I'm back in the saddle from my celebration ( after passing NCLEX) :)
I've read everything i could here and have 3 questions.
1) I'm going to wait until i get my VSC (following your advice, as always :) )... but, when do i go and apply for a job? Shell i wait until i have VSC for that too?( i've already used my OPT).
2) Is there anything i need to know about the contract? ( i'm scared to get tricked somehow).
3) And the last one... I've been in US for almost 5 years now and haven't gone home yet even once ( i'm here on F1 status). After i apply for green card and start working, when can i go home for a visit? I know you can apply for a travel document while waiting, but will the hospital let me go? If yes, how soon and for how long?
Suzanne, just a little hello and update from me...
I got offers from 5 units, but accepted med/surg medicine unit. It was a tough decision, but i thought where will i learn more? Also, i really liked the manager there.
They also told me that they don't do contracts. All they gave me was a letter stating that they offered me a job.
About putting vacation dates in the contract... Well, because there is no contract, the only way i can get some time off to go home is to talk directly to the manager.
Now i'm ready to file and wait for VSC and work permit.
