1. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

   phoebe2020 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   First of all, I would have questioned the fact that I am giving Versed to an unmonitored patient. I would have honestly asked the physician for something less potent! Midazolam is more likely to have respiratory side effects than say, a low dose Lora...

2. Hemolyzed Tubes - scientific question

   phoebe2020 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have a sciencey question for y'all. 😊 This morning I submitted a CBC (one purple top) and BMP/Mag (one green top) for my patient - I drew them all from the same spot at the same time. Now, I did draw them from an PIV. I am aware of the increas...

3. Health Carousel/Passport USA

   phoebe2020 replied to bebe13's topic in International

   I'm going to recommend to anyone who chooses to leave their contract early - get a lawyer to give your notice and negotiate the breach penalties for you. Threatening to deport because you decide to take a different course for your life is not a depor...

4. I wish I had known about this program before!

   phoebe2020 posted a topic in Immigration

   Hey all, I am an International RN working in the USA. I emigrated from the UK via one of those popular international global healthcare staffing corporations. While it was a good way to get to the USA and I am grateful for the opportunity to do s...

5. Amedisys in Texas

   phoebe2020 posted a topic in Job Hunt

   Hey, Anyone work for Amedisys as a Case Manager in the DFW area? I have a phone interview on Monday. I can't find much information about them in this area. I read Indeed reviews about other states... I read some great things, and some bad things...

   All of your coworkers you left behind in Bismarck still miss you, Vince. :P But they're happy for you!

7. Gap of Nurse experience

   phoebe2020 replied to cyril88's topic in International

   I think it would be easy to explain, as as long as you have worked as an actual nurse in the last few years. Its such a pain getting into the UK. Have you considered applying to work in another country? Australia is pretty straight forward. I know fo...

8. Health Carousel/Passport USA

   phoebe2020 replied to bebe13's topic in International

   Thanks!! I had the interview before I got the embassy interview, as it was pretty close to the interview date. I was actually interviewed with a Long Term Care Facility in Maine, and even though they offered me the job, I begged PPUSA to not make me ...

9. Gap of Nurse experience

   phoebe2020 replied to cyril88's topic in International

   They've changed some of their regs, but I think its something like 5 years is the maximum gap but you have to prove that you have had some sort of nursing employment in that time. I would check their website just to be sure. I have a friend who was l...

10. Hospitals that sponsor H1b

    phoebe2020 replied to Ferrao's topic in International

    Well, you apply for a work visa, and your employer sponsors you for it. You have to get your Visa Screen completed with CGFNS, which can take a few months to get the paperwork together and then submitted. Once that's done, its like you're "pre-approv...

11. Out of attempts for NCLEX

    phoebe2020 replied to catmom713's topic in NCLEX

    I mean, I know its not the RN, but have you tried taking the LPN exam? I know someone that did that. He couldn't pass the NLCEX RN, but he works as an LPN now. We went to school together and graduated with a BSN. Its maybe something you can consider.

12. Hospitals that sponsor H1b

    phoebe2020 replied to Ferrao's topic in International

    I doubt you'll find anyone willing to sponsor on the H1B as the government has cracked down heavily since a lot of people were abusing the system. H1B is usually not an option for nurses. However, look at getting sponsored for permanent residency. It...

13. English RN passed NCLEX: Now to use agency or direct hire in USA?

    phoebe2020 replied to HelenaUK's topic in International

    Did you end up going with Passport USA? I'm English, and I signed with them. I wanted Texas where my boyfriend is, but I'm going to North Dakota, where its cold! But I have heard so many good things about that hospital, and I got the unit that I want...

15. Interview at St. Alexius!

    phoebe2020 replied to LadyGiaRN's topic in North Dakota

    Oh, out of curiosity, which unit did you interview for? I'm heading into their PCU/Tele floor sometime next month. And I'm sure you did fine!! They seemed friendly with me - mine was a skype interview as I am living in the UK at the moment. That was...
