    Mike32110 replied to Mike32110's topic in Immigration Advice

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

    Mike32110 replied to Mike32110's topic in Immigration Advice

    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...

  9. TN then HB-1? Permenant residency question

    Mike32110 replied to Mike32110's topic in Immigration Advice

  12. Is it me, or is there a dichotomy for male nurses??

    Mike32110 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    Okay, just a random observation that I have had. I am in a fast-track nursing program, and of course there are very few guys. It seems like you can put guys into two big catagories: the one's with...

    Mike32110 replied to Mike32110's topic in International Nursing

    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...

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

    Mike32110 replied to mpolo's topic in General Students

    My experience is this: For girls in Nursing (I'm still in school) it offers little to no advantage being a male nurse, in fact it probably works against you. In my school, it's the same girls in the...

    Mike32110 replied to Mike32110's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Wow, I re-read my original post and now realize how horrible I sounded. Please, let me repost what I was trying to say, it should make a lot more sense. To call it a dichotomy implies men are either...

  19. Seeking advice: Where can I go in Canada to get lots of hours!

    Mike32110 replied to Mike32110's topic in International Nursing

    Well I am not so much concerned about OT, if I were able to get 4 casual jobs that would have me working 40-60 hours a week without OT, I would be more than happy. Is this a realistic

  20. Whats are the most difficult courses for nursing?

    Mike32110 replied to bebexoxo's topic in International Nursing

    IMO, pharm and patho are the two most intense, but everyone and every school is different. I did another degree before this and found Nursing to be pretty easy for the most part, but a totally...

  22. What type of a chance do I have of acceptance? :)

    Mike32110 replied to Mike32110's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA
