Visa bulletin for May 09

So many on AOS are taking away the visas for those on CP like those waiting in the Philippines. There's too many of them that those on CP don't have a chance anymore. Are they being prioritized over those still on CP?
The nice thing about those on AOS is that they are already working and contributing to the economy of the USA by paying taxes, maybe that's why they are given visas first. Looks like its better to do an AOS than be retrogressed forever under CP.
I'll bet this same thing will happen next fiscal year in October 2009. Retrogression is forever for those waiting on CP. By the looks of it, many Pinoys have wised up and noticed the awful fact that being a nurse is not an automatic ticket to the USA. It involves a lot of expenses, FEDEX and examinations, only to have those efforts wasted by lack of visas.
First year enrollment in nursing in the Philippines is now going down, and this is very good news that we hope will continue. The nursing craze for the Philippines is OVER, the American dream of a nursing job is in deep freeze. Parents and students of Pinoy nursing, look at this Visa Bulletin and gain wisdom - quit while you're ahead.

It may be worth the wait but only as long as they do not procrastinate and not gain nursing experience. If they have to wait over 5 years their nursing skills will be long out of date and employers will more than likely expect to see job experience gained.

i am a clinical instructor & a lot of 1st years would say
"i want to be a nurse to earn dollars/euros (or whatever the currency they targets)."
although teaching students to become nurses is what i do for living
i still think that nursing is not for everybody who desires to be one
plainly because their parents/uncles/aunts/grandparents/benefactors wanted them to be.
i still could remember, 2001 when i started nursing education, we were 600+ back then
when we graduated after 4 years, only 105 of us left, & 70% passed the board on 1st take.
its sad to learn that a lot of people think our profession is the answer for all their problems.
yet along the way, its good that they realize that its not.
