hello everyone! greetings! i am a Psych RN working for a hospital in Portland, OR in their Acute Psych Unit. I've only been here 7 months and so far, i am enjoying it and loving it. there is something about dealing with personalities and behaviors th...

there are hundreds, maybe even thousands, of posts here pertaining to the current immigration and economic situation of the us. in addition, the situation is also being played out in the media all over the world (i would think). with all of these inf...

i guess, with this statement, you have already made up your mind about ALL nurses from the Philippines. all i can do is pray that the Lord may take away the prejudice and bias (and hate?) that is in your heart. may you and your family and all your lo...

we are aware of the less-than-ideal situation of the nursing field in our country. there is not one system/curriculum in the entire world that is perfect. i hope you can just give the information as it is and avoid giving remarks/comments with a ton...

wow! i never thought that there would be so many people here who do not think kindly of philippine nurses. i guess i was just naive to think that we all considered each other as professional colleagues. i guess i was wrong. all i can say is, may God...

when i was still in school, i learned about the great depression of the 1930s. i also learned that after the bombing of pearl harbor on december 7, 1941 ("... a date which will live in infamy." -- franklin delano roosevelt), several advisors of then...

i think this topic has already been discussed several times in this site. unfortunately, it is quite apparent that many Filipinos are still being TRICKED into applying to different LPN programs/courses. to my fellow Pinoys, please DO NOT enroll into...

i just have to ask. does the law specifically say that they will reject FILIPINO nurses? is the word FILIPINO/PHILIPPINES actually in the full text of the bill? i could be wrong but isn't this a form of discrimination? may i suggest that the title of...

"can't we all just get along?" ------ "let he who is without sin cast the first stone." "that in all things, god may be glorified."

hi everyone! greetings! i just wanted to ask the OR nurses here (with no intention of being offensive) -- is there a "next-step-up-the-ladder thing" in the field of Perioperative Nursing? are there, like, positions for a Nurse Manager, Nurse Adminis...

well, i guess we all knew that this was coming. it was only a matter of time. good luck to all the nurses and nursing students all over the world who are working hard and dreaming of a better life for themselves and their families. i celebrate and a...

no matter what many Filipinos say about their own country, i still am and will forever be proud to be a Filipino. and i still dream of one day going back to and settling down in my motherland. it's bad enough that the Philippines is in its current st...

i would advise you to consult a lawyer who specializes in immigration. the lawyer would be able to tell you the best course of action that is within the boundaries of US immigration laws. i always thought that if it is not in writing and is not signe...

Do we have a thread here that is specific for Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (PMHNP)? I am a Psychiatric/Mental Health RN and I am interested in applying to a Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) Program. I do have a fe...

i worked for 1 year as an RN in the san francisco bay area. but the standard of living (like, EVERYTHING!) is WAY too expensive there. i am now in portland, oregon.

the training classes and certificates/licenses from the National Center for Clinical Laboratory Experience (NC-CLEX) are NOT recognized/accredited in the US. i know because i took some of those classes. i am now a Registered Nurse here in the US an...

i totally agree with you, suzanne. everything must be done in accordance with the law. i have also heard of lawyers who take advantage of my fellow filipinos aspiring to live the american dream. and i, for one, despise them. so, to all my fellow pi...

lucky me, i guess. everything turned out well for me. however, i don't think my Lawyer would risk his entire practice to do something illegal for me who only met him for the first time when i came into his office to ask for legal immigration advice....
