PLease don't use "tagalog" words here... We have rules on this site and foreign friends reads our thread and not all of them can understand our language. Thank you..

You can inquire in POEA. Ask some friends if they can recommend any agency. But don't fall for it yet. Whatever agency you chose, gather facts first before signing. Take note, employers prefers RN with experience. I know Middle East hires RN with no experience but there's been a changed lately. Experience is an edge...

Let this be a warning for all of you. If an agency pays any of the fees for you, then they own the documents that you would be getting. This means that the license is their property as well as the Visa Screen Certificate; etc.

If you chose to move on to another company, you will owe them thousands of dollars to get these from them. And with the fact that you are going to be looking at years for a chance at a visa for the US, it would be very wise to go for work in another province that is in need of nurses or to another country first.

You will seldom find an agency that pays ALL the expenses. The usual, agencies require you to have those qualifying exams/certificates upon applying, they reimburse to you the expenses once you land in the state/territory after weeks/months.
Follow the advices here, check the job postings and recruitment agencies at POEA, but then again, that's not an assurance that once an agency has an active licensed it means your safe. You still have to check their credibility thru those people they had deployed. Hope this help.
