    Feeling bad because I didn't "go with my gut"

    ghillbert replied to LuVnLpN08's topic in General Nursing

    Coumadin most certainly IS indicated for thromboembolism prophylaxis, be it PE or DVT, particularly in very high risk patients. In fact, that's almost all it's used for! To prevent stroke/PE in...

    University of Melbourne Entry Level MSN Program

    ghillbert replied to esutton's topic in International Nursing

    MSN for CNS or NP in Australia? I would be very careful with that if I were you - NP in Australia does not equal NP in the US. If you plan to work as NP/CNS in the US, you'd be much better served...

    Folks coming into the USA to have babies

    ghillbert replied to chescat58, RNC-NIC's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    In Australia: Most children born in Australia before 20 August 1986 are Australian citizens by birth. Children born after that date are only Australian citizens if at least one parent was an...

    Hospital Sponsoships for International Nursing Students

    ghillbert replied to SandeepSandhu's topic in Immigration Advice

    If you're on an F1 visa, you need to ask your school about work. There are restrictions on what type and how many hours' work you can do, and generally it's only on-campus. It is easier to get a job...

    Some thoughts on getting a H-1 visa

    ghillbert replied to pchan's topic in International Nursing

    I do not think having new grads is in the spirit of the H1B visa. It may be approved, but I would be nervous if ever audited. My visa has the same requirements as the H1, and I know at interview they...

    US Nursing Schools Accepting International Students

    ghillbert replied to Alphu's topic in International Nursing

    They almost all accept international students, because they can charge you a lot more money for "out of state" or international fees. You really need to decide what you want to study, then choose a...

    Most lucrative nursing specialty in Australia

    ghillbert replied to UMAshtangi's topic in International Nursing

    I would venture to say there are NO specialties paying over $100Kpa. However, I have made close to that before when I worked permanent night shift, doing 12 hr shifts, then worked a lot of overtime. I...

    reciprocity

    ghillbert replied to bonnex's topic in International Nursing

    There is no reciprocity. There is a procedure for NYS called "licensure by endorsement". https://allnurses.com/new-york-nurses/ny-license-endorsement-299678.html http://www.op.nysed.gov/nurse3.pdf...

    Multiple Drips - Did I do the right thing?

    I don't think anyone is being critical, we are just thinking aloud what we could have done in response to the OP's question and

    Multiple Drips - Did I do the right thing?

    ghillbert replied to nursingdude78's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I would definitely have considered some volume if the patient was going into more rapid AF and has a poor ventricle/low EF. I don't think I would have used epi since increasing the HR would only make...

    US RN or FNP work in UK, Ireland, Scottland, Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand??

    ghillbert replied to emtneel's topic in International Nursing

    There are very few NPs in Australia and they are certainly not utilized anything like the US. As a NICU RN, you could easily earn $60-80Kpa depending on where, when, and how often you

    US RN Work In Queensland

    ghillbert replied to PMFB-RN's topic in International Nursing

    I do know some ADN-trained US RNs who work in Australia. Do you have a NZ nursing license already? ICU nursing in Australia is relatively similar to the US in terms of autonomy, although there are...

    How many years' experience do you have in nursing? In which areas? When are you looking to go over? There is a work visa for Australian citizens in specialty occupations (E-3) which you can research....

    I am well aware that a US RN doesn't require a bachelor degree. I work in a US hospital. I am not well aware that it's possible to immigrate to the US as a foreign nurse with less than a bachelor...

    Jacked Up Sodium

    ghillbert replied to OutlawNurse86's topic in General Nursing

    Normal saline is isotonic, it doesn't really increase sodium a whole lot, nor does it really cause fluid shifts. For a Na+ as low was 119-120, you definitely wanted the fluid restriction, slow...

    Multiple Drips - Did I do the right thing?

    ghillbert replied to nursingdude78's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    If I was concerned enough about tachycardia to stop/reduce dopamine, I wouldn't start epi, no, which generally has a far more severe tachycardic effect. Of course it's hard to 2nd guess from here,...
