    US jobs for foreign nurses living in the US

    ghillbert replied to bettyboop22's topic in International Nursing

    You are not in the same position. You are Australian and can avail yourself of the E-3 visa. Your spouse can also work on the E-3D visa with an EAD and no job restrictions. Much better than

    Visa assistance?

    ghillbert replied to vcar001's topic in International Nursing

    Yes; depends on the RN position. My situation is not typical as I do not work in a "nursing only"

    How to obtain social security number in us for international nurses

    ghillbert replied to thomask4's topic in International Nursing

    Here is what I posted yesterday. It's still true today, and it's what the post about the SSA info says. You cannot get a SSN to give the CA BRN unless you have a valid visa which permits you to work...

    I Need Help to Prevent from Crying

    ghillbert replied to dcgrrl's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm a crier too - doesn't bother me at work, except if I get really angry. This sucks because being angry and confronting someone (esp male!), you don't get much respect if you're crying. Luckily this...

    EMTs

    ghillbert replied to shinobuchan's topic in International Nursing

    I'm guessing you're in the US. It is a totally different system here, as our population is so much smaller. It's not something you do while training to be something else over here, it's a more...

    Need help please...

    ghillbert replied to momentum2010's topic in International Nursing

    With all due respect, working as a volunteer or unlicensed caregiver is NOT the "same job" as working as a registered nurse under your own license. The fact that you even think that tells me that you...

    NCLEX passed, SSN says Valid for work only with INS authorization

    ghillbert replied to tyaky's topic in International Nursing

    As your SSN card clearly states, the number is only valid for work if you have "INS authorization" ie. a valid work visa from the former INS, now USCIS. You certainly do not get to bypass...

    Need help please...

    ghillbert replied to momentum2010's topic in International Nursing

    There's no such thing as "taking CGFNS". The NCLEX-RN is the nursing board exam for licensure in the US. Let me ask you - do YOU think someone who studied 15 years ago and never practised as a nurse...

    Can you transfer ATT between state boards?

    Questions about the visascreen certificate

    ghillbert replied to shibbee123's topic in International Nursing

    VSC does not go to USCIS, so I wouldn't worry about it. The box to tick is probably just for CGFNS'

    National Registration

    ghillbert replied to Sophia36's topic in International Nursing

    Regardless of whether you are in the union, you should have your own professional indemnity insurance. I have needed it before, and the union-provided lawyers were completely useless, and I had no way...

    Blindfolding: Is this an intervention or abuse?

    ghillbert replied to dicecream's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yes. The difference is, presumably you are competent to make your own decisions and agreed that this method was okay to try. When you are dealing with a vulnerable population, you cannot assume...

    Nurses not speaking english at work

    ghillbert replied to Guest296136's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps you could re-read my post, and this time don't ascribe intentions to me that I did not have? I didn't mention or "point to her as if SHE was the problem". Oftentimes, as adults, even if you...

    Obtaining the California RN license by proving ITIN intead of SSN

    ghillbert replied to Quark's topic in International Nursing

    Yes, the point is that they want to only give licenses to those who are legally permitted to work in the US, so it's logical that an ITIN isn't

    Nurses not speaking english at work

    ghillbert replied to Guest296136's topic in General Nursing
