  3. NCLEX CALI result

    Hushdawg replied to pinkcolor's topic in International Nursing

    Call CABON and ask them for the results. Philippine addresses are often confusing for Americans (speaking from personal experience) and the Philippine Postal service isn't exactly the best at making...

  4. Filipino nurses in Texas

    Hushdawg replied to honeylove_joy's topic in Immigration Advice

    Really? In other threads he/she/it has sounded very Xenophobic. I don't know what to make of the statements.. they don't seem helpful to any nurse or prospective nurse. In fact, they seem to be...

  5. Filipino nurses in Texas

    Hushdawg replied to honeylove_joy's topic in Immigration Advice

    Yes, but you are dealing with US nurses only, I know that from your comments that you would never help foreign nurses. Foreign nurses have to call all the time because the BONs in the USA do a very...

  6. Filipino nurses in Texas

    Hushdawg replied to honeylove_joy's topic in Immigration Advice

    Great advice.. flood the BON in Texas with loads of questions that are already answered on the website. None of the nurses with applications stuck in process need to be able to call in and find out...

  7. Is it worth it to obtain a masters in nursing education?

    Hushdawg replied to Sirapples's topic in General Nursing

    Make sure the online college is fully accredited... not all of them are and you could waste your money An MA in nursing will provide better job security since you will qualify for all sorts of...

  8. When should I start studying for the NCLEX-RN?

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

    Hushdawg replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    A) What does that have to do with anything in this discussion? B) Why would you want to even want to start drawing on Philippine Policy as a basis for American Policy? Although the Republicans would...

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

    Hushdawg replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    Apply through the normal channels. I'd suggest you look at some of the more upscale schools like De La Salle, Sto Tomas or the various Doctor's Universities (Manila and Cebu and others) you can look...

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

    Hushdawg replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you'd like to have your nursing union secure work contracts for you then? That way the hospital would have to employ you for a certain number of years. Of course that also means that you would...

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

    Hushdawg replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

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

    Hushdawg replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is the crux of the problem. The shortage increase is faster than the rate of graduation, it is logistically impossible for the US nursing schools to meet the demands as they are projected to...

  14. License Verification at PRC?

    Hushdawg replied to august08's topic in Philippines

    PRC does have online options. I don't know why the website is showing up as an attack site, I have multiple security programs running and bypassed the block so I could look up the recent passing list...

  15. Going to college in the philippines?

    Hushdawg replied to lovelyanne's topic in International Nursing

    As a US citizen you do not have to fill the local board requirements and your CVS for NYC will be a little different. However, as one other poster said, since you are always going to be a foreign...

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

    Hushdawg replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    The reason they can't "return" the Filipinos is because of a contract signed. When you are employed in another country the company must contractually guarantee a specific work period as part of the...

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

    Hushdawg replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    If I were in your position then I would go with the BSN program. The impending shortage is going to be driving employers to look overseas where there are no 2-year courses. The BSN will make you far...

    Hushdawg replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

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

    Hushdawg replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    Mishi88, you're upset and I understand that but don't take it out on Suzanne (or anyone else). The Philippines is the only nation in the world with a surplus of nurses. I would suggest you research...
