@9halfpint. I am from Missouri and original from Viet Nam. Good luck on your interview tomorrow. just be honest because they know you are a new grad with not much experience.

Would you mind sharing with me your immigration situation? I still quite do not understand why you were here legally 12 years ago now you lost your immigrant status? Let me share with you my immigration story. I came here with my family when i was 18 years old by my uncle on my father's side. After 1 weeks of living in the U.S , my green card( permanent resident) sent to my house, then I started going to high school here ( 10th grader). They put me back 2 grades because If I was still in Viet Nam, I would become senior in high school. After finishing high school, I went straight to university for my 2 years of pre- nursing. So I ended up with 3.9/4.0 GPA so i got accepted to nursing school right away ( no waiting time and nothing do deal with my citizenship status). Even though that I was not a U.S citizen at that time but I had no problem of getting a seat in nursing school. I spent my whole summer of volunteering in a veteran home and with a good GPA and a good essay. I got offer a maximum (10k) of scholarship through foundation in my nursing school. And during my first semester in nursing school, I took my U.S citizen test and passed it. ( after living here for 5 years, I am qualified to take this test). Now I am a U.S citizen. I struggled so so so much during nursing school because English is my second language and I am the only two Asians in my cohort ( 70 people) with all blood, tear, and hard-word. I graduated humbly with 3.24/ 4.0 GPA. No honor graduate for me. After graduate from nursing school, I went to work at a counselor for wonderland camp to take care of people with physical and mental disability ( I only get paid like 220/ week, I only can sleep 6 hours a day, and sleep on the hard twin mattress size in camp cabin. HOORAY! but I love every moment of my time spending with those special campers). Working so hard during weekdays in 80-90 degrees outside then going to library all weekends to study for my board. All hard-work is paid off, I passed my board on my first try even though I got to go through 265 questions in 5.5 hours. Thank you Lord. I finished my summer camp job in August 15, 2014 ( Graduated in nursing from May 2014) then going back home in St.Louis for a month to relax and do job hunting. It was awful time, but after 100 applications I got a RN job offer at St.Alexius in Bismarck, North Dakota. I had to go through 45 minutes phone interview for this job ( how stressful for me since English is so clear as second language), but I got a job offer even though I speak with a thick accent and only lived in America for 7 years. Right now I am so nervous for my transition from student nurse to professional nurse and I am carrying a nurse responsibility on my shoulder and language barrier in my head. But I know I am in God's hand. I hope my story can bring some smiles back on you. Do you want to work in North Dakota? have you check some hospitals there? they are in need of nurses. Very proud to sign my name as Anna Nguyen, RN, BSN. Nice to meet you all here

@9 halfpint. Yes it is my first RN job out of nursing school. ( May 2014 graduate). So you are having an interview for Sanford in Fargo or Sanford in Bismarck? sanford has many locations. I believed they have 3 locations in north Dakota and 1 location in Minnesota. So Please come to work for Sanford at Bismarck because St.Alexius and Sanford is very closed and we can be roommates too if you live in Bismarck, but if you chose Fargo that would be 2.5 hours from Bismarck lol.

@teddy 2014. North Dakota is a comtact state and I am from Missouri so both Missouri and north Dakota are compact state so I do not have to fill out any paper work. My email is [email protected]. You can go through BisManOnline Free Classifieds to find a housing and possible to find a roommate because a lot of people are looking for a roommate. Everything is on that website, but you have to choose wisely and be careful. I got some couple options for housing but I am not content yet, so you can look for a 2 bed rooms apartment and if you like it and you can send that too me. But Please do it quick and I need to find a housing before October 5

@9halfpint. New grad with BSN is probabbly 22- 23/ hr. They are in need of nurses so you can pick up extra shifts after you finished your orientation time. My Orientation time will be 6 weeks ( 3 weeks night and 3 weeks day) but every floor is a little different. You can apply and they will call you quick. I got 45 minutes phone interview and 2 days later they offered a job. The director who is interviewing me is SUPER NICE. I felt so confident and comfortable answers all questions honesty even though that English is my second language ( but make sure you are well- prepared). Good luck

@ teddy2014. I will flying to Bismarck around october 5, but I can start the rent in the first week of october

Hello all, I just got a job offer on Transitional care unit at St.Alexius. They give me 2 weeks to relocate and get settle, so please help me out. I need some information about housing and moving from St.louis, Missouri to Bismarck . I just sold my old car, so I am planning to take a fly there and getting a car, so any suggestion how to buy a car over there? Since I am taking a fly, how do I ship all my stuff ? what is the cost for shipping from St.louis, MO to Bismarck?

I would love to join new nurse residency program, so I Google it and it took me to indeed.com, then went to worming medical center website. What time is your? mine will be at 2 p.m. I would love to be on any med- surg unit. Especially for cardiac one. Wow, you are from california, so I guess you are kind of familiar with Asian culture there, so if we both get in the program, I would love to be your roommate because we are both from out of state.

@ rush2sknnr. I am sorry I can't answer your question since my interview will be on 10/10/2014. So where do have your interview? same hospital as mine? if so when ? where are you living? are you from Wyoming? or come from out of state like me? I will book a fly and come there about 1- 2 days early before my interview day. Hopefully we both get a job. I am very excited though.
