well... maybe we should ask you the same question.... i dont like telling a patient off... there are like a thousand reasons why they are acting as such.. and thousand ways to deal with it. but believe me.. your rude comments pretty much gives out that you dont try to understand others' perspectives as well.... maybe try to take same of your own dose of advice.

THANK YOU!!! for everyone's advice, im very grateful.i hope that dnp requirement would just freeze in time, until i graduate and finish. it's just freaking me out that other schools are already jumping on that bandwagon... reading the bsn-dnp program with 72 credits needed. .... but here in NY i havent seen that yet. but heard that to happen. from the hospital i am working at, they cover maximum of 18 credits per semester.... only for the credits, all other miscellanous stuff we have to pay. from the schools that i have researched they will only allow max of 4 - 5 yrs to finish the master's. i just dont want to get caught in the middle wherein i graduate by 2015- and nobody will accept me for certifi:bluecry1:cation

im in an inhouse float pool with $5000/ annual increase. i believe its an 800 bed capacity acute care hospital in ny. with all the same benefits and galores a regular staff nurse on a permanent unit has.

thanks for the advice! really appreciate it... but just one question what's the "10 year plan"?TIA:)

i am very much interested in pursuing my education and becoming an NP... but the "2015 DNP" (as i would call it, for the lack of better terms ) makes me wonder if it will be right for me. financially and time management wise.. it will be tremendously hard (with a full time job and 2 kids). i am in much confusion as to how will i start doing this. i dont want to drop my dreams all just like that, but it is tremendously difficult to study for more than 5 years, not to mention the money and time i have to spent. i live here in NJ- very interested in taking FNP. planning to start school by fall 2011. please help. thanks:nurse:

try st. joseph regional medical center (NJ) website. their hospital's patient care propponent model is jean watson- seen her whole thing in there with her books.

i live nearby hackensack and work in 114th street and amsterdam ave... in the morning-20-30 mins commute by GWB. at night 15 mins to go home. i have thought of leaving my work for an easier commute but ended up not doing so all the time... can't find any equivalent to the benefits that i got from NYSNA union

i asked my agency from new york regarding the issue, and they were the one who allowed us. i also asked our lawyer, though she said there are no conflicts i am still worried. and you are right it is a source a big cracking headache, and endless worries. because i had some classmates who planned doing the same thing but still ended going first to their petitioner's state. thanks for your advice.

i would like to ask anyone who knows something regarding this issue.... my petitioning hospital is in new york but we are planning to go first to california to see relatives. will there be any conflict regarding our port of entry. we already asked our employer's permission regarding this and they allowed us. we're just concern regarding having problems when we arrive there especially with the immigration officers. thankls! we will appreciate your help!!!!!!!!

hi! request for the DS 230 forms will come from the NVC. once they recieve the IV fee bills they'll start processing, and send in another letter, now requesting for you and each accompanying family members to fill up the DS230 forms. the wait will vary, for us, 2 months. any ds230 forms you can use as long as their the 2007 version. hope this helps you! good luck, it's worth all the wait

hi again. may i ask why would you like to request for a new appointment date? my agent requested that i reschedule my visa appointment because it is mentioned in my job offer and our contract that i will be petitioned as a registered nurse complete with all the exams before i get approved by the embassy (something like that, i forgot my agent's explanation already). i had friends who were able to go through the interview and had their visa without the nclex, as per employer/ agent and nurse agreement. they just took their exams upon arriving there. i think it's in your best interest why they told you not to reschedule anymore. my first intrvw date was nov 18, i cancelled it october 20 as instructed by my agent because i had no nclex. i passed the exam jan 25, so i i resheduled by calling the embassy hotline feb 6 (had to wait for the nclex hard copy of result). recieved the new sched 6 wks aftr, and scheduled april 18. it takes a while. hope this helps

hi. appointment letter (included with you packet 4 or the visa issuance package) will be sent depending who applied it for you. e.g. my first appointment letter was mailed to my agency in the US, though i need to reschedule it because i dont have an nclex yet. then the second notice was mailed directly to us, because i was the one who rescheduled it from the ebassy hotline. regarding police clearance, important only if you went there after the age of 16 and stayed there for more than 6 months. ask the concerned embassy how to procure the police clearance. regarding the skin disease... upon PE, the panel physician will decide whether it needs treatment and further examination. then they'll decide if they'll clear your child from the PE. good luck. hope these helps

for your physical examination... bring your appointment letter, have it photcopied for each applicant. then prepare 3 pcs 2x2 visa photos, $95 to be paid in peso multiplied to their exchange rate of 52pesos. also, be prepared to wait......... as in long waits. and the physical examination takes 2 solid days. you can go there few weeks ahead of your scheduled date. Had our PE last monday only. hope this helps you.
