  2. Topic of the Day: GO AWAY FOREIGN NURSES!

    LiverpoolJane replied to yoginurse2b's topic in Immigration Advice

    I don't think the fact that you moved to the US when you were 7 or 8 would lead to mis-assumptions. If I may draw your attention to a quote you made in a previous entry: "This IS America after all....

    LiverpoolJane replied to letina's topic in International Nursing

    You right - it is policy and I'm sure not just a local one, that anyone with TEDs on must have them removed daily to allow the skin integrity to be assessed. I've just deleted a paragraph of rant...

  6. Here we go again!

    LiverpoolJane replied to letina's topic in International Nursing

  10. Welcome to the forum - UK nurses chat

    LiverpoolJane replied to XB9S's topic in United Kingdom

    LiverpoolJane replied to XB9S's topic in United Kingdom

  13. Welcome to the forum - UK nurses chat

    LiverpoolJane replied to XB9S's topic in United Kingdom

    I think this is a fab idea - I never got to go on the chat room as it finished not long after I joined AN. I have not been active for a few weeks as have been a bit distracted with my dad - he found...

  14. Older UK nurse finding application confusing

    LiverpoolJane replied to Flojo64's topic in International Nursing

  15. "English Only" Rule at Work?

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

    Does that mean to say if you were one of five nurses on break and the other four were chatting amongst themselves in a language you didn't understand, you wouldn't feel a little uncomfortable? Put...

    LiverpoolJane replied to seriousnurse's topic in International Nursing

  20. Are Online RN to BSN programs accepted for US immigration?

    LiverpoolJane replied to berger's topic in International Nursing

    If you pass NCLEX and are looking for sponsorship for an employment based visa I don't think you would have anything to gain by doing a BSN. I'm no expert on the whole visa issue but it is clear that...

    LiverpoolJane replied to AandE angel's topic in International Nursing
