  1. Changes to Immigration

    mushberry replied to littlefeet's topic in Canada

    well, that'd be nice, but I'm not going to chance it. If the immigration people are saying that you can't re-enter the country without the visascreen certificate after the 26th, then I'm not leaving...

  2. Changes to Immigration

    mushberry replied to littlefeet's topic in Canada

    The immigration officers told me that I could not leave the US, or I would not get back in without the certificate after the 26th of July, even though I have a TN. Maybe they were just being picky,...

  3. do you ever get comfortable with nudity

    mushberry replied to bogeydog's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm still not totally used to it, but I just finished nursing school. Women don't bother me nearly so much as men, but really, I just adopt sort of a business like attitude and get what needs to be...

  4. Specialize right away OR Med-Surg???

    mushberry replied to NurseyBaby'05's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm starting in a med/surg floor in about 2 weeks, fresh out of school. I chose that because I wanted to solidify a lot of my skills early on before specializing. But, I'll pass on some of what one...

  5. My NCLEX Disaster

    mushberry replied to amblessing's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I found out mine the next morning on the Minnesota board of nursing's site, by accident. I didn't realize it would be posted there, and when I logged in it had a yellow box saying "passed exam" on...

  6. Changes to Immigration

    mushberry replied to littlefeet's topic in Canada

    Yes, I start work in Nebraska on the 12th at the Nebraska Medical Center. I have my TN Visa and I'm licensed for Nebraska. I'm still waiting on my Visascreen, it's in process, about 1/2

  7. crossing the border..

    mushberry replied to beausud's topic in International Nursing

    Actually, something I learned when I crossed the border.... I just recently crossed the border in Houlton, Maine, to get my TN Visa. There, they told me that even though I currently hold a TN Visa...

  8. Changes to Immigration

    mushberry replied to littlefeet's topic in Canada

    Anything you could tell me would probably be helpful. I'm worried that if I got married, I'd be forced to apply for permanent residency, and my TN Visa would be void while that process was going...

  9. Changes to Immigration

    mushberry replied to littlefeet's topic in Canada

    This is an old post, I know, but I thought I'd respond...I could have gotten the fiance visa, but then I'd have to get married within 3 months of entering the country if I remember correctly, and I...

  10. How many graduates utilized the Kaplan review???

    mushberry replied to johnnrachel's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I used the Kaplan book, and I found it helpful, but I didn't hit any review classes so I couldn't comment on those. But the book itself was great, esp since it had a computerized practice test which...

  11. My NCLEX Disaster

    mushberry replied to amblessing's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I read elsewhere on these forums that someone said that the administrator for their exam had said he had never heard of someone failing at 75 questions...I felt the same way as you when I took my exam...

  12. Is my nursing license in jeopardy?

    mushberry replied to Pretzlgl's topic in General Nursing

    it seems scary. Probably your best bet is to follow...well, I don't know if you use this down there, but Perry and Potter's clinical skills and nursing techniques, the latest editions. That's what...

  13. WHAT do i need to pass the CNATS?!

    mushberry replied to princessjay's topic in International Nursing

    I passed my NCLEX, got cut off at 75 questions. I did find it harder than the questions in the books...I used the Kaplan 2003 guide, it was a blue book...that one had a CD test and a written one and...

  14. WHAT do i need to pass the CNATS?!

    mushberry replied to princessjay's topic in International Nursing

    I'm taking my CNATS/CRNE/whatever they're calling it now in 2 days, on Wednesday. I took my NCLEX too...if you were cut off at 75 questions, I've been told that's a good thing. I read elsewhere on...

  15. not funny, just nasty

    mushberry replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, not a great way to get kids to trust us, but at least the cartoon wasn't directed at children...it was directed at adults to make them laugh at what some kids might think of nurses. Obviously...

  16. Changes to Immigration

    mushberry replied to littlefeet's topic in Canada

    I will be getting my TN Visa when I cross the border in the end of June actually. And I just found out I passed my NCLEX!! Now THAT is good news. :D Honestly it's not really manipulating the...

  17. Changes to Immigration

    mushberry replied to littlefeet's topic in Canada

    No, what I'm saying is if you already have the contract...I already have a job in Nebraska starting June 28th. For me it was just a matter of manipulating the system slightly, finding the fastest way...

  18. Is there a faster way? :-/

    mushberry posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just finished my NCLEX...I apologize if there are 50 million threads just like this one that have been posted before on these boards, I only just started reading them...but anyway...I just took my...

  19. Is there a faster way? :-/

    mushberry replied to mushberry's topic in General Nursing

    I wish this was a perfect world...I read in an old thread on this board that someone said usually finishing in 75 questions is a good thing....here's to

  20. Is there a faster way? :-/

    mushberry replied to mushberry's topic in General Nursing

    I'm guessing that's three business

  21. Changes to Immigration

    mushberry replied to littlefeet's topic in Canada

    hmm, I'm a little confused. I know the Visascreen becomes mandatory...well, it already is, but some states are letting us start work without it provided we can start work before July 26th. I'm going...
