  1. H1-B visas

    Promin replied to suzanne4's topic in International Nursing

    Extension of H-1B status beyond 6-year limit is allowed in certain circumstances by law. http://www.murthy.com/news/n_h1bext.html Speaking about medical professionals I would like to mention...

  2. H1-B visas

    Promin replied to suzanne4's topic in International Nursing

    So, what is your point? I watched Mr. Dobbs' show once and don't have any desire to watch it again. His style is a good example of how not to run she show. They were talking about this situation with...

  3. Retrogression!!!

    Promin replied to paul_david_hewson's topic in Immigration Advice

    What is "not true"? Anything may happen in the future. The current quotas has not been changed for over ten years and simply does not meet the requirement of businesses. Besides, because of the way...

  4. Retrogression!!!

    Promin replied to paul_david_hewson's topic in Immigration Advice

    I think that wait time of 5+ years is possible for people from India, China, Mexico, and Philippines. For all others I think it should not exceed 3 years. And the U.S. Government may increase the...

  5. Work discrimination (or is it?) due to OPT expiration

    Promin replied to summerbummer21's topic in International Nursing

    Even if one applied for employment as a new grad having an EAD valid for only a year there is no way to get hired unless they apply to the hospital that is really short of nurses. And as we know those...

  6. Work discrimination (or is it?) due to OPT expiration

    Promin replied to summerbummer21's topic in International Nursing

    Actually, the second sentence of the first post says which means the author has passed NCLEX already. I agree that applying for a job as new grad for the couple of months make no sense. That's why...

  7. Work discrimination (or is it?) due to OPT expiration

    Promin replied to summerbummer21's topic in International Nursing

    CPT is not OPT. CPT is considered to be a part of curriculum and has nothing to do with OPT. Since Summerbummer21 has a license already (s)he can work under CPT at the hospital affiliated with the...

  8. Work discrimination (or is it?) due to OPT expiration

    Promin replied to summerbummer21's topic in International Nursing

    When one applies for OPT with USCIS the start day of OPT can be postponed up to 59 days after completion of studies because there is a 60-day grace period during which one can change status, change...

  9. Work discrimination (or is it?) due to OPT expiration

    Promin replied to summerbummer21's topic in International Nursing

    Actually, nobody is required to say anything about duration of their EAD unless asked. New nurses require 3-4 month of orientation and nobody will hire them on OPT considering the retrogression. So...

  10. Work discrimination (or is it?) due to OPT expiration

    Promin replied to summerbummer21's topic in International Nursing

    Summerbummer21 I understand that if frustrating, but why did you apply for this job if you had just one month of OPT left? How come that you wasted most of your OPT? Now, let me suggest something,...

  11. No new grad positions in Boston hospitals

    Promin replied to dfs1961's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Actually, you would be surprised if you knew that cost of living in Boston is comparable to that in San Francisco, only salaries in Boston are twice lower then in SF and no fixed nurse-to-patient...

  12. No new grad positions in Boston hospitals

    Promin replied to dfs1961's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    If you live in Arizona maybe you should consider California. If may area hospitals always hire new

  13. Ok, so where is the nursing shortage?

    Promin replied to BabySweetpea's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I have a friend who worked in Illinois and escaped from there to California. Besides low pay rate Illinois can also offer 8 to 9 patients per nurse which makes nurses run like crazy w/o even being...

  14. No new grad positions in Boston hospitals

    Promin replied to dfs1961's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    The same story here. After searching and applying in Mass for 3 month, just moved to Cali and got two job offers the next day! My hospital start new grads at

  15. Relief for retrogression hope???

    Promin replied to Yorkielover's topic in Immigration Advice

    First of all I'm not imagining, this is the reality. Second, if hospitals lobby for more schedule A visas that means they need those workers. The reason they need them is because they cost less. This...

  16. Relief for retrogression hope???

    Promin replied to Yorkielover's topic in Immigration Advice

    It's an interesting discussion here. A lot of wishful thinking from both sides. I think there are enough Americans who want to become nurses, but just like it was mentioned hundreds of times here...

  17. What's the pay scale for Houston and Dallas/FT Worth?

    Promin replied to JoeB1047's topic in Texas Nursing

    I live in California Central Valley were the cost of living and climate is comparable with that in Texas. The pay rate at my hospital starts at $35.25 plus $5 diff. for working nights. Overtime is...

  18. Is it nice to nurse in Australia??

    Promin replied to ozinjune's topic in International Nursing

    I would like to hear some comment about cost of living vs pay rate. Can nurses in Australia afford to buy a decent house? How much do you spend for the food,

  19. Nursing Students, prepare to get a job!!!

    Promin replied to kitten0509's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Angie O'Plasty, I did not address my post to you but let me tell you something. Moving was "not an option" for me either. But I reconsidered and re-adjusted my "options" of sitting and waiting for...

  20. Ok, so where is the nursing shortage?

    Promin replied to BabySweetpea's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    It seems like nurses don't get paid much in RI either. I've heard that the pay rate in NYC in pretty good. But the patient load may be quite high as

  21. Ok, so where is the nursing shortage?

    Promin replied to BabySweetpea's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Tinytessa31, how do you like it in RI? What's the average pay rate for nurses? What's the cost of living? How far are you from

  22. Ok, so where is the nursing shortage?

    Promin replied to BabySweetpea's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    She can not find the job because the ratios are not right. If Mass had ratios like Cali does, all the new grads had no problem getting a job. The best bet in this situation is to consider getting a...

  23. Canada or America?

    Promin replied to pinkblush's topic in International Nursing

    Silverdragon do you work as a nurse in Canada? How do you like the country overall compare to

  24. Ok, so where is the nursing shortage?

    Promin replied to BabySweetpea's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    You should not compare Massachusetts and California. California has established nurse-to-patient ratios and therefore require more nurses per 1000of population. Compare 6 patient per nurse and 5...

  25. Nursing Students, prepare to get a job!!!

    Promin replied to kitten0509's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Because you waited this long you lost: a. about 60K b. a year of experience c. you did not meet new interesting people and places I really encourage all new grads not to be afraid to move somewhere...
