foreign nursing grad struggling???Rating: (votes: 0) If its not what you want, then Yes, look for another job. When you go to the interviews ask what type of orientation program they have, how long, and classes, etc. Even ask to shadow a nurse on a shift for the floor you are interviewing on. You need to find the right fit where you can be happy about doing the work. Don't settle for a position that you are not happy in, diba? Comment:
sounds like you landed yourself a job in a subacute facility. It still isn't considered "acute care," unfortunately... I was in the same position as you. I worked in subacute for 5 months and tried my luck in a hospital. I don't think you'll need a refresher course... just get yourself into one of the new grad positions and you'll be fine. They'll train you well before allowing you to be on your own.All it takes is a little confidence. Guts! Us foreign grads often don't have that... we feel a bit inferior. Here are a few tips I've read that should help you. They're very true...http://www.ehow.com/how_6034386_succ...ign-nurse.htmlBest of luck! I've been working in a hospital for over 3 years now. The last 6 months in ICU.

@hopingtobeanRNsoon:Did you find your job yet?? I am in the same situation as you. I'm a Filipino nurse who wish to work here. I'm holding a j1 visa (cultural exchange visa), and also a California RN license. Right now I am looking for a hospital or other institutions or agency who can sponsor me. But so far wala pa akong makitang hospital na mag sponsor sa akin, and my visa will expired on December this year na rin...I'm so stress and helpless na tlaga! I've been doing this since May pa as soon as I got my license. I have talk to several hospitals already and all end up sayign the same lines,...(I'm sorry where not sponsoring visa right now)Would you be kind enough to give me any idea as to where should I try my application to? I hope you understand my situation too, the same situation you had before. I'm very desperate right now...any comments and suggestions will deeply appreciated. Have a good one everyone!!!
