I'm a recent grad and just passed my NCLEX a week ago (yay!!). I want to know if I have a chance at the New York Presby New grads residency program, Mount Sinai, or NYU New grads residency. I do not have any summer externship or CNA experience (I app...

I have been applying to the North Shore LIJ system in New York for 4 months now! I have filled 23 applications and still no response. If you currently work at their hospitals or know someone there, can you tell me how you got in?? I have been applyin...

Hi everyone. I guess this is just me mourning the loss of what I worked so hard for but was taken away from me. I graduated from nursing school on Dec 2012 with my BSN, magna cum laude. Passed the boards April 2013. It has almost been two years and I...

I graduated 2 years ago and haven't worked. Do you think I should take a refresher as well? Also live in near NYC area

Sorry for the typos

Thank you so much for your story. Here is mine: My family moved to the US 12 years ago from Nigeria. We all came here with G-1 visas because my father is a Nigerian diplomat. I started 7th grade here and continued through high school and graduated va...

Yes I was here legally for 12 years. My status expired. The immigration system is so flawed that an education nurse with a BSN who has been here since middle school cannot work. Anyway, the work permit I had was only for a year and no one would hire ...

Despite all this I did the best I could to further my education so I chose to go to nursing school. I had some hope that a miracle would happen and I would work but that hope is gone now. And nursing school was basically a waste of time.

that is how messed up the immigration system is. There was nothing I could do. There was no way for me to go from "nonimmigrant" to "permanent resident". The only option was to get married and have my husband petition for me. Well that's not realisti...

it is not an option. I barely know that place. I haven't been there since age 11. If I did go back it would be total failure on my part. I would be extremely depressed. Also knowing that people who have been here illegally have received work permits ...

I graduated from a BSN program in Dec 2012 and passed the boards in April 2 2013. Since then I haven't been able to work in an acute care environment. I got into a home care agency last month and only had a two week case (it was only 5 hours a day gi...

Ok it is not really a job offer but I have an interview with a hospital that is really far away from me (I'm angry at myself for applying there but I was desperate). I don't drive and the hospital is located 3 hours and 40 mins away from me by public...

Happy new year everyone! I graduated Dec 2012 and passed my boards April 1st. Because I was an international student with OPT employers would not hire me. I went for two hospital job interviews and one of them told me they don't sponsor and that's wh...

I know someone whose visa expired while she was in college (Physician's assistant). It was expired for 3 years then she found an employer sponsor. I also know another person who is working in a store and came to the US on an tourist visa (which expir...

What did you eventually do? I am in the same situation you were but my OPT expires in 2 months.

They are not accepting RN's in the MAVNI program. Only Psych NP's and CRNA's I am also an F-1 student on OPT and cannot find work.

I am a new grad I graduated in December, passed the boards in March and have been looking for work ever since. I finally landed an interview at a hospital in Brooklyn (my friend got my resume into Human Resources). However they did not hire me:no:. I...

I actually came to the US at age 11 as a diplomats child. But thanks anyway

I am a New grad from New York and I passed my NCLEX. My country of origin is Nigeria but I have been in America for over 11 years. I was on F-1 international student status in college and now I am on OPT. However, no employer will hire me with my OPT...

I have a BSN. Where in Canada do you think I can have a good chance of getting in? What about Alberta? British Columbia?

I am so confused as to where to focus my job search. I have OPT status and it expires in 5 months. I am also a new grad RN and I don't know where to find a job. I know hospitals do not sponsor (been on interviews) so forget them! And I cannot seem to...

What if I move to a state with a nursing shortage do you think they would sponsor?
