ogp revised contract

suzanne4, RN · Nov 9, 2006

Hate to throw this in but the newer contracts that are now signed with them have a $45,000 cancellation clause.

The issue is not what they are losing but that so many nurses are not completing contracts with them, also even an $8,000 cancelation if the nurse cancels their contract before they even take the NCLEX exam.

Please read the contracts carefully.

And they usually will give you the amendment to sign just before the interview with immigration.

Would you believe I was told that amongst 400 contracts sent by OGP, I am one of the 20 who have not send back and sign the forms..That my application is on hold until I don't sign them..... Those who are from OGP and have not sign the forms,,,I need your hands and comments please!!!!

i think it is very difficult

if your sponsership is going to be withdrawn if you dont sign then you have a hard choice to make

but surely the contract you signed in the first place is now being broken by them? as they are threatening to delay your paperwork?

This is a very interesting thread and I have watched it with interest since it began. Unfortunatly you are never really going to read on here how nurses have been used and abused by OGP. The main reason is that most of the unfortunate nurses who have had problems with this Agency are too frightened to speak out against them because of fear of reprisals. This has the knock on effect for everybody because although we live in a democratic world with free speech this in not true when faced with a law suit from OGP for liable.
OGP READ EVERYTHING ON HERE AND WILL RETALIATE
I do not think that many nurses come to the US with the intention of trying to defraud OGP-many of the nurses have unfortunate events happen to them, and then are punished further by OGP who demand money they dont have or OGP simply ignore the situation. There is NO support mechanism from OGP in the US. They do try but what they need is a UK person who has been through the emigration process, instead of an American who has no clue of what it is like to move countries and jobs.
I hope and I pray that many of you have good experiences when you come to the US, but if you dont I am sorry. Make sure you establish a support network as soon as you can, because it is lonely here until you do. Remember you have no back up.
I have been a support for many UK nurses, I have been there bought the T shirt and read the book. Trust others who say it takes a year to settle, it does and it will be a long year.
Once you have settle and understood the rules and regulations of the country you will have a great life.
Good Luck

I heard today that some OGP nurses in Jersey, are taking a class action law suit against OGP-after they arrived in this country their nursing licences ran out and it took OGP months to sort out and they didnt get paid during the time it took to sort the licences out!!! Another example of lack of support.

It seems to me that OGP are blackmailing their clients into signing an ammendment to their initial contract, now i wonder by law if this is acceptable unless both parties agree.

Of course the blackmail bit is the fact that you will remain in the UK unless you do it.

If everybody stood together and refused then they would be unable to complete their contracts/committments stateside-of course you will all sign and they know this. They are playing on your desperate need to get to the US.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't O'Grady Peyton part of the "Evil Empire" American Mobile Healthcare/Nursing.

That should say enough about them. I've worked as traveler for them....and NEVER again.
