  1. Visa Bulletin Oct 09

    Ginger's Mom replied to Silverdragon102's topic in International Nursing

    The only reason she had to wait is to complete her education, which could have been done in the USA. So I guess money ( cheaper to go to school internationally ) won over

  2. Visa Bulletin Oct 09

    Ginger's Mom replied to Silverdragon102's topic in International Nursing

    I would not continue to address his posts, except when it effects patient care. Working 60 hours a week is unsafe nursing practice, it doesn't matter where you are a new grad or an experienced nurse....

  3. Endorsment from CA to TX

    Ginger's Mom replied to erezsha77's topic in International Nursing

    A major reason for medical errors is miscommunication, that is why all nurses who work in the USA need good command of the English language. It is not uncommon to have a MD who English is a second...

  4. Endorsment from CA to TX

    Ginger's Mom replied to erezsha77's topic in International Nursing

    The Test is mentioned on the website ( Texas Board of Nursing).I would read it and give them a call. I think the message is that every nurse needs to be competent in English. The more you speak and...

  5. Quickest processing time: Illinois, Vermont or California

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

    There is no one answer. It all depends where what country you went to school and the requirements of the state. The best place to get a license is the state you are going to be

  6. Endorsment from CA to TX

    Ginger's Mom replied to erezsha77's topic in International Nursing

  8. Terminated after applying to another department...Is this legal???

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

    I agree with your co workers, just show up and work. It sounds like they were counseling you. Do the best job you can do. If they say you are terminated, I would ask for it in

  9. Visa Bulletin Oct 09

    Ginger's Mom replied to Silverdragon102's topic in International Nursing

    This is way off topic. Research has shown working the schedule your wife is working is unsafe for her patients and her professional practice. Nursing is more than money, there are patient lives...

  10. Terminated after applying to another department...Is this legal???

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

    If you were in your 90 probationary period they don't have to give you any reason. Best of luck finding a new position. It was not a good introduction into nursing. Since you were let go during your...

  11. IEN bound to Alberta, Canada- please read

    Ginger's Mom replied to mercan sux's topic in International Nursing

    The stats I have read is that Canadian educated nurses pass at the 96% range. I would not see 80% pass rate as something to brag about. Also these international nurses where allowed to work as...

  12. Visa Bulletin Oct 09

    Ginger's Mom replied to Silverdragon102's topic in International Nursing

    This is unsafe for any nurse, studies have shown that nurses make errors with that amount of OT. New graduates need to be mentored and doing over time with have an adverse effect for

  13. H1b Visa for nurses under FY 2010

    Ginger's Mom replied to LemuelRN's topic in Immigration Advice

    no at six months you are still a beginner, to be competent you would need to be able to pass a certification test which most require 1-3 years

  14. JUST GOT HIRED!

    Ginger's Mom replied to hopingtobeanRNsoon's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I believe Kindred in Dedham is a nursing home with complex patients with little staffing. If you have great clinical skills from nursing school you can keep you head above

  15. Foreign RN about to work in LTC

    Ginger's Mom replied to iamnomad's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Great point, for those reasons I checked though the OP posts and see that the OP is from the Philippines and does not have an immigrant visa or a USA

  16. Test scores that got you into Quincy College

    Ginger's Mom replied to bdawgs's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Have you checked if there are spots for the fall usually the RN program is full and there maybe RN spots

  17. Foreign RN about to work in LTC

    Ginger's Mom replied to iamnomad's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I bet they had a green card, since retrogression is in effect, the only legal way is H1B, which means advanced practice, manager or specialty that requires a BSN....

  18. Foreign RN about to work in LTC

    Ginger's Mom replied to iamnomad's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If you are coming over on a H1B you must be either advanced practice ( NPs are used in long term care but I don't think there is training overseas for this). Otherwise you should be working as a...

  19. Please use some discretion when posting as a foreign nurse

    Ginger's Mom replied to suzanne4's topic in California Nursing

    H1B is for a very highly trained nurse with a speciality ( which is verified with passing a certification exam) or advanced practice Nurse good point since these nurses would need that for h1b, or to...

  20. Extra eyes for a new grad- LPN

    Fallon Clinic is good, have you checked hospitals, doctors offices based in hospitals have to employ licensed nurses it is a DPH regulation. Hospitals do not employ LPNs for the floor but MD offices...

    Ginger's Mom replied to examinee0705's topic in Philippines

    You will not be working as nurse, but a lower level employee, washing patients, cleaning, doing non professional work that won't be counted as nursing experience. My understanding student status does...

  22. Working as an ambulance nurse

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

    There is no ambulance nurse in the USA. There are nurses who are EMTS and Paramedics but there is no special license for an ambulance

  23. Soon to be an RN and confused

    Ginger's Mom replied to free2z2008's topic in International Nursing

    I would also assume people the unqualified H1B are working with would question their legal status and once it is investigated they are deported back
