Hi! I'm a foreign nurse with 6mos experience in my country. Just would like to know the going rate for RN's in L.A. I'm being offered 23.8/hr. Is this fair enough? I would highly appreciate your comments.

Hi everyone! I'm a foreign grad nurse looking for a job in US. Adevia is assisting me in looking for an employer. If you are familiar with this recruitment agency, I would appreciate your comments. Thanks so much....:)

Thank you, Gomer for all the advices and for patiently answering my questions. You've helped me so much. God bless...

Hi. Need info on how long it takes cgfns to process visa screening? I already have a file with them since I already have a cgfns certificate. Would it be an advantage? Thanks.

Thanks for the advise...Just wondering if you're familiar with the Hiring Nurse Group? They are the ones I'm dealing with. They also offered me a position in a psychiatric hospital. I'm quite hesitant about the offer. But I'm really having difficulty...

Yes I requested a copy of my result to be sent to ICHP. I also have an account with Cgfns but I guess it's not updated. I called them up this morning and I was put "on hold" for 30mins...then the operator told me he'll call me as soon as he finds my ...

That's really fast huh! I just hope I get lucky...By the way, do I need to ask ETS to send a copy of my TSE result? I took the TSE last year but I'm not sure if CGFNS has a copy of my result on file.

Hi, eperey. The rate that they gave me excludes night differential...I'm not sure if there's a weekend differential though. If you don't mind, which hospital in LA gave you that rate? Did you go through an agency?

It was the recruiter who gave me this rate. The company also promised to shoulder the lawyer's fees for the processing of my petition. Also promised to give me 3k as sign-on/relocation bonus...What do you think about it?

Hi! What's the difference between the two? Does time and a half apply to all night shifts? When does shift differential apply? I also heard about the term "blended rate". Please enlighten me... I know this is a simple question...I feel dumb:uhoh3: n...

Dear Kabayan, I myself am confused of what you really want for yourself. If you still intend to work in the US, I think you did the right thing. You take the Nclex and english exam first before coming back. Having a multiple visa is an advantage on y...

That's really good! You must be making really much money!LOL Anyway, thanks so much for patiently answering my querries. :-)

Thanks for that, batmik. Your definitions gave me a clearer idea now. Some more questions though, please bear with me. Is TIME AND A HALF mandatory to all institutions? Is it applied in excess of 8hrs if I go on a 12hr night shift duty? What if the r...

After 1month of waiting, I finally received the letter from CA-BON... I passed with 75 questions!!! You could not imagine what I was going through the whole time. Whew!!! Those were the longest days of my life. I'm so happy:chuckle GOD IS GOOD ALL TH...

Thank you for the inputs about adevia. They interviewed me yesterday and they are currently looking for a prospective employer. I'm just wondering about the benefits that they gave you. I hope you don't mind elaborating. Did they reimburse you with t...

Yeah I've heard stories about agencies getting cut from nurse's salaries. That's why I'm keen in choosing which one I should commit to. Thanks for the precaution, suzanne! :)

Hi! Anybody who took nclex in Ca this august and got their results? I'm extremely worried now. I took mine on Aug2 and still no mail from the BON. It has been 3 agonizing weeks of waiting. I don't have SSN and I don't know if they post your name if y...

Yeah, you're right! In fact, I called up the BON yesterday. I was told that my file is complete and they have the result but have not mailed it yet...won't say if its PASS or FAIL. She said I might probably receive it next week. Don't you have SSN to...

good for you! how i wish california has that kind of service but they don't. guess i have to strengthen my faith some more...

So I don't have a choice but wait for their mail then. I'm just praying that it would come soon...NOT KNOWING is really a TERRIBLE feeling. I'm practically waiting for the result EVERYDAY for the past 20days now. I'm in Cali right now on a B2 visa. ...
