My 15 year old has flat feel(can't remember medical name). his feet has no arch and overpronates. His feet look like duck feet(pointing outwards instead of straight ahead like most)of us. He is in high school,with lots of walking between classrooms. ...

Hey all I have been a nurse for 5 months, telemetry floor, although we have a large # of "why is this person on the tele floor?" pts. So starting cardiac drips is not a something we do regularly and it was certainly my first time receiving an order t...

thanks for responding. Only thing, I can't remember how many mg was in the 500 ml bag.. Hypothetically, how do I set up the calculation to get the ml/hr rate to run the drip?

Hi Suzanne or anyone who knows. Advice pls. I have 2 burning questions? Once the I-140 has been submitted, can I travel outside of the USA, to Canada? Secondly, since the retrogression is in effect, can Canadian nurses working in the US, apply and w...

you and Suzanne have really clarified things for me. You are right on the attorney issue, at least in my situation. I was called and emailed to pay the fee and they can submit the I140 me. But I wanted the clear picture before I made that decision. I...

Tks Suzanne. The attorney is giving me the impression that the earlier I submit the I140, at least my application is in and all I have to do is wait . Which I know is correct, but to me (which he has not told me) it sounds like once I do that , (a) ...

Tks Suzanne I am really confused about what is the next step to take. We have all the paperwork to apply for the I-140 including visascreen, employer paperwork, etc. since Sept 2007. We have spoken to a lawyer who is pushing me to submit the I-140 i...

hey I am a new nurse. just 3 days ago I took care of stroke pt for 2 days(Wed/Thurs of this week). for the entire 2 days he had watery stools. the med student/resident ordered a rectal tube on the 2nd day I had him and ordered stool samples for c-dif...

I am coming to the end my oreintation and if there is only 1 silver lining is that I will not have to work through 12-13 hours with my preceptor who talks down to me, is rude, makes snide negative remarks about me being slow, disorganized to anyone w...

I agee 100%. I work on a telemetry floor during the day. I got off orientation and its just crazy busy. too much going on. I come home thinkng if I have missed anything, did I do this or that. no time to read charts. I have decided that I am going to...

Suzanne or anyone who knows the process Found out today that I Passed my NCLEX. F1 student graduated in May 06, currently on OPT until Jul 2008. What is my next step? Do I apply for the VisaScreen cert. now or when I receive my official RN license? ...

hi all My 15yr old son has serious flat feet..can't remember the medical name. But his feet has no arch and he overpronates. when he stands instead of feet pointing straight ahead like most of us, his feet point outwards like a duck. Because he has n...

can someone tell me how to check the status of my application for visascreen certificate, online? I created a login, but the only option I can see once i login is, " order services from cgfns'. can someone guide me on this, pls?

SharonH I am interested in working with an insurance co. on my off days. Will PM you for the information. Thanks.

thanks guys

All my Visascreen documents are being mailed separately, does that matter? E.g. My transcript will be sent to CGFNS by the Registrar's office of my college( I asked if I could pick it up and have it mailed in the same envelope with the the nursing ...

That an RN who attended a government approved, accredited nursing school at a college or university right in the US, has to pay $398.00 plus $50.00 processing fee for a VisaScreen certificate to state that the nursing education that they received (AD...

My understanding from previous posts is that you can still petition(I-140) nothing more, while the retrogression is still in place. You don't necessarily have to wait until visas become current to do so. someone, correct me if I misunderstood.

Hey All need your help. I am given my nursing instructor/dean to fill out the section on on VisaScreen application that has to be completed by my nursing school. She needs some clarification if anyone how has completed theirs or knows how can help. I...

I went to a nursing school here in the US.

Hi all I am a Canadian living and working as an RN in the US. I am interested in writing for Ontario nursing license. Can anyone tell me what steps I have to take and how I start the process? what are good prep books to use? is it the same as NCLEX? ...

Azor I checked out AMC as well. I find the staff great and fun to work with. Let me know how things are going there. I really want to know. PM me if u wish. A

Suzanne I graduated from a US nursing school in May. Wrote and passed the NCLEX in July 2008. I did not apply during the window in July. So again, does it even make sense to appy for the I-140 now and wait in line? For those of us just getting ready...

OK. So what do I do? Finished my NCLEX in May(US edu), spoke to 2 attorneys, one wants me to start the application for GC process and at least get in line and see what happens in OCT. The other is taking a do nothing approach, except wait and see wha...
