  1. Are the Military Bases Hiring LPN's

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    As in most places, the job market here is very tight right now. When I moved here years ago, I could pick and choose between facilities. The newspaper was full of ads for both RNs and LPNs. Now, there...

  2. Ohio BON, liscense renewal questions

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to mattiya1326's topic in International Nursing

    Additional comment about the CEU's for Ohio renewal: The CEU's need to include one hour of credit pertaining to the licensure of nurses in Ohio. And you will definitely need to keep your CEU...

  3. No Nursing Positions

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in International Nursing

    You raise a very good point, Alexk49. I have wondered the same thing, as I am sure many others have. Redranger speaks vehemently, always "informing" the rest of us of the great educational system in...

  4. No Nursing Positions

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in International Nursing

    I certainly hope you are joking, redranger! If not, you are very out-of-touch with the mindset of the American public. I don't know a single 22-year-old Bostonian who would ever even consider moving...

  5. US VISA

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to angeXOXO's topic in International Nursing

    Wow! You really need to do some reading on these forums, so that you don't ask the same question that has been asked hundreds of times before. With the current increase in unemployment, there is...

  6. A shortage of nurses, and common sense

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to greenjungle's topic in International Nursing

    Ugh. People have used that argument for years, and it's just not true. Americans pick up each other's trash. Americans clean out each other's septic tanks. The real issue is that Americans want...

  7. Fastest state to apply for NCLEX

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to bettorjon's topic in Immigration Advice

    You do realize this thread hasn't been active since 2006! A lot has changed since then, so there may be more recent threads that address these issues...just a

  8. A shortage of nurses, and common sense

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to greenjungle's topic in International Nursing

    It's too bad that Korina Sanchez doesn't read the allnurses forum--if she did, she'd "get it!" But obviously she hasn't been paying attention. If she had, she'd stop writing things like "Hopefully...

  9. New oppurtunities from the US Armed forces

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to juliuscesar1212's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks for the clarification and the link, Kosmonavt. So, basically, in order for a foreign nurse to qualify for this program, they need to: 1. Have graduated from a nursing school in the US, not a...

  10. New oppurtunities from the US Armed forces

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to juliuscesar1212's topic in International Nursing

    Can you please clarify what you mean? I read all the links and the fact sheet, and I do not see anything that specifies that the foreign nurses have to be US-educated. If so, I assume that most people...

  11. The Truth Behind the "Nursing Shortage"

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to greenjungle's topic in International Nursing

    I believe the article is referring to nursing in the US--it doesn't mention anything about the Philippines, so I am not quite sure why you are bringing it up. The US is not a Third World country. US...

  12. A blatant discrimination to all filipino nurses

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to boot_unit's topic in International Nursing

    The fact that you are questioning your skills is a positive thing, not a negative thing! There is nothing more dangerous than a brand new nurse who thinks they already know everything. It's wise to be...

  13. U.S. healthcare system pinched by nursing shortage

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to jbc76's topic in International Nursing

    Finally...a president who is paying attention! I think it's great that he is "alarmed" by the idea of having to import foreigners to fill positions in the US healthcare system. Maybe some of the...

  14. A blatant discrimination to all filipino nurses

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to boot_unit's topic in International Nursing

    I'm not really sure why you posted that link. Of course "Rommel"--a Filipino nurse-- thinks that Filipino nurses are "the best in the world!" Maybe he's "hurt" and "insulted" that not many people...

  15. Volunteer Nurse

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to WinterFairyRN's topic in International Nursing

    Industrious?? :chuckle In most countries, a total disregard for infection control protocol would certainly not be considered

  16. A blatant discrimination to all filipino nurses

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to boot_unit's topic in International Nursing

    You're absolutely right. Each country sets their own educational standards, and any nurse who wants to practice in that particular country needs to meet those standards. Just plain common sense....

  17. A blatant discrimination to all filipino nurses

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to boot_unit's topic in International Nursing

    I guess it's a whole lot easier for Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Ejercito Estrada to complain about "discrimination" than it is to address the real problem with nursing in the Philippines!...

  18. RETROGRESSION! when it will end?

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to herheys8's topic in International Nursing

    You came here asking the question "when will retrogression end?" You asked for advice from your fellow nurses, and you have received responses from numerous people. Unfortunately, the responses you...

  19. Why U.S.?? when there are others...

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to Barbie38's topic in Philippines

    Maybe that's how nursing is in the Philippines, but here in the US nurses are taught "critical thinking." Believe me, I have questioned many doctor's orders! It's my responsibility to advocate for my...

  20. Sick Leave Policy: What's Yours?

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in General Nursing

    The idea of counting "occurances" instead of actual days makes more sense to me. As it stands now in my facility, a bad bout of the flu would use up all the allowed sick leave for a whole year. We...

  21. Sick Leave Policy: What's Yours?

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? posted a topic in General Nursing

    My facility recently revised our policy for using the sick time we have accrued. The administration claims the new policy is pretty much "standard" for businesses these days, and I am trying to...

  22. Too many nurses in the RP

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to greenjungle's topic in International Nursing

    that's shameful. in other countries, people go to nursing school because they actually want to be a

  23. to my fellow filipina/filipino nurses working abroad

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to nursey2008's topic in International Nursing

    I dislike generalizations, too. However, some generalizations seem to hold more water than others. The OP started this thread to report what she has seen happening among the Filipinos she has worked...

  24. Petition to the Congress by US International RNs

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to psherpa's topic in International Nursing

    Foreigners come to the US all the time with student visas because we have one of the best educational systems in the world. They study nursing, engineering, physics--and most of them do so with the...

  25. to my fellow filipina/filipino nurses working abroad

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to nursey2008's topic in International Nursing

    Thank you for starting this thread--it addresses an important issue that Filipino nurses need to be aware of. Unfortunately the same problem occurs at many facilities in the US as well. I have seen...
