Suzanne, I just applied for California BON last month. Am I still allowed to apply to New York? I haven't received any eligibility letter yet and I I haven't scheduled for NCLEX in Pearsonvue. I know I cannot refund my money ($107) but it's okay. ...

Hi everyone! I'm a foreign graduate nurse and I've recently been offered a job in Texas.. Unfortunately, I have already sent my NCLEX application for California a month ago (shortly before I got the offer from Texas). Is it true that if I got my li...

Hi suzanne.. I really regret not reading this forum before I applied for the NCLEX exam.. I should have applied in NY... I applied in California already, about a month ago.. I have a few questions, I hope you can help me.. 1. I submitted an applicat...

Never......

Hi!! How long will be the training of a nurse anesthetist? If you're a foreign educated physician, will that have a slight advantage? Thanks :kiss

Hi! Thanks! I'm actually enrolled in a nursing program right now and hopefully by next year I'd graduate. In those 27 months of training, do I get paid? Some of my classmates are anesthesiologists who have been practising for years (here in my count...

He needs an antibiotic. Don't wait for it to grow larger or a fever to start. Redness around it means there's already cellulitis.

I've experienced that a lot of times too youngfemaledoc! I/m a 28 year old female physician here in my country. When I started practising, I really hated it when patients or even their relatives call me a nurse. They even ask me, " Miss, where's the ...

Thank you thank you Thank you!!! You're so nice 3rdshiftguy... :kiss

Hi gwenith!!! I prefer Filipino. :) Philippino spells more like an Italian word like capuccino... hmmm. Thanks for being so nice to us!!!!

Hey guys, I just read the whole thread and whew!... I just want to say, America is not the most racist country. Stories of racism are just isolated cases. I love America!!! As a Filipino, I feel the need to correct how most of you spell. It's Phili...

I agree with you that foreign doctors are badly needed in their country. There's really a shortage of doctors as well as nurses in third world countries. But, majority of them are not martyrs. I believe they also have mouths to feed. Their families ...

The salary has been raised, i think, but why is still there a shortage? Why do US RNs want to work in another field?

Hi! I think his symptoms point more on the GI system. The doctor would just want to rule out a heart problem. A normal upper GI doesn't mean there's no problem with the GI. Gastroesophageal reflux and Gastritis can't be diagnosed with an upper GI. Av...

Hi! Miscarriage usually presents with bleeding. You need to have an ultrasound. Consult your OB, cramping is not normal in the first trimester of pregnancy.

Hi! The symptoms are vague, won't point to a single diagnosis. It could be infectious or allergic. He needs a thorough laboratory work-up. He may also have a weak immune system.

Hi! Until when do you think there would be a shortage of nurses?

Hi! RN to MD??? Think about it. I'm an MD to RN! It took me 9 years to become a doctor and I don't regret it. I love studying, learning new things and even hospital works. We were actually like nurses when I was a clerk. I just hate the reprimands I ...

Thank You cheerfuldoer!!!! :kiss

HAPPY NEW YEAR to EVERYONE!!!! As a nurse, what would be your New year's Resolution?

Welcome! I'm new too, just started 5 days ago. You'll get addicted to this site!!! Enjoy! :kiss

Many foreign-educated doctors becoming nurses. So what? They have the right to do whatever they want with their lives. I wonder why some people are so mean to them. In my country, they study for two years before getting an RN license, I think that's ...

Great thanks to all who wrote and supported frustrated souls like me. The feeling I get when saving lives (especially in the ER) is very much rewarding, but I have to save myself too!... haha from starvation. I LOVE NURSES!!!

That's a good one! Funny though, I'm a doctor who wants to be a nurse. Can I join your dream hospital? I'd love to be in your staff> :kiss

Hi! I'm an MD and currently enrolled in a nursing school for doctors (2 year course) here in my country. I'm working as a general physician and the salary is really pathetic. I feel lucky that I had realized this early (I'm only 28) because my cla...
