  5. illegal

    RGN1 replied to heatherwood's topic in International Nursing

    I'm not taking it personally but my point is that if it's bothering you so much stop going on about it & just go ahead & report her! I still don't think it would be possible but you obviously...

  6. D grade, E grade, band 5 and all that rubbish

    RGN1 replied to english_nurse's topic in International Nursing

    Sounds like you need to go through your JD with a fine toothcomb. If you're doing the same as the nurses on the banding above you & you can prove it then they should give you your rightful band....

  7. illegal

    RGN1 replied to heatherwood's topic in International Nursing

    Whatever your problem is OP get over it! As SD said the old style RMN training does have enough hours for the US, if she wasn't good at her job she wouldn't be there & so what if she "only" has a...

  8. Retrogression Is Not Over

    RGN1 replied to suzanne4's topic in International Nursing

    You need to read the other threads on this - retrogression is not dead - there is no schedule "A" visas on the bulletin. Yes visas are current but they are not exclusively for nurses or the other...

    RGN1 replied to scattycarrot's topic in International Nursing

    Get off your computer & this forum & GET WORKING!!!!!!!! It's a b***** of an exam & you won't pass if you don't study!!!!!!! I'm guessing you trained in the UK so there's plenty of new...

  10. The Circumcision Discussion

    RGN1 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm from the UK and it is not done here at all in hospital at birth, only later if medically indicated eg phymosis. Of course there are those that get it done for religious reasons but they organise...

    RGN1 replied to janelola's topic in International Nursing

    Thank Heaven for that huh? The thought of having to take that thing again!!!! There's enough stress emigrating to the USA as it is!!! I'm freaked out enough about the fact that I'm going to have to...

  13. Should the NHS treat Obese patients or smokers

    RGN1 replied to PixieThunder's topic in United Kingdom

    I said this would be a "hot" topic from the start and I've not been proved wrong! Like MW I think that we have all given the OP plenty of fuel for her

  14. Can UK midwives get licensed in the US?

    RGN1 replied to lauritasol's topic in International Nursing

    All of the above - except to add that there's a shortage of midwives due to an increased birth rate here - so you may find you're in demand. However, it will cost you as SD said! Midwives here have a...

  15. Come on over! Visas are current!

    RGN1 replied to letina's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks letina & Co. I did see the bulletin - I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets it emailed straight to me! I emailed the lawyer but she's out the office until Monday! However, I have to say...

  16. illegal

    RGN1 replied to heatherwood's topic in International Nursing

    Also many UK RMN's did their general training first, especially if they qualified before the new degree course. I agree you can't go pointing fingers like that without any concrete evidence. There are...

  19. Immigration News and Updates

    RGN1 replied to lawrence01's topic in Immigration Advice

    I use this thread regularly to gauge the latest thoughts on anything immigration related. I'm glad the thread was not closed because it's an important source of info for us foreign nurses waiting to...

  20. Should the NHS treat Obese patients or smokers

    RGN1 replied to PixieThunder's topic in United Kingdom

    This is a UK thread & the NHS does run smoking cessation clinics etc for free plus you can get Nicotine replacement therapies & a new pill - name escapes me at the mo - on an NHS prescription...

  21. nursing in England

    RGN1 replied to nataly3's topic in United Kingdom

    Where I work the Director of Nursing cannot recruit anyone not from the UK or EU because any work permit that she applies for from those outside these places gets turned down. Nursing is no longer a...

  23. NCLEX this Friday!!!!!

    RGN1 replied to janelola's topic in International Nursing

  24. Should the NHS treat Obese patients or smokers

    RGN1 replied to PixieThunder's topic in United Kingdom

  25. No firm offers....anyone in the same....?

    RGN1 replied to LeeTendayi's topic in International Nursing

    Even though I got an offer the hospital did say to me that they were not recruiting foreign nurses because of the retrogression. I was lucky because the ward manager was from the UK & because I...
