australiannursing.net which is based in England from what I've heard, was looking for specialty nurses specifically ITU nurses to be deployed in a Veterans Hospital. They will file about 30 nurses for premium processing to make the process faster. No...

been in contact with several agencies that recruits nurses for Aus. according to them, it's difficult now to find a hospital that is willing to give full relocation. If there are any, these are for positions that are based on the countryside.

to qualify for Australian licensure, foreign nurse applicant must pass the IELTS, scoring at least a 7 on each category.

whether it's used as a noun or as a verb, hype is not the right word. it doesn't make sense. what she meant was height which could also mean peak. to edit her post, i think what she's trying to say is..Is Australia really the best choice consideri...

hype or height ???:jester:

not sure about nursing homes....normally residential or nursing homes doesn't need acute care or specialty nurses. A managerial position perhaps but they still have to follow the Department of Labor guidelines before petitioning a foreign nurse.

There was this agency based in the UK who recruited nurses for the US on an H1B visa. They should have at least two years experience in a specialty area and have their VSC on hand. Basically, they are trying to recruit those nurses who are under retr...

Not dousing water on your hopes but i can't really understand how your employer can petition you without at least a U.S. nursing license. That's the first thing employers/lawyers asks from prospective employees before they start the process of H1B. Y...

it will be a good idea to contact your employers/agencies at this time to check the status of your application especially those with PD's of 2005.

So much for the present government's promise of protecting the NHS. They are not sacking staff but they are not hiring either. Nurses are already overworked and overstretched as it is...

after you take out the 40% tax, your travel fare and your lunch... it's not really worth the trouble. but sometimes,you have to do it bec. of the high cost of living in the UK. and it's going nowhere but up once the 20% V.A.T. takes effect by Januar...

Kabayan...be thankful with what you've got. Unemployment rate in the U.S. presently is around 10% so a lot of people are suffering whilst you moan about not getting enough challenge which to me sounds so ungrateful. You can always go for other roles ...

hope for the best but expect the worst....

is it to late to activate your union membership? you will need representation in case the problem goes further. good luck.

i'm not sure what's going to happen on your visa interview when they ask you for your VSC and you've got nothing to present them, Hope it won't lead to another set of delays.

You posted it yourself, there are still jobs no matter how far and between they are. At the end of the day, you can only tell them what the situation is but it is still up to them whether they want to go further or not.Unless Canada starts closing it...

All the poster is asking is some information about job prospects. It's immaterial what countries she has considered before. If there are really no job openings, then let her find out herself.

innocence is bliss. before posters start answering your questions, i suggest you follow the advise of silverdragon and medsurg to have a quick read so that you'll at least have an idea on what's going on in the field of nursing in the U.S.

great plan and intentions....but not really possible at the moment.

just wondering how much you've paid them. you know that you can do the processing yourself, don't you?

Very well explained, juan dela cruz. i'm not replying to this thread to pick up an argument but that is how I also understood what the threadstarter is trying to say. I also don't get what the OP is trying to drive at when she started the topic wi...

:lol2::lol2: great suggestion...

exactly my thoughts, juan de la cruz.

:):):) typical pinoy...always looking for a short-cut. lol

sorry...EB3 is what I mean..thanks for pointing that out.
