I hope someone here can help guide us in the correct direction. My wife has lived in the United States for 5 years. She graduated with a BSN in the Philippines 13 years ago she took the national nursing exam once right after she graduated & scor...

because she is not an RN in her home country. each state has their own rules

1/2 a million ??? definitely not. the average house is about $150,000 or less due to housing prices falling here. i have a job that involves a lot of driving, so not wanting to fill the pockets of the big oil company's too much i bought a Toyota coro...

well to make a long story short i married me sweetie on June 5TH She is a nurse in the philippines & after she gets her CR-1 visa will be moving to New Hampshire which is where I live. I am 39 & she is 27. we met online about a year & a h...

no not yet she will be arriving later in the year i just hope she doesn't end up working with ceridwyn:eek: piglett

i see that you are very hostile towards foreign nurseswhat exactly is it about them that you don't like??? maybe you are worried that they are 1. younger than you? 2. prettier than you? 3. smarter than you? 4. better overall than you? i just hope you...

hey i wasn't trying to offend or step on any toes. I have however had others that are in the health care field tell me that they are very impressed with pinay nurses. also a friend of mine fell off of a 2 story house roof & damaged his back in 14...

my sweetie only got a 74% & will have to retake it in July the state that i live in here in the USA says she doesn't really need it just CGFNS but i know she can pass this time & will feel much better once she does piglett

would you want to work 6 days a week 12 hours a day for $182 a month ???? NO , they don't either piglett

i would say that it was just a "bad fit" i have worked some places & i was loved other places i just didn't fit all that well with the others life goes on , good luck piglett

all i can say is ......W O W

I'm up in wolfeboro do you live in NH ?? piglett

hey it's late & i'm tired so the spelling is not exactly 100% whoops as far as my wife goes "pinay" nurses are know throughout the world for being as a group a very loving caring bunch. good night all piglett:yawn:

she said she doesn't want to sit around the house, she thought it would be very boring( these are her words) i hate debt & don't have/ will not have a credit card in my house. been there done that..... As far as the drivers permit goes, she ha...

No not at all, I have had my share of dealing with government bureaucrats. Many act like they are in slooooooow motion & i just have to stop & wonder to my self, if this person had to go out onto the private sector like most of us are & t...

I think there is something about not yet being on the list that prevents people from getting a SSN sooner than 2 weeks. when dealing with government always figure on it taking longer than they say. after all they have all the time in the world to jer...

thanks for everyone's input on this subject. there may be plenty of hoops to jump through but me & my sweetie are more than up to it :) thanks piglett

Well after asking this is what she replied " I have my bachelors degree in my 4 year course in nursing & i have also attended seminars related 2 nursing degree." so she didn't just take a nursing course, i think that's good news. piglett

Yes i am an american, lived here all my life. i know she did graduate but weather she holds a bachelor's degree or not .....i will have to ask that exact question. she is going to start a review class on Aug 9TH that lasts 2.5 months, then she ca...

Well thank you for everyone's input on this subject. so i guess there is no LPN in the philippines & she has not ever taken the test to become an RN there so i guess she is a nurse but not a RN? i am not really sure about how all of that works ov...

I guess that mite be a good idea, i am sure that there are foreign nurses working in my state so i can't be the 1st one with these questions, can I ??? thanks piglett
