Hi guys, I just have a question regarding the visascreen application. I pased the ielts before i applied for visascreen. So, i wasn't able to request ielts to submit the results to the visascreen. Now, i just received a letter from visascreen that i...

Hi, I'm having a hard time finding an IV therapy class/certification. Does anyone of you guys know a class in Burbank/Gleandale/ or LA. Thanks

As a below 30 male nurse who has a pair of light blue scubs and works nights. I would like to respond to the original post. 1. I don't agree that there is less patient care/interaction during the night shift. During the days you have pt's family, vis...

I completely agree. I feel that I should pursue further studies while i'm young and don't have a family yet. But have no idea what to choose. Almost everything looks interesting (from nurse informatics to genetics nurse to nurse educator). I'm a rela...

NCLEX was definitely harder.

I don't think anyone meant that hospitals are not recruiting filipinos anymore. It's just that more and more hospitals would rather not want to because of nurses not fulfilling their contracts. Previous posters have shared their own experiences regar...

It seems that their are a lot of misinformation that is going around. As a new foreign nurse (filipino at that); i just wanted to say a few things. 1. We pay taxes too. (It's being taken out of each of my paychecks; otherwise someone is screwing with...

I'm a new (about a year) foreign nurse in california. In our unit, we nurses are very much diverse. Some of us are hispanic, middle eastern, filipino, korean, thai, caucasian, ethiopian, etc. And I'm happy to say, I haven't heard any stories of racis...

I'm a new graduate. i agree that sometimes women forget that we're still guys. Some of the things i encountered. 1. i accidentally walked in on 2 female classmates dressing up. After quickly closing the door, i hear one of them say that's it's okay "...

Hi, Does the fact that they say that the limit for nursing immigrant visa has been nearly reached have an effect on the AOD/EAD? Thanks

Thanks

To answer the question posted by Dush i don't think that would be fair. And besides the parts of the test that had leakage were not included in the results (so i guess, no one was able to cheat successfully) Someone correct me please, if i'm wrong

kathy_bear I didn't get to do much procedures either, but we are what we claim to be. "new graduates". People I met are very supportive (including those in this forum; thanks guys). Plus there is an orientation program. And deep down i think we know ...

I'm sorry, but it seems that someone is being unfair towards kalayaan. All she's saying is that the requirements of the diff US BON might change and they might require the phil NLE in future. It is a possibility, after what happened in the june board...

The PNA, BON, and deans (by the way, there is ADCPN the association of deans of colleges of nursing) might not have the authority to enforce reforms; but they do have considerable weight or influence on policies. They could very well be catalysts for...

If the student-nurses aren't the target, who are the targets? The diploma mills? The schools? I think most(if not all) of the people in this forum from the philippines would attest that this incident would not decrease the number of students who wan...

Thank you so much . That relieved a lot of my anxiety.

hi, i have question (especially for asianrn). I'm wondering what is usually included during the orientation. I found a hospital that will sponsor me. They have a ten-week orientation. I already took an BLS class here in the states (red cross), but w...

Hi, work abroad without experience is possible. i took the nclex this july (i passed). I then called/emailed a lot of hospitals. Most would not sponsor foreign nurses without experience. But, eventually i was lucky enough to find one that will sponso...

Even according to our (Phil) Department of Health website (I researched this when i was student - just last year); there is no shortage of nurses here in the philippines. A couple of years ago, there was a move by the politicians to prevent nurses fr...

In reading the other posts in this thread, it seems that it is NOT the competency of the 2006 boardpassers being questioned; but their attitude/honesty that is being questioned. (correct me if i'm wrong; that's the way i understood the other posts). ...

As a boardpasser of 2005, i understand that it is difficult for the 2006 passers that their competency is put into question. The fact remains that the results of that exam is qustionable at best. One option i heard is that they are looking into is th...

Hi, i hav a question. i already hav my ATT for the california board exam; but i didn't apply for an interim permit. I plan to go and take the exam in california (i'm from the philippines) in june. Can i apply for an interim permit after the exam? So ...
