Hello Jennylee and Inthecosmos. Well, i just came across a job post on some jobsite that the hospital is looking for nurses for hyperbaric and wound care, which means there is a vacancy. I applied, and got a reply. But when they found out that I am a...

Hello fellow nurses. Excuse this long post, but I just don't know how to go about my situation and would like to ask for your insights. I am a foreign RN recently hired by a hospital in the United States. I prefer not to mention the name of the hosp...

Hi everyone. I will be starting in a new hospital here in the US after working in my previous institution for about 5 years. Since I am a foreign nurse, and this will be my first hospital in the US, I would like to get an idea about the acute care se...

I am a foreign educated nurse and passed the NCLEX-RN under Florida BON. However, I have no active license because I am required to have a SSN to register my license. Now, my employer will be a hospital in Missouri so I am currently looking into gett...

Hi NurseBlaq. Florida BON allows nurses to take the NCLEX but will not issue a license unless a SSN is available. So technically, even after passing the NCLEX, I still am not a RN in Florida. I guess license endorsement only applies if I have a RN l...

I know some Filipino nurses who work in the states and they all seem to live a lavish lifestyle-- vacations, BMW cars, luxury items like expensive purses, closets at par with Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City, just to name a few. I sometimes wonder...

Hello everyone, im currently waiting on my ATT before I can get a schedule for my NCLEX but Im currently planning to sit for the test late July or early August. That leaves me about 2 months to study. I have barely studied yet and just answer questio...

My test will be at the end of this month. I am really freaking out. I only have uworld and have been getting scores ranging from high 50s to 70. I still have over 1000 questions more to go and I feel like i am running out of time with so much topics ...

Im taking the nclex end of July and Im freaking out. I feel like i have so much to study more and barely scratched the surface. Right now i focus on uworld and still have over 1000 questions more to go. I want to get this over with, but part of me f...

I am applying for the NCLEX now and yet to get my ATT. I have been trying to answer some review questions but I feel like none of the items I study are retained, and I dont seem to have the motivation to really study, and dont know where to start. I...

Ive been working in a wound care and hyperbaric unit in my hospital, so now i do both wounds and drive chambers. Im looking to get certified, but our hospital would only fund for Certification througg IIWCC international Interprofessional wound car...

Im aware this is an old post. But I have the same questions in mind now. Did you get to pursue your wound care education? How was it?

How does a nurse become a wound care APN or a CNS in wound care? What are the pathways?

I currently work in the Middle East as a staff nurse, and posted in a Hyperbaric and Advanced wound care unit. I have no certification on both specialization but have been working in this unit for the past 2 years. I am looking at getting certified i...

Where do you work as a wound care nurse? In our wound care unit, we use either normal saline or a cleaning solution form a company I cannot "advertise" here. We usually just irrigate the wounds, and soak the wound bed for a few minutes with a piece o...

I have been a RN for almost a decade now. I was one of those lucky ones who were able to land a job after graduation. I have worked in 3 hospitals so far and in this third one, I have the same discontented feeling again and have the urge to resign. T...

I moved to the middle east for my fiance. When I meant having to deal with admin/HR, it pertains to paperworks that needs to go through them; They move so slow, the word urgent doesnt even exist in their vocabulary; Policies and protocols that change...

Hello everyone. So I was just recently hired in my new hospital and much to my surprise I was assigned in the Hyperbaric Unit. I did not even show interest on this area, and have never had any experience driving a chamber before. I thought I'll give ...

I have always wanted be an ICU nurse and eventually get into cath lab or anesthesia school (also because I'm tired of having to deal with more than 5 patients in a crazy busy medical floor), but never had the opportunity to even get a foot in the doo...

Hello everyone. I have just been offered a job in one busy acute hospital in Saudi Arabia, so I did a little research about this place and there were several nurses complaining about the hospital, the Director of Nursing and some colleagues. Work con...

Sure we can be friends.. but due to security reasons I think its best not to post any info about you online... :)

There's visa cap for RNs under FSW, as you have already read in the CIC website.. Also, there's hiring freeze everywhere. Even Canadian trained nurses are having hard time finding jobs.
