eventually, I didn't take the offer as 3-years contract seemed too long for me. However, I have known a male Korean nurse, working as a 1:1 nurse in NYC for more than a year and supposed to start a conventional school nurse work at a public school this Sep. If you would like to talk with him in person in Korean, I am willing to ask him out. 아래 메일 주소로 연락 주시면, 이분에게 물어봐서..ì œê°€ 이분 연락처 ì•Œë ¤ë“œë¦¬ê² ìŠµë‹ˆë‹¤. rose1chae 지메일이 ì œ 메일 주소 입니다.

I really appreciate your reply. It encourages me to try it out.

Hello, I am looking for someone who gives me thoughtful advice. Do you think if a new nurse wants to be a wound care nurse later, it would be fine to start working at a nursing home setting first or the nurse should find a job in medical & surgical units at a hospital? I am a foreign nurse with BSN, an RN license in NY & Texas, and a visa screening certification. I came here as my husband is a Ph.D. student. Recently, I have received a job offer with 2years-contract along with a visa sponsorship from an agency. However, as I don't have recent bedside care experience in the U.S, the agency is only able to put me in a nursing home setting. (I used to work in a tertiary hospital with 500 beds in my home country but it was a few years ago) My original dream is attending the would care program at Emory University and finding a slight chance to work as a wound care nurse here. I am afraid if I start working in a nursing home setting for 2 years, it will not be a right path to transfer a wound care nurse despite finishing the program later. Do you think someone dreaming about working as a wound care nurse, should build its career at a hospital or acute setting from the beginning? The cost of Emory's program seems a bit expensive. Thus, despite getting the certification in the future, I am afraid that I will not get a job related to wound care due to past working experience at a nursing home, not preferable to working in acute setting first. Thank you for reading my inquiry in advance. Gloria

Hello, Halohg, Thank you for your comment. It is really hepful for me.

Thank you for your reply. yes, I have heard about that. I don't mind even if I can not go back to bedside nursing care. Unfortunately, the year of 2010 was my last clinical experience back home. Several agencies that I have contacted, can not promise hospital nursing for me. As hospitals usually prefer to hire experienced nurses with recent experience. As I don't have a work visa, to get a green card or a work visa, I guess it might the best option for me that I have now. My concern is that It is not clearly so far whether I will be assigned as a one-on-one nurse or a conventional school nurse. As far as I know, 1:1 nurse seems like a unique position in NY. Other states do not have that kind of position. Thus, once I start one-on-one nurse, I am afraid that it will not be helpful for me to apply for the position of the school nurse, at a nurse office later. Living cost in NY city is too expensive and usually, a salary of school nurse work is not high enough for living in metropolitan cities. Thus, Once I get a green card, I would like to move to another place with lower living cost. Do you think starting as a one-on-one nurse may not help me to move into a school nurse position or another one, related to community health?

Hello Everyone, I am hoping some of you seasoned nurses can give me some advice. I am a Korean nurse having 7 years working experience back home. (mainly in psychiatric and urology department, but my last clinical experience in Korea was 2010). Unless I receive a visa sponsorship through a staffing company, realistically, it is hard to get a job as a foreign-trained nurse. I am living in Texas for 5 years as my husband is a Ph.D. student here. I got my NY, TX licenses with BSN, and enough English score, applying for a visa screen certification. Through my friend, I have introduced an agency, offering a school nurse or 1:1 nurse job in NY city. (details of the contract: no fee(I don't need to pay any money to the agency), 3 years-contract, $31 per hour, offering 2 month-rent fees when I first move to NY city, offering education opportunity to get a school nursing certification (If I get the certification, bonus will be provided) ) The agency said that even if I have two options working as a conventional school nurse in a nurse office in one elementary school or a 1:1 nurse. They can not make sure which kind of position will be assigned to me. It depends on a potential employer, in the school's decision. (Although I didn't directly work in a pediatric unit, for a side job, I used to work in a nurse office in a big department store and a horse racing park in my home country, so I had hands on experience to deal with seizure attack, etc. Besides, I am quite familiar with psychiatric issues which might happen among children as my original back ground is a psychiatric nurse, in this respect, I guess a school nurse position might be a good option for me to start new career here than jumping into a hospital setting) Is it possible for working as 1:1 nurse for starter and moving on as a school nurse in a nursing office? (based on online searching, most of the school nurses are American nurses and foreign nurses under staffing companies, in NY city are usually assigned as a 1:1 nurse as they don't have working experience in the USA and a green card in the beginning. I also heard that once you take either work, related to school nurse position, It will be quite difficult to go back to bedside nursing at a hospital. I am interested in working as a school nurse. However, I concern if it is not a good choice to take a 1:1 nurse for my nursing career here. Thank you for all your advice.

Hello Sir or Madam, I would like to receive your advice what kinds of specialties are available for foreign nurses in the U.S. I am a Korean nurse who has 7 years-work experience in South Korea, BSN, and passed NCLEX and CGFNS. I have a F2 visa as my husband is a Ph.D student in Texas. Unless I get a greed card, it seems pretty difficult to find a sponsor. Thus, I am planing to just focus on studying English and nursing knowledge until my husband's graduation. It will take 2 more years. At this time, applying master degree is not a feasible option for me due to lack of money. I would like to keep study nursing more or get more certificates for the future. However, many specialties such as CCRN(Certified critical care nurse) are requested to have nursing experience in the U.S. or Canada for certain hours even applying for its test. Do you know which programs or specialities are good for international nurses in order to well prepare for the future job market? I already know Wound care nurse would be a good option as an international nurse are allowed to apply for its program. However, it needs almost $7000 to finish the program. Thus.. I am considering it later because of tight budget. Anyone can give useful advice.. please let me know.. I do not want to waste my time for 2years. I am also volunteering in a hospital and a nursing home as well. Thank you in advance. Gloria Chae
