  2. U.k nurse employment

    misswoosie replied to bigboi's topic in International Nursing

    Lots of variables may influence why they can't recruit Band 5 nurses. The hospital may not want "new grads" and more experienced nurses will be trying to get up the ladder and won't be prepared to...

    misswoosie replied to LemuelRN's topic in Immigration Advice

  14. Shout up if you're waiting for Green card

    misswoosie replied to misswoosie's topic in International Nursing

    Wish we could get more feedback here. There were lots of RNs who used to post and all were in the same position. Wonder what happened to everyone else? The US should collect some data on number of RNs...

  15. From US to UK

    misswoosie replied to scully_forensic's topic in International Nursing

    I agree, that's also my motto in relation to Green Card here in the USA. I may decide that, if I get GC through my husbands job, I don't want to go into nursing afterall. Kind of leaves a sour taste...

    misswoosie replied to finks's topic in International Nursing

    misswoosie replied to scully_forensic's topic in International Nursing

  21. H1b Visa for nurses under FY 2010

    misswoosie replied to LemuelRN's topic in Immigration Advice

    See what Silver dragon said, plus whether a hospital will petition for EB-2 really depends on how much they value your experience, so basically, if they offer you the job. You would have to do a US...

    misswoosie replied to LemuelRN's topic in Immigration Advice
