This makes no sense to me? What is the thinking behind this?

They let her self schedule. She has to work at least 3 days per week, and up to 5 days. She has herself scheduled till the end of October. Nothing makes he special, it's just the way it is done where she works, I fassume it's the same way in most ...

My wife had a 4 months training / orientation period. The hospital started my wife about 1 month earlier than the New Grad Class Trainee, since she already had her RN licenses. By the time orientation started for her, she already had 1 month of flo...

Glad my wife came over via K1. She is working 60 hours per week, thats as many hours as her Manager will let her work. It seems like there is a shortage of skilled and trained nurses in our area

I remember seeing a couple post on her as well reagarding that. I can only tell you what I know First hand. In the last couple of months, I have assisted 3 student nurses from PI who are registering for NCLEX thru California BON. They submitted Expl...

I have help a couple of Philippines Graduate Nurses apply for NCLEX via Cali BON. Neither had local license, and they wrote explanation to CA BON why they didn't have a local licenses. I don't concur that you need a local license from PI for Californ...

It all depends on what type of Visa you apply for.

" There was a thead in Texas Section about a certain "XXXXXX Nursing Institute" and the students were complaining about people cheating on tests and not being kicked out, and the bulk of their clinicals were bathing patients, It seems like the thread...

So all these exist and are part of Nursing in USA. Maybe it's just part of being a Nurse, Either you can take it or you can't, is it the weeding process Why don't educators have them prepared for what they are going to face in "Real Life"

Are their Nursing School in PI just for the money, Sure there are, I don't remember ever seen a post where someone has argued that it doesn't exist. But it gets thrown almost daily in this forum section I am sure there are Nursing School in many othe...

Cuz, That is the bulk of their training........

I think more Philippines would speak up, but it's not their nature or culture to argue or disagree in public places or forums. Maybe we should discuss why so many U.S. Trained Nurses quit or can't handle working in USA, and to me the blame should go ...

Catching Up. USA/Canada/England and other Western Cultures are the minority not majority as far as World Population. Don't assume just because it's the way or custom where you live it's the same around the world USA granted Philippines Independence a...

Funny How Hospitals in USA have Philippine Nurses working there, It says something for their education system and work ethics. I have read on this board about Nursing Programs in USA where people say in their Clinicals they clean bed pans or bath pat...

Thats Just It. Americans know little to nothing about PI. Philippines is literally on the other side of the world from USA. Are you aware that 10 hours after Pearl Harbor was bombed, the Japaneese bombed Manila. Douglas MacArthur is National Hero ...

Agreed. But in this case it is best. Philippines is like the 51st state of USA. Where else can you go and everything is in English, English is the business language, Values and Culture of USA like we had back in the 1950's. Constitution and Political...

"The 22-year-old Newton native will be saddled with more than $100,000 in student loans " She should of went to Nursing School in Philippines. She would of been around $90,000 ahead of the game. Could of used that money to buy a house and a car....

IF you are talking about transfering during the course of your study. Like complete 2 years in PI and try to transfer your clasees to USA college, I think that would be an uphill battle and probably most if not all or your credits would not transfer ...

Yes She will submit the paperwork to the U.S. Embassy in UAE Interview will be done at US Embassy in UAE

Yes It does seem So much Easier in Dallas. Month(s) to complete the process up North sound like the process is in serious need of repairs. Just another reason I choose to hang my hat in Texas.........

I didn't even petition her until March 2008. She arrived her late 2008, and initial plan was for her to not work for a year. But her friends she went to school with started passing NLE and getting jobs and she wanted to work, So she wanted to get a ...

You should look for work that has great healthcare benefits. Focus your employment toward companies that offer "No Limit" on Lifetime Maximum Benefits Always think "Down the Line" and "What if"

Suggestion: Check out Palau It's a Island Nation close to Philipppines. They use the US Dollar as Currency, US has pledge 50 years of protection to Palau. You can serve in the US Military if you are Palau Citizen. Palau is also like the youngest or...

Salamat You will probably find it to be an Big advatage getting your BSN in PI, Your clinical training will be in far excess of what US Student do, in terms of hours and actual nursing. I personally love the Philippines and would be living full time ...
