  1. is it too late for everything?...

    LiverpoolJane replied to azil2010's topic in International Nursing

    Are you getting mixed up with Calif - who won't issue a license with a SS number and people were having to ask for an

  2. RCN has adopted a neutral stance on assisted suicide...

    LiverpoolJane replied to scared'o'needles!'s topic in International Nursing

    I think they did, as the RCN were opposed to assisted suicide not so long ago, then I heard a news report saying that in view of a small majority of members being for it they would take a neutral...

  3. What is the best path to take?

    LiverpoolJane replied to JTomlinson91's topic in International Nursing

    Hi Josh, I'm not sure where you are from but I'm guessing the US? As far as I am aware you would need the three year course and not one of the two year / accelerated ones as the number of clincal and...

  4. Interesting article about "diploma mills"

    LiverpoolJane replied to NurseCubanitaRN2b's topic in Immigration Advice

    I don't think people are in denial but rather trying to defend themselves against a peceived slur on their professionalism. I have read the article and I really don't think it is referring to nursing...

  5. Why Do So Many Non-Nurses Post in the "International Nursing "Forum?

    LiverpoolJane replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in International Nursing

    I agree with the sentiment that to be a member of AN you really should be a nurse. There is a UK site I am a member of and to join you have to provide your NMC PIN. Not sure if that is something...

  6. Things You'd Like To Tell Visitors . . . . and get away with it

    LiverpoolJane replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    How's mum? I've no idea, cos you're the 15th relative who's phoned in the last 30 minutes, so I haven't been able to get of the phone long enough to go see

  7. presentation advice

    LiverpoolJane replied to student_nurse1986's topic in International Nursing

    I am the same but I push myself to do it anyway. My last presentation was to a room full of senior nurses / managers including the new Director of Nursing services. I got that nervous I couldn't read...

  8. Things You'd Like To Tell Visitors . . . . and get away with it

    LiverpoolJane replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I would rather have no interaction with some of them at all. I would like there to be a trap door in the floor where they have to stand to use the intercom - when you see the on the CCTV who it is...

  9. How do you tell someone they smell bad?

    LiverpoolJane replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Very difficult and something I've not had to do. I would try and minimise embarrassment if possible and try to enquire firstly if they had some sort of skin complaint?? You could say that you...

  10. acute rehab vent

    LiverpoolJane replied to ayla2004's topic in International Nursing

    I suspect it will be different from Trust to Trust. In my last Trust we had rehab wards that were in effect like any other medical ward with "office hours" medical cover as well as the same access to...

  11. update on UK TO USA

    LiverpoolJane replied to cariad's topic in United Kingdom

    I only done 8 weeks clinical - 300 hours in total which was enough, I can't remember how many hours theory I did the minimum would have been 37.5 hours I

  12. update on UK TO USA

    LiverpoolJane replied to cariad's topic in United Kingdom

    You need to contact the California BONs website and complete the documents there. This will include a verification of education that needs to be completed by your old school of nursing, as like me...

  13. on the other side

    LiverpoolJane replied to cariad's topic in International Nursing

    I'm so sorry, this must be dreadful for you especially being so far away. I'm praying for a happy

  14. UK Hospitals Policies ???

    LiverpoolJane replied to Mia33's topic in International Nursing

    My previous hospital didn't allow mobile phones, it used to be said that they interfere with medical equipment. Now I think it is accepted that this is no longer the case but hospitals pay outside...

  15. update on UK TO USA

    LiverpoolJane replied to cariad's topic in United Kingdom

    Peter, you can have someone sponsor you without having passed your NCLEX, at least they can offer you sponsorship on the basis you pass your NCLEX, no papers can be filed until then. To apply for you...

  16. Desperately seeking America

    LiverpoolJane replied to studentnursebetty's topic in International Nursing

    As SD says this look grim at the moment. I passed NCLEX and have been approved for my greencard and I am sitting in what looks like a very long queue. What I would advise is that you get the ball...

  17. US Relaxes Visa Requirements

    LiverpoolJane replied to aeonflux14's topic in International Nursing

    Hi Alex, I'm not sure if I am or not and I don't know a whole lot about the subject. I think I'm right in saying the H1B is a temporary visa and not a greencard and I would have to apply for AOS??...

  18. US Relaxes Visa Requirements

    LiverpoolJane replied to aeonflux14's topic in International Nursing

    Narrowdots, this is just wishful thinking!! I have a sponsor and have my PD but there really are no visas and from what I understand the next figures will not be released until October. I have been...

  19. To all foreign nurses in the US, will you retire in US or go back to your homeland?

    LiverpoolJane replied to dhel28's topic in International Nursing

    OK now you've got me really hungry with all this talk of food and I'm going off topic. Can you get Fillipino food in the US anywhere like you can get at home and as I've never been to there but I...

  20. NHS urged to curb staff sickness

    LiverpoolJane replied to XB9S's topic in International Nursing

    Another thing that makes a mockery of the whole thing is that when you are off sick you still get paid axtra duty. When I was a very new ward manager I had a memeber of staff phone me to say she...

  21. NHS urged to curb staff sickness

    LiverpoolJane replied to XB9S's topic in International Nursing

    I've waited a few hours before replying to this thread as I am a hot head and tend to speak from the heart and it is sometimes in opposition to the majority. I have been a manager in the NHS and in...

  22. KSF Second gateway question

    LiverpoolJane replied to scared'o'needles!'s topic in International Nursing

    In my previous job I was a ward manager and had to complete a document after 6 months of qualifying to allow the new member of staff to move to the second increment. I had to sign to say that I could...

  23. DUMB QUESTION re: NP attire in UK

    LiverpoolJane replied to carolinapooh's topic in International Nursing

    The answer is they could wear anything depending on the hospital. The hospital I work in has quite a few NPs and some wear navy blue scrubs, another wears navy trousers and a pale blue tunic - which...

  24. KSF Second gateway question

    LiverpoolJane replied to scared'o'needles!'s topic in International Nursing

    My previuos trust did have a policy of band 5 nurses going through the first gateway after six months, I believe it is an option but don't know if it is mandatory for trusts to offer

  25. Help with Critical Commentary

    LiverpoolJane replied to LiverpoolJane's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks both for your input and the attachments. I think I'm getting stressed out as I'm conscious that I can waffle on and a lot of what I have included is also repeat in other bits of evidence. I...
