The 2 years experience is AFTER you have completed and obtained your nursing degree and your RN license.  You then work for 2 years in a hospital on one of their specialty areas...(I suggest you get your 2 years experience as an emergency room nurse, or an ICU nurse.  This will give you the best experience in a speciality area that is often looked for by the US hospitals.)  These two years of working on a hospital floor will allow you to get experience in ALL procedures and to give ALL types of medications.  As a student you can only do these under supervision... and that is not considered as fulfilling the 2 years experience that hospitals require.  After you have graduated, and completed your two years experience then you get your references and can come to the US.  You must be fluent in your English language skills... fluent in reading, writing and speaking English with patients, medical personnel and patient's relatives.  Many patients will not be able to understand dialects of a foreign language.  You will have to do your charting in English.  When you are ready to come to the US, get a US newspaper and look for ads in the classified area for hospitals looking to hire nurses.  Many will have hiring bonuses and may even help with the moving expenses... or get a US magazine or go on the Internet.  And yes, hospitals in the US need nurses... you may have to obtain a US nursing license by taking the RN exam after you get to the US... you better check this out and be prepared to retake your RN licensing exam again. Good luck...Signed... a BSN RN nurse

try and get work at local doctors office as a medical asst. Since you are a nursing student you should know the nuts and bolts of medical assting. Being a nursing student should give you some merit and should carry a little weight in finding something in the health field. If not there then try something small like a retirement home or YMCA or Red Cross or somethnig to that extent. It'll look good on your resume and should, hopefully, give you some pocket change to go along with it.

A good role model for any health professional takes good care of your patients.  Do not neglect them, treat them with respect and dignity, and do no harm. As a nurse, you will have student nurses observing you, therefore you must perform your job duties well, as they will hopefully emulate your good performance.  Amongst many issues, do not talk negatively about the patient behind their back, especially to students.  This does nothing but give them the idea that it is okay.  I have obnserved this numerous times, especially in the nursing homes.  Some nurses have even been observed talking negatively about the patients directly in front of them, assuming they don't understand.  Basically, in a nutshell - perform your job duties well - including good infection control, but most importantly be treating your patients well!

For nursing student, look for care partner jobs or Nurse assistant, it is just like CNA but not the title of a CNA . Look also in Nursing student internship and externship, externship pays you while internship don't don't pays you. Look in city for nursing student program.

I started college in 1973 and didn't graduate till 1998. I went part time and changed majors a couple of times. I worked and raised a family and did all those life necessary things to get along in the world. I became a Registered Nurse in '98 and couldn't be prouder

It takes four years to get a bachelor of science in nursing.   The first two years are the basic English , algebra, chemistry, psychology etc.  The 2cnd two years are the nursing core  units... medical-surgical, psych, theory lectures, anatomy and physiology, practicals and hospital clinicals.  You should be strong in science and math.  You will have to write well to communicate and are expected to make a few formal papers with bibliography's etc.  I imagine it varies from uni to uni a little .  When you graduate you take your board exam that takes about 2 days and if you pass then you get your license ...You can contact universities that you are interested in and ask for course curriculum's. you can contact universities over the internet and most will send a full prospectus and application.  You could even tour them at your leisure. While you are still in high school....You can do volunteer work in a medical setting or an internship where available or work after school in a nursing home or hospital to be certain this is what you want to do. Keep in mind that some hospitals (the ones I have worked at) don't recognise anything less than a BSN..and that those who have less than a BSN may get lower pay. *I am not saying you are not as good as an RN...just the facts* Good luck

firstly, well done on doing your nursing degree. When someone tells you that you wont go anywhere- use that as a determining factor- work towards being someone who is going somewhere. The fact that you are completing a nursing degree proves my point.\nI think you should find this teacher, ask if he/she remembers you and what they said against you. Then politely inform them of how well you've done. Dont be harsh, be cool, calm, collected and PROUD.\nwell done.

Nurses have a wide variety of responsibilities, patient care, knowledge of the body how it works, knowledge of medicines and body systems. Nurses should enjoy caring for people and have the ability to not take mean people personal. I am a nursing student and unfortunately nursing is not for me although I love the science knowledge(switching my major to microbiology).

Yes! My very first experience in clinicals was at a hospital that was ranked the WORST VA hospital in the country. I now know why. Nurses treated us like we were in their way when actually we took all the "busy" work from them. They just have a routine and I guess students tend to disrupt that. Just use each rotation as your research to help you decide where you want to work (or don't want to work) when you graduate. Know that it's not the nurses that give you the grade. Remember these experiences when you become a nurse (and you will) and have students working with you. I had a FANTASTIC rotation this semester (my 3rd) on a unit where I thought it would be terrible and boring. The nurses were amazing and so appreciative of what we did. As you gain knowledge and experience, you will find that nurses are happier to have you since your scope of practice is larger and it's less work for them. Keep your chin up and remember that no one can treat you badly unless you let them! Report any nurse that is less than accomodating to the hospital and your instructor. We had that happen at the above mentioned "yucky" hospital and our instructor had our back. She quickly informed the nurse that it was a teaching hospital and if she wasn't willing to do so, she should find a non-teaching hospital to work at. Love those instructors!

I am an "older" nursing student. Start with the federal financial aid program. Many other programs are based on their criteria. Also check out Johnson & Johnson's nursing site. It is one of the best. Three good links are below. I hope this helps.
