I thought it was 16-20 but kaplan seems to think 24 is okay??? thanks!

I'm a student graduating in a couple months. Do you think I should join the ANA or the IL Nursing Association (my area) or both? What are the benefits and are these memberships really seen as beneficial on a resume? Thank you in advance for your a...

Does anyone know anything about these nursing programs??? Thanks so much! Sarah

I spoke with a recruiter from the reserves and he said they are not hiring even us educated foreign nurses that are working in the states now. Is is information wrong?? If so, who do I approach exactly? thanks so much in advance!!

What is conus backfill? Pardon my ignorance. What else did the recruiter say? Thanks so much in advance!

Is it possible to be non deployable in the army reserves and just do stuff in your home city?? Or given we have 2 active wars, is everyone potentially deployable? What exactly does the reserve entail and how long does the commitment tend to be? Th...

how exactly do we use a doppler to find bp and map??? new to dopplers - please advise. Thank you.

Thank you silverdragon as always for such a thoughtful response!! I'm currently on a tn and feel like I'll never move to something more permanent due to the long waiting times. How long does it take to get a green card if in the NP H1B category? Or...

I would think it would depend on the area you go into? Any truth to this? I just stared NP school after almost a year on the floor and have my sights set on a minute clinic or preferably a relatively low stress environment. Do these exist? Or is ...

For those nurses who have acquired H1Bs: who has sponsored you and under what position? Have they also filed for green card sponsorship as well? Thank you so much in advance. Does anyone know approximately how long it takes for canadian nurses to ...

Thank you so much for such a thorough response. I really appreciate it.

thinking of doing an FNP program in the states (here now) in case I'd like to work as an NP in Ontario later. I'm Canadian and concerned that my education won't translate unless I do an FNP as opposed to any of the other specialities. My primary in...

which courses are we supposed to take first? just applying now but it says to enroll for some courses already. Thank you!

Is the FNP program that just started fully accredited? How long does it take to get in, etc.? Thank you so much in advance. Just wanting to know I can pass the boards and get a license with it!!

Anyone know anything about this program? The interview process? How many clinical hours there are required? Thanks so much for your input.

would much prefer to work with adults but the consensus seems to be that you are more marketable in general with an fnp. Thoughts????? do not want to make a costly mistake!! thank you so much in advance.

What about getting an ANP in the states and then working as an NP in Canada? Must it be an FNP? would rather deal with adults only! Thanks!!!

I'm so glad you posted this as I'm rather curious as well. Thinking about getting an NP in the states - I am an RN here. IF I get my NP then move back to Canada (my home), can I do the same job as long as I pass the Canadian test? Or are there oth...

Not sure whether even worth it for my employer to file (if they even will) for green card if it will take so many years for it to materialize. Think I may be better gaining experience and then pursuing graduate degree or something different? Though...

Oh, wonderful!! Where are you from originally? Canada is a wonderful country - my home!!

Thank you as always SilverDragon!!! My concern is by the time retrogression is supposed to be done, the government will have changed the laws and the green card application won't even apply or something. Maybe this fear is highly unfounded. I don'...

Good luck to you! Don't know the details of your situation but hoping everything goes okay for you and you find something you love.

what is the shortest np program with the least amount of clinical hours? Eager to get off the floor as an RN!! Thanks in advance.

Mercedes, Thanks so much for such a thorough message! apprecitate it.

Hello! I cannot find the area on the form to denote that I meet the 212© exemption criteria. Any thoughts as to where I might locate this?? thank you!!
