    H1b Visa for nurses under FY 2010

    ghillbert replied to LemuelRN's topic in Immigration Advice

    It's not a new thing that a new grad won't meet the eligibility for a "specialty occupation" work visa - we tell people that on here all the time. Thanks for giving us your experience though, and I...

    H1B FY2012 for Registered Nurses in

    ghillbert replied to DOROTHEA.ZHOU's topic in International Nursing

    The difference is one was legally admitted into the country and one entered illegally without inspection. There's no difference in the fact that either is subject to deportation. I don't suggest you...

    ghillbert replied to WorldDay's topic in General Nursing

    Starting new NP job this week....this one's for mom...I hate cancer

    ghillbert replied to kyboyrn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You made me cry - I was also doing my NP degree when my mother was diagnosed with cancer, I took a break from school to move in and care for her, and she died, oh, it's 8 months now, unbelievably. I...

    DNP the new PhD

    ghillbert replied to enoRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    You're quite hung up on the teaching thing. No, that is not what I meant. I meant that the research is used and essentially "translated" by the DNP for use in clinical practice. As an example, we...

    Family NP or Adult acute care NP

    ghillbert replied to KatGoodman's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    there is no current single NP track that will permit you to see children and adults of all ages, plus be trained for acute ER/ICU. For acute care, you choose either adult ACNP, or pediatric AC-PNP....

    DNP the new PhD

    ghillbert replied to enoRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    My simplified explanation would be: PhDs do the research. DNPs use the research to improve

    Changing NP program part-way through

    ghillbert posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Has anyone switched schools/programs late in the program? How and why? My school has decided to offer a subject that has always been on my curriculum plan for Spring 2012 only this summer - so if I...

    Elevated INR without warfarin

    ghillbert replied to angelcantrell1985's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Elevated INR related to leg wound? That doesn't make much sense. Usual cause of elevated INR without anticoagulants is hepatic failure/insufficiency because INR reflects vitamin K-dependent clotting....

    ghillbert replied to LSindmajor's topic in International Nursing

    OP are you planning on immigrating based on marriage/fiancee visa? Or did you mean you wanted to immigrated on a work basis? You cannot immigrate as an LPN. As to requirements for theory/clinical...

    Graduate Level Pharmacology???

    ghillbert replied to MR2012's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I loved it, honestly. Yes, it was work but I found it really interesting. There's a lot of study and memorization, but I didn't find it "hard". I did it at the same time as advanced patho and did...

    quit my job woes, must rant!

    ghillbert replied to RNme123's topic in General Nursing

    Why do you feel terrible? Permitting others to determine how you feel about something is never a good idea. If you feel you have done everything "by the book", and this is the best for your career,...

    Family NP or Adult acute care NP

    ghillbert replied to KatGoodman's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you're going to be an NP for the money you might be disappointed... Which type to do for that environment sounds like Acute Care, but if you want to work at a children's hospital I am not sure why...

    I Think I Made a Mistake

    ghillbert replied to 4jen's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am working fulltime and in my final few semesters of NP school, and I won't kid you - it's very hard to fit in clinical with FT work. My uni requires 4- and 6-week blocks of clinicals in the past...

    Visa screens?? Australian nurse wanting to work in USA

    ghillbert replied to ehic2604's topic in Immigration Advice

    That is not correct to my knowledge. I don't think anyone can be expected to make up a list of hospitals for you. Apart from that, many hospitals post different staff nurse/"professional nurse"...

    Acute Care NP programs

    ghillbert replied to jedi88's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Most accredited MSN programs have an ACNP track now I think. You'd have to go through this and look for ACNP

    Visa screens?? Australian nurse wanting to work in USA

    ghillbert replied to ehic2604's topic in Immigration Advice

    You do not have to have many years experience in a specialty for E3. You need to be eligible for a job that requires a BSN as a minimum. Some US hospitals require nurses to have a BSN so that would...

    Compassion or reality for obese patients?

    ghillbert replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    Are you a nurse yourself, or a disgruntled patient? I can't imagine what sort of response you are looking for when you call nurses "bullies in scrubs".. when you're talking to nurses. Just because...

    Visa Screen for RN about to be MSN/FNP

    ghillbert replied to FNP 2011's topic in Immigration Advice

    Sorry, I don't know how to be any clearer - if you are applying for any employment based visa, you need the VSC. Where you are applying from is irrelevant. Only family-based visa applicants are exempt...

    Australian Student Wanting to Relocate to US.

    ghillbert replied to babyb's topic in International Nursing

    You would not get credit for prior study and would probably have to complete prerequisites too before being admitted to a BSN program. Ppl on student visa need to show evidence that they have...

    State Withholding License Because of Criminal Background

    ghillbert replied to xxmwxx's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I don't understand what your complaint is. You said you understand why they need the records, and you're sending them in. End of story, right? No point worrying about the outcome before you even know....
