  1. California nurses--- Do you REALLY get to eat meals?

    Kosmonavt replied to Riseupandnurse's topic in California Nursing

    In my hospital we get about 15 min for breakfast and 30 min for lunch. Unfortunately we have to cover for each other during breaks, which is a violation of the State law. Nevertheless, nurses always...

  3. LPN nurses and O.P.T.

    Kosmonavt replied to sweetlady10's topic in International Nursing

    Sorry, but your information is incorrect. CPT will not deduct time from OPT. CPT is not an OPT and has different elegibily criteria. One should not take a full-time CPT over a year, or otherwise (s)he...

  4. Stress related near breakdown

    Kosmonavt replied to inthesouthrn's topic in Health, Stress Management

    At the place where I work, per-diem is not an option anymore. Before, they would ask you to work an extra shift every other day, but nowadays even full-time employees are getting called off. I'm lucky...

  5. Modesto area hiring new grads?

    Kosmonavt replied to L&DForMe's topic in California Nursing

    I think it's really hard to tell what's going to happen in two years. For the last two years the job market here got much worse and I don't think it will get any better any time soon. You can go on...

  6. relocating to boston

    Kosmonavt replied to RNAMY's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Honestly, I think you have a chance to get a job. Experienced ICU nurses are ALWAYS in demand. I lived in Mass too, and had to relocate due to the tough job market. I go there to visit about every 6...

  7. CNA verse EMT-Basic

    Kosmonavt replied to amanda_leigh0221's topic in California Nursing

    I had worked as an EMT-B for a year before I got into the nursing school. I think at this time this is your best bet. The other thing you may try is to become a monitor tech or a unit secretary. I...

  8. Can you still take NCLEX with an expired tourist Visa

    Kosmonavt replied to killuwa's topic in International Nursing

    Wrong. Can not adjust status only if overstay is over 180 days. Wrong. Ineligible for change of status or extension of stay even after one day of overstay. P.S. Just like it was mentioned earlier,...

  9. They have spoken..

    Kosmonavt replied to SilverSurfer's topic in International Nursing

    You are from the country with a population of over 1 billion. Look what's going on with H-1B visas, there is no per-country quota and 75 percent of people coming on those visas are Indians. Does it...

  10. They have spoken..

    Kosmonavt replied to SilverSurfer's topic in International Nursing

    The biggest mistake with schedule A was that it did have per country quotas like all other EB visas. As a result 50,000 visas were exhausted in 1.5 years with 40 percent of the applicants coming from...

  11. ATTN: bay area RN new grads.. Were you able to land a new grad job?

    Kosmonavt replied to pogiboy67's topic in California Nursing

    It's not just difficult to a find job in Boston, it's virtually impossible, especially for new grads, and since 2006 it's getting worse and worse. Feel sorry for new grads

  12. ATTN: bay area RN new grads.. Were you able to land a new grad job?

    Kosmonavt replied to pogiboy67's topic in California Nursing

    I'm not CityKat, but I know the answer. If we are talking about NYC, new grads start there an about $75,000 per year. NY does not have mandated ratios and therefore be prepared to take a load of 7-8...

  13. ATTN: bay area RN new grads.. Were you able to land a new grad job?

    Kosmonavt replied to pogiboy67's topic in California Nursing

    Although the post I quoted was written over 2 month ago, I should say that 90 percent of it is not true. At this time hospitals are not able to bring any new hires from the abroad, because the...

  14. ATTN: bay area RN new grads.. Were you able to land a new grad job?

    Kosmonavt replied to pogiboy67's topic in California Nursing

    I don't know about other states, but Mass is NOT hiring, and nurses have a hard time getting jobs there. Also, states like AZ and CO may be hiring, but wages are much lower there. As far as I know, NY...

  15. What The Bleep Happened To The Shortage?

    Kosmonavt replied to Pedinurse888's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I can hear you. The hiring freeze in Boston has been in place for over 2 years now. It's funny, but in California it's been the same thing - low census, people are getting called off, and a hiring...

  16. Recession and Retrogression

    Kosmonavt replied to greenjungle's topic in International Nursing

    It seems like you don't understand the concept of retrogression. Visas are available for those who filed their papers in 2004-2005. So foreign nurses are moving to this country every single day. If...

  17. I am a US BSN graduate but I have been deported due to my family's immigration case.

    Kosmonavt replied to mo0nlessnights's topic in International Nursing

    I'm sorry Suzanne, but you are wrong. The Congressional Research Service (CRS), in an Apr. 6, 2006 report entitled "Immigration Enforcement Within the United States," offered the following:...

  18. I am a US BSN graduate but I have been deported due to my family's immigration case.

    Kosmonavt replied to mo0nlessnights's topic in International Nursing

    So what? It's not a criminal offense. Please explain how it's going to affect emigration to Canada should she decide to go

  19. What is Nurse:Patient ratio at your hospital?

    Kosmonavt replied to Ty-134's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Kind of late this year. Mass. Senate has already declined safe ratios, thus making hospital industry very happy. http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2008/07/state_senate_rejects_patientnu.html...

  20. CA to NY endoresing NLCEX-RN Result; NY Minimum Wage?

    Kosmonavt replied to mark22's topic in International Nursing

    $26.75 is nothing for NY. I think even new grads there start at $35+. Agencies pay

  21. I am a US BSN graduate but I have been deported due to my family's immigration case.

    Kosmonavt replied to mo0nlessnights's topic in International Nursing

    We understand that mo0nlessnights is in trouble. There is no need to say that over and over again. What is the solution? How she can get licensed in

  22. Nurse from New Jersey wanting to move to Australia

    Kosmonavt replied to blabberbrain's topic in International Nursing

    Thank you, but I'm in California, not NJ. Will write them a letter requesting verification of my current registration with California board of

  23. Nurse from New Jersey wanting to move to Australia

    Kosmonavt replied to blabberbrain's topic in International Nursing

    How long did it take for them to send the verification to Victoria board of nursing? Could you share the text of the letter, please? Also, do you think it's better to submit an application for...
