  1. Nursing school in Philippine for foreign student

    Hushdawg replied to bumbumn's topic in International Nursing

    You definitely should improve English before taking up Nursing in the Philippines. All of the instruction is done in English and if your English is weak then your understanding of the subject will be...

  2. Please help. . . And quickly!!!

    Hushdawg replied to kemkem's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just in shock that someone is 21 and has no job experience whatsoever. As someone who has been working since he was 15 I really can't relate. I wish you the best; make the most of your 3 days and...

  3. nursing review notes

    Hushdawg replied to plethoraldork's topic in International Nursing

    With less than 50% of nurses passing the local board here in the Philippines I would strongly recommend getting a review center. Make sure it is CHED accredited; don't mess with any that are not....

  4. Philippine Nurses Association (PNA)

    Hushdawg replied to chiaren's topic in Philippines

    It's kind of suspicious that one is required to be a member of PNA in order to be licensed even though PNA is not a government organization. I wonder who is making money off of this in the government...

  5. how much do i need to save for IELTS exam?

    Hushdawg replied to princess_miucha's topic in International Nursing

    Confidence issue is normally the problem. Pinoy nurses (9 times out of 10) are actually VERY fluent in English but when the speaking portion of the IELTS exam comes around the nervousness sets in....

  6. Taking the NCLEX in MANILA (Help please)

    Hushdawg replied to stsinner's topic in Philippines

    I'm curious about this "International Testing Registration Center" you are talking about. Can you send me details in

  7. how much do i need to save for IELTS exam?

    Hushdawg replied to princess_miucha's topic in International Nursing

    your address should be your correct address otherwise your results will get sent somewhere else. I would discourage against going to the Niners review centers, they don't teach English development at...

  8. List of NCLEX Review center in Manila

    Hushdawg replied to ginger_hatch's topic in Philippines

    Allgen is a former Rachell Allen franchise. So let's just say they are pretty evenly matched when it comes to quality of review. They are among the very few review centers in the Philippines that...

  9. NCLEX CALI result

    Hushdawg replied to pinkcolor's topic in International Nursing

    If there are problems with your fingerprinting it could be due to the poor fingerprint capture methods in Philippines. I'd suggest you read on the FBI website and see what their standards are to see...

  10. Volunteer Nurses: Counted as a Work Experience?

    Hushdawg replied to rlssem's topic in Philippines

    I absolutely agree. Pinoy nurses should boycott this kind of abuse and not participate in the "pay for traning" scams that hospitals are running. Volunteering is one thing, paying to volunteer is...

  11. Cheapest NCLEX Review Center in Manila?

    Hushdawg replied to boot_unit's topic in International Nursing

    Bargain hunting for your career is a bad move. Remember that only 45% of all NCLEX takers from the Philippines pass; that is partly to do with the delay that nurses here have between graduation and...

  12. Let me be clear there is NO nursing shortage!!!!!!!!! and now THIS????

    Hushdawg replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    Heh, I'm originally from North Carolina. I live in the Philippines now and my wife has worked as a medical transcriptionist and editor for more than 8 years. Medical transcription is a huge...

  13. Volunteer Nurses: Counted as a Work Experience?

    Hushdawg replied to rlssem's topic in Philippines

    This is why nurses in the Philippines should band together and use organizations like Ang Nars or the PNA to pressure the politicians as a large group. Spread the word and convince nurses to STOP...

  14. Let me be clear there is NO nursing shortage!!!!!!!!! and now THIS????

    Hushdawg replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    My wife is a licensed nurse and also a medical transcription editor; part of the reason that job is outsourced is because only people outside the USA can live on the rate that it pays. As supplemental...

  15. Working and studying in the UK

    Hushdawg replied to Silverdragon102's topic in United Kingdom

    I wouldn't call it a "scheme" exactly. The consultation services that I know of here are very transparent with the nurse about exactly what is going to happen. The money comes from a cooperative...

  16. Volunteer Nurses: Counted as a Work Experience?

    Hushdawg replied to rlssem's topic in Philippines

    Yes it is abusive and yet many hospitals in the Philippines still make nurses pay to get "training" which basically means the hospital makes money off them both directly and indirectly. It is terrible...

  17. Patient to Nurse Ratios: What are yours?

    Hushdawg replied to rkitty198's topic in General Nursing

    I'm interested to see responses from nurses outside the USA in this

  18. Let me be clear there is NO nursing shortage!!!!!!!!! and now THIS????

    Hushdawg replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on the state you are endorsing to; some do require a certain period of work experience prior to endorsing, some require that you've lived in the state for X amount of time and if you are a...

  19. Let me be clear there is NO nursing shortage!!!!!!!!! and now THIS????

    Hushdawg replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    just a thought here... i've been reading your posts with much interest because, in spite of some opinions on this board, i actually do care about out of work nurses no matter where they are and it...

  20. Volunteer Nurses: Counted as a Work Experience?

    Hushdawg replied to rlssem's topic in Philippines

    Agreed which is why I consistently encourage prospective nurses to look at the PRC statistics and choose schools which routinely rank with high numbers of local board passers. Some universities here...

  21. Let me be clear there is NO nursing shortage!!!!!!!!! and now THIS????

    Hushdawg replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    Just a few pointers for those who want to talk to their congressmen about the issue either FOR or AGAINST. The current status of this bill is: Latest Major Action: 6/12/2009: Referred to House...

  22. Master's degree online in Philippine-based College/University

    Hushdawg replied to uniquenurse's topic in International Nursing

    Depends on what you want to do with the Master's Degree. If you want to be a teacher then I'd strongly suggest UP. The UP approach to theory and concept is ideal for a teaching nurse. However if you...

  23. Volunteer Nurses: Counted as a Work Experience?

    Hushdawg replied to rlssem's topic in Philippines

    This is exactly why so many Pinoys want to go to the USA since there are labor laws in place to provide them all with better work environments and they will gain the respect they deserve based on the...

  24. Let me be clear there is NO nursing shortage!!!!!!!!! and now THIS????

    Hushdawg replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, MD/RN candidates for immigration do qualify for the EB2 visa; I know several in the last 6+ months that have been able to go through via an immigration attorney I know. Immigration professionals...

  25. Let me be clear there is NO nursing shortage!!!!!!!!! and now THIS????

    Hushdawg replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    No, I'm referring to the EB2 class visa; but thank you for playing our game. An MD/RN is (obviously) someone who has a degree as both a Physician and a Nurse. Alex49, I don't know why you seem to make...
