  1. Hospitals that hire new grads?

    Ironclad replied to MerdalRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I have an advise to all new grads who can't find a job in MA. Don't waste your time! Go somewhere else! A lot of hospitals in other states offer relocation assistance. Go to new places, meet new...

    Ironclad replied to oct41974's topic in International Nursing

    Don't go to Michigan. Very soon, only CG holders and US citizens will be eligible for driver's license in that state http://blogs.ilw.com/gregsiskind/2008/01/michigan-commit.html all other will have...

  4. Advice - Graduating Aug 08 and relocating

    Ironclad replied to kjbsn2008's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I don't think it's realistic to get hired fast in your situation. I would suggest to take your board in FL and to get at least one year of experience there. Please, spend some time reading this...

  5. February Visa Bulletin

    Ironclad replied to letina's topic in International Nursing

    Yes, it was posted in 2006 and nothing has changed since then! There is no information on the Web about mysterious Memo, that nobody, but moderators of this website aware of. You could not provide a...

  6. February Visa Bulletin

    Ironclad replied to letina's topic in International Nursing

    The 10 day job posting notice has nothing to do with the individual applicant. A hospital has to place it on the board for the position, not for the individual. At some hospitals such notice is...

  7. February Visa Bulletin

    Ironclad replied to letina's topic in International Nursing

    I agree that they should require visascreen at the time I140/I-485 is filed. But so far it's OK to submit I-485 without it. The Immigration will issue the RFE later. Were did you get the information...

  8. Green card APPROVED!!!

    Ironclad replied to nurseMargo's topic in International Nursing

    As Suzanne has explained to you already, there no visas for nurses available at this time. Regardless of were you came from. It may or may not change in 2008. So far your only option is to apply for...

    Ironclad replied to letina's topic in International Nursing

    http://www.cgfns.org/sections/about/news/news/2006/08-11-06_vs.shtml Nothing changed since then, as far as I know. I could not find any information on the Web that it was changed

  10. February Visa Bulletin

    Ironclad replied to letina's topic in International Nursing

    Actually, as far as I know, one can apply for adjustment of status without VisaScreen Certificate, but the Immigration will issue an RFE and will not approve the petition without it. Many July/August...

  11. The MSN/EB2 situation

    Ironclad replied to klama78's topic in International Nursing

    I doubt that you will be able to get your opt after you get your bsn, since it's not just bsn, but bsn/msn

  12. Countries affected by Retrogression

    Ironclad replied to RNKay31's topic in International Nursing

    The DS published the statistics about EB visas used in FY 2006. The Philippines alone used 20,289 "Schedule A" visas in FY 2006. That's more then 40% of the quota used by the single country!...

  13. Internation student from US, apply for OPT

    Ironclad replied to Palm517's topic in International Nursing

    No second OPT will be granted by USCIS, that's for sure. You have only 60 days after graduation to either leave the country or continue attending the

  14. International Student: In Need Of Help And Advice, Please!

    Ironclad replied to !80s Love Child!'s topic in International Nursing

    New grads in many parts of the country have difficulty finding a first job, especially in big cities, California is not an exception. There is a shortage in those (mostly rural) areas where working...

  15. Name the hospital and its Starting Salary!!!

    Ironclad replied to amadime1's topic in New York Nursing

    That's because in place like Manhattan it costs up to $1,000/month to rent a parking spot. NYC is so crowded and expensive... And you can not compare NY climate to CA climate either... I've heard that...

  17. Soon to be a nursing student, looking for ways of moving to the US

    Ironclad replied to Jelena88's topic in International Nursing

    I don't think you understood what Suzanne said. In may make much longer then several years to immigrate to the US as a nurse. The situation may change in the future, of course. But at this time...

  18. Anything good about working in Texas?

    Ironclad replied to MBsGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Happy for you. Other posters on this forum are not so optimistic. I made my point. You think 1:8 for 20 bucks/hr is cool? Great. What else is good about working in

  19. Anything good about working in Texas?

    Ironclad replied to MBsGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Some people wrote about working conditions and the pay rate in TX, I wrote about working conditions and pay rate in California. In this respect TX seems to be significantly worse then California. In...

  20. Anything good about working in Texas?

    Ironclad replied to MBsGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Like you said, TX is big. If you have 1:6 ratio in your hospital it does not mean it works that way everywhere in Texas. But even if you have 1:6, that's 20 percent more work compare to other...

  21. Anything good about working in Texas?

    Ironclad replied to MBsGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm glad you like it over there. My point was that the ratios in Texas are not safe and nurses could be paid

  22. New grad salary in Boston hospitals?

    Ironclad replied to greygooseuria's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I have lived in Boston for five years. It's a nice city, but very, very, very expensive. Very difficult to find a decent apartment too. In 2005 I paid $1,250/month for my one bedroom (parking was...

  23. baltimore..what's it like

    Ironclad replied to kingedward's topic in Maryland Nursing

  24. Anything good about working in Texas?

    Ironclad replied to MBsGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    New nurses in Modesto make $34/hr. Nurses with experience make more. In fact, major hospitals in Modesto area give another pay increase for 4-5 dollars/hr this year. As far as I know new nurses in...

  25. Anything good about working in Texas?

    Ironclad replied to MBsGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I don't know how your calculator calculates. I live near Modesto, CA and I visited Laredo, TX last year too. Like I said, food and gas is about 10 to 20 percent more expensive in Modesto. I'm pretty...
