  2. Nclex Payment

    Hushdawg replied to gelyn8's topic in Philippines

    Actually that is not entirely true, if your license is close to expiration in CA and you have not yet gotten a SSN you can extend/renew the license if you meet certain criteria. Many states will issue...

    Hushdawg replied to CRTtoRN's topic in General Nursing

    You should check the school accreditation. Many online schools provide education/training/certifications and even issue diplomas and degrees. however since they have no accreditation the diplomas and...

  4. Nclex Payment

    Hushdawg replied to gelyn8's topic in Philippines

    I looked up this Paperworx online, I don't see anything. Seems like any reputable company would at least have a website. This is a nurse's career we're talking about.. he or she should only trust an...

  5. Taking the NCLEX in MANILA (Help please)

    Hushdawg replied to stsinner's topic in Philippines

    There is nothing cheap in Makati, that is one of the most expensive places in town. Try looking online for places in Mandaluyong, Pasay or Taguig. You'll need to ask the hotel if they are near to...

  6. Nclex Payment

    Hushdawg replied to gelyn8's topic in Philippines

    That problem is why there are NCLEX application centers established to help nurses. They can assist you with that stuff for a

  7. Taking the NCLEX in MANILA (Help please)

    Hushdawg replied to stsinner's topic in Philippines

    From Naia you should take a standard fare taxi (P30 flagdown) but expect to pay more than P200 for the fare. It will take at least an hour depending on traffic. DO NOT use the yellow taxis or the...

  8. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

    Hushdawg replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    True, but when the nursing shortage hits big time then we will see ratios expanding if there are not nurses available to stand in the gap. The States will threaten to fine the hospitals and then, in...

  9. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

    Hushdawg replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    ...and I firmly believe that what is in the best interests of Americans is to ensure that there are sufficient nurses in hospitals to provide healthcare to Americans when they are ill. I don't care...

  10. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

    Hushdawg replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You have no idea. The ones who are posting here on Allnurses are frequently the more fortunate nurses. Let me take an aside to explain about having a maid in the house. While this is a luxury only...

  11. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

    Hushdawg replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    1) Should I apologize for not being a nurse? You often bring it up in discussion as though I should not even have an opinion because of that fact. Yet you are not a lawyer and I see you frequently...

  12. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

    Hushdawg replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It really ticks me off that people keep talking about this bill like it is inviting backwater nurse school rejects and illegal aliens who only know about injections from a heroin addiction. This bill...

  13. need guidance in doing my cgfns&nclex

    Hushdawg replied to anandhan's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks to Silverdragon for pointing out that NCLEX is a part of a process, not the process itself. A lot of international nurses make this mistake because of the NCLEX culture that is developing...

  14. need guidance in doing my cgfns&nclex

    Hushdawg replied to anandhan's topic in International Nursing

    It depends on what state you are applying to. Every board of nursing has a different set of requirements. You should familiarize yourself with what the BON needs from you. There are application...

  15. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

    Hushdawg replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm totally bowing out of this discussion... I feel like I'm trying to convince a hamster to stop running in his

  16. Review Centers In Cebu

    Hushdawg replied to Aviationurse's topic in International Nursing

    The problem is that NLE review centers (except for one that I know of in Manila) all claim 100% and 98% and all that garbage. If half of them were telling the truth then the overall NLE passing rate...

  17. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

    Hushdawg replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No matter how many times it is proven an incorrect statement this false argument that immigrant nurses work cheap keeps getting thrown around. Nurses have to be paid the same because of US law. The...

  18. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

    Hushdawg replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    They aren't seeking advice from me; we are just talking when we encounter at offices of other businesses or when they talk to me about our business and what we do. Maybe they are more open to people...

  19. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

    Hushdawg replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Opponents to the bill are equally self-serving. They don't want foreign nurses to be here so that they can have the jobs for themselves. But they want the jobs to have altered conditions, increased...

  20. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

    Hushdawg replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This has absolutely nothing to do with the growing shortage in the USA which we will see explode as soon as the recession is over. Again people are talking about the poor conditions of nursing in the...

  21. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

    Hushdawg replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If you have any clue how much work and effort a foreign nurse has to go through to even get to the point of applying for a visa you would never say something that callous and irresponsible. Even if...

  22. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

    Hushdawg replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Wait... first you want to say that there is no shortage and now you admit there is a shortage and you need to increase funds for nursing education... you can't have it both ways. Yes, I'm for...

  23. Filipino Nurses who passed the NCLEX without the help of Review Center

    Hushdawg replied to nursemich's topic in Philippines

    True, extensions are only available if you can prove that you have worked or have maintained continuing education and they can validate what you've been up to and that it is up to their requirement...

  24. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

    Hushdawg replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Moon, I know you're frustrated. Believe me, I'm frustrated for all non-citizen nurses who want to practice in the USA. Something has to give, the shortage is real and retrogression is masking its...

  25. What is a typical nursing salary in the Philippines?

    Hushdawg replied to student456's topic in Philippines

    Excellent breakdown.. although as someone who has just done apartment hunting all over Manila, let me remind the US readers that the P6,000 apartment is not only a studio but is smaller than most...
