I'm a new nurse in an outpatient dialysis center, less than a year. We are short on regular nurses in the unit and sometimes I'm the only nurse opening the unit with 3-4 PCTs for 24 patients. The other nurse comes in 2-3 hours later or the other nu...

I'm in Bronx, NY. yes, i'm expected to do the assessments on top of putting on patients. If there's any problem on the unit, am expected to be able to solve them until the charge nurse comes.

hi! i'm a dialysis rn here in NY and I'm really interested in doing massage therapy. Does anybody know where I can get training here in NY? thanks

I am an new hemo agency nurse with one year experience in hemodialysis from my country employed by this facility. I'm a new nurse here in the U.S. During my first months here, I also voiced my concern to the medical director and he told me that if I...

If the nurse manager is there, there's no problem. But when he's not there then that's the problem. Just last week, I opened the unit by myself with 3PCTs with 1 orientee nurse for 2 days. To top it off, 2 of the patients were in distress and I al...

That is what I've been telling them. It was never stated in the contract. I read the contract many times and made clarifications over and over again before signing it. BTW, I have to pay them $8,400 if I don't finish my 3-yr contract with them. Actu...

I already asked the immigration lawyer that... and he said that in the event that I do not pass the NCLEX.... i will have to retake the NCLEX ASAP... now in the case that its not possible... i will have to be deployed before the expiration of the vis...

yes the visa is in the passport. they want that together with the other documents given by the US embassy,the one you have to present to the immigration officer at the port of entry.

thanks so much suzanne. :)

My employer is requiring me to take and pass the NCLEX before deployment. They want to make sure that I'll be able to work right away upon arrival in NY. I already told them that it will be more practical to just deploy me and then take the NCLEX i...

Hi PresC. I had my review class with URC. Am planning to go back and sit in one of these days. I also enrolled online with NCSBN for 3 weeks. I have the Mosby book and CD. Honestly, I don't know if I'm that ready to take the exam. Thanks s...

Hi Suzanne4. Thanks for the info. I asked the agency about it and was told that they we're going to ask me to take it before deployment. I'm thinking that maybe I should be taking it now and get it over with. Might as well do something while wait...

Hi! NVC completed administrative processing of my papers. Can anybody tell me what's the next thing that I'm going to do? When I called up NVC last December 2004 and I was told that 8 weeks after December 21, the lawyer will be receiving a notice f...

Hi Suzanne4. Where do I sign up for this course? can you give the site? thanks. So there's no waiver for not taking the course at all? I need to speak to the immigration lawyer again. Do I need that for the licensure just like PresC? Thanks.

Hi PresC... Hmm... I think I should talk to my lawyer again regarding the child abuse course. Regarding NCLEX, it would be nice if we have the same date in taking the exam... Where are you going to take it? Saipan or Guam? let's keep in touch ok? :)

Hi Monica33. I took the TSE. IELTS was still not offered then. :) You're signed up with whiteglove right? How are they in terms of processing your papers? I was supposed to sign up with them. My auntie sent me a contract. I had some doubts c...
