You don't need sponsorship for the TN, it's technically a status and not a visa. Instead of being stamped in as a visitor, you are stamped in with work privileges. The first thing you will need to do...
Like many others on here, I have just graduated with my FNP and am currently looking for a job. I have been contacted by several recruiters about locum positions. I am wondering, however, if this is a...
I'm looking at doing Hawaii next as well. Just wondering if anyone has shipped their car there instead of renting. Average cost is about $2200 to and from California. Last time I rented a car for an...

I have my CA license now.. I applied 3 years ago and was rejected bc of my missing SSN (they changed the rules between when I printed my forms and sent them in post NCLEX.. uggh). I reapplied in late...

You won't be able to get a Cali license without your American SSN, and I'm thinking TX may be the same. I'm also Canadian and started with my MN license bc it's the easiest for us to write for. Before...

There are mutliple discussions on here re: travel pay rates, and travel vs staff pay rates. From my own experience I've now learned that financially I'm better off to go back to being regular staff....
Just wanted to share what I've learned from doing the travel thing as an international candidate :) It's the recruiter not the agency that makes the difference. You want to make sure that whoever you...

From what I've learned so far travelling is that float pool and prn nurses make better rates than travellers, even with tax-frees factored in. We may be given a housing allowance, but unless you want...
Hey! I'm Canadian too and had the exact same issue. It's not so much that agencies won't hire you without an SSN, but it's getting your licenses without one. Many of the more popular state boards (ie...

I'm in a similar situation. I have been looking for jobs in the SFO area and was super excited that I was offered an assignment (12N), until they told me the pay rates. On the website they had it...
Ok, another question about San Fran jobs :) I've been looking at the postings with a couple different companies who list their hourly rates with the assignment details. They are between $31-35/h, but...
