  1. New Yorker Patients

    Adrian32 posted a topic in New York Nursing

    I'm a new foreign graduate (with US citizenship) and am thinking about settling in NY to look for work. Presuming I actually overcome the hurdles foreign grads face in landing US nursing jobs, I'm...

  2. New Yorker Patients

    Adrian32 replied to Adrian32's topic in New York Nursing

    I haven't logged on in a while and only just now did I see the backlash my question raised. I want to extend my most sincere, heartfelt apologies to everyone for its insensitive tone. I guess I...

  3. International RN Graduates Looking to Fulfill CA BRN Requirements

    Adrian32 replied to littolinn's topic in Nurse Registration

    Hi. I'd like to apply to CA BRN so I'm wondering what exactly their maternal and med surg requirements are? Thank

    Adrian32 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hi all. Maybe this thread would best fit under some life-coaching or psychotherapy category, or something of that nature, but I could really use some advice and I'm not sure where else to go. I was...

    Adrian32 replied to Adrian32's topic in Nursing Career

    I very much be open to that. Wherever I settle professionally, I'm pretty resolved to start anew and come out, or at least not keep myself in a tight closet at least. My paranoia is around family and...

    Thank you for the encouragement, dishes

    What's the typical job of a graduate nurse as opposed to a RN? CNA-type

    Indonesia. How about yourself?

    Adrian32 replied to Adrian32's topic in Nursing Career

    What does it mean to "challenge the exam?" And yes, I do intend to pursue graduate nursing someday. But I better get some work experience,

    Adrian32 replied to Adrian32's topic in Nursing Career

    You're right, lorirn2b. I plan to come out, just not now. I guess I'm not ready yet. But I completely agree it's hard to be genuinely free and happy if I feel like I always have to hide

    Adrian32 replied to Adrian32's topic in Nursing Career

    That would sound really promising in terms of landing my first job but then again the fact that it's not health-related may make it harder for me to get into healthcare as a nurse in the long-run? If...

    Adrian32 replied to Adrian32's topic in Nursing Career

    Yes it's really held me back a number of times. In high school when it was really bad I remember winning a scholarship but was too shy to go get it from some hospital that was awarding it to me...

    Adrian32 replied to Adrian32's topic in Nursing Career

    I was thinking of doing that. I received CNA certification in California 6 years ago but never used it. I'm wondering if the process of getting myself recertified would require my taking CNA classes...

    Adrian32 replied to Adrian32's topic in Nursing Career

    Does every state have its own NCLEX exam? If so, I guess I'd have to pick where to try to settle first. Thank you,

    Wow for some reason I was under the impression that NY didn't require CGFNS. But I'll look into it. Thank you juan de la cruz.

    Adrian32 replied to Adrian32's topic in Nursing Career

    In terms of concepts behind practice I think the parallel is there. The only thing I know I would have to catch up on is the equipment/technology. But yeah it seems like a uphill battle, sigh. I'm...

    Adrian32 replied to Adrian32's topic in Nursing Career

    I hope not to have to deviate too far away from nursing for my first job. Do you think it would be too difficult for me to land maybe a CNA job at an urban setting without work

    Adrian32 replied to Adrian32's topic in Nursing Career

    I would love to do that except would i also be a research subject? I'm not sure what you mean. I think a lot of my social anxiety is mostly specific now to my life circumstance at being rather...

    Adrian32 replied to Adrian32's topic in Nursing Career

    No, I have no work experience. Just got my BSN there. I got training and certification as a CNA in California but only as a requirement to get into a program and I was never actually employed as a...

    Adrian32 replied to Adrian32's topic in Nursing Career

    Thank you dirtyhippiegirl! After posting this I felt kind of queasy because yes, it all was embarrassingly TMI, and blatantly so. As much as I'd like to get into some anamnesis, or my own...
