NewOldRN

Thank you very much that is exactly I wanted to know. :) And I will keep in mind to renew every 3 years. One know that I will need to do the endorsement to other state and will apply one in NJ... Thank you again.

Dear All nurses, please help me. I live in New Jersey and just passed NCLEX-RN, got license number from BON of NY. Now I want to begin my career by writing resume and find a job. I was a nurse from Taiwan with a college degree and worked as OB/GYN/Pediatrics nurse for one year and then change my career path, come to USA to study computer science with a master of science degree. Now because of many reason, I have to go back to nursing, passed RN and now I have questions in the hope that some one can give me an idea. 1. Do I have to renew my license period of time? How long after I got registration should I renew? Should I work strictly in NY State to get my NY license renewed or any hospital in US will be fine? 2. Because many years passed I do not work in nursing, I want use some resume service in hope of good resume helps, do you think this is logical choose? would some one recommend me one or two reputable services? 3. Because I have to use my foreign nursing degree to find a job which I heard will be quite a challenge, do you think my computer science degree helps? Would some one recommend one or two ways to find a job? should I work part time or full time first? (I can do either one) Thank you all very much for all your input.
