    Anyone attend Deakin University distance learning?

    ghillbert replied to Aunurse1's topic in International Nursing

    You have a BSN? Do you mean a BN? I did the paeds module through Deakin (didn't need maternity). Just contact the professional development unit.

    IV drip dose error

    ghillbert replied to babbu's topic in MICU, SICU

    I don't agree that it's "no big deal" as every medication error is a big deal in my opinion. But - the patient wasn't harmed, so count it as a learning experience. You should learn something from the...

    taking a break from grad school

    ghillbert replied to meg2465's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Just make sure you will finish within 5 years from doing your pharm, I think that's a requirement for certification or licensure. I took 2 semesters off for family reasons, and it was fine. I got...

    ghillbert replied to FutureUofARN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Many schools are phasing out MSN courses now and starting BSN-DNP, there shouldn't be too much trouble finding one. I am at Pitt and I know they are accepting the last MSN students Fall 2011 then it's...

    H1B sponsoring nursing agencies?

    ghillbert replied to s_elliott52's topic in International Nursing

    How are you getting a SSN? When you say you're "waiting on" a SSN.. generally you cannot get a SSN until you are in the US with work authorization. Without a SSN you can't get a CA

    Is Australian BScNursing equivalent to BSN?

    ghillbert replied to pedicurn's topic in International Nursing

    Your question is twofold - will a US hospital treat you as a BSN (depends) and will a US school treat you as coming in with a bachelor degree (depends). For schools, it depends what subjects you did...

    IABP

    ghillbert replied to AnnieRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    They don't need to be 1:1 for the IABP - what staffing they need depends on how sick they are. People are not always "super sick" (comparatively) when they have an IABP - sometimes it is extra...

    Working toward e3 visa with questions on the way?

    ghillbert replied to grantsally1's topic in International Nursing

    As I mentioned before, I think, the CGFNS evaluation does NOT determine if you are eligible for an E3 (as in, bachelor degre equivalent). It is a hurdle required for licensure purposes. You can use...

    Under H4 to take NCLEX in NY

    ghillbert replied to phat's topic in International Nursing

    Obviously they know the restrictions of their own visa. They want to know the next step to be able to work here. The short answer is: you can't. There are no visas available for you. The long answer...

    Remembering Lab Values!

    ghillbert replied to jellybeany's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Repetition is how you memorize things. You have to figure out what method works for you - writing and rewriting, or taping it and replaying while you drive around, or making flash cards, or writing...

    International student looking for a good cheap university

    Working toward e3 visa with questions on the way?

    ghillbert replied to grantsally1's topic in International Nursing

    You are severely limiting your choices by going to only Magnet hospitals - you don't need to for the E3. All you need to do it show that your position requires a bachelor degree. I don't know if you...
