    What certifications do you have?

    Scott33 replied to confusedstudent_88's topic in General Nursing

    Ohh, two FP-C's on the same thread Most of my certs are more applicable to my paramedic role than my nursing one... BLS ACLS TNCC ENPC PHTLS (prehospital trauma life support) PHTLS instructor AMLS...

    From Austria to America to England

    Scott33 replied to redheadnursetobe's topic in International Nursing

    I think you may have to do a little research on the 'benefits' bit. And the cost of living can be extortionate in some

    Ambulances?

    Scott33 replied to Fiona59's topic in International Nursing

    Indeed. I was still surprised to read however, that over New Years Eve, London Ambulance Service reported that they received 1 emergency call, EVERY 7 SECONDS! Link The simple fact of the matter is,...

    Ambulance Staff checks lacking

    Scott33 replied to XB9S's topic in International Nursing

    It is about time there was an expose on some of these private firms. There is little-to-no regulation involved in their operation, and training and education goes from a 4 day FAW (First Aid at Work)...

    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

    Undoubtedly it is personal choice, and there is no right or wrong. I travel between the US and UK quite frequently and always take both my UK and US passports. I had to renew my UK passport just last...

    TNCC and ENPC course

    Scott33 replied to suemsu's topic in International Nursing

    I know of one UK RN who posts here who has TNCC. A quick Google search actually brough me back to allnurses.com which in turn, pointed me to this webpage. If it is anything like in the states, you...

    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...

    Working in The USA

    Scott33 replied to TavellerCA's topic in International Nursing

    So, just to recap. Now perhaps if you could take the time to back up those outlandish claims by credible, citable sources, maybe some of us will take you a little more seriously. Here is one for...

    Working in The USA

    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...

    how do you sleep?

    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...

    Dual Citizenship

    Scott33 replied to scattycarrot's topic in International Nursing

    As a holder of both US and UK passports, I can verify that dual citizenship is entirely possible. You have to have a minimum of 3 years permanent US residency, after which you need to file form N400...

    Going from the USA to the UK

    Scott33 replied to StNeotser's topic in International Nursing

    (S)he will always be a British Citizen, even if she becomes a US citizen. I too would agree with going forward for the BSN, and US citizenship if poss. Always good to have a plan

    Any French, English, or Canadian Nurses Here?

    Scott33 replied to TrudyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Your system is clearly not typical nationwide. I pay nothing for my health insurance or dental. Co-pay is between $10 - $50, I have 20 days vacation + 8 days holiday + 3 personal days per year. Places...

    Uk to US RN's...a question:

    Scott33 replied to scattycarrot's topic in International Nursing

    There are lab components for the likes of Microbiology and Chemistry, so taking them online is probably not possible. Any community college or Uni should let you sign up for these classes, whether it...

    Uk to US RN's...a question:

    Scott33 replied to scattycarrot's topic in International Nursing

    Chemistry, Algebra, and Microbiology are all courses required for entry-level RNs, never mind NPs. Therefore, most people going for NP would already have satisfied the prerequisites. Statistics is...

    Take that as a positive indication that most people probably passed first time out. I would imagine, were you to fail, you would get notification from the governing body, along the lines of "bad...

    Scott33 replied to janelola's topic in International Nursing

    First of all good luck. Being such an abstract test, I don't think there can be many people who will think they have done enough studying for it. My advice is just to take your time, remember the...
