  1. Best places to live for army nurse

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to Renee4christ's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! Talk about going off topic! The OP is coming to Hawaii for 3 years as an Army nurse...not looking to stay here permanently. All this talk about buying a property here is ridiculous. Most people...

  2. Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill introduced

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to blast1's topic in International Nursing

    Yes, it pretty much sounds like the same bill. I understand the need to address the issue of illegal immigration, but I don't see the bill receiving much attention until the healthcare issue is...

  3. Does Anyone From Your LTC/SNF Meet Patients Prior To Admission?

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in Geriatric, LTC

    For the first few years I worked at my facility, the assistant DON would go to the hospital to screen potential admissions. I have noticed that now it seems we accept just about anyone, sight unseen....

  4. Origin of the title "Charge Nurse?"

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in General Nursing

    Alrighty, then...guess I was sucessfully duped when I was a new

  5. Origin of the title "Charge Nurse?"

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have heard that the title "Charge Nurse" started when hospital/nursing home administrations were trying to avoid paying nurses overtime pay. By elevating them from a plain ole nurse to a "Charge...

  6. Best Place to Live/Work in Virginia

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to NURSESTAR's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Hmmm...definitely a lot to think about. I am planning to move to the N. VA area next spring or summer, and I was wondering what the job market is like right now. I have a sister in Arlington, so I'd...

  7. Control of controlled medications

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to SolaireSolstice's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I totally agree with you. Unfortunately, the policy allows us to use meds--including narcotics-- in bottles that are delivered by mail from an outside pharmacy (like the VA pharmacy). It doesn't allow...

  8. Control of controlled medications

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to SolaireSolstice's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    We also count at the beginning and end of each shift. An issue I am having is that the narcs from the facility pharmacy are in blister packs, so they are easy to count...but some residents have their...

  9. International nursing students in the US

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to suzanne4's topic in Immigration Advice

    Absolutely. When I was a new grad I was smart enough to realize that I did not have the clinical judgment and skills needed to work without supervision in a home health care setting. Can't imagine why...

  10. tourist visa granted but went home to the philippines

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to gracielle86's topic in International Nursing

    Maybe not all... but judging from the numerous posts in this forum, there are many people who seem to think of nursing as just a quick way to get to the US. At one time it was, but that is no longer...

  11. CNA's and Tube Feeding: What's Your Facility's Policy?

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm just curious whether the CNA's where you work are allowed to administer tube feedings, or if it is only done by the nurses. At my LTC/SNF, an advanced CNA is allowed to hang the tube feeding for...

  12. Student Nurse Cost of Living

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to theo123's topic in International Nursing

    I might be naive, but I thought the original poster was going to sponsor someone in obtaining their education. What does a person's shopping preferences have to do with nursing school?? Maybe I'm...

  13. Foreign nurses watch this...

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to bryanb_2003ph's topic in International Nursing

    I wanted to point out that this video is from March--it is over 6 months old. The statement President Obama made that importing foreign nurses makes no sense was made before the US economy took a...

  14. situation: need hospital experience and willing to spend

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to mrmiyagi's topic in Philippines

    In the US, nurses do not pay for training when they start a new job! There is an orientation period when you start a new job, and you are paid during that orientation. No American nurse would ever...

  15. CNA's and Tube Feeding: What's Your Facility's Policy?

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I was surprised, too, but apparently it's not uncommon in

  16. Any thoughts on Kahi Mohala?

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to robbhman's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm...never heard of Kahi Mohala. I had to Google it to find out what it even is! And still, it doesn't ring a bell. As far as Ewa is concerned, I guess it depends on your definition of "decent place...

  17. visa retrogression

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to fiery_sunset's topic in International Nursing

    I don't know any facility actively recruiting foreign nurses at this time. With the downturn in the US economy, even new grad US nurses are having difficulty finding employment. Recruiting foreign...

  18. Where are all the nurses?

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I love P-Town! I'd work there in a heartbeat... but unfortunately it would be a really long commute from

  19. H1b Visa for nurses under FY 2010

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to LemuelRN's topic in Immigration Advice

    That memo really provides very little useful information. It does, however, state that the information in the memo pertains to persons with a bachelor's, master's or doctorate degree....not an...

  20. H1b Visa for nurses under FY 2010

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to LemuelRN's topic in Immigration Advice

    I would encourage you to read the responses to the thread you started about the same issue: https://allnurses.com/international-nursing/how-find-hospitals-417296.html Others have explained to you that...

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to arvaarva's topic in International Nursing

    First of all, you need to calm down!!!!!!!!!!! Your situation is no more urgent than others. There are a lot of people in the same boat. If you had been reading the forums, you would already know...

  22. International nursing students in the US

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to suzanne4's topic in Immigration Advice

    Since you are new to the forums, I would encourage you to do some reading here. H1b is only available to advanced nurses; as a new graduate you are not eligible. It's extremely unlikely that you will...

  23. Question about applying for NCLEX

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to Lera's topic in International Nursing

    RN license holder in multiple states? :chuckle Love your sense of humor, NP Gilly, but let's not feed the flames! That poster is not a nurse, not a nursing student, not a nurse educator, not a CNA....

  24. is it too late for everything?...

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to azil2010's topic in International Nursing

    Don't be sad...it's not too late! When states issue a nursing license, it is only good for a few years. The length of time the license is good for depends on the state. For example, my state's license...

  25. Pls help me.

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to rochvan18's topic in General Nursing

    Is your bachelor's degree in nursing, or some other field? If it is in nursing, you can take the NCLEX in the Philippines when you go back. (As Lisa said, you most likely cannot attend nursing school...
