portion of the taxes and the nurse pays a portion of her own taxes. The
amount of taxes depends on the number of children, medical expense
deductions, retirement plan contributions, and many other factors. We
estimate that somewhere between 18-25% of total salary is common. » 30. What benefits will I receive in United States? The Same pay rate and all other benefits as a US nurse with equal
experience (Medical, dental, vision, retirement, paid vacation, sick
days etc.) Some hospitals also offer their own benefits, such as child

bus system that will pick your children up and drop them off at a
convenient place close to home. You will also be able to drive them to
school yourself if you choose. You will learn more in our orientation
program. » 32. Will you help my spouse get a job? No. We are not set up to help place non medical personnel. If your
spouse has a medical background, we will probably be able to help. But
we do not guarantee this. In any case, your spouse will be able to look
for a job abd start working under your immigration status as soon as
you arrive. » 33. Should my family come immediately or later? We suggest bringing your family to US 3-6 weeks after your arrival.
This will give you time to get settled. But this is entirely up to you. » 34. Where will I live? Will you help me get an apartment? Most people rent an apartment on their own, and pay for it out of their
generous salary. Our orientation program will prepare you for dealing
with housing on your own. If you need additional assistance, we will be
there to help. In some cases we will offer housing or a living
allowance for exceptional candidates. |
