    Australian nurse wanting to work in America

    ghillbert replied to Aussienurse123's topic in Immigration Advice

    E3 visas do not require sponsorship. You apply for it yourself. You need an employer to offer you a position but there is no "sponsorship" such as there is with an immigrant

    Are you ACTUALLY supervised???

    ghillbert replied to ICUnurseEst2015's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am an ACNP (in PA, not CA). I work in critical care. I have collaborating docs in my practice and we work hand in hand daily. It’s a different world in ICU but in my case, we split the 24 bed unit...

    Phd in Nursing and considering DNP, is it worth it?

    ghillbert replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in Nursing Career

    I know this is old but - absolutely NOT! There is no advantage to a DNP that you don't already have from your

    Any critical care NPs perform perc trachs? Any reason why we couldn't? Thoughts, input

    They asked me if my salary range was negotiable. I said no. Was I right to do that?

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

    Why is your range current salary plus $10k? What are your relative billing/reimbursements? Will you be making them money? They may have sticker shock if this is the first NP they have...

    Credentialing Reference Requirements

    ghillbert replied to SoFloNewNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think most new grads would not have that available - sounds

    Is it frowned upon by supervisors and coworkers if a new grad nurse pursues DNP?

    ghillbert replied to jeexrn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You usually apply for tuition assistance through HR or another separate department, not via your manager. I don't see it as a jealousy issue, but there's not much more irritating to a hiring...

    New nurse needs advice. Might be let go at end of orientation

    I think you're taking this a little too personally, or imbuing things into my post that I did not say or think. I just asked for more

    New nurse needs advice. Might be let go at end of orientation

    ghillbert replied to medapop's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps irrelevant to YOU, but that's your opinion. It's very relevant to me. It's a separate issue than the quality or lack thereof of the orientation process. It will most certainly be relevant to...

    Do pH nurses change their title to doctors?

    ghillbert replied to Future MSN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Absolutely not true. I work with MDs, DOs, DPT, PharmDs, scientists, engineers... if they have a doctorate and we are not on first name basis, I call them "Dr

    I'm not suggesting you are not competent for your role. I am saying that the FNP is not educationally or clinically prepared to work in an operative

    ghillbert replied to BrooksC's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You should want to do acute care if you want to take care of acutely ill adults, pulm or otherwise. Don't you want to learn about arterial blood gases, and invasive hemodynamics, and mechanical...

    New nurse needs advice. Might be let go at end of orientation

    ghillbert replied to medapop's topic in General Nursing

    What were the "few mistakes" that you don't see as a big deal since the discussion? What types of errors? I do not agree that it's "not a big deal" to be making repeated errors while orienting - is...

    Australian Nurse to USA

    ghillbert replied to jeff214's topic in Immigration Advice

    As a previous E3 holder, DEFINITELY do that. You do not want to do a green card process at this time. E3 costs the employer nothing, you pay the minimal fees and can get one anytime. Find an employer,...

    It would be much easier to find an employer and get an E3 visa than to commit to an agency. Do you have a visa or a SSN? This affects

    NP residency and salaries

    ghillbert replied to Sun1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't work in a full practice authority state, so I can't speak to that. I would NOT say procedure heavy jobs necessarily command more money - most NP jobs in my area at least are based on...

    NP residency and salaries

    ghillbert replied to Sun1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Salary is determined more by supply and demand than specialty, and varies widely by location. In my area, acute care jobs tend to pay more than family NP jobs, but they also often involve...
