Who/What should I believe?

[rookie_rn]

I can't help but notice that we have members here who post messages asking for advice and then get offended (angry?) if they don't receive the advice that they want to hear.

In likewise manner, I also notice that we have members here that seem to have a sense of authority over the subject who make absolute statements and/or give advice with a sense of finality.

Forgive me, but in my opinion, it is always best to seek the counsel of a person who has legitimate authority, accurate knowledge, and verifiable information about the subject at hand.

To my fellow foreign RNs, I want to believe that you are well-educated professionals. If you are going to post a message asking for advice, I sincerely hope that you are able to receive positive replies with grace (and negative replies with humility) :redbeathe Besides, with the power of the internet, the world is in your hands. You can search for all the information that you need on your own (instead of asking people here and then receiving info that may or may not be accurate).

I also hope that we here at allnurses.com can be responsible enough to avoid making/giving generalized statements that are inaccurate, unreliable, and unverifiable :)

Thank you and more power to allnurses.com :balloons:

That's why it's best to contact the state board regarding anything regarding licensing because in the end they're the ones who make the final decision. it's also best to speak with an attorney regarding immigration. Those two sources along with many others are verifiable. Thank you for pointing it out, and thank you for your respected opinion.

I understand what you are saying rookie rn, but I think most posters are just gathering information from allnurses and are being referred to reliable resources to make their individual career decisions.

A big concern for many posters in the international forum is inability to find work and I am not sure nurses from different countries can fully understand each others perspectives in this problem.

I don't think that people are intentionally trying to mislead, but they are just giving out out of date info.

Also a lot of people seeking advise are getting advise from someone other than allnurses.com and it's also oudated as the previous poster stated.
