Finally the long wait is over. I am starting May 18th. Hopefully everyone's process will have positive outcome. I learned to be patient during this whole ordeal

Try Albany GA. We have a lot of positions and they still hire new grads without BSN. Its critical right now in that they are paying us $100 more per critical short staffed day especially Friday-Monday. You can PM me if you like more info! Med-surg is...

You and me both are ready for that call. The director had signed mine!

Yes, clinical instructors are great references they know your nursing skills and your potential. Just give her/him heads-up!

I don't have a final offer yet as you can see my story above. They will call you first with an offer, they might tell you the pay up-front or they might not. After that they will send u Vetpro and Equip, may be not Equip. It differs greatly. Vetpro w...

That seems quick! Congratulations! My file is ready for the director's signature which I was informed yesterday that it can take 7-30 days to obtain. I was interviewed Oct 23, tent offer 12/02, Vetpro completed 12/07, E-quip 12/18, physical and fing...

Thanks, RNsWe, this process is something serious. I am satisfied with their offer because at my current work, we haven't had a raise in 4 years, if I had a full time position, my base pay will be laughable. Hopefully all goes well with the backgroun...

I was just sharing what is happening in my situation; I was told by my recruiter that the board determined my grade and salary by reviewing my resume which basically consist of everything necessary to conclude on my experience and education. I didn't...

Hey VA nurses, I have few questions, I know I might be overly excited right now. Here is my story. I am RN, BSN and Med surg-Certified nurse with 9 years of acute care experience been working in the same civilian hospital but moved around, on my 3rd ...

I will say Med/Surg in terms of good experience and employability in long run. Have you seen job advertisement. says (preferable med/surg experience). Also day shift gives you more experience. You meet more MDs, procedures are done during day time...

I'm from South Africa, city of Durban. I live in Albany, Georgia USA for now.

Which state do you live? Try big hospitals? Did you get your degree over here? It should n't be difficult to find an employer who is willing to petition for you.

Thank you, NurseMargo Yours will be fast too, in Jesus name. What is your service centre? Mine was Texas

I applied in August 2005, received my GC in December 16 2005 (approval date on GC is December 09, 2005

Hi I think it will be wise for you to listen to the student advisor at your school. They do these things all of the time and they know better. B1/B2 is different from H4. You may change status here but your 120 has to be activated at the port of e...

Go for it. Do not waist much time. They need nurses, I did the same thing, on my last semester I was offered a job at the hospital I was doing my clinicals at.

You will get a different appointment letter for fingerprinting. Very soon, don't worry about it. Is your service center TSC?

Hi The collage which you applied at will mail you the letter saying come and take compass or what ever their entrance exam is. They should offer that at the collage. They may ask for Toefel as well, they may not offer that one but most Universities...

I second Evepooh, she has good points. Worry about GPA, communication skills and everything will fall into place. Nursing program is very challenging. Even english speaking students have hard time. You have 3 years to worry about working and gre...

Yes it is possible, you will apply for OPT if you are F1, and take it from there. The hospital where you will be doing your clinicals may be able to help. Talk to them.

You are going to be a USA graduate since you are transfering your credits over here and you are going to graduate over here. No H1-B for you but green card because nurses are special over here. I am just like you, graduated in December 2005 going t...

My visascreen did not have a picture. I did not send my picture to CGFNS because they did not request it but, visascreen certificate has a place for the picture. In mine its says (picture not available). This was in April of 2005.

I received my Visa Screen in 5 weeks. I applied for it after passing NCLEX and I got my ADN in USA. I think that is why it did not take too long because my transcript was from USA and I did not have to take English tests
