I hope what I'm about to do isn't a suicide mission. I earned my BSN in 2007, was in greater Los Angeles Area from late '07 to early '08. Back then, there were still plenty of opportunities, at least that's what I was led to believe in. Then, the ec...

i know it's already tough nowadays for american (and american-educated) nurses to find jobs in the us. and i know it will be a lot tougher for me (foreign nurse) but i'm still hopeful. i am licensed in ma and will be going back there on the 31st of d...

loveunltd i am completely aware of the visa retrogression (eb3). none of my friends were np's yet they were able to get the h1b visa some via change of status, others are even visa consular processing. haven't checked out tn. :) thanks for the advice...

a number of friends/batchmates were able to secure jobs even with little or no experience. They also required visa sponsorship (thru H1b). They had success stories amidst the economic downturn. This is why I'm still hopeful. Chances maybe slim but it...

thanks for the advice yesterday, i emailed children's and UT southwestern -dallas. Both hospitals' new grad internship/training for new grads in specialty areas are already full. A recuiter from children's told me to communicate with her on Feb 2011 ...

wonderful news! i just received an email from cgfns and my ces report is now issued! :) i filed it 31st of july btw!

when you purchase the CES online you will see which documents they were still able to use. :) In my case, CGFNS said my verification for license from my home country expires dec 2010. I filed my CES July 31, it's still under process.

no you dont need to send another set of documents if you're applying for CES as long as your documents have not expired. :)

thanks chinita. :) i hope i also get mine ine 4-6 weeks.

@chinita, i understand but i was asking how long was it before you receive this email confirming that your CES report has been issued? and may I ask when was this? 2009? 2010? I'm currently waiting for my CES to be issued and it's been exactly four w...

thanks chinita. are you done with your CES? did you also receive it in 4-6 weeks?
