   British/US Passport

   Scott33 replied to Hyacinth55's topic in International Nursing

   Absolute nonsense! Can you provide a credible citation for that? If you have, or have access to, someone else's US passport, turn to page 5 on the old version, or page 7 of the newer "biometric"...

   British/US Passport

   Scott33 replied to Hyacinth55's topic in International Nursing

   How do you convert from a staff nurse to a paramedic?

   Scott33 replied to UK-KIRSTY's topic in International Nursing

   You may be better to look at the possibility of becoming an ECP as you would more than likely have to start from scratch in order to become a paramedic. Given that the university route for paramedics...

    Scott33 replied to TavellerCA's topic in International Nursing

    Scott33 replied to TavellerCA's topic in International Nursing

    Sorry to read you had such a bad time if things in the US. It's just a shame it took you 8 years to come to the conclusion it wasn't for you. The good news is you are completely right about life in...

    Scott33 replied to cariad's topic in International Nursing

    I am another one who uses Benadryl as a sleep aid. Though after a really busy shift, I don't need it. I also consume a lot of Coke (the diet variety), for when I need to be in the upright position....

    How difficult is it for US new grads to get jobs in London UK?

    Scott33 replied to CRASHT1224's topic in International Nursing

    Going rate in the NY / Long Island area. More so for per-diem / agency positions, as they don't need to shell out for health insurance, sick pay, or holidays. I know many RNs who have one FT...
