Re: Relief for retrogression hope???
Things have changed from what they were in the past, and the chances of someone getting to the US are getting slimmer, not increasing.
Add in the number of students that are enrolled in nursing schools in the Philippines now, quite an increase of probably ten fold from what it was in the past and it is going to be impossible for all to get to the US. Again, why is the US expected to take everyone that wishes to work here when your country will not even let a foreign nurse get licensed there as well.
Things need to be fixed there, and since the job outlook is becoming more dismal there and we are expecting the US to require work experience as a screening tool for them, how is someone going to get work experience when they do not even wish to get a local license and actually get experience someplace.
This thread has run its course and since there is nothing new on the horizon for the next few months at the minimum it is being closed.
There is no relief for the retrogression as it is going to be in place for sometime. The US has never had an open door policy, and never will. And the number of applicants far exceeds the number of visas.
There is no reason to give someone hope when the chances are getting slimmer and not going to be better. And I have been working in this field for probably more years than many of you havew been on this planet, so lets be realistic with who is actually working in nursing and trying to make a difference.
Of the past posts in the day or two, not one has had any suggestions or recommendations, but just jibes at the moderators here and others for presenting what is actually going on, not what you think is happening. And this is not going to be tolerated here. If we did not care, we would not even take the time to be posting here, when I could be sleeping.
And funny thing is that many of you still contact me for my help and I offer it.
