Thank you all and especially Suzanne4 and LenaUK for all the useful information and tips!!:) To your question about our preferred location, Suzanne, we want to work in a big east coast city in an ICU(which is our specialty of many years). The agency said they will arrange interviews with interested facilities before we take the NCLEX so I assume the contract will be specific about the location. However, I didn`t know the agency takes X amount of $:s of my hourly salary. Is it standard procedure? How long will I pay, say I make a contrac of 2 yrs? What about shift bonuses and overtime, do I pay the agency for those hours? The agency hasn`t mentioned about any of that (naturally I will require that information before signing). Also, if I want to go on my own (I shouldn`t have any major problems with the GC since my husband and children are US citizens), how should I proceed and how much would it cost? What about my collegues (no prior US contact)? Any help greatly appreciated!!!:thankya:

Hello everyone, new in this forum.... Does anyone know how to determain an agencie`s trustworthines? Since there are so many agencies that hire internationally it is hard for a person overseas to know which company to trust. I and two collegues of mine are planning on coming to work in the US sometime next year. We`ve so far completed the IELTS and are studying for the NCLEX. But before signing any contract, we would like to know what specific details we should be aware of and perhaps caucious about. So any info about possible internet sites etc. will be greatly appreciated!! P.S Love these sites!
