1. Has anyone recently migrated to the US (especially Florida) from Canada?

   Mike32110 replied to Mike32110's topic in Immigration

   I do appreciate your advice by the way. I just read something online that contradicted it, however, I read further and found out that there is an exception. I guess when I apply for jobs I'd have to write "Florida RN License in Progress (Pending SSN)...

   The only thing that has changed is that I was not aware I would need a SSN to get a license, and it seems that you CAN apply for a SSN in order to get a visa if you have proof that all other licensing requirements are met. I am going to talk with a c...

   Wow, I must have all my information wrong then? I thouht that the TN visa was pretty easy to get as a Canadian RN, and then you would go down there, get your license, and then apply for jobs WITH the TN visa? I thought that the HB-1 visa is the one t...

8. TN then HB-1? Permenant residency question

   Mike32110 replied to Mike32110's topic in Immigration

   I know that they are valid for up to 3 years, but could I apply for a HB-1 with my current employer at the time with the rationale that I am going with a TN to see if I like living in the US first, and if I do then I would appply for a HB-1? My unde...

    Mike32110 replied to Mike32110's topic in International

    Wow, well I will try and respond in a diplomatic way here. First of all, I was asking about areas with really high demand for Nurses in the US so I can get lots of hours. If Americans were willing to relocate to these regions to get a job then the de...

14. Are females attracted to male nurses....or just really laugh at the males doing this?
