I'm in the San Joaquin County, but I don't mind moving as long as I can get a job.

Thanks, I was a surgeon in Russia. It seems like I'm forced into a corner. I have two kids and I have to work. A few New Grads programs have told me that I am not eligible for their programs because I got a degree in nursing in Russia in 1990. Then in 1996, I graduated from medical university. What else can I try since all places require one year of acute experience, and none will accept my experience in Russia.

Thank you !

Thank you so much for your response... I actually live in North California. But I would really appreciate any help! If you can reccomend any programs to me that would be great. Good luck getting your job!

I have been in the United States for eight years and I had both nursing & physician's education from Russia. I have had experience working as a phlebotomist and lab assistant here in the United States. Recently, however, I have decided to complete the Nursing Board requirements to become an RN in California. I had a defficiency in two classes, Mental Health and Maternity. I took these classes at a community college. After this, the Nursing Board gave me permission to take the NCLEX. I passed on my first try and got my licence. Now, I still don't have any calls or interviews from the employer, despite applying at multiple places. Do you think that this has to do with my history of being a physician on my resume? The jobs all say that they want experience, but where can I possibly get Nursing experience in the United States if I'm not being hired for any jobs? What can I do? Please help me! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
