Wow Nearly three times more than you were earning in the UK that is some wage increase. When I left the UK I was an F grade and I was on a good wage and dont find the wages phenomanally larger here like you have found. I earn $35 an hour and an extra...

I looked after a pt this week who was an attempted suicide who transfered to the floor demanding her home pain meds-I explained that her home meds were not yet on the pixis yet and as soon as they were there I would give them to her.She pressed the ...

Interesting comments can I ask where you heard such information? Uk nurses do do a lot of total patient care but a large part of their role is pt care management and they do undertake a lot of the work that the social workers do here in the US. There...

I have followed your journey with interest and it certainly seems you have been shafted

There may be less patients but there certainly aint less work. In the Uk most areas the patients sleep, on the floors over here they can go down for CT's and MRI's thru the nite.

It seems to me that OGP are blackmailing their clients into signing an ammendment to their initial contract, now i wonder by law if this is acceptable unless both parties agree. Of course the blackmail bit is the fact that you will remain in the UK u...

I heard today that some OGP nurses in Jersey, are taking a class action law suit against OGP-after they arrived in this country their nursing licences ran out and it took OGP months to sort out and they didnt get paid during the time it took to sort ...

No I think it is only 2 weeks but dont quote me

This is a very interesting thread and I have watched it with interest since it began. Unfortunatly you are never really going to read on here how nurses have been used and abused by OGP. The main reason is that most of the unfortunate nurses who have...

From my experience a good nurse is a good nurse and it doesnt depend on where she/he comes from what color, race or religion they are. I do however expect and demand they speak in the language of the country they are living in, and that there should ...

I have just taken a job via a recuiter for Scotsdale healthcare. No sign on bonus but hourly rate ok.

Where abouts are you looking in Maricopa?

I have heard that they do bid shifts at Boswell Hospital, Arrowhead and it works well.

Yes I have to agree I heard much the same recently

Boswell Hospital in Sun city or Banner hospital in Scottsdale-does anybody know these hospitals or their reputation? I am in active talks with recruiters from both hospitals and I am contemplating my position. I live in Carefree so the travel would b...

Hi I am with the nurse recruiter at Shea Hospital Scottsdale, she seemed lovely I also looked at Boswell hospital near Sun city. Both are about same distance away from 101 loop. I am also wondering about JC Lincoln Deer valley

No I am not a new Grad, what hospital are we talking about and how much is a ref bonus? If I sign on how long would I have to sign on for

Ahhh go on lets make it a rant thread-no I am only joking. I agree 100% I have always appreciated CNA's and the more you appreciate them the more you work well together.

Help I need a job in phoenix any recommendations? Please

To be honest with NO I have been a nurse for many years since I was young and the job is becoming harder and harder, people moan and complain more now than they ever used to. No matter what is said to you on here about how wonderful nursing is, and i...

Anybody heard anything about Boswell Hospital, in Sun City?

I read that english-nurse is going to live there too, why dont you check in with her.

It is my understanding that you have to have been practicing as an LNC before you can undertake the AALNC. Also you do not need to be a VIP in the Vicki Milazzo course to pass, my friend never saw a scrap of paperwork prior to taking the course and n...

When I first used to VE, I used to feel the wall of the vagina rather than the cervix- I kid you not. One day it just clicked and I never looked back. I once did a VE on a ? labouring woman, after a very experienced midwife got her at 4 cm, and labou...

Rub the end of your nose from side to side=it feels like an uneffaced cervix
