Could you tell me (if you don't mind), why you didn't like it there?

I am in no hurry to get to the US yet as I haven't saved enough money so I haven't really been current with the retrogression issues, but I just wanted to ask this. I am a UK born nurse, I140 approved October 2006 but I have been retrogressed to Janu...

That is the reality! A number of senior posts at my hospital no longer exist. Those people had to take voluntary redundancy. About 4 wards have been closed and the staff distributed around the hospital. Where I work, we currently have 6 CCU beds whic...

May the God that you believe in answer your prayers. May God grant the medics involved in your son's care the knowledge, wisdom and understanding to direct his care. In the name of Jesus, your son will be healed. I wish you and your family well. God ...

OMG!!! I did mine at Scotland Yard and it cost £20 but this was back in November. I can't believe they slapped £40 on top in such a short space of time. That's not right!

I'd love to see the photo gallery. How do you get to it?

This was ages ago, but if my memory serves me right, I think I got a letter asking for a number of things to obtain, transcripts and fingerprints were amongst them so they were asked for at the same time.

Yes. £20 at Scotland Yard.

My son who is 13 was quite looking forward to moving to the US when he thought it was going to happen very quickly. The longer the process has taken, the less enthusiast he has become. Every now and then, he comes up with an excuse for not wanting to...

It doesn't always have to be doom and gloom. It's nice to be able to laugh and smile once in a while.

Your post made me laugh especially the part about wishing for computerised doctors.:chuckle :chuckle :chuckle It seems to me that you are having a great time in your new homeland. It makes a change from the horror stories I read every now and then. ...

HELLOOO!!! There MUST be at least one person who works at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center out of over 150,000 members, right?[mouse]ABSMC[/mouse]

Yes, I passed NCLEX answering all the questions and like you I was petrified and worried about whether I would pass or not. It is possible so believe in yourself. Good luck.

What Have I Done To Deserve This? I Should Still Be In There Not Out Here!! Which One's My Dad? The Youngest Addict

This has been around for a while. It's on the nursing humor forum. It makes experienced nurses sound uncaring.

Slighty off topic, I know!!! Mrs Hubble nicknamed The Bubble because she was quite overweight. Not to her hearing of course! At work we would say "Miss Hitchcock is being a Witchcock or a B**chcock", depending on what mood she was in that day. Sarah...

I am with OGP and I have been told that it is essential that I obtain an international drivers license before I leave the UK, not only that, they also recommend that I secure a vehicle before leaving.

:thankya: Thank you Anon Nurse. You have given me so much information and there were quite a few things that I had'nt even thought of such as carpooling. That will be difficult for me as I don't know anybody there yet. Hopefully I will be living clos...

I will be working there soon and I just wanted some information about the facility. What was it like? Did you enjoy working there? Pay rates? That sort of thing.

While doing venipuncture I said "You'll feel a little prick" the female patient goes I had a big one last night. I didn't ask but did she mean a bigger needle or her boyfriend's got a big p***s.

Kids say the funniest things. "Boys have willies and girls have squashed willies".:lol_hitti

Hi there, I know this was written quite a while back but I am just wondering whether you found out what the RN hourly rates where as I will be starting an RN position at Alta Bates soon.
