    greyL posted a topic in Australia, New Zealand

    I've been trying to looks this up online but I haven't found any information on it. Does an NP certification have reciprocity between the US and Australia? Would a US NP have trouble in Australia or...

    greyL replied to greyL's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    I understand that you want to defend nurses in Australia, but it doesn't have to be at the expense of US nurses. I did not take folk dancing classes in nursing school.

    greyL replied to Katniss88's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    greyL replied to greyL's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  7. Interviewers like me, but I don't get hired. What's going on?

    greyL replied to greyL's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I understand that, but then why interview with me at all? Or why not tell me straight out that they're looking for a candidate with more experience. I just don't

  8. Do I need a Texas License before they'll even consider me?

    greyL replied to greyL's topic in Texas Nursing

  12. Dear new grad...

    greyL replied to smurfynursey's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    greyL replied to SophiaC76's topic in California Nursing
