I graduated in 2010 in the Philippines and was able to take and pass my exam in 2011. Fortunately enough, I applied around the end of 2010 before these changes happened and was approved. None of my other batchmates who had applied after me was able...

I hate to be the pessimistic one here, but California recently changed their policy as far as Foreign Nurses go. They are requiring that clinicals and lectures be taken concurrently (during the same semester). In the Philippines, our curriculum is ...

i had my first shift off orientation today. they gave me a whole wing to man by myself. it was rough. i wasn't familiar with the patients that I had and i was scrambling to get all my meds done. my preceptor told me that i did pretty well for my...

its also dependent on how fast california sends nj bon ur license verification. hopefully cali already sent it in

put it this way, being married and having a 2 yr old child, u already know half of maternal and child health nursing, even if u are not completely aware of it. it is much easier to learn something when u can relate. =)

one piece of advice, when u get the go ahead for a fingerprint appointment, schedule it right away. i procrastinated a few days and discovered that the earliest date available was at least two weeks away. what is ironic is that it only took 1 minut...

try star pediatrics they accept new grads from what i've been told by a fellow orientee. there are also some nursing homes that only accept in person applications, u may want to try hunting those down. also if ur mom has been a nurse for so long, wh...

the previous threads are not outdated. in about 4-6 weeks after they process your application they will send u a letter that u will need to schedule your fingerprinting. You should be able to see your name in Nursys.com after they receive your fing...

uhhm congratulations i guess, i would hate to read ur nursing notes/charting...

i took my california NCLEX on july 4th. got my license july 8th. applied for endorsement in nj a week later. hand-delivered it to NJ BON myself and by august 15, i was able to find my name in Nursys.com. It took over 6 weeks to process and then t...

it takes 6 weeks really. i hand delivered my application for endorsement to NJ BON and they said everything was good and it will take 6 weeks. 6 weeks later, after checking NURSYS repeatedly, it was there. I know endorsement and initial licensing ...

are u an RN/LPN?

1. make a solid resume. include ur clinical rotations as related nursing experience. make a comprehensive version and make a version u can use per nursing area/specialty. post them in monster.com, indeed.com, careerbuilder.com; tailor make your c...

the fact that her second try she got up to 95 questions means she had a fair chance of failing. its a different matter from what i hear if u failed at 75 questions. when i was doing the local boards in my country we were told that if you practice wi...

funny how life works. i've started giving up on applying for jobs and instead applying for volunteering and yesterday i got called in for a last minute interview and now i am staff nurse at a subacute facility! i'm still waiting for any response f...

if u have a federal loan, u can request for a loan deferment for upto 3 years. you wouldn't have to pay and your interest does not accrue. if u don't qualify for a deferment, u can apply for a forebearance. you can choose not to pay, partial payme...

very cool. i'll go there tomorrow i guess. each HR recruiter i've talked to frowned that i wasn't even volunteering my time anywhere. thanks!

From where i come from, we were often given patient loads amounting from 8 or more. The staff nurses even handle 40-50 patients on their own. Sure, "ideal" techniques and modern machines aren't practiced or available, but i read of people here who ...

i think that's BS u have to do all that. I am a technically a "new grad" too with only about 4 months of unpaid experience and also a foreign graduate. Why do they need to have copies of your transcript? Isn't it enough that the NCBSN/NCLEX approv...

any luck? i tried calling there but no one ever answers the phone.

I was watching CNN the other day and they listed out the top 10 career opportunities right now. 1. Retail 2. Commercial Truck Driver 3. Nurses (Associates) I thought that was pretty funny saying to myself yeah, if u have experience! You would imagi...

you're welcome =)

Why the sleepless nights? There is nothing to worry about. You are good as gold, and all u need to do is wait a little longer. I believe when u are petitioned by ur fiance, u can apply for a working permit when u get here while waiting for your g...

The PARACHUTE REFLEX occurs in the slightly older infant, and is elicited by holding the child upright then rotating the body quickly face forward (as if falling). The arms are reflexively extended as if to break a fall even though this reflex app...

would u try to do the Parachute Reflex if u haven't learned about it in Maternal & Peds?
