  1. Inexperienced Nurses: Unwanted?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to amphetamine's topic in International Nursing

    I wouldn't want to use the term unwanted. In the US they would rather go with experienced RNs as stated above because it's cost effective. Once economy gets kicking in the positive direction you...

  2. License Endorsement from California to Illinois

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Sairo's topic in International Nursing

    You can also try to email them. The phones are almost always busy. They are sometimes rude over the phone. At least that's on CA side. Things are constantly changing from the BRN websites, try...

  3. NCLEX Endorsement

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to amphetamine's topic in International Nursing

    Right now with all of the cutbacks it makes sense to require a ssn. The state BRNs need to focus on those who are authorized to work in the US. I agree with Silverdragon, I wouldn't surprise me that...

  4. License Endorsement from California to Illinois

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Sairo's topic in International Nursing

    Tell her to surf the Illinois BRN website as all of her answers should be there. If she still has questions tell her to contact the BRN

  5. Oversupply of RNs

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to amphetamine's topic in International Nursing

    There is an oversupply of RNs in the US. Chances of working here are slim to none. Reality is, focus on another area. I heard Canada is also experiencing something similar. As for Australia, I...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to zarina_1007's topic in Immigration Advice

    Yes, the US has an oversupply of RNs both domestically and those who have went abroad and have returned to the US. A lot of RNs are having issues finding jobs, both new & experienced. At this...

  8. are there hospitals in USA who accept foreign RN with little or no nursing experience

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to zarina_1007's topic in Immigration Advice

    I already posted that South Texas is an area where they seem to have new grad positions. This was a few a few months ago. It may have changed since then. The only thing about Texas is that there...

  9. are there hospitals in USA who accept foreign RN with little or no nursing experience

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to zarina_1007's topic in Immigration Advice

    There might be small pockets here and there that may have a shortage, but those are few and far between. Overall nationally, there isn't a nursing shortage at least where new grads are

  10. i need help

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to binuja's topic in International Nursing

    Contact the state of Texas BRN and ask them. I don't know why people don't sometimes just do the obvious. Good

  11. Thinking of going to Excelsior college- pros or cons?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to wender76's topic in Excelsior College

    Work as a LPN afterwards, and apply to Excelsior at the sametime. You can gain nursing experience as a LPN. I don't think you're setting up yourself for failure. If this is something you want to...

  12. How to become a certified RN in the US

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to chew4150's topic in International Nursing

    Try going to the BRN website of South Carolina and read up on the requirements for international nurses. That's your starting point. If you have any questions then contact them as they're the only...

  13. ATTENTION: Arkansas Board of Nursing Now Requires SSN

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Hushdawg's topic in International Nursing

    That's a question to ask the Arkansas BRN. I would assume that if they're requiring it for initial licensure, then they will require it for renewal also. I think the fair thing to do is to refund...

  14. Spanish Online anyone?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to chelleRN38's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Just a side note, if you want to prepare yourself for a foreign language class you might want to purchase some very inexpensive tools that will definately help you. I purchased Living Language...

  15. ATTENTION: Arkansas Board of Nursing Now Requires SSN

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Hushdawg's topic in International Nursing

    If they did spend money and if they are denied, then they should be refunded because the rule came into effect before they determined that a ss# will be

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Libby_09's topic in Philippines

    AHPRA, please don't be ashamed to be a Filipino nurse!!! You are who you are, and you should be proud of who you have become. Its not the fault of the students who want to become the nurses. It is...

  18. Is there really a job waiting for us Filipino nurses in the US?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to emptystreets27's topic in Philippines

    I agree with your post, but we also must realize that these nurses were filled with fairy tale stories from other nurses from their home country about how easy it was for them to come and work here....

  19. Hospital Sponsoships for International Nursing Students

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to SandeepSandhu's topic in Immigration Advice

    You may want to get in touch with your advisor from school. I believe there are those that specialize working with international students. They can provide you with tons of information. Good

  20. Information about International nursing license

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to periodical's topic in International Nursing

    It all depends on which state you're applying to. Each state has different requirements so you must find that state BON website and research on what you need to obtain licensure. If you have any...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to suzanne4's topic in Immigration Advice

    As a new grad BSN you don't qualify for a H1b visa. The visa requires a bachelors in a specialty along with several years experience in that specialty. A BSN isn't required for nursing here in the...

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to tiredgirl's topic in LPN to RN
