Like.. just put down my sandwich and take the NCLEX right now? Heck no. I'll fail miserably. ?

Doing great! So far been here in the US for 6 years now. Experience has been awesome! Did travel nursing in the east coast for a while (didn’t like it). Currently residing in Texas, bought a house, couple of cars and stayed here for good. ?

Depends on YOE and specialty. Med surg RNs with 10 years gets around $45/$47 per hour. Depending on how good you bargain.

Hello all. I just wanted to get some of your thoughts regarding practicing as an RN in Texas, particularly in Houston Methodist MC. I am a currently practicing RN with over 6 years of MS experience in the field of orthopedics/neurology (stepdown) unit who recently got an offer to work at an orthopedic unit in HMMC, with the usual sign up and moving bonus. Is HMMC a good institution? Career advancement? Pay? Work hours? Unionized? Any information regarding the hospital (and Texas in general) would be really helpful. I'm still deciding if I am to accept the position... Thanks!

I understand your point. Thanks!

I used to have nursing photos during my early years in my country of origin that I still swap online with my colleagues back home. Usually we just bring up old and outdated nursing procedures we did in nursing care through old photos we had. Would this be included in a potential HIPAA violation? Even though the patient is not a US citizen? Your thoughts?

probably you'll start at $25/hr. At least that's the recent RN reclassification leads you to. Personally its a pile of bull.

Tell that to your employers. Lolz

Exactly my point. Obviously there are immigration obstacles, especially with the recent retrogression. Yet I find no fault in being "prepared" So if want this Ms. Weird Gal, go get it.

I rest my case.

You just handed her a one-sided opinion, without even considering the potential circumstance that a LOT of us experienced recently. It is NEVER HELPFUL if you merely put weight one side of the story. So how would you explain my/our experience? I was discouraged by the similar people like you, but I am an RN in the US right now. How'd that happen? And take note, the process wasn't that hard acquiring this job. I survived a series of interviews without difficulties and was hired eagerly by my employer. Clearly, I/we wer/was qualfied for the job. Because we had the credentials and abilities to back up what we offer. I have no idea why your employers give your locally educated RNs a hard time looking for work, as you boldly claim. You can present facts and even back it up with your so-called "truths" But you can't just rule out the possibilities of circumstances.

How's life you say? AWESOME! ;-) I failed the June 2006 NLE, which I am SO proud of. And passed the December exams. I got a job as a Nurse trainee the next year, was absorbed after a few months, became a regular staff and recently landed in the US ( a month ago) with an employer waiting for me. So far so good. :-)
