  1. Longest wait from NCLEX - I-140 approval

    Owain Glyndwr replied to bettyboop's topic in Immigration Advice

    I was in the same position as you. In the dark. Asked my company for my INS number and tracked it on-line at https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/index.jsp . Signed up for their e-mail notification...

  2. Longest wait from NCLEX - I-140 approval

    Owain Glyndwr replied to bettyboop's topic in Immigration Advice

    Got e-mail notification from USCIS this morning that my I140 was approved on 1st March :smiley_aa Passed NCLEX at the end of April - my paperwork went in to Vermont in August (don't ask why), so all...

  3. Casualty on BBC1

    Owain Glyndwr replied to marion12's topic in International Nursing

    Belinda-Wales is now happy that there are two other members of the Gorgeous Owen fan club. I personally think that he's become slightly chunky rather than hunky and has put on a few pounds of late....

  4. Phoenix With Ogp

    Owain Glyndwr replied to topscot's topic in United Kingdom

    Whilst not wishing to condone OGP practice in the slightest and I have posted this elsewhere previously, surely OGP are only doing what they are being hired (contracted) to do by the Healthcare...

  5. Casualty on BBC1

    Owain Glyndwr replied to marion12's topic in International Nursing

    Belinda-Wales is an avid watcher of both Holby and Casualty, the former due to the 'gorgeous Owen' (and the highly amusing way in which both nurses and midwives are portrayed - she doesn't half get...

  7. Casualty on BBC1

    Owain Glyndwr replied to marion12's topic in International Nursing

    Ever so slightly off the mark, after all it is a soap. The first series back in the 80s was rubbish from a technical nursing point of view, although it did improve for the second and third series....

  8. Uk for Uk?

    Owain Glyndwr replied to ClaireMacl's topic in United Kingdom

    We're doomed Mr Mainwaring, DOOMED (those of you reading this who are under 30 years of age may have to ask your parents what this means) In rearranging the following, you have my thoughts on the AfC...

  9. Phoenix With Ogp

    Owain Glyndwr replied to topscot's topic in United Kingdom

    Oh no! I entered into communication with them two years ago and didn't like them then so didn't tie myself into them. My wife and I have had enough of our company and have put the pressure on over the...

  10. Phoenix With Ogp

    Owain Glyndwr replied to topscot's topic in United Kingdom

    Ha ha ha LMAO. Last week I literally walked down a corridor in my Trust and within the space of 15 minutes I had been asked by 5 different people 'I thought you were going to the USA, what's...

  11. Uk for Uk?

    Owain Glyndwr replied to ClaireMacl's topic in United Kingdom

    Are you trying to say that the RCN didn't 'come up with this stuff'? I think you'll find they sat around the table for around 5 years planning this sorry mess with the Govt and other TUs. Therefore,...

  12. Uk for Uk?

    Owain Glyndwr replied to ClaireMacl's topic in United Kingdom

    I don't misunderstand PAs and I was only job matching one the other day. I'm sure you'll take my comments with tongue slightly in cheek in my attempt to highlight the gross unfairness of AfC and it's...

  13. Uk for Uk?

    Owain Glyndwr replied to ClaireMacl's topic in United Kingdom

    Therein lies the problem. The idea was never going to work on the pay front. Personal Assistant - Band 5 (role: organising things for the Exec, diary, files, ordering a bit of this and that, making...

  15. Where are you from?

    Owain Glyndwr replied to suzanne4's topic in General World

    South Wales, UK. Texas is more than 33 times the size of Wales. Wales is about 5 times the size of Rhode Island. Wales is not part of England. http://www.visitwales.co.uk/2954/23.XX.AA.html Did you...

  16. Uk for Uk?

    Owain Glyndwr replied to ClaireMacl's topic in United Kingdom

    Theatre nurses are scored exactly the same as other nurses at Band 5 in Freedom to Act and Patient Care - I suppose they still have to APIE care in their area (not just scrub) :uhoh21: . The key to...

    the national profile for play therapist has factor 2 scoring a 4 and asking for nneb + experience. it's a band 4. are you ready for this one?......... play specialist higher level/team leader has...

  18. Uk for Uk?

    Owain Glyndwr replied to ClaireMacl's topic in United Kingdom

    I didn't vote for it either and have only met one person who did!! I should have added 'in the long-term' to my statement about how it was all set up, although I'm sure the planners set out for it all...

  19. Uk for Uk?

    Owain Glyndwr replied to ClaireMacl's topic in United Kingdom

    Not that clear at all. I take it your argument is based on just your Trust? I believe that your original statement was along the line of no other professional group are entering on Band 5. If, like...

  22. Uk for Uk?

    Owain Glyndwr replied to ClaireMacl's topic in United Kingdom

    I take it that when you mention 'all other professions' you are including in no particular order Physios, OTs, Radiographers, Speech and Language Therapists, and Podiatrists who all have Band 5...

  23. Uk for Uk?

    Owain Glyndwr replied to ClaireMacl's topic in United Kingdom

    As long as the nurse knows the patient's ar$e from their elbow, that's the main thing I don't think training is crOp today. It's changed like a lot of things over the last god knows how many years....
