Hello! I am searching on topics of nurses moving to NY and have found this thread, just wanted to find out how have you been. How is NY as a workplace now. I intend to move and NY is on top of the list, coming froma small island of Guam in the pacific. Any feed back will be appreaciated

I wanted to ask around if any of the other ED facilities accepts post op patients to come back to ED and stay as holding patients

I have 6 years hospital experience, last 2 is from the Emergency Dept. and I am from Guam (a small island in the pacific, US territory) would the hospitals give relocation incentives?

Hi any news from GMH?

Hello fellow pinoy nurses! I am currently considering moving to Texas. Well, I'm still thinking which part of Texas. We are a family of 4. Any suggestions which is the best place to for a filipino family to move in to there?

I used kaplan nclex on demand. I followed all instructions of the program. Also, I used La Charity PDA which I believe must be read at least 2 x before taking nclex. Good luck!

Apply in Guam Regional Medical City and Guam Memorial Hospital just search their websites. Also, try FHP/take care and Guam Surgicenter. All these facilities are looking for RNs.

Try writing to your board of nursing. My wife had an ectopic pregnancy during the month she was supposed to take her NCLEX and the board was ready to extend eligibility. She just needed to re-register again to get new ATT.

Another issue I have is boarding/holding patients. How long does a patient once admitted to ICU level of care stay in your ED?

Ok. What state and area are you from?

Hello! I would like to ask, what is the usual/common and acceptable nurse-pt ratio in the ED you are working? 1:4 is what we have now. But if you get the trauma room, you will only 1 more monitor bed.

Ideally we have 8 nurses. 1 charge 1 triage 1 desk/fast track 1nurse=3monitor beds+1hallway bed 1nurse=3monitor beds+1hallway bed 1nurse=2isolations+1monitor bed+1hallway bed 1nurse=trauma room+1monitor We don't have break or relief nurses. We work 8 hours/shift and have on calls among ourselves. We do have 3 techs equally assigned by beds I wanted to see how other EDs would do their pt/bed assignments

Hello! My ED head is asking for ideas on how to make patient assignments for our ED patients. Any suggestions or what kind of ER patient assignments in your area is working well? We have 12 monitor beds 2 isolation rooms and 2 trauma rooms and we have 4 hallway patients as needed. We go by rotation taking 3 monitor beds and 1 hallway bed as needed. How does your patient assignment in your ED goes?

My wife is also BSN graduate from Manila Philippines and she is reviewing for her NCLEX RN exam soon. That's really a good thing to consider! The kind of environment that best suits us! I was only considering at first was a place with a great neighborhood to raise my kids.

I heard of a story that a Tech intubated a patient in an actual trauma room in an ED. Yes. He got fired.

Yes! That is true!

I graduated 2006 and I had to do volunteer or residency work even at that time just so I could get a job in a hospital. Just keep on applying! If this is really your career path look at some other places to work in to. They have now what they telehealth or telemedicine or they call it nursing informatics. :)

There is a very tough competition here. And the only way to be able to come here for a work visa is to level up your credentials. And getting a work visa here through employer would also require those 3 things I mentioned. Like here in Guam, we Guam Regional Medical City that will open up soon. They hired pinoy nurses with a work visa. That is different with the employer based petition where you get a green card. The priority date for employer based petitions are almost current it is now jun2014. It means those who have applied in the recent years may now be granted with green cards. There is so much to understand but when you try to research how to come here you will be able to. But then again it is not going to happen in a snap of a finger. It takes hard work, experience and time.

Katabolic, how about the kind of life there in San Antonio. Would you recommend that city for raising a family. I have 2 kids and thinking of relocating. Houston is where I am researching at right now.

Thanks to both of you. Starting to search and read about those places mentioned!

I am following this post too! I am an ER nurse from Guam and thinking of relocating in Texas. Houston is on the top of the list. I have 2 kids and also good neighborhood is priority for us. I only have 1 year of ER nursing experience here in Guam and 3 years of medsurg experience in the Philippines - will this be of help in landing a job?

Hi Katabolic which part of Texas are you from? How is the job hunting status there?

I intend to endorse my license too. I am from Guam. Watching this post and hopefully we get some thoughts and answers.
