  2. Topic of the Day: GO AWAY FOREIGN NURSES!

    greenjungle replied to yoginurse2b's topic in Immigration Advice

    greenjungle replied to yoginurse2b's topic in Immigration Advice

    With times so tough in the USA, it's not surprising that this kind of sentiment against jobs going to foreign nurses comes to the surface. It's been there a long time, but the crisis makes it more...

  4. 10 Year Retrogression

    greenjungle posted a topic in International Nursing

    With the crushing economic problems blanketing America, are we in for worse visa delay problems, like say, a 10 year retrogression for immigrant nurses unless reforms are made (unlikely?)? Philippine...

  5. They have spoken..

    greenjungle replied to SilverSurfer's topic in International Nursing

    This does not alter the retrogression, since the issue of number of visas being given out has not been addressed. Only means more applications approved with nowhere to go, despite the nurse having a...

  6. PNA plea "INCREASE NEW NURSE HIRING"

    greenjungle replied to Hoss's topic in International Nursing

    If only PNA could dictate hospitals to alter their hiring patterns, as it is they could only plead. There are some private hospitals where the waiting line for nurses to be hired in January 2009 is up...

  10. Stop applying to the USA

    greenjungle posted a topic in Immigration Advice

  11. Stop applying to the USA

    greenjungle replied to greenjungle's topic in Immigration Advice

    So much money is being wasted by parents in the Philippines sending their children to become nurses - a dead end profession. Parents go around proudly telling everyone that they have a nurse in the...

    greenjungle posted a topic in Philippines

  13. Stop applying to the USA

    greenjungle replied to greenjungle's topic in Immigration Advice

    That's the hard truth, it all depends on how you look at it. We hope that all Philippine nurses especially those new graduates would take this situation into account in planning their next move....

  14. 88,750 Nursing students soon to be RNs

    greenjungle replied to gemini_star's topic in International Nursing

    The title of this thread is misleading. Definitely more than 50% of those taking the exams will absolutely fail. This is good since it will improve the quality of our RNs. The lower the passing...

    greenjungle replied to greenjungle's topic in Philippines

    It's great that we're hearing all these posts that really confirms the reality of the crisis in America. This will wake up the hundreds (half a million more likely) of thousands of Pinoy RNs all...

  16. the american dream: do not lose hope

    greenjungle replied to rookie_rn's topic in Philippines

    The cold hard fact is that the dream may be dead in the water. The USA is now in dire economic straits. Nurses here who own their own house and lot, however small are luckier than those immigrant RNs...

  18. US retrogression- Nurses waiting

    greenjungle replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in International Nursing

    Close to half a million nurses are now waiting in the Philippines and most if not all of them harbor the ambition of coming to the USA. 89,000 more are taking the November 2008 local exam. It is...

  19. How do you think the New US President will affect Retrogression?

    greenjungle replied to misspowers's topic in International Nursing

    when a married philippine rn migrates to the usa, it is with the immediate family (spouse & children). these nurses send back very little if any of their dollars back to the philippines since they...

  20. How do you think the New US President will affect Retrogression?

    greenjungle replied to misspowers's topic in International Nursing

    With the dire economic times in America, immigration will probably not be a priority, jobs for Americans will be in the minds of those who shape the policies of the nation. That's just the way it is....

    greenjungle replied to dhel28's topic in Immigration Advice

    I agree. The visas becoming current this year is like, impossible. Before July 2009, the visas will be exhausted again. Back to the waiting

  22. NVC -CP- GC Tracker

    greenjungle replied to dhel28's topic in Immigration Advice

    It is thought provoking reading the early posts of those who are now in the US when they were still in their own countries. It is fun seeing how they reacted to every twist and turn of the immigration...

  23. NVC -CP- GC Tracker

    greenjungle replied to dhel28's topic in Immigration Advice

    Maybe you're right, many will be giving up their American Nursing dream for many years to come. That visa is so elusive. And thousands out there also have expiring CGFNS, IELTS, TOEFL, and State Board...
