  1. Petition to the Congress by US International RNs

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

    I just want to make sure I understand what you are saying. Basically, your position is that since you came to the US on a student visa, you believe you should be allowed to stay here and work. You...

  2. legality of contracts

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

    Can you please translate this? I'm sure I'm not the only one who doesn't know what this means.

  3. March 2009 Visa Bulletin

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

    Yep. Same thing every month. Someone naively asks whether there's going to be "bad news again" in whatever Visa Bulletin happens to be coming out, and the "usual suspects" give them a dose of...

  4. Retake test failed (Batch June 2006), question (?)

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to hotpotato101's topic in International Nursing

    I agree. It would pretty much defeat the purpose of the retake if the June 06 results were counted for some and not for others. Due to the cheating scandal, it is impossible to know whose results are...

  5. Nurses to usa not the answer to ofw crisis

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

    Hoss, your link went to a different article. Here is the correct link to the article you were quoting from:...

  6. New Filipino nursing Recruits coming and I want to assist

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

    I am glad someone brought this up, because it seems to be a problem in many facilities. You need to really emphasize right from the start that English is to be spoken, or the Tagalog will quickly get...

  7. Voluntary Code of Ethical Conduct for Recruitment of Foreign-Educated Nurses to US

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

    Definitely good news for foreign nurses. Hopefully it will reduce a lot of the scams that target people who are desperate to find employment

  8. Immigration to become harder for the UK for foreign workers

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to Silverdragon102's topic in International Nursing

    In my opinion, jobs in the UK should go to unemployed British citizens first. In this time of economic uncertainty, the policy makes good sense. Each country must first make sure that its own...

  9. recommended STATE?

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to bettyboop09's topic in International Nursing

    When you find that state, please let us all know. I think we'd all like to move

  10. Need some serious advice

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to RN2783's topic in International Nursing

    You are in a tough position! As others have said, it would be very, very difficult for you to find employment in an acute care setting, as a foreign nurse with no experience. Even new US grads are...

  11. Clinical Instructors and lecturers with no hospital experience?

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to Libby_09's topic in Philippines

    Wow! That's a huge difference from your last post, where you said, "Or would you rather be taught by someone so old, her view of nursing is so stuck to the eras nurses being handmaidens to doctors, no...

  12. Clinical Instructors and lecturers with no hospital experience?

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to Libby_09's topic in Philippines

    I don't think it's necessarily an either/or situation. There are a lot of nurses who fall somewhere between the two extremes you are describing! It's clear from the tone of your post that you would...

  13. More unemployment news

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

    Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought the doors are already open to all. People from Ireland, England, and other countries with a decent standard of living aren't necessarily all wanting to move to the US....

  14. More unemployment news

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

    As I have said before, I have worked with foreign nurses for many years, primarily from the Philippines. The nurses who trained years ago are competent nurses and I love working with them. The more...

  15. More unemployment news

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

    Well, then, it wouldn't actually be the support we were hoping for, now would it? :chuckle The main priority for the US is putting Americans back to work, plain and simple. Perhaps other countries...

  16. More unemployment news

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

    It's unlikely. With the increasing unemployment in the US, the new administration will focus on retraining workers to fill available positions. If history is any indication, I would anticipate an...

  17. Clinical Instructors and lecturers with no hospital experience?

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to Libby_09's topic in Philippines

    Learning doesn't stop once you graduate from nursing school! Most "older" nurses continually update their knowledge and skills as the healthcare enironment changes. They bring a wealth of information...

  18. Go away...is not generally true!

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

    I have re-read all the posts in this thread, and I really don't find anything rude, hostile, or critical. A forum is, by definition, "open discourse." No one is forcing anyone to read this thread or...

  19. Go away...is not generally true!

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

    I think you are making a very good point. I have a similar situation at my workplace. Approximately 90% of my co-workers are Filipino. Although we have an "English only" rule, they continue to speak...

  20. Topic of the Day: GO AWAY FOREIGN NURSES!

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to yoginurse2b's topic in Immigration Advice

    It's interesting and educational to read the variety of opinions expressed in this thread. That's what a forum is supposed to be-- a place for discussing and debating. A forum is not a...

  21. U.S Hospitals are hiring again NOW !!!

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

    Good observation, pinoyNP! Could it be that this person--LatinoVNStudentRN2B --has registered solely for the purpose of advertising jobs or spamming? I'll definitely be on the lookout for anyone...

  22. Has Philippine nurse training changed over the years?

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to NurseCubanitaRN2b's topic in International Nursing

    Let me see if I understand what you are saying. The schools that have produced qualified nurses in the past are continuing to do so. Statistically, the number of nurses who flunk the nursing exams...

  23. Has Philippine nurse training changed over the years?

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to NurseCubanitaRN2b's topic in International Nursing

    Mauiboy, I think that the point LatinaVNStudentRN2B is trying to make--which clearly you are not understanding--is that the term "off topic" is commonly used to refer to a remark that appears to have...

  24. effects of financial crisis in employment of foreign nurses?

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

    So basically you are saying that tolerating being exploited by employers is a positive trait??? Interesting point of view, and not one that would be admired by many US nurses. Nurses in the United...

  25. Has Philippine nurse training changed over the years?

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to NurseCubanitaRN2b's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks for your response, PinoyNP. It's nice to know that there are still nursing schools in the Philippines which produce well-trained nurses. I was merely pointing out to the other poster that...
