1. Questioning about starting all over again at 50+

   Rad Student replied to iwanna's topic in Disabilities

   I have also been called a professional student, but it's not by choice! The jobs for life disappeared just about the time I earned my BA, so I never got one, and now no one does. Due to no safety net in the US, we are forced into that position.

2. California LVNs (after NCLEX)

   Rad Student replied to HeartJulz's topic in LPN/LVN

   For LVNs who went to school and took their NCLEX in CA: is there a way to take the NCLEX in CA, but get results sent to another state for licensing? Thanks, Rad Student

3. Questioning about starting all over again at 50+

   Rad Student replied to iwanna's topic in Disabilities

   If all goes well and I even get into the LVN program I'm pursuing, I won't be done until late 2009, and I'll be 53. And I have health issues, as anyone over 50 does. But there's no national healthcare here, there's no safety net. So I need to take ca...

4. OZ Immigration Policy

   Rad Student replied to Rad Student's topic in International

   Thanks, I did check the immigration site and even took their points test, which I failed due to my age. I mean, it's not like the UK, where there are limited resources. OZ has unlimited resources, and seemingly unlimited space. Oh, well, maybe I can ...

5. OZ Immigration Policy

   Rad Student posted a topic in International

   I've noticed the shortage of nurses, but am dismayed that I can't emigrate to OZ due to my age. I'm just in my 50's, am at the top of my nursing class, and want to work overseas. Europe prohibits me emigrating due to my age, and apparently so does Au...

6. Welcome to the Forum - General Aussie Chat

   Rad Student replied to gwenith's topic in Australia

   I posted about this before, but maybe not in the right place? Any sign of immigration policy changing, so that older nurses might be allowed to migrate to Australia from the US?

7. Ontario RPNs and Unions

   Rad Student replied to villers's topic in Canada

   Well can someone let me know why RPNs are in lower demand, because there seem to be a whole lot of unfilled (and unfillable!) RN jobs posted. Also, why do I see so many casual and part time jobs posted? With the shortage, no applicants are paying ser...

8. Interested in Australia

   Rad Student replied to Cali83's topic in Australia

   Any chance the new government will lift the ban on older nurses wanting to migrate?

9. Vancouver, BC- VCH vs. Fraser

   Rad Student replied to wasup's topic in International

   What about Interior Health? How slow and difficult are they?

10. How long should I wait before contacting?

    Rad Student replied to Californiadreamer's topic in International

    Hi, I'm new to the forum, and have 100% decided to apply to Canada first when I pass my NCLEX. I haven't seen a specific answer to this question: in which province would there be the fastest hire? And if it's Alberta or Saskatchewan, how could you (o...
