  1. Leaving the UK for greener pastures

    bizzymum919 replied to roxannekkb's topic in United Kingdom

    The conditions are bad all over really. I hear Canadian nurses complain of their conditions and I know nurses who have moves all over the US chasing the hope for a "better" hospital. The conditions...

  3. Nursing Grades

    bizzymum919 replied to bizzymum919's topic in International Nursing

    Perhaps the reasoning why the UK is only wanting BSN nurses from the US is because of the 3 yr program requirement. There are 3 yr diploma programs in the US that are associated with certain...

  4. Possibly Heading Down to the USA to See If the Grass Is Greener

    bizzymum919 replied to Near Done Nurse's topic in International Nursing

    The nursing shortage is worldwide and the opportunities for relocation and exploration are wide open. I would LOVE to move from Virginia to Canada, but the immigration is a bit hard and I am hearing...

  5. Nursing Grades

    bizzymum919 replied to bizzymum919's topic in International Nursing

    MikeRGN, I had to share portions of your reply with the nurses that I work with. I am going to finish school in May and that is a requirement in order for me to work as a carepartner. I know I am...

  6. Nursing Grades

    bizzymum919 replied to bizzymum919's topic in International Nursing

    True, but from the amount of patients, with assistants you will be able to complete the administration of meds on a timely manner, and you can get more things done without feeling burned out by the...

  7. Nursing Grades

    bizzymum919 replied to bizzymum919's topic in International Nursing

    When I hear about the A grade nurse, it reminds me of the CNA's/carepartners here in the US that assist the nurses, or a LPN who does the same thing as an RN, but cannot be a charge nurse and cannot...

  8. Mad cows, orange alert...scared?

    bizzymum919 replied to ernurse2244's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That was ONE cow that they found. Think about the many that they have

  9. Any nurses from Calgary... questions for ya!

    bizzymum919 replied to JohntravoltaRN's topic in International Nursing

    I am planning to relocate out of the US to either Canada or the UK (my home) and I have been reading some of the restrictions in Ontario about their BSN vs Diploma nurses and their new grad...

  10. Possibly Heading Down to the USA to See If the Grass Is Greener

    bizzymum919 replied to Near Done Nurse's topic in International Nursing

    The hospital experience depends on the area also. In the Southern states such as Texas, Virginia, Maryland, Florida and North Carolina the conditions are quite nice and they do have you shadow a...

  11. Help?? I want to get my BSN

    bizzymum919 replied to rii's topic in Virginia Nursing

    There is Old Dominion for an RN to BSN program. John Tyler CC and J. Sargeant Reynolds offer an ASN. Unfortunately the Richmond area is a bit limited for nursing programs so I would just apply to as...

  12. Homeward bound

    bizzymum919 replied to bizzymum919's topic in International Nursing

    I guess in the UK a RN is an RN. It does not matter how they got there, just as long as they made it. That is how it should

  13. Homeward bound

    bizzymum919 posted a topic in International Nursing

    I am British born and raised, but US educated and will be finishing my LPN in 05/04 and then going onto a RN program in Sept/04 and should finish by 2006 since I already have a BA degree. I am...

  14. Homeward bound

    bizzymum919 replied to bizzymum919's topic in International Nursing

    Again thank you Kay and thank you Anna for the web site. This really helps a lot. The US and Canada are only going for BSN nurses and really are pushing their RN's with ASN and Diplomas to get their...

  15. LPN seeking relocation to MD

    bizzymum919 replied to blady's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I live in the Richmond , VA area and there are a lot of jobs for "tweenies" (student nurses). I am a carepartner and I make decent money and as a carepartner they let you draw labs, perform wound...

  16. Help?? I want to get my BSN

    bizzymum919 replied to rii's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I should be finishing my LPN 05/04 and plan to go onto a RN program in the fall of 2004. I have the choices of Bonsecours, or VCU if I get in. The nurses I work with state that a Diploma program is...

  17. Homeward bound

    bizzymum919 replied to bizzymum919's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks for the reply. It is nice to know that I would not have to go through a lot of red tape to get back to the UK. I know the pay is low, but the pay is high here in the US due to the "material"...
