Reigan, I really do appreciate your input here!

Thank You Reigan for your response...My husband is willing to stay here in the US (and thinking about it makes me NOT wanna go to the middle east route). I've been to Saudi but didn't work in a hospital before. I was just looking for a way to save and save and pay loans. Really? More in travelling within US? I was worried pay here in the US will be used up in housing,transportation and taxes...

First 3-6 months: felt frustated and even shed some tears (at home)1st year : wow! I didn't realize I'm doing and feeling alot bette with skills and nursing judgement1yr 6mos: uh...started to Charge...feeling challenged this time.2 years: gaining more knowledge and skills. Still alot to learn though but you gained confidence.Best advise I got from another nurse: Suck It Up! (and man,guess i did!)Glad you are feeling so much better! God bless!

That is so exciting! Spread your wings and explore the world. You have your license and believe you can apply for a job somewhere you like. i guess what you can do is list down the cities (in order of preference) you want to go and work at and apply. If itsothe state, check if you can work there or if you need to have license endorsed.Went to the middle east on a tourist visa,flying SOLO and it was my first time out of the contry! Wootwoot!Let's not forget to practice Nursing with our utmost TLC!
