I am about to make that move to where you are, would you advise me not to? thanks for your help.

with your savings and money in the bank, you can absolutely live a decent, comfortable life in the philippines even without a job. or you can have a special working permit if you're willing to share your special nursing skills. SLMC - GC (for exampl...

capital health reps came to the philippines last november 2007 and july 2008 to recruit filipino nurses known for their caring touch, determination and willingness to do hard work. these reps from capital health who i believe are nurses too visited ...

from what i understood from the 2 norquest reps who came to the philippines, the present LPN program in Alberta is the old RN program they had, hence the BSN program in the Philippines though accepted in the US and other Canadian provinces for Rn lic...

there are facilities offering acls/bls classes here. if you are a certified provider by the AHA and can offer a program that is updated/accepted by the AHA so much better. fees are in the vicinity of P5000.00 for a 3 day course that includes ecg inte...

as an alternative to looking for hospital nursing experience, i am interested in telephone triage nursing in the philippines. i've heard of about 2 companies involve in this venture. can anyone enlighten me as to the scope of this job? what are the h...

fyi suzanne, there is one call center looking for nurses with US licences particularly california and new york RN license. i'm thus presuming that they will be made to do telephone triage nursing. that's why my original post was a query to those emp...

may not seem right but it is true that capital health will be in the philippines next week to recruit 600 to 700 nurses. it is an awfully large number for a single recruitment event. weeding out the nurses that aren't ready for placement in your hosp...

i apologize for that remiss and thank you for your replies. since the philippines has become an outsourcing mecca from accounting jobs to graphic designing, call center nurses here are triageing calls coming from the US.(from little info i have gathe...

thanks for your replies. I am a US RN and have worked many years in the east coast as an acute care nurse. i've come home but i'm not keen on retiring yet ( just over 40 yrs.) so i'm looking at a different field of nursing that's not too physically s...

can you suggest a school that offers refresher course for inactive nurses in Manila

to purple hippo i guess i should believe you because you have been insisting on the veracity of this information, but for your friend's sake suggest to her taking the lpn exam doing so will serve a lot of purpose. i feel bad for your friend and the ...

that news piece clarifies everything.... i believe they will have to take the lpn licensure exam as passing the rn nclex exam does not make reciprocity for an lpn license. that is what you should strongly suggest for them to do. an lpn license would ...

It is just that when I get sick, I would want a licensed nurse to care for me rather than someone who is not licensed. But if Capital Health deems they are equipped even without the license, then so be it. The major factor here anyway is ethical, saf...

if i may, fiona, i take offense in your referring to filipino RNs in quotation marks. they are true nurses driven by the same goal, dedication, and love for their profession as you are or any nurse of any background. they are there with the full inte...

then a meeting with capital health is in order, don't you think? as they are the sponsoring agent for these filipino nurses who should have gone there to work as graduate nurses and preparing to sit for the CRNE. these nurses who will be going there ...

hi soundbites, curious as to what school you went to that has a curriculum equivalent to canada's. thanks.

hi macfortis, at this point, the crne isn't your immediate concern. it is in fact the assessment by CARNA, whether they will approve you to take the crne or have you go through a SEC assessment or worst have you go back to school to take a few course...

i heard of an initiative by a college in alberta that wants to create a bridging program for philippine nurses to enable them to work as graduate nurses in canada.

hi bagwis, for what it's worth i was one of the over 400 nurses interviewed by capital health, the nurses with a ready CARNA assessment were offered GN positions. the rest like us were offered nurse auxillary positions. what really peeved me though w...

hi bagwis rn, just wondering why you didn't ask capital health employers about the nurse auxillary job offer during your face to face interview, don't you have the option to wait for your carna assessment in the philippines then be hired as a graduat...
