Hello Mercyme, The prevailing wage report took around 6 months to be issued on my case. I was an international student on my OPT so I was able to start working right away and wait for my greencard while working as I had an authorization to work issued due to my OPT. In conclusion: your authorization to work should be issued before your green card, and with the authorization to work in hands you will be able to start working. I hope this helps. Everything will be fine, do not worry ? God bless you

Hi Lisa, Since res has ESBL in urine, is incontinent, and has a wound to entire peri area and the focus would be to heal the wound and avoid ESBL in it, I would talk to res physician and discuss the possibility to use an indwelling urinary catheter until res finish ABX for ESBL in urine. I really don't like this approach because of the risk for UTI, but as you said, you hope to keep ESBL out of her wound, so this is a possibility to be discussed with res physician.

I use Triad or Calmoseptine paste for incontinent residents as prophylaxis and for stage 1 pressure injuries (intact skin with non-blanchable area), and stage 2 pressure injuries (shallow open ulcers). Apply to wound bed and periwound tissue daily and/or every brief change), leave it open to air. Turn res Q2H, add an air mattress when possible. Educate res in regards to nutrition, hydration and offloading if he/she is alert and oriented.

I believe education is always a must. So, just spend some time with the visitors explaining the importance of precautions (universal, contact, droplet...) for themselves and loved ones. Also, as a suggestion, help them to put on the IPE, I am pretty sure they will enjoy the experience I did that with some visitors and they were thankful and said that other facilities they have visited do not really care about precautions and do not enforce the use of IPE between visitors.

I am having the same issue and since we dont want the resident to be isolated, we are keeping contact precautions for bath and perineal care. She is incontinent though.

Hello, I am going to start the IPCO - Infection Preventionist Specialized Training. Is that the same?

She may attend the movie session with other residents if she is willing to wear a mask.

How did you get a ssn and a work permit? I am also holding a conditional license but I am not able to find sponsorship...

I loved your Post. I have just took NCLEX this morning. i am exaust. thanks for your words. you are a really nurse: special, kind, sweet, strong. aloha

HI Talyta, Just to let you know, each State here in the US has his own rules. Hawaii (Nurse of Board), where I've been living, doesn't require TOEFL or CGFNS exam. However, you need to apply for CGFNS anyway as a Foreign education nurse. And CGFNS will require from your University in Brazil official transcripts. I am still waiting the authorization to take NCLEX, and after a review of my transcripts from CGFNS, I had to go back to school to take mental Health hours in clinical. I am a Public Health RN for 11 years in Brazil, now I am living in Hawaii since September, 2013, where I came to take mental Health classes at Hawaii Pacific University. If you want keep contact with me will a plaisir help having more details. Thank you and good luck! never give up! our profession is beautiful and special! [email protected]
