congratulations EN great news

our shoes have to be either white, black or blue, closed toe, low heel etc. we are allowed to wear trainers also. I don't think we are supposed to but a lot still wear crocs (me included) but eventually they will ban them properly.

I have an interview next week for a band 6 post in general surgery. Ive been reading the info on here and have a good idea what to read up on, however i also have a presentation to do on 'how do we know we are delivering a high standard of care to ou...

I work in a community hospital which I would say was primarily elderly patients, our hospital is slightly different in that we do not generally have such acute patients as we are stuck out in a rural village with no medical cover out of hours, howeve...

scotland are also getting a national uniform http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Health/NHS-Scotland/uniform it has started to get rolled out and so far our SCN and CN have theirs. They are quite nice and certainly are comfy and cool. although a little...

if you read the news you will see that the NHS is actually cuting nursing jobs so there will be less job vacancies rather than more, in my health board alone it has been announced there will be approx 500 jobs lost, most of which will be nursing. The...

in my health board no-one is called sister anymore. The band 7 are called senior charge nurse, and the band 6 are charge nurses and registered nurses are staff nurses. My SCN hates being called 'sister'. In fact for the most part everyone is on first...

If i apply to a BON to do my NCLEX, then decide I want to go to a different state than my license is in, would i have to have my license endorsed before i apply to direct hire hosptials or could I do this whilst my green card is in process. I know wi...

Well I have finally started my application for my CES report. I have registered online and am just in the process of completing all the details. I take it i fill in the details as requested, pay my money then send all my copies of documentation to th...

as you may remeber i was started on the process of moving to the states but then came the massive stumbling block of not being able to get my transcripts from my uni or anywhere, so i had kind of come to the conclusion it wasn't happening. Now all of...

I've been looking into emigating to canada (us now off)and understand the basic steps needed to take. I am going to apply for the registration (with BC) and was just wondering if i get approved to take the exam/get a temp license how long will that a...

I am talking in particular of the UK ones such as Stateside, Catto, adevia, who work to get you a direct hire placement in a hospital rather than working for the agency themselves, such as OGP. If i sort out and get my NCLEX myself can i be registere...

I know there are some states that it is not recommended to apply for initial license too as they need a SSN to get a license and so can be difficult to endorse to a nother state from. I know California is one but are there any others?

^ months on and i am still no further in getting hold of my transcripts. I am going with an agency and they have been brilliant but the long and short is I cannot get hold of my transcripts. My university has lost, destroyed, or done something with a...

As you have proably read 6 months on and i am still getting nowhere what with probalems getting hold of transcripts, and getting someone to complete transcript summary forms, and also getting fingerprints done and al this before I have even really st...

I have posted about this on the UK forum but tought i would ask here too. Basically I have been trying for 6 months to get my transcripts from my nursing course from which i qualified from in 1997. It appears my uni has misplaced them or destroyed t...

thanks everyone At the moment because my agency uses New Mexico for licensure they are saying that they need a full set of transcripts and nothing else will do, however if i cannot get them and my agency decide they cannot help me, then it looks like...

I am waiting for the NMC (UK BON) to see if they have a copy of the transcripts, but they don't always seem to have everyone's and i'm not sure what to do if they don't. I don't have any transcripts myself as we were never given any, all we got was o...

what is this letter you are referring to AZhopeful? At the moment i have just requested my transcripts or any records they have relating to the hours i did in the various areas. If there are no transcripts should i be asking for some sort of letter t...

i have had some good news, i can get my fingerprints done in Edinburgh at the police headquaters and it will cost me £30 for 2 sets. They didn't even question it like all the other police stations I have contacted.

well i have contacted the NMC this morning and spoke to the lady responsible for doing transcripts. I have to put my requestin writing and she will send any information she has to me, if they have any. I am presuming that they should have something a...

A difficult posistion to be in Paris, I hope you get it sorted. I am in a similar position as your staff nurse, in that due to living far away from family, and having a husband who works a silly job and has to be away quite bit I canot work a full ti...

also meant to say that as I'm with an agency they are dealing with the notary, but i know if you need it done the embassises will do it, and certainly the US embassy in Edinburgh would be able.

I have come across nothing but problems trying to get fingerprints done also, I contacted my local police station and they basically said that they are not allowed to do them for anything other than visa purposes. I tried to explain it was for part o...

thanks everyone I have armed myself with a list of phone numbers and email contacts and will set to it tomorrow. I am going to see if i can get the NMC to send a copy of my transcripts to my agency or to me, if not I am going to get my school to requ...
