The state of new york doesn't require SSN numbers. I would think just a short distance to Conn or New Jersey would open up some possibilities.

I tried to call the California Nursing Board today to verify this, but I could not get through. I heard an interesting message about state budget cuts causing the BON to be closed on Fridays. holycrossnursing.com's website posts information about gr...

In the past, California has allowed applicants to sit for the NCLEX-PN and granted licenses from the applicants who received their LPN/LVN education from the Philippines. I would suspect that most (maybe not all) state nursing boards would allow this...

I personally know a few Filipino nurses currently working as caregivers in Hong Kong right now that would love to be licensed in HK and work as nurses. I heard about a Canadian R.N. who wanted to be licensed in Hong Kong, and the nursing board told h...

I would actually disagree. I believe that LPN graduates from the Philippines can and do take the NCLEX-PN. I know of a green card holder that went to school in CDO and passed the NCLEX-PN for California. The problem is that there are no visas availab...

The New Hampshire Nursing Board requires the CGFNS process (credentials review, predictor exam, and english exam) for all foreign educated nurses. Unless your wife is an English major, I suspect she will need to study or take a class for the TOEFL/TW...

The Philippine nursing boards are only held twice a year, the next exam after July is December. If I were you, I would have my wife quit her job immediately, and pay for the best exam prep possible until December. A intensive 6 month review is not u...

When I refer to foreigner, I am referring to someone such as the poster who wanted to leave their country and work in the United States. An EEOC complaint does not apply because the company would have to recruit U.S. workers first, and the OSC has ju...

The 1000+ figure is from myvisajobs.com (I do not support this website), which lists the employer name in addition the the number of visas they are requesting. Labor certifications mean that the companies are requesting employees, not necessarily hir...

I agree with ghillbert. Hospitals for fy2010 have over 1000 labor certifications stating that they can not fill available positions (usually in critical care). I believe that many hospitals are facing budget constraints, and do not wish to invest in ...

You won't be denied the visa due to a pending immigrant visa, but you may be breaking a contract. Many nurses are currently in Canada or other countries trying to wait out retrogression.

If your fiance is flying jets, how often will he be in beijing. I would agree with other posters that I don't think you can work in China unless you take their nursing exam. I would check out Saipan, Guam, Marshall Islands (Kwajalein), or Singapore i...

If you passed the FPGEE and TOEFL, and the recruitment agency has approved contracts with the POEA, I would go for it. Prepare for 1000-1500 hours at a low salary, but after finishing the hours and passing the NAPLEX, you will be set.

So what happens if you are able to take and pass the NCLEX and are licensed by the CABON? Will you be able to endorse your license to Indiana? I would make sure you check the rules of Indiana BON about license endorsement in your particular situation...

I actually didn't understand the question. Is is possible to immigrate to the U.S. without a sponsor? No. It is possible to immigrate to the U.S. without a recruitment agency? Yes. It is likely? No. A EB3 or H1B visa will need a sponsoring employer ...

Is it possible to get a job with no experience? Yes. It is likely? No. Due to budget cuts, I think some U.S. hospitals are still hiring foreign experienced BSNs in critical care because it is cheaper than training a new grad. Since there has been a...

I was hoping someone would have more insight. In 2008 there were only 138 total nurse h1b applications nationwide. In 2009 there were over 1000. With new U.S. grads having difficulty about finding a job, and news of hospitals cutting staff or freezin...

Cambridge Global Services had 130 labor certifications approved last year and Medpro Staffing had over 200 for h1b nurses. Those two companies had more labor certifications than all other companies combined. I have no way to tell if any of those lc o...

This original post is strange. It states they are accreditated by CHAPS, and already have a medicare provider number and want to know how many patients for the certification survey. They would have already had the required census to be accreditated ...

You can actually a complete non-medical home health startup business package off of ebay for less than 100 bucks with probably 150+ files including how to answer phones, uniform deduction, marketing samples, business plan, and all forms for clients a...

Home health agencies startup became much more difficult starting in November of 2007 (fiscal year 2008) with state budget problems and the prioritizing of Medicare offices functions, with the initial certifications being placed at the bottom of the l...

I do believe that st. judes renal facility in Saipan is short on nurses, but I seriously doubt they are hiring and that they are helping people with work visas. Due to the transition of Saipan into federal immigration the only options for working are...

Yes, there is a nephrology certification, available through NNCC and NNCO which might be a good idea to receive in order to justify a H1B visa in the future. The certifications are not required to work in a dialysis center.

You might want to try to look at Guam Memorial, or the Northern Mariana Islands CHC Hospital.

I would actually agree with Silverdragon, you probably don't qualify for a H visa based on merely working as a dialysis nurse. You would need to be in an administrative position, have a certification such as in nephrology, or work in a hospital that ...
