN1 replied to jonRNMD's topic in Immigration Advice

    For the rest of us the visas have run out already. They say there will be more in the October bulletin under the 2008 allocation (if I understood it correctly) but who these will be for I don't know....

  18. nursing in England

    RGN1 replied to nataly3's topic in United Kingdom

    My instincts tell me that it would take them more than 6 months to sort things out. The ONP program is so severely over subscribed that you probably wouldn't get a place on it and the program lasts a...

  19. Wanting To Know What I Need To Know

    RGN1 replied to linda216's topic in International Nursing

    Have you considered Scotland? They have a different approach - I posted in another thread on here details from an advert in the Nursing times. I know you're too early on at the moment to actually...

  20. In Scotland, AFC still not been assimilated! Anyone else?

    RGN1 replied to gallacher2001's topic in International Nursing

    My goodness - what a mess! I work in the Independent sector & our employer (who just happens to be a US company) has told us that they will not be implementing AfC at all. In my old NHS job "D"...

  21. anyone affected by the floods?

    RGN1 replied to cybernurse81's topic in International Nursing

    Other than the disruption to Wimbledon, London has been fine so far. Have been watching the terrible mess further north though. I hope people are ale to get themselves sorted soon. I couldn't begin to...

  22. Hello...need informations about nursing course

    RGN1 replied to pizzalover's topic in International Nursing

    Good luck - the road to the USA is very difficult - just check out the threads & stickies here - sure you don't want Australia?? They accept your training as it is! :-) However, if you're among...

  23. Terrorist attacks in the UK again

    RGN1 replied to madwife2002's topic in International Nursing

    It seems now that there's a definite medical link here - they've taken advantage of the trust placed in them. The checks that doctors go through here were focused on (obviously & rightly - well...

  24. Welsh Nurse in SC !!

    RGN1 replied to MYSTERIALMARIA's topic in International Nursing

    Think you missed the fact that this statement was a joke - UK humour strikes again me thinks! I always referred to it as a "multiguess" quiz when I was studying for it

  25. agencies

    RGN1 replied to nichola36's topic in International Nursing

    Stateside seem to know what they are doing, Atlas also. I have pretty much done the rounds of the agencies but ended up managing to go it alone, to be honest more by luck than judgement though!...
