Nice thread!

I work in OC also. What you decribed is happening at Anaheim memorial medical center. I think its to do with two things. The sale and the new Kaiser facilites in the area. Its annoying but theres other jobs around if you take the time to look.

Bumping^^^

Im interviewing with them in a few days. Im an Australian nurse. Any other opinions about the hospital????????????????????????????????????

I hate to bring this up again, but has anyone not signed the amendment? I have my visa appointment in two weeks time and they are saying they will not petition me without me signing it.... Im so stressed out about it!

G'day everyone. Im an Australian RN considering moving to NYC. I have a little over 3 years experience in a major teaching hospital in Sydney. I should have my greencard in 1-2 months. Is it realistic to think i can get a decent job, with a decent salery, and live in a decent area of NYC? Or am i just dreaming??

What are the odds of the july visa bulletin jumping forward 11 months for eb3 All Charge-ability Areas Except Those Listed? The April bulletin had this catagory retrogressed to Aug 2002. So in two months it has moved forward about 3 years.

Nice one! Lets hope for more movement in the next visa bulletin! My PD is April 24, 2006 so im still trapped. But it's good news anyway!

Sydney, Australia! Greatest country in the world! I would love to talk to any aussie nurse making the move to the USA. Im waiting for my packet 4. Cheers.

Can you all just relax. We get the 90 day thing ok, w e g e t i t... And the letter, OGP's just 'touching base' with their nurses. Relax.

Yes you do. 80 hours theory and 40 hours of practical.

At this point in time, getting to Australia would probably be much easier than moving to the USA. Also i think Australia is a much more tolerant society when compared to the USA. But thats just my opinion.

Your right. It just does not feel as clean cut as that. But it's a good way to look at it. Cheers.

I still have not signed. I havent had too much pressure put on me to do so. They keep telling me that the orginal contract states that they can amend it, but it does not. It states that both parties must agree in plain english. Also they want my reasons in writing, im reluctant to do so. I just wonder what will happen in the end? Has anybody been given an ultimatum? My first experience with going o/s, thus far has been a disaster, and i still havent even left home.....

Thanks for the advice people. I was aware that the job had to be posted for americans first. Also im not looking for a very specialised job, just any old surgical ward for now. Four months from start to finish seems pretty quick when compared to immigrant visa's which makes it tempting. But three things stop me from bothering right now. First im pretty far into the 'green card' process. And second it seems difficult to do it on my own. You know finding a job, liasing with the hospital etc.... and im with an agency.... I might just sweat out retrogression, which is the most frustating thing i have ever been exopsed to in my life. Thanks again
