  1. To Scope, or Not To Scope---That is the Question

    Sunqueen replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Don't forget the people you put through the prep were probably already sick. I just took a book into the bathroom. I followed my friends advice and started early - that way you get to "finish"...

  2. Completely and totally disgusted.

    Sunqueen replied to flightnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

  4. National Certification for School Nurses

    Sunqueen replied to CRITTERQUEEN's topic in School

    I took (and passed) the test last August. I used the Comprehensive Text and a few other NASN publications - the new review book was published too close to my test date to make it worthwhile ordering....

  5. Nurses & Emergency Scenes

    Sunqueen replied to rnffemtguy's topic in General Nursing

  7. This makes me SOOOOOOO mad!!!!!!!!

    Sunqueen replied to cajjj's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think ther will be huge influx of foriegn nurses anytime soon. You only have to read the posts on the International Boards here to see how hard it is for nurses to immigrate. I came over to...

  8. Anyone from florida - need your help

    Sunqueen replied to norhubez's topic in International Nursing

    it depends where in Florida. South Florida is no longer the cheap place in the sun. I have seen ads for condo rentals around $1000 a month (2 bed). When we moved here 10 years ago we rented a 3...

    Sunqueen replied to sherichance's topic in General Nursing

    We flew and then waited 10 days for the truck with all our stuff! The Overseas Highway isn't scary at all. It is beautful. You sort of island hop, so only short bridges between. Apart from the...

  15. UK nurse wanting to move to Florida

    Sunqueen replied to shaznay34's topic in International Nursing

    My advice is to visit a few areas. Living in South East Florida is like living in a totally different state to areas further north. As litle as an hour's drive makes a big difference. North Florida...

  16. Adult nurses wanting to work in the USA..

    Sunqueen replied to TinaK's topic in Immigration Advice

    Where did you train? You may just need to track down who has the archives. I trained at Guy's, but according to a classmate, our records are now at King's - go figure! I qualified in 1988 and had...

    Sunqueen replied to cariad's topic in United Kingdom

    I can answer some of your questions. The banking system is not hard at all. Only difference from the uK seems to be that there is more banks to choose from. You do need a Social Security number to...

  23. Shortage Time From UK-USA

    Sunqueen replied to madwife2002's topic in United Kingdom

    Sunqueen replied to Ariko's topic in General Nursing
