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.

Yes I am a BSN holder with 10 years of bedside RN experience. I was a programmer for 3 years before going into nursing. I am currently looking for an online MSN program that focuses on N.I. Sorry for the lack of info. Thanks again!

Looking into Chamberlain to do my Masters in Nursing informatics.. Is this an online program? I have a bachelor's in computer science... Would this be credited? Thanks!

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) uni...

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 Usually we just bring up old and outdated nursing procedures we did in nursing care through old photos we had.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 t...

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 ...

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 (...

send me a PM. Might be able to help you.

Generally, based on recent guidelines, it will depend on whatever credentials you might have. By credentials I mean, what is your accomplished certification? Are you registered from your country of origin? Do you have any experience with patient care...

Dealt in absolute eh? That's not helpful buddy. My opinion..? Just go for it sweetie. In my experience, back in 2009 (almost 6 years ago), we were told back home (the Philippines) that the U.S. will not be needing IENs in the next decade. FACT: I a...

Until you become current again ma'am. For now, it is very hard to say how things'll turn up. Try to watch October and November's VB, if the PD's continue to maintain a slow pace until the 1st quarter of 2016... Looks like we're back in the dark ages...

After all the insanity in Canada, I assure you things in the US will be far better.

why the hell should i waste my time living in a country who won't *******' give us foreign nurses or all skilled workers in that matter, a fighting chance? Just because our skin color is different and belong in a different creed instantaneously means...

Took me 4 years. From approval to the actual visa stamping

Okay here we go... Just to shed some light in the subject. i became a PR in Canada in June 2012. Lived in BC until May 2013, moved to Hamilton, Ontario the following month... Passed the RPN exams January 2014 (because I am an IEN). PRIOR to all of th...

I do believe in Unicorns! :) As well as psychosis. :-p Ignore 'em JusyBeachy. Because I believe in Unicorns so much, I just got approved for a green card to work in the states. So did six of my co-hires. We're just wrapping things up here in the Phil...

Not to burst your bubble, but clearly you have a much lesser chance of proving a clinical practice. Basically, CNO is looking for any general practice knowledge/experience. Another possible disaster is that they will (most likely) require you to enro...

Noted sir/ma'm. Thank you for reminding me. :-) I must admit, being patient and impervious should be on the top of my "to learn" list. ;-) Thanks a LOT for pointing this out.
