    How do I get along with my coworkers? new grad

    ghillbert replied to allthesmallthings's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Man, I wouldn't be sucking up to these witches. I would stand my ground and just say "listen, it should be clear that I was trying to help, but in future I will just let you know and you can handle it...

    HELP!!! Suggestions welcome

    ghillbert replied to nurseykaff's topic in International Nursing

    This looks to be a very easy assignment. You can pick ANY topic that interests you from your ward, and check out the evidence-based research available. Then compare what the EB research says to do,...

    Work in USA

    ghillbert replied to marcosnetrj's topic in International Nursing

    I hardly find the word "foreigner" offensive so much as your vile attitude. This is the "international" nursing forum. Why don't you go elsewhere since your opinion on international nurses is crystal...

    Are there some areas of nursing that are more upbeat than others?

    Who does this stuff? Really, you can't make it up!

    ghillbert replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    As the nurse, I'd be asking the daughter for her lawyer's contact details, and letting her know that I'd be suing her pretty damn fast when I got injured lifting her mother off the floor (and that I...

    Nursing US with Australian Registration

    ghillbert replied to lana25's topic in International Nursing

    1. No idea on mental health jobs; I don't work in that area. Looks like there are lots of jobs where I live, which is Pittsburgh. PA is a big state so you'd have to narrow down where your family live....

    Visa screens?? Australian nurse wanting to work in USA

    ghillbert replied to ehic2604's topic in Immigration Advice

    Of course, as for any "skilled professional" visa, the position must require a bachelor degree. I still don't understand how your friend got licensed or permission to sit NCLEX with no

    Instructor reamed me even though nurse said I did right thing..what do you think?

    ghillbert replied to Angels_wearScrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Really? Why are you so confrontational? What if they did need roxanol? Give it if ordered. Giving a sublingual medication is not giving a patient "something to drink".. if you don't know that, you...

    Can you sit for the NCLEX if you're an illegal immigrant?

    ghillbert replied to preciousbaby621's topic in International Nursing

    I don't see how - you have to provide SSN to the state to be able to apply for licensure most of the time. Although I guess some states don't require SSN until you renew. ITIN does not substitute for...

    Swiss RN starting off as CNA-question

    I would go so far as to say you cannot get sponsored as a CNA. Sponsorship generally for a work visa, which is the only type available right now, would require a bachelor degree of both you and the...

    You don't need to approach agencies if you want to work at the one hospital. Just contact the hospital directly and they should tell you if they sponsor overseas

    Australian New Grad.....Can I get a new grad position in Seattle Washington?

    ghillbert replied to RobynWoodland's topic in International Nursing

    The chances are slim to none. There is no advantage to the hospitals to hire a foreign trained nurse without experience. Particularly now, when US-trained new grads can't get

    ghillbert replied to HMartinho's topic in International Nursing

    If you just want to study in the US, the wage doesn't really matter. Yes, it's expensive to study as an international student as you will pay "out of state" tuition rates and you cannot work very...
