World Philippines

Published

hello people! just wanting to have a survey on which countries nurses from philippines prefer to work.

tell me your reasons......

tah!

maria :D

I've been living and working in UK for almost 7 years now and I have a mortgage and a British citizenship. I went to San Francisco, LA, Las vegas and Reno last year to check out the places, their lifestyle, schools for my kids and possible job for my husband who is an electrical engineer. I am telling you the possiblities and opportunities are endless. Nurse-patient ratio is 1 : 4 to 5 while I have to struggle with 15 acutely ill patients with 2 care assistants (MAU) or 10 patients in A&E Majors. :scrying: :flamesonb

I pay £400 - 450 for my tax, £220 for NI and £130 for pension and my take home pay 0.00 as you have to pay the mortgage £895, council tax £135, water and gas £85, mobile/phone/tv/internet £100 and TV license £13 and credit cards and groceries.

So, hopefully I will be able to pack up my bags and book my ticket for USA soon. Good luck for all of us.:balloons:

if i answered this 2005... I would say USA

I am a Filipino and since late 2005 there was a retrogression so now i am looking at 3 countries... Canada, Auz and NZ

I am a second courser and heard that NZ does not accept it so I am left to two.

I originally wanted Canada but I wa thinking of my retirement and cost of visiting my home country very so often so I am choosing Auz.

Auz is only 7.5 hours away from the Philippines. There is also snow in the mountains so I can still learn to ski and a lot of shorelines so i can still enjoy the beach. The best of both worlds.

Auz is where I want to be.

With 3 kids and a supportive husband, I am looking forward to migrate there in years time.

So help me God.

i agree with you dolce. i am a fresh grad and just passed the local boards this june but i cannot make up my mind on which country to choose

i want to go to the US - family is there but with the retrogression and financial crisis?

SAUDI - because i have no experience but im still 21 y/o

Canada - cost of living really burdens me

Australia - i know nobody and i have no idea yet.

I dont know what to do :D

USA- 7 year wait.

Saudi- go if they have an opening

Canada- not all areas accept Philippine education, wonderful country, and you will be making a heck of a lot more than you are making now.

Australia -beautiful country, may have to do a program before practicing.

FYI... my friend from Ontario who is a second courser graduate from the Philippines just passed the CRNE and He did not have to do additional studies in Canada.

It just proves that Philippines education is accepeted but it is a case to case basis and ou really have to challenge the NUrsing Council.

But again weather is still muh better in OZ... so OZ is still my choice

It is all done on an individual basis and goes on what is on your transcripts. There are a couple of threads in the International forum discussing ways for Canada
