  1. has anyone here ever heard of buying out a contract? quote: ''walking from a contract is probably at a higher level on the list. this is what has irritated many hr people.'' what about the nurses welfare? does the hr have the sole right to be irritated by nurses walking from their contract. let's not forget to see why these nurses are breaching their contracts. the environment may not have been good. furthermore, the terms and conditions stated when they signed the contract were not kept just like what happened to the nurses who had been victims of the sentosa firm. why would you want to work when you are not well compensated? or simply if what was written in print (contract) just remained in writing--no actions direct hire, agencies--they dont just make a commitment where they would end up losing their fair share of the deal. yes, they are irritated by nurses walking from their contracts. however, when a nurse breaches his contract, he always gets to pay its corresponding penalty. i still have the contracts here from various agencies and direct hire. for terminating a contract, you get to pay them ranging from $10,000 - $50,000. this is what a lot of nurses have done. when they feel that they have not been treated well and they have already received their green card, they buy out their contracts to move on or transfer to another hospital that suits them well; where they feel that they are well-compensated. direct hire, agencies get their fair share of the deal when the nurse pays the penalty for terminating his contract. why suffer when the grass is greener on the other side? why suffer when you are not treated well? agencies, direct hire and nurses breaching their contracts-- they are all in a win-win situation.
  2. Has somebody in here ever heard of buying out a contract when they no longer want to finish it? Those nurses you claimed to have walked from their contracts after receiving their green card ---may have walked from their contracts--but you know very well that there is always a penalty for breaching such contracts. Direct Hire, agencies name it-- they dont just make a deal without getting their fair share of money. Once the nurse breaches his contract, he is very much entitled to pay its corresponding penalty. Why force oneself to work in an environment that is of no good when the grass is greener on the other side? Direct hire, agencies and nurses breaching their contracts: They are all in a WIN-WIN SITUATION.
  3. Fishy Businesswise, Henry Seno's interview by the local newspaper, is purely advertisement. He said he is the president of the American Dream Review Institute --- he is trying to gain popularity for his review center since it is very new in Cebu where Sunstar happens to be the widely read local paper. I have to say, students in top schools didnt even have second thoughts enrolling in review centers growing like mushrooms. By addressing such claims, he knows that it will be in the headline of the newspaper. Moreover, any news with regards to the nursing sector is of big interest in the Philippines, NOWADAYS. Thus, he is really smart! I doubt if he is in the right position to make such statements even if he claims he is connected with this agency blah blah. Everyone in their kind of business claims the same thing. This article is purely advertisement! Bogus
  4. YES. PHILIPPINES AND JAPAN, DURING THE RENEWAL OF JPEPA, HAS SIGNED A TRADE PACT ALLOWING THE ENTRY OF PHIL. NURSES INTO JAPAN'S LABOR MARKET--SIGNING WAS HELD IN HELSINKI. WITH THE RECENTLY HELD ASEAN SUMMIT IN CEBU, PHILIPPINES, JAPAN, TOGETHER WITH THE REST OF ASEAN MEMBER NATIONS HAS SIGNED AN AGREEMENT TO ALLOW NURSES TO WORK IN THESE ASEAN MEMBER COUNTRIES. REPORTS HAVE MENTIONED PASSING THE NURSE LICENSURE EXAM----IN JAPANESE AND SPEAKING JAPANESE LANGUAGE FLUENTLY. HOWEVER, IN MOST RECENT REPORTS ON ASEAN SUMMIT, NURSE LICENSES FROM AMONG THE ASEAN MEMBER NATIONS WILL BE HONORED WITHOUT UNDERGOING THE NURSE LICENSURE EXAM OF AN ASEAN MEMBER COUNTRY. http://www.aseansec.org/afp/191.htm http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/storyPage.aspx?storyId=63207
