  1. 2nd OPT?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to jell-e-belly's topic in International Nursing

    Please don't discredit yourself. There's nothing with romanticizing about the idea of you becoming a great nurse! If that's your goal then you should stick to it. If you have a passion for nursing...

  4. F1 Visa and OPT

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to jenn8500's topic in International Nursing

    If you can't find a job after the 90 days then what happens to your OPT? I don't think it's fair if it were invalid after 90 days when there aren't any jobs available at this

  5. UK Child Health Nurse - wanting to move to US

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to kirsten1987's topic in International Nursing

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Newusgradforeignnurs's topic in International Nursing

  7. UK Child Health Nurse - wanting to move to US

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to kirsten1987's topic in International Nursing

  9. Which states DO NOT require SSN?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to berger's topic in International Nursing

    Using an ITIN# isn't a substitute for a ss# in CA, that's a fact coming straight from the CA BRN. You can contact licensing and ask

  10. F1 student, Respiratory Therapist

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Aquarius85's topic in International Nursing

    In the hospital that I currently work for just had a position for RT, they didn't require experience. That position was either pulled or it was filled. Right now the hospital doesn't have the means...

  11. Which states DO NOT require SSN?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to berger's topic in International Nursing

  14. license expiration

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to aniv's topic in International Nursing

    While waiting you may want to have a back plan. Are you currently working as a RN in your home country? If not then you really need to consider gaining experience as a RN so you can keep your skills...

  15. Nursing & Pre-Nursing Students - Desired Area of Nursing?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to lil pixi's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It all depends on the area that you're in. Most areas don't utilize LVN/LPNs to their fullest. There are some that still hire and utilize LVN/LPNs to their fullest. If you work in a hospital where...

  19. Possible or far fetched?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Ace587RN's topic in International Nursing

    If he's on a tourist visa and he's working under the table then chances are he doesn't have a ss#. How he got his RN license in CA is beyond me, but then again, they do it illegally all the time by...

  20. Google did not help.. Can you?

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to mysticlad's topic in International Nursing

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to aniv's topic in International Nursing

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to cp11's topic in International Nursing

    If that's the truth then you should disclose it. Whether not it's a valid explanation isn't up to anybody on this board. It would be up to the CA BRN. They're pretty picky and choosy on what they...
