  1. Moving California. Insight on pay scale etc?

    aabbccdd replied to Nurse4lifeNC's topic in General Nursing

    If you get a decent offer, go for it. Los Angeles is an exciting place to live. Don't believe all the nay Sayers here and see for yourself. This forum, like pretty much any forum or social platform is...

  2. Sobriety and NCLEX?

    aabbccdd replied to gchooljian's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Remember your key nursing school lesson: " If it is not documented, it never happened...." Same here, if there is no documentation regarding your abuse, then it never happened. Shut up and stop...

  3. Kicked out before even starting

    aabbccdd replied to Confused_nurse2b's topic in General Students

    Depends if the state in which she lives has a nurse title protection act. California does and you can't call yourself a nurse if you are not but some other states might

  4. Nursing speciality for someone that hates people

    aabbccdd replied to Gogol's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Go into research, you don't need 2 years of bedside experience, that is just a myth... I got into research right after I finished nursing school and most of my co-workers did not even have any...

  5. Realized floor nursing isn't for me, anything else i can do with a bsn?

    aabbccdd replied to enchantedlife's topic in General Students

    You could look into clinical research. Maybe start as a clinical research coordinator, they hire nurses, even with little or no bedside

  6. RN with ADN can have Green card???

    aabbccdd replied to Danielj0912's topic in Immigration Advice

    You should be able to apply for F1-OPT after you finished your ADN. This gives you the opportunity to work for 1 year in nursing after you graduate. It is virtually impossible right now to get...

  7. Job Hunt in the USA

    aabbccdd replied to fjmercado's topic in Immigration Advice

    It's bad being a F1 student but it's worse not having a SSN. One way to get a SSN is to enroll into a college (e.g. community college) and after being enrolled for one academic year (2 semester = 9...

  8. Hospitals sponsoring RNs for a H1b visa - help!!!

    aabbccdd replied to BennyBear's topic in Immigration Advice

    It is not advisable to go from F1 to greencard because of non-immigration intent status of F1. One of the the best ways is H1B to greencard. To get into H1B you have to find a niche. Either find a...

  9. F1 international student nurse problem

    aabbccdd replied to cocccocc1222's topic in Immigration Advice

    I also was an international student and I graduated from an ADN program back in 2010. I applied for OPT and since I had no choice I grabbed whatever I could get. I found ALL of my jobs on Craigslist....

  10. Unrealistic nursing students

    aabbccdd replied to dnsonthego's topic in General Nursing

    I find the comments of the original poster somewhat moralistic and righteous. People go into professions, such as nursing, for many reasons and there is nothing wrong to try to combine previous...

  11. Taking nclex in CA as an international student.

    aabbccdd replied to intbsn's topic in Nurse Registration

    Try to get an ON CAMPUS student job. If you get one, administration will likely give you a letter so you can apply for a SSN. Everybody who works needs to have a SSN, even if it is just a student job....

  12. how can a nurse in uk become a nurse in america and grant work permit

    aabbccdd replied to coolspirit9's topic in Nurse Registration

    Whatever education you acquired in the U.K. has also be evaluated as equivalent to a bachelor in the U.S. if you are trying to go the H1b route. If you don't have a formal bachelor education, then...

  13. So I might be going to China...

    aabbccdd replied to aithril's topic in First Year After Licensure

    this a difficult decision but it seems you are too readily considering only your fiances side of the story. if nursing is your passion and after you invested so much time to get there, why do you need...

  14. ASN vs. BSN pros/cons and POLL

    aabbccdd replied to keepaskingy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are not a nurse until you pass NCLEX and the sooner you have the chance to sit for NCLEX the better. Therefore, I would go for ADN, even if the market looks better for BSN in your area. Also,...

  15. I've Failed The NCLEX 8 Times & Now I'm about To Take It 1 More Time...

    aabbccdd replied to eutawville11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You need to analyze what went wrong the last 7 or 8 times you took this test. The test is challenging and tricky but after failing it that many times, I think you are not analyzing enough what went...

  16. International Nursing Student with OPT

    aabbccdd replied to Missgenny0210's topic in International Nursing

    Yes BSNSN, I understand your frustration. It is not easy to get a H1B but it is not impossible. Again, the requirements for H1B are 1. You have at least a bachelor. 2. The job has a minimum...

  17. Cedars-Sinai vs Keck Hospital of USC

    aabbccdd replied to rcon's topic in MICU, SICU

    Just my personal opinion, but you can tell that Cedars is not a University. The atmosphere at USC is more scholarly. I also think the benefits are better at USC. If you could see yourself work at both...

  18. International Nursing Student with OPT

    aabbccdd replied to Missgenny0210's topic in International Nursing

    "specialty in occupation" means (in general) that the position requires a bachelor. Therefore being "just" a bedside nurse would normally not be enough to get a H1b. However, management positions...

  19. International Nursing Student with OPT

    aabbccdd replied to Missgenny0210's topic in International Nursing

    Just a quick correction on this. An H1b DOES NOT require that a qualified us citizen or perm resident is hired

  20. International Nursing Student with OPT

    aabbccdd replied to Missgenny0210's topic in International Nursing

    Don't get hung-up on new grad positions.There are positions in healthcare and healthcare related fields that require a bachelor. The minimum requirements for H1b are 1. You have a bachelor 2. The...

  21. International Nursing Student with OPT

    aabbccdd replied to Missgenny0210's topic in International Nursing

    I-9: That's what employers do and it's perfectly fine because as an F1-OPT you have a working permit. H1b: Not normally used for nurses but can be used, depends on the position and the article you are...

  22. International Nursing Student with OPT

    aabbccdd replied to Missgenny0210's topic in International Nursing

    I was in the same situation, F1-OPT and needed a job. I applied everywhere to get some experience. It's true, getting into a new grad program is very difficult. However, I worked as a flu-nurse and in...

  23. International Nursing Student with OPT

    aabbccdd replied to Missgenny0210's topic in International Nursing

    When you apply, all they can legally ask is if you are able to work in the U.S. (...without needing a sponsor). The answer is: YES ! Although, the OPT has a time limit (1 year) it is a unrestricted...

  24. Nursing wages

    aabbccdd replied to Thankful RN,BSN's topic in General Nursing

    It's a little bit off topic but I saw you are a former chemist and I studied chemistry too before becoming a nurse. Anyway, to stay on topic, I became a clinical research coordinator after graduating...

  25. Nursing School Selection Process???

    aabbccdd replied to adampricecna's topic in General Nursing

    I understand that you are upset and frustrated but nursing school has become very competitive. At my school the minimum requirement to apply is a GPA of 2.5 in core science classes. Realistically,...
