does this make sense?
Hmm. I don't know. Suzanne is the best one to answer this.
Do you know that in the Phils. even if you have already at least 2-3 years exp. and would be transferring to the "better hospitals" they will still require you to undergo their hospital training before they hire you.
I have a few friends who already have easily at least 2-3 yrs O.R. experience and when they transferred to A---n hospital they have to undergo their training and start from scratch before they get hired. I don't know if this is the same policy in St. L---'s or other better hospitals but if this is happening in the Phils. then what more for Fil. nurses transferring to US hospitals where the disparity in facilities, equipments, and practices is even greater.
Would you like to comment?
