  1. Has Philippine nurse training changed over the years?

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

    At the risk of being "out of topic," as you like to say, I would like to better understand your assertion that nursing education in the Philippines is still "exemplary." Are you merely expressing an...

  2. Any knowledge of New England College in Quezon City, Philippines?

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

    You would absolutely be much better off attending a nursing school in the US for a myriad of reasons. The percentage of Philippines-trained nurses who pass the NCLEX is very low. Most nursing...

  3. How's the weather?

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

    Well, it's sunny and in the 80s here in Hawaii! All year round, same ole thing...once in a while, in the winter it might be a little cloudy though. (Are you jealous yet? :chuckle) But honestly, all...

  4. Suggestion to Philippine Nurses

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

    Nurses in the US-- and in other developed countries-- work just as hard as nurses in the Philippines. What you fail to realize is that there is a big difference between "hard work" and being...

  5. Suggestion to Philippine Nurses

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

    Absolutely! I can't even imagine any new grad in the US agreeing to work for free...or, even worse, to PAY for the chance to work! It would never be acceptable here. Major changes need to be made...

  6. Incorrect way to work in the US

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

    I sincerely doubt that these "lightening up overtones" of which you speak are going to make it any easier for illegal aliens to continue working in the US healthcare system. Employers are required by...

  7. Canada as a "Stepping Stone" to the US?

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

    I've noticed that a lot of the posters in the International forum seem to view Canada as a "stepping stone" to getting into the US, due to the retrogression issue. As a US-born RN, I guess I'm just...

  8. Clinical Instructors and lecturers with no hospital experience?

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

    Nowhere else but the Philippines is it acceptable for new RN grads to work as clinical instructors. It certainly helps to explain the below-average skill levels of a lot of the new nurses these days....

  9. Stop applying to the USA

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

    OK, let's examine the statistics. Percentage of US-educated nurses who passed the NCLEX in 2008: 82% Percentage of foreign-educated nurses who passed: 36.8% So your comments sound plausible until you...

  10. January 2009 Visa Bulletin

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

    Glad to hear you are interested in what other nurses have to say! I'm a nurse, an American citizen, and I'm not Suzanne. Although I don't think the US is "sinking like the Titanic" as another poster...

  11. 88,750 Nursing students soon to be RNs

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

    5000? 3000? It is an assembly line for manufacturing nurses, or a school where people are educated? I have worked with many filipino nurses over the years, and the more recent graduates seem like they...

  12. the american dream: do not lose hope

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

    [Originally Posted by Nurse!Nurse!Hello? your country has tricked you into believing... Please keep the racial overtones to a minimum. I, just like you, can read and write and can come to my own...

  13. the american dream: do not lose hope

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

    And with the US unemployment rate rising, would it be OK for the US to send some workers to the Philippines, to take over some of your jobs? After all, the US does produce "the best nurses in the...

  14. the american dream: do not lose hope

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

    so, are you saying it is cheaper to hire us rn's or foreigners? can't be both! you certainly paint a dismal and depressing picture of the future of nursing for us citizens! most us nurses don't see...

  15. Discussion- Urge Congress to Support HR 5924: Legislation to Address Nursing Shortage

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to lawrence01's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Ummm...to change the subject (kind of), does anyone know what the current status of this Bill is? I can't seem to find any recent info about where it stands right now.

  16. the american dream: do not lose hope

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

    Are you saying that an American US-educated RN can work as a nurse in the Philippines? I didn't think your government permitted that. Maybe I am

  17. the american dream: do not lose hope

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

    I also wondered why that particular poster brought up the age issue. When my mother was hospitalized, I was very relieved to see that the nurse caring for her was a middle-aged nurse with many years...

  18. How do you think the New US President will affect Retrogression?

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

    LOL! More words of wisdom from slimy law firms! You do understand, of course, that immigration-law.com is merely the website of a law firm that specializes in immigration. Naturally they are going...

  19. Nclex Quarterly Examination Statistics 2008

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to dave787's topic in International Nursing

    Every time these quarterly stats come out, it seems like some Filipino nurses misinterpret the data. Every time! They see that the Philippines is listed as number one, and assume that it means that...

  20. How do you think the New US President will affect Retrogression?

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

    Most Americans are concerned with the worsening economy and increase in unemployment. :uhoh21: Obama has said over and over that he believes we need to create jobs for Americans. That's his priority,...

  21. "English Only" Rule at Work?

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

    I am curious how many facilities have an "English Only" rule, and how/whether it is enforced. I work at a SNF in which the vast majority of the employees are from the Philippines. Although we have an...

  22. Emergency Nursing Supply Relief Act, HR 5924

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to alan headbloom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Alan Headbloom, are you a nurse? Didn't think so. So why have you joined allnurses? Could it be that you stand to benefit financially from this bill passing? Since you make your living training...

  23. "English Only" Rule at Work?

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

    ( I am the OP) Several posters have addressed the issue of whether or not it is ok to speak a foreign language while on break. Our policy is that English is to be spoken while on the facility's...

  24. What can you say about Filipino Nurses

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

  25. Confused and frustrated!

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to JJG07's topic in International Nursing

    As a US-educated nurse, I find it insulting that so many brand new Filipino nurses continue to claim that their country produces "the best nurses in the world." I have to wonder where this idea is...
