Hello, Thank you and I will thank my husband for you. Nice of you to share AKnightRN. In Azores is there a school nurse, WIC nursing? I know here there's NMCRS Home Visiting Nurse and FFSC New Parent Community Support Nurse, but here they all want a BSN. Many military base have these resorces available to the military family, and you can try to volunteer there to get you foot in the door or at least some hours. I'm sorry that there isn't a military hospital there, is there a clinic? I'm glad to have met you. I will stay in touch, so when I'm in the states I'll let know how getting a job worked out of me.

Hello, I'm new to allnurses.com. I passed my NCLEX in October 2007 and a few weeks later moved to Italy because my husband is in the military. I have been here for two years this October, and haven't had a nursing job. I have been volunteering here at the Naval here but my volunteer work isn't really nursing work its more like blood pressures, temps, and using the doppler to find a fetal heart beat. I have been really discouraged here; I keep getting turned down for jobs because I don't have my BSN or I don't have 2 years experience. I have my ADN and working on my BSN; however, getting my BSN is hard for me being overseas because I'm not one that learns well over a computer. Since I've been here, I got my ACLS, PALS, and NRP. I'm not sure what to expect when I return to the states in a few months to find a nursing job, or if I will need to take a remedial class. I would like to know if anyone can give me some advice as to how to prepare myself before returning to the states to get a job.
