Hi Nepali-nurse,
About me,
--I went to Buffalo, NY for my undergrad in Nursing and had a job interview where i had clinical. It was a good interview but didn't get any job coz didnt have any experience as CNA. But my school was tough N expensive. I had a phone interview from michigan state (its a medical university) but forget the name. But, didnt hire me may be my english wasn't good enough I guess!!. I knew one of my frn's frn who worked in home health care (Indian owner) had H1B from there N they promised me that they will hire me N apply for H1B. So, i came here in texas but didnt get any job. currently I m in Dallas, Tx.
About your question,
It is unethicial to ask about the status before they hire you and its unethical to fire somone beacuse of the status. If they fire you beacuse of OPT, you can sue them unless their company policy is not to hire foreginer. But, my case was different beacuse when i had interview in transitional care unit, the HR was aware of OPT from previous employee and asked me if i can work legally. Thats where i got problem. But, in usual case, HR is not supposed to ask your status in job interview and will not ask even. (for me only 1 had asked abt my status). Once you are hired, you have to show proof of work permit. The place where i m working now, they didnt even saw my opt card, they just made a copy, didnt ask my passport either N i was worried coz i just have 7 more months to work only.
The probable hospital to hire you would be medical universities where they give provide training to new grads. But pls make sure you apply for nurse residency or RN intern position. N for new grad, the hospitals would hire twice a year. one is on july and another is feb. but the application date for july would be around May or before that and for Feb, the deadline would be nov or dec. So, you have to call hospital in HR number, ask if they hire new grads N if they do they will give u in which position to apply. it is becz there is specific positions for new grads N they will give u deadline. N pls remmeber, if you didnt pass NCLEX, you are gone!!! (Sorry, I could not get any suggestions in my time about job related and so had hard time getting job). These all were my experiences. I applied North dakota, NC, MI, TX, MA, NY, but didnt get any. its not me only, i have some US citizen who didnt get job for 1 year and started home health along with me. But i guess only problem with us is status.
Here in texas, Methodist hospital, covenant hospital, cooks children hospital N there r a lot.
** N remember some hospital would make u do aggrement for certain years and thats where you would get problem and have to leave job.
** Remember to file for H1B, the minimum requirement of the position have to be Bachelor and since Associate nursing is not different from BSN, the DON might have to change the requirement for the position to make BSN required. So, for hospitals which are not magnet recognised, that might be a problem as well and some DON may not be do that as well.
... Finally, i hope i have answered ur questions. But if you have any questions regarding nursing, post ur comment and i will answer as i can. But all i can give is u my personal experiences that might be helpful to you. N study well, N before giving NCLEX, post ur comment, i will send you some readings that would help you for ur NCLEX.
...... Take care...
