  2. best in az

    Owain Glyndwr replied to topscot's topic in Arizona Nursing

    And if anyone can narrow that down to best RN pay and conditions in the Phoenix Metro area, I'd be grateful as I'm seriously toying with buying myself out of my contract as soon as I get to AZ. I will...

  3. Unqualified Nurses in the UK

    Owain Glyndwr replied to paris2's topic in International Nursing

    It's all to do with the title and whether it's legally protected or not. Registered Nurse/Midwife/Mental Health Nurse etc are protected titles and, therefore all those practising under the title are...

  4. In Limbo

    Owain Glyndwr replied to topscot's topic in International Nursing

    In the same Vermont boat here. I noticed that Vermont hadn't moved ANY further ahead with their processing time for I140 since late September (it has been 26th March 2005 for what seems like a...

  5. uk nurses who have come to the usa

    Owain Glyndwr replied to cariad's topic in United Kingdom

    Hi Rob I, like you, was born and brought up in south Wales. 3 years post registration, I left Wales and, after 6 years out of here, never planned on coming back (spent a lot of time in SE England -...

  6. uk nurses who have come to the usa

    Owain Glyndwr replied to cariad's topic in United Kingdom

    A cheeky and surprising repost. A bit disappointed with myself really as, along with others, I failed to detect your patently obvious and downright clever use of your 'humour'. Damn, you're good....

  7. uk nurses who have come to the usa

    Owain Glyndwr replied to cariad's topic in United Kingdom

    Rob Have to disagree in part with your comments. Cold (yes, most of the time), wet (yes, most of the time), unsophisticated (mmm, in parts but only as much as some other parts of the UK), and, above...

  10. uk nurses who have come to the usa

    Owain Glyndwr replied to cariad's topic in United Kingdom

    That always breaks down when it's been overloaded and then some unfortunate (usually me) has to switch it off at the mains and get their hand in to untangle and fish out the bits of wipes/plastic...

  11. Shortage Time From UK-USA

    Owain Glyndwr replied to madwife2002's topic in United Kingdom

    Congratulations!! From reading back to the beginning of this thread, you've gone from NCLEX to out of here in under 12 months, and from Packet 3 to this point in 4 months or so? Shows it can be done...

  12. location location location

    Owain Glyndwr replied to topscot's topic in International Nursing

    What have OGP told you about the length of time between NCLEX and I140 or NCLEX and actually starting work? Just interested as your not the only OGP nurse who has passed NCLEX in June/July and seems...

    Owain Glyndwr replied to topscot's topic in International Nursing

    Hope you like lots of rain. Bring an umbrella. :chuckle Where are you ending up in Wales? You would, of course, be better off in the South as it is much friendlier than the North. And they talk with...

  14. WANT TO RENT A HOUSE in AZ

    Owain Glyndwr replied to madwife2002's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi Boomerfriend We visited Gilbert and Chandler last year as we are planning to live in the area when we eventually start work at Banner Desert. That's if I haven't reached retirement age before USCIS...

  15. 20 Day "Protected Learning", & Why I Loathe The NMC

    Owain Glyndwr replied to steve0123's topic in International Nursing

    They do. Every year. And it's not that cheap. Even when you consider their higher salaries. http://www.lawsociety.org.uk/professional/practisingcertificates.law Regards

  16. 20 Day "Protected Learning", & Why I Loathe The NMC

    Owain Glyndwr replied to steve0123's topic in International Nursing

    As someone who facilitates Supervised Practice (Adaptation) programmes for my Trust, I was under the impression that the 20 days protected learning was enforced in an attempt to limit the abuse landed...

  17. Oramorph: only one signature (TRIAL)

    Owain Glyndwr replied to bettyboop's topic in International Nursing

    Surely the issue here (apart from the poor staffing) is the proportion of Morphine in the solution which determines whether it is a CD or POM? The BNF states, and has done for as long as I remember,...

  18. uk nurses who have come to the usa

    Owain Glyndwr replied to cariad's topic in United Kingdom

    It's definitely worthwhile having a look at the place first, if you get the chance. Had the opportunity in Sept 2004 to visit Banner Desert - wasn't really what I expected but at least I knew what it...

  19. NCLEX to Packet 4 - length of time?

    Owain Glyndwr posted a topic in International Nursing

    Hi I am having a few issues with my recruitment company not being exactly speedy regarding submission of my documents to USCIS. Passed NCLEX in April - the company tell me it will take 12-14 months to...

  20. Calling all UK nurses going to US

    Owain Glyndwr replied to letina's topic in United Kingdom

    Not that cool really. Don't believe the 12-16 months hype I'd start at 18 months and think more along the lines of 24 months before you are able to cross the pond. I have come across so many...

  21. Calling all UK nurses going to US

    Owain Glyndwr replied to letina's topic in United Kingdom

    I'm also with Interstaff. Not particularly pleased with them at the moment, and not terribly impressed overall. Wish I'd gone it alone. Regards

  22. NCLEX to Packet 4 - length of time?

    Owain Glyndwr replied to Owain Glyndwr's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks! I have read the above thread you started several times over the past few weeks and am probably having some sort of psychological blocking process going on that makes me refuse to believe what...

  23. What type of Automobiles do you drive as a nurse.

    Owain Glyndwr replied to malenursetobe@21's topic in Men in Nursing

    Here in the UK, I'm driving a Chrysler Voyager new from 2002 (Town and Country in the US? Or is it a Dodge Caravan - what is the difference anyway? Why do they look the same?). Since gaining my RN in...

  24. uk nurses who have come to the usa

    Owain Glyndwr replied to cariad's topic in United Kingdom

    Hi Tina How do you do it?!!! Is it easy? Do I get offered a rifle like Michael Moore did in Bowling for Columbine? :angryfire Cheers

  25. uk nurses who have come to the usa

    Owain Glyndwr replied to cariad's topic in United Kingdom

    Thanks to all for the ideas re AMEX card. Will definitely try these out. We will be selling up before we emigrate and will hopefully have a fair amount of equity to invest in US real estate sometime...
