  1. This thread is very old--it's referring to July, 2007! I don't know for sure, but that window may have been open and shut a few times since
  2. Visa Retrogression and Comprehensive Immigration Reform

    from reading the title of this thread, i thought the article would have had something to do with retrogression. the title is misleading though--the word "retrogression" isn't even mentioned in the...
  3. Need Japanese language skills?

    I think it would be more helpful if you could speak Ilocano. That way you'd be able to understand what your co-workers are saying...about
  4. H1b Visa for nurses under FY 2010

    I'm confused right now, too. You stated you only have 6 months of experience...but then want to change it to a year "by asking the chief nurse where i work before." Ummm...isn't that lying? If you...
  5. I am from... to help...

    You may be in the United States, but I find it hard to believe that you are from the United States. Clearly, English is a second language for you. People from the US would not make this type of error...
  6. I am from... to help...

    ------------------------------------------ originally posted by 5cats so no, not everybody in the states is happy when they are used as a stepping stone, people got the greencard and left the emloyer...
  7. I am from... to help...

    Well, we'll just have to agree to disagree, I guess. Apparently you don't "find fault" or "have issues" with anything anyone does as long as what they are doing is legal. You prefer to not consider...
  8. Ummm...didn't you read the first paragraph of my previous comment, in which I already answered the
  9. In the USA, the Associate's degree is recognized as the entry level degree to practice as an RN (not including the old hospital-trained diploma nurses.) The Philippines requires a BSN as the entry...
  10. I am from... to help...

    And that's the problem: for some reason, you just don't get it. Canada is not part of the United States. Canada is a different country. When people go to Canada--and use it as a "stepping stone" to...
  11. I am from... to help...

    I think part of the issue I am having with this thread is the title: "I am from...to help..." The phrase "to help" implies a degree of benevolence and selflessness not apparent in the actual post. If...

    Alexk49, you're dreamin', girl! From reading the original poster's comments, it's not about becoming a part of the fabric of the community. Her goal is to move anywhere where there is an opportunity...
  13. retrogression all is not lost

    Do you have a link to the source of this "quote?" I keep reading the same "quote," and no one has provided any information as to who, if anyone, actually said this. And "rumoured by certain people?"...
  14. No SSN, ITIN application as alternative

    The questions you seem to be asking--how to apply to various countries, ITIN vs. SSN--have been answered many, many times in this forum. You need to take the initiative to search the forums for the...
  15. It's normal to be apprehensive about taking exams. I don't know a single person who wasn't nervous about taking the NCLEX! If you want to be a nurse in a foreign country, you need to pass the...

    I don't even understand the
  17. retrogression all is not lost

    Interesting how a thread titled "retrogression all is not lost"--in which people are hoping to be able to come to the US--has turned into a US-bashing free-for-all! There is no one perfect country,...
  18. PAY RATE ISSUE

    susnset1986, you have posted the same message in the Hawaii forum. Please see my response
  19. PAY RATE ISSUE

    I have noticed that a number of LTC facilities on Oahu seem to like using this horrible practice when hiring new RN's, and it really irks me! They mainly seem to try this strategy with RN's from the...
  20. retrogression all is not lost

    I'm glad to hear people finally choosing Canada for reasons other than as a "stepping stone" to the US! In this economic climate it certainly makes sense. As you may have heard, here in the US we...
  21. passed nclex - CA but does not have SSN

    Not to go on and on, but I just wanted to correct you. ALL visas are issued at the discretion of the US government. Hence my statement that entering the US--for any reason--is a privilege granted by...
  22. passed nclex - CA but does not have SSN

    Stupid number?? How insulting! All US workers/citizens have a "stupid number." If you cannot respect the way the US chooses to govern itself, perhaps you can just stay where you are. And remember--...

    :chuckle
  24. retrogression all is not lost

    Yep. I love Canada. If I were a Canadian nurse, I'd be plenty irritated by people who think your country is a stepping
  25. retrogression all is not lost

    I think most Americans are aware that when politicians talk about "immigration reform," the primary issue issue being addressed is illegal immigration. The bill currently in Congress seems like a...
