I graduated BSN,took the NCLEX RN in California and passed....So im an RN in California now....what do I need to do to have my BSN accredited? OR is my BSN already accredited by passing the NCLEX RN????

This is exactly my point.....quality of care....elderly patients are very fragile and needs quality in the care that we give....That is just my concern daytonite...not my problem

What is the nurse- patient ratio for nursing homes here in california??? I currently have 34 patients on my shift. :angryfire

I've been working in the U.S for a year and 3 months now, on my part, 2 days after I got here in California, I started working already,only 2 days of orientation,i was already on my own, dealing with CNA's is the first challenge to me, and its was not that easy.I was living in a house provided by the employer with no heater so I have to provide myself a portable heater and heavy blankets.Ate canned foods for 2 weeks.The company that I got into are not very supportive to their newly hired nurses,so just a piece of advise,come prepared,mentally and physically when you come to the US to work, Now after more than a year,life is gettin better,9 more months with my present employer and I would be free to apply to hospitals that I wish to work with.(Im on a 2 year contract right now.

hi, when did you receive your greencard, because I arrived here in california feb 9, until now I havent received my greencard yet,thanks.

My family and I arrived in the US feb. 9, as immigrants, I ve already tried 2 dmv offices one in El Cerrito and the other one here in jackson, I guess I,ll just wait for my greencard before getting a drivers license.Thanks a lot Suzzane.

Hi suzzane,Im already here in jackson ca. working under the interim permit, I already got my SS#.My problem is I cannot get a drivers license because since I still dont have the greencard,I show the dmv my passport with the immigrant visa,they are asking for my 1-94 stamped on my visa,I dont have it because 1-94 are for tourist visas only and not for immigrant visas, dmv said it is their regulation that I have the i-94,what do you think I should do.thanks.

hi SUzzane, I applied to CA BON for an eligibility to take nclex last oct. 20, how long do you think will it take for my application to be approved? I already had an approval last 2003 but it expired after 2 years,so I applied again.I already got the visa, my agency wont deploy me yet because they said they are still waiting for the eligibility.thanks

hi Yani and Rep, just wondering why Delbros havent texted me yet about our visas, its been a week now since we were interviewed at the US embassy and paid for the delivery of visas to delbros (Nov. 17). I texted Delbros so manytimes and their reply is always the same,that our visa are still with the embassy for processing,what might this delay mean, I hope nothings wrong cause i've worked so hard for this, what do you think?thanks.

We we're at St lukes Nov 9-10 as early as 4am and finished the medical 11am. When are you going to the US and what State will you go? Mine is in L.A California.

:chuckle :rotfl: :balloons: SAME thing happened to us last NOV.17, Congrats to both of us and all the others who have gotten their visas, and goodluck to those who are about to be interviewed.
