Oh congratulations!! When do you start and for what unit?

Took the exam last week and passed on my first try. I used Lippincott Med Surg certification review, pockeprep MS practice questions (1,000 questions) and MSNCB 150 practice questions.

I got a job at UCSF this month and I'm from LA area. UCSF offered me a relocation bonus. You should ask your recruiter about relocation bonus.

I currently work in one of the hospitals in LA right now and have previous work experienced from out of state. I am in awe when CNA's have limited work to do here. In my previous state CNA's can do accuchecks, do bladder scan etc.... Here in California all they do is to take Vitals and most of them are very lazy just playing on their phonesa nd sometimes have the nerve to tell Nurses to do this and that. Im like are you serious? They don't even answer call lights...

anyone working for 8NE Nuerology? ?

I took the exam 4 yrs ago. It's far different from NCLEX. It's easier its more objective. It's a 150 questions I believe.

140,000 immigrant visas per fiscal year for all professionals including Nurses.

Definitely do the EB3 route if you wanted to stay in the US in a long term basis or you want to settle here for good. Worldwide health solutions was my agency too before and the process was so smooth.

Philippine BSN is comparable to a BSN in the US except California.

I came here in the US through EB3 immigrant sponsored visa. I applied for NCLEX thru New York Board of Nursing in 2016. No SSN required. They will issue you a license without SSN. Once you pass NCLEX look for an agency then take IELTS for Visa Screen certificate. My employer filed an immigrant petition on my behalf in 2017 and I arrived here in the US in 2018. Total waiting time was 1 year and 7 months.

OSCE is easy if you are prepared for it. Back in 2017 there was like 15 stations that you have to undergo. There are situational questions, there are procedures to that you have to perform like NGT insertion, 5 moments of hand hygiene, wound care etc. etc.

Hi everyone. I work 3 night shifts in a row. Is it safe to take doxylamine succinate tabs 25 mg half a tablet 3 days in a row every week? please advise.

I always bring a small flashlight with me since a work night shift and so I don't have to turn up the lights just to check on them. Stethoscope, clip board, my 5 in 1 pen, white board marker and a bandage scissor.

I love figs for men especially the jogger scrub pants.

There is a heavy shortage of nurses here in the US pre covid. A lot of agencies are hiring Nurses with NCLEX since 2015 and it has not change until now.
