   Has anyone taken the RCSI Overseas Nursing Aptitude Test? (For Ireland)

   Cloud9RN replied to carefreekayak's topic in World

   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.

   How to get EB3 Green Card Visa for nurses&

   Cloud9RN replied to MarinaNurse's topic in Immigration

   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.

   Saline Flushes - My Old As Dirt Question

   Cloud9RN replied to Tait's topic in Nursing

   I always scan saline flushes. It's always in our E-MAR PRN and it will be counted/reflected in the medication intake and output... We kept our saline flushes in the Medroom.

   Likely moving to Ireland from US ... NMBI?

   Cloud9RN replied to AJL_91's topic in Immigration

   Hi. We had somewhat the same scenario. When I applied in 2017 my last bedside experience was in 2012 but from 2015-2017 I was working as UM nurse in the Philippines and I used that experience on my NMBI application and they accepted it. Nursing experience doesn't have to be bedside experience. As long as your are practicing your profession be it in a clinic, company nurse, insurance nurse you are good to go. I got my registration in Ireland in 2017 however in 2018 I moved here in the US.

    Denied I-140

    Cloud9RN replied to Joan_ako's topic in International

    The usual denial is not on the applicant's side. It is mostly on your employer side. Usual factors that affects your I-140 application is your employer's tax, prevailing wage etc...

    What Visa are you first on before Green Card is process for international nurses

    Cloud9RN replied to Amonitzer's topic in International

    Came here on EB3 visa. Most employer file EB3 for nurses outside the US provided they have already passed the NCLEX. Its very rare for employer to sponsor H1b working visa. Those nurses under h1b are either employed in a Magnet hospitals wherein they require all their nurses to have BSN Degree. Requirement for EB3 is at least an Associate degree in Nursing. But for me Id rather be sponsored under EB3 than H1b coz EB3 is immigrant visa/permanent residency.

    Advice for a ortho/surg nurse moving to rehabilitaion nursing.

    Cloud9RN replied to MrsJt's topic in Rehabilitation

    I have work in acute rehab for about 7 months now. I am foreign educated RN and works full time on nights on a 13 bed capacity acute rehab. I love my unit. It's a slow pace unit for me actually. At the start of the shift I get to review all my patient charts, then prepare meds and do head to toe physical assessment. Midnight would be purely charting like bradens, FIMS, updating plan of cares, progress notes, passing PRN pain meds etc. I would also help my CNA answering call lights if I'm not busy. So far I love what I am doing except if we are low in census and we get to float to other units which makes me real anxious lol. As of now I am preparing to take the CRRN later this year. 🙂
