2. Failed NCLEX-RN 1st Attempt

   mitcornsus replied to Profile1's topic in NCLEX

   OP, I'm sorry you didn't pass on 1st attempt. But I'm not sure why you want to play down people whose English is their second-language? It's nothing to do with English-as-2nd-language, it's just you, as an individual, didn't pass, for various reasons...

3. Relocate to where the jobs are?

   mitcornsus posted a topic in New Nurse

   Maybe a real silly question, just wondering, when people say they relocate to an area where jobs are plentiful, do they really physically move to that area, then look for jobs there, or do they look for jobs first, then move to there physically after...

   mitcornsus replied to kheynurse's topic in International

   I don't understand if nurses who are US citizens or green card holders have difficulty finding jobs, why do we need to import nurses from Phipino? It does not make sense for the USCIS to approve all these I140 at all. In fact, I think Schedule A occu...

7. Job opportunity for New Graduates?

   I'm graduating this May with an associate in Nursing from US. The job market for new graduates in US is very bad. I want to start working in ICU, ER, or Med-surg unit, but almost impossible at this time, too much competition. I have a friend who is ...
