this thread is really amazing... i'm definitely learning something... i'm also working here in the PHil as an ICU nurse about 8 mos now and hopefully, work there in the US when this retrogression will be lifted. although, i have no idea yet where will i be working. i mean hospital wise. Will there be a big possibility that i'd still be working as an ICU nurse when i reach US? or will everyone start as a floor nurse again? Please do enlighten me.
