  1. Anyone having trouble getting hired??

    Snowleopard replied to skydancer7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If you are ready to rock and roll after 1 day of orientation, I would suggest to go with nursing agency. Plenty of opportunities right now. The pay is good. You do not have to relocate if hospitals in...

  2. Has anyone left nursing job due to COVID19 virus?

    Snowleopard replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in Disaster Preparation

    At my facility in Western Mass we are expected to use the same N95 for the entire shift. But now they want us to use one N95 per WEEK. If it gets to that point - I am

  3. Is it Possible to use Travel Nursing as a Way to Relocate?

    Snowleopard replied to 4jen's topic in Travel

    I know people who did that and I think that's not a bad idea. This way you know if you like the place and they know if they like you. This is a good, low risk option, in my

  4. U.S. nurses sponsership

    Snowleopard replied to JohnsonRN29's topic in Immigration Advice

    If you have your BSN from the U.S. college, did you apply for your OPT? If so, you will get one year of employment authorization, and then one more year once you finish your MSN. The catch her is that...

  5. Cost of Greencard (EB3)?

    Snowleopard replied to candabeth's topic in International Nursing

    candabeth, I think the agency people gave you a really bad advice. First of all, you can't just apply for a green card. You need a sponsoring employer willing to wait for you for at least 5 years....

  7. Cost of Greencard (EB3)?

    Snowleopard replied to candabeth's topic in International Nursing

    I absolutely agree with Silverdragon102. Forget about agencies, find a job on E3 visa, and your employer is likely to sponsor you for a Green Card. Some hospitals will pay all the fees, some will ask...

  8. US Accelerated BSN for International Students

    Snowleopard replied to sanghus's topic in International Nursing

    As others suggested, you have to call nursing schools and ask. Even better, if you could go there and ask. If you want to get OPT (Optional practical training) and SSN you must switch to F-1. In this...

  9. what are eligibility criteria for a BSN to get a H1B

    Snowleopard replied to sunr's topic in Immigration Advice

    Neither I said "they" are in demand, nor I said it will be easy. Until their education is evaluated as equivalent to the U.S. BSN and they become WOC certified in the U.S., they are not eligible...

  10. what are eligibility criteria for a BSN to get a H1B

    Snowleopard replied to sunr's topic in Immigration Advice

    The question was not about your area. Immigrants are more flexible and are more likely to relocate comparing to the US citizen and LPRs. Believe it or not, there are areas where WOC nurses are in...

  11. what are eligibility criteria for a BSN to get a H1B

    Snowleopard replied to sunr's topic in Immigration Advice

    Labor certification for H1-B is much simpler than for Green Card. I think it is quite obvious that if there is an employer willing to sponsor a WOC nurse, there are no other qualified

  12. what are eligibility criteria for a BSN to get a H1B

    Snowleopard replied to sunr's topic in Immigration Advice

    If you are talking about H-1B, that is not true. One may get H-1B with 0 experience, like in case with BSN and WOC

  13. what are eligibility criteria for a BSN to get a H1B

    Snowleopard replied to sunr's topic in Immigration Advice

    If you get cetrified in Wound and Ostomy Care, you will be eligible for H-1B, because this is the only specialty of nursing that requires you to possess

  14. International Student in the U.S.

    Snowleopard replied to taonefree's topic in Immigration Advice

    I would suggest to finish your ADN, get your OPT, finish BSN, get your OPT, get your certificate in Wound and Ostomy care from the accredited school. That will make you eligible for H-1B

    Snowleopard posted a topic in Immigration Advice

    Snowleopard replied to kitdikat's topic in Immigration Advice

    Snowleopard replied to Noimanurse's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but to my understanding those certifications are not mandatory and regulations will vary from state to state. 10. What will the new certifications be and when will they...

  22. Slowing down LEGAL immigration process in the US

    Snowleopard replied to demigod's topic in International Nursing

    In my opinion you are looking at things backwards. Hospitals know how to count their money very well, especially in this economy. As it has been pointed out already, no new grads from the foreign...

  23. Slowing down LEGAL immigration process in the US

    Snowleopard replied to demigod's topic in International Nursing

    You are right, they shouldn't. Do you have statistics how many nurses cаme to the U.S. in the last several years? Or do you have any evidence that hospitals from the areas that don't have shortage of...

    Snowleopard replied to DarkBluePhoenix's topic in California Nursing

  25. CA nurse ratio FAQ removed from website
