  1. All NPs who were trained in US

    RNGrad2006 replied to ruri10743's topic in Immigration Advice

    Not sure what your options are but surprised you got accepted into a program with such limited experience. I just graduated from an FNP program last August. I would not recommend advancing education...

  2. What kind of visa can An acute care NP with DNP degree apply for Green card?

    RNGrad2006 replied to ruri10743's topic in Immigration Advice

    We contacted an attorney earlier this year. We were quoted 3-4 months. But it can vary when you are ready to apply. Since NPs also qualify for schedule A and can avoid the labor certification...

  3. What kind of visa can An acute care NP with DNP degree apply for Green card?

    RNGrad2006 replied to ruri10743's topic in Immigration Advice

    You do not need experience for EB2. All NP's qualify for NP since a Masters is required to practice. You don't even need to have a DNP...just a Masters level NP. But you will need to find an...

  4. Ontario RNs and RPNs

    RNGrad2006 replied to Ivgotsunshine22's topic in Canada

    Funny how things flip flop all the time. They completely phased our LPNs in Arizona now...at least in hospitals. I am interested to see how things are changing in Canada so frequent here every now...

  5. Jobs in calgary, ab...any to be had

    RNGrad2006 replied to courtney1987's topic in Canada

    The economy is bad in the US but I hear that is is GREAT in Texas....booming there actually with unemployment as low as 2.5%. I have had several recruiters contact me from Texas so think it might be...

  6. Request for visa assistance to a new employer.

    RNGrad2006 replied to mariaj's topic in Immigration Advice

    Which country are you from? It depends on if your category is current even if they agree to petition you for a green card. You would be able to file the I-140 even if the category is not current but...

  7. Help!! caribbean nurse desires to enroll as F1 student(LPN to RN student

    RNGrad2006 replied to Mkrb's topic in Immigration Advice

    Unless things have changed I did not have any problems enrolling as a F1 student. That was in Washington State. I did have some issues getting licensed there though as you needed a SSN in order to...

  8. Visa Screen

    RNGrad2006 replied to ann_menina's topic in Immigration Advice

    I think your best bet is continuing on your education to that of a Nurse Practitioner and then in most categories it is current and you can apply to EB2. You will still need a petitioner but they...

  10. What are the differences in job duties of a RPN/LPN in Canada vs. the U.S.?

    RNGrad2006 replied to studentnurse1989's topic in Canada

    I am in Arizona and it is hard for LPNS to get jobs. They have completely phased them out in my hospital. The LPNs were given a choice to either upgrade to an RN or take another position. Some of...

  11. Failed AANP

    RNGrad2006 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Does anyone know what happens if you fail AANP and pass ANCC on how the State Board of Nursing in Arizona handles this? Any advice what to do when you are very prepared yet unsuccessful. Does anyone...

  12. visa screen renewal - documents

    RNGrad2006 replied to amulam's topic in Immigration Advice

    I had to renew my Visa Screen already once since the process is sooooo much longer than it was in the 90s. The information I read about appeared to require all the same information but in the end all...

  13. Visa Screen

    RNGrad2006 replied to suzanne4's topic in Immigration Advice

    I applied for a green card back in July 2007 with so many others. Never thought we would still be waiting nearly 5 years later but it looks like it will still take a few more years. A few years ago...

  14. Nursing in the USA

    RNGrad2006 replied to sandgroper's topic in International Nursing

    That is generally true for new grads but with experience I have not really found that to be the case. The problem in my hospital currently is not an over supply of nurses but an under supply of...

  15. TN Visa Letter Format

    RNGrad2006 replied to NewGradRN2007's topic in Immigration Advice

    I also went to the school in the US and still had to do the Visascreen which is not something the hospital does but something you have to apply for from

  16. is it hard to get into clinical nursing with only floor nursing experience?

    RNGrad2006 replied to janice_c67's topic in Nursing Career

    2 months is not very long at all....and quite honestly it is a LOT harder to go from clinic to hospital than the other way

  18. abandoned petition by US employer-due for embassy interview

    RNGrad2006 replied to sophiabryan's topic in International Nursing

    Well I do work with a lot of IEN's currently but I was actually educated in the US. I understand it is difficult for new grads to get jobs these days but that does not seem to be the case for...

  19. NVC -CP- GC Tracker

    RNGrad2006 replied to dhel28's topic in Immigration Advice

    None of what is being proposed seems to be good for nursing especially for those in consular processing as employers can simply not wait the many years to bring those nurses over. Carrib RN are you...

  20. abandoned petition by US employer-due for embassy interview

    RNGrad2006 replied to sophiabryan's topic in International Nursing

    I hope you are right...there is much celebration already on Trackitt and the hatred and unprofessional behavior is disheartening. I just wish we could have a return to schedule A but then with the...

  21. abandoned petition by US employer-due for embassy interview

    RNGrad2006 replied to sophiabryan's topic in International Nursing

    Not sure if you have heard of the bill HR 3012 passing in Congress Nov 29 (as in yesterday) as it will dash the hopes for anyone to obtain a green card. The predictions are for the rest of the year...

  22. New grad RN (on F-1 visa) looking for jobs

    RNGrad2006 replied to VNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately with the timing and current difficulty to finding work a challenge for Americans it may be more difficult for you given your status. However, in 2006 when I graduated it was easy. As...

  23. NVC -CP- GC Tracker

    RNGrad2006 replied to dhel28's topic in Immigration Advice

    I was so thrilled it did not retrogress again and fun to be talking about VB dates with some level of hope. I am hoping we will get our green cards sometime next year but imagine it will take till...

    RNGrad2006 replied to sixthwannabe's topic in International Nursing

    Where does your family live in the US? Have you checked into fast track programs? Have you done part of your Nursing already and just wanting to do RN to BSN or are you starting from the beginning?...

  25. Are there any Canadians who completed their ADN and are now working in the USA?
