Hello, I am French and I am going to start my first job as RN in 3 weeks!!

Hi everyone, I am also new as RN.Can you tell me if you are earning more money during working week-ends and Holidays?I would like to know because one hospital told me that they don't give me more money if I work Holidays or Week-ends!!And they pay $1 extra per hour for night shifts.Is it the current rate? Thank you for your answer:)

Oh!I see....so next job I will certainly go for 12 hour shifts!! Thank you very much for your advice.:) Joun.

Hi Mischelle, I can tell you that this statement is true.I had an interview for Surgical unit and they told me exactly the same thing!!Unfortunately..... Good luck! Joun.

Hi everyone, I would be interested to know ,after how many years a nurse can obtain a night shift schedule of 10 or 12 hours?It is my first experience as RN and I took night shift(8 hours) instead of rotating days and nights.But,I don't think I can work more than 2 years with this schedule. Thank you for yours answers.

Hi everyone, I am happy to notice that some nurses share my opinion about the rotation day/night.Besides,I don't understand why it's difficult to find a 10/12hrs night shift in Med/Surg unit.It may solve the issues of night/day rotation! Good luck!:wink2: Joun.

Hi everyone, I would like to know if it's possible to obtain a RN position, 10/12 hrs night shift.,in Surgery or Medical Unit?I 've got my license as a registered nurse and actually,I am applying for a job.It seems that most of jobs opportunities are offering rotating shift?So,I was wondering if when you start your career as a nurse ,you have to work in 8hrs shift only and with rotation evenings/nights? Thanks a lot for your answers. Joun.

Hi everyone, Thank you very much for your concerns and advice.It's obviously a good idea to rescore and I will get my feedback! Good luck! Joun :wink2:

Hi everyone! I have really hard time to pass TSE exam!I failed for the third time but I guess ,I should continue to take this test until I get 50 score.I am actually living in Cleveland (Ohio) and unfortunately, we don't have IELTS center preparation or test center,the nearest is Chicago!If someone has any advice how to study or could recommend me materials,private teatcher,....Please ,let me know,I 'm really desperate.Thank you all for your good advice!Good luck! Joun

Thank you very much for your answer.Good luck! :) Joun.

Hi Everyone, I am in the same situation.I 've got the License from California and ask to endorse my License to get the License of Ohio.Do you know how many weeks should I wait for an answer or to get my temporary License?I am a foreign nurse,I'm going to take my english exams in couple of weeks,after that I can apply for job.I'm living in Shaker heights(Cleveland),if someone comes from this area,can you give me some advices about hospitals:between UHHS,Cleveland Clinic or Metrohealth,what would you choose?I would like to find a job in Medical or Research field.Thanks a lot!

Bonjour, I really enjoyed readind this thread!I'm joun and I am French.I am actually taking my English exams and passed the american RN license.I'm living in Cleveland(Ohio)!I think that you can find an agency which will hire you as a nurse assistant(aide soignant).I don't have the address of this agency but it was in Paris.The name of this agency was "Bastille".I remmember that because I was visiting nurse(when you give nursing care in patient's home) and I used to work with different kind of people from different agencies.So,try to find something to give care at home.Also,you can find a little job as a nursing assistant to take care of old persons it's a good way to improve your French and have money!Feel free to e-mail me if you need help!Good luck! Joun.
