  1. New Yorker looking to attend nursing school in The Philippines

    Ginger's Mom replied to Ryan NYC's topic in Philippines

    NCLEX is the bare bone basic for one to be licensed at as nurse. It is one metric ( of many metrics) to determine the success of a school. Agencies like the NLN, State Board Of Nursing, and The Sigma...

  2. Need your advice please..co filipino

    Ginger's Mom replied to samlozano's topic in International Nursing

    The good news is that you have been accepted in the ADN ( which is hard to get into). Have you applied to any BSN programs for people who have a BA/BS? There is also the direct entry MSN option in the...

  3. Foreign grad, passed the nclex last month, still no job

    Ginger's Mom replied to rigs's topic in General Nursing

    LTC you would have a better chance applying in person. Your family waited a long time to come to the USA and now it is your home. It may take several months to find a job, treat job hunting like a...

  4. Nursing job and time off-How flexible?

    Ginger's Mom replied to Naoko2001's topic in General Nursing

    Look for a part time PN program, many CNA work and go to school at the same time, and best of luck with your

  5. Foreign grad, passed the nclex last month, still no job

    Ginger's Mom replied to rigs's topic in General Nursing

    The job market is very tough, many nurses make connections in nursing school since your education was outside the US you don't have that experience. How long have you been out of nursing ? A refresher...

  6. Need advice/thoughts from Experienced Nurses...feeling discouraged

    Ginger's Mom replied to nickynoodles's topic in Nursing Career

    Nursing has employment cycles, this is a down cycle who knows by the time you graduate the cycle may change. Nursing does offer lots of flexibility. If your program has an evening section enroll in...

  7. LVN instead in distance learning - would love some advice!

    Ginger's Mom replied to bsn2b2013's topic in Online Distance Learning

    EC seems to be the best fit for you if you think you maybe moving soon, it won't give you 100% portability. Many LPN to RN are a year in length but can't be transferred. Good

  8. Does anyone else find nursing school... easy?

    Ginger's Mom replied to Guerilla04's topic in General Students

    Some people are blessed and don't have to study hard. Also I would not judge a nursing program by the first semester which is the

  9. Nursing job and time off-How flexible?

    Ginger's Mom replied to Naoko2001's topic in General Nursing

    People who don't know what the heck they are talking about should probably refrain from replying to employment-related threads and confusing the OP. You are incorrect, you are allow 12 weeks a...

  10. In VA looking for a petitioner (currently on H4)

    Ginger's Mom replied to ciufi's topic in International Nursing

    "Ciufi clearly stated that she is on H4 currently. That does NOT mean that she has or has not got a SSN. Nor does it matter. She is looking for a petitioner, and if petitioned for a visa would...

  11. New Yorker looking to attend nursing school in The Philippines

    Ginger's Mom replied to Ryan NYC's topic in Philippines

    The UK and other English Speaking nursing programs don't mirror US curriculum, this makes these English Speaking nurses at a disadvantage taking a US based exam. My understanding is that the...

  12. In VA looking for a petitioner (currently on H4)

    Ginger's Mom replied to ciufi's topic in International Nursing

    I agree with Nursecubanitarn2be something is not adding up. If your husband has a green card and you were included in his petition you will be all set. Otherwise he will be in the same retrogression...

  13. In VA looking for a petitioner (currently on H4)

    Ginger's Mom replied to ciufi's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks you are correct she did not mention a SSN, unfortunately she will be stuck after all the hard work getting her nursing license with out a

  14. In VA looking for a petitioner (currently on H4)

    Ginger's Mom replied to ciufi's topic in International Nursing

    I am confused H4 from what I have read is dependent status and does not allow you to get a SSN or work. So you can't work in the USA at the current time. You can apply for a sponsorship but you will...

  15. nurse with almost a year of experience needs some advice

    Ginger's Mom replied to sephine's topic in International Nursing

    One year is not enough, hang in there to complete one whole year. In the USA most hospitals will not count your experience as one year unless you work 12 months, if you work 11 months you are consider...

  16. GA BON Complaint

    Ginger's Mom replied to DogWmn's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Nursing has changed so much since 1991, I don't think a RN or LPN taking a refresher course would be complete. Yikes, you can complete a PN program in 9 months. I don't think there is any excuse of...

    Ginger's Mom replied to zivka's topic in International Nursing

  18. Temporary RN license in NY

    Ginger's Mom replied to zivka's topic in International Nursing

    Are you saying your problem has been resolved? It sounds like it, I hate to be a complainer, but it seemed like you exhausted all the reasonable

  19. New Yorker looking to attend nursing school in The Philippines

    Ginger's Mom replied to Ryan NYC's topic in Philippines

    When I look at that report, I see DC 85.7% and NH 88.9% for the total year, I believe you are looking at quarterly reports not the annual numbers. See page

  20. va licensure

    Ginger's Mom replied to janetcruz's topic in International Nursing

    Looks like what the state is trying to do avoid the test but have the courses evaluated. You would not be able to sit for the November CGFNS, hopefully the law will change before the next test....

  21. Visa Options for Filipino Nurses

    Ginger's Mom replied to iamawomantolove's topic in International Nursing

    Health care is changing in the US. No one can predict how it will shake out. There is talk of replacing some of the RN models of care which may require less RNS. Hospital admissions are down and...

  22. va licensure

    Ginger's Mom replied to janetcruz's topic in International Nursing

    The reason why you should call is that the BON is asking for public comment ( which has closed). Based on public comments, they are looking to change the way foreign nurses are evaluated. I am trying...

  24. New and after some advice re USA

    Ginger's Mom replied to Royce Lidasan's topic in International Nursing

    I can understand your need for a job. Many US nurses are having difficulty finding jobs and they all have families who depend on them like your family depends on you. Many US nurses have large student...

  25. Considering Practical Nursing Clinical Instructor Position

    Ginger's Mom replied to chaiteaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Usually the pay is less than you make as a Staff Nurse. There are school politics ( different from Hospital Politics). Pros: I found the students appreciative, hard working, and motivated. Some did...
