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

    Hushdawg replied to nursemich's topic in Philippines

    There is a process to endorse NCLEX passing without endorsing the license. California is a wonderful state to live and work in, so if you want to do that then you should apply there. In order to save...

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

    Hushdawg replied to nursemich's topic in Philippines

    I'm curious about that too.. why didn't you just endorse your NCLEX and file your licensure

  3. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

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

    Not only that but we lessen the workload of the BONs because we handle screening and error-proofing and ensure that applications for licensure are complete with all requirements before BON recieves...

  4. Say NO to LPN Progams in Philippines

    Hushdawg replied to gemini_star's topic in Philippines

    If you'll look at NCSBN reports and analysis there are many factors for that drop in passing, little of that has to do with the actual quality of education as most of those with poor education don't...

  5. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

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

    Absolutely not. This is like treating a patient that is already dead. Understand that when a bill is submitted then it goes through a long process before being voted on and then passed into a law....

  6. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

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

    Currently the USA staff positions are like those in the UK and other European countries, the shortage is only in specialized positions. What we are looking at though in the trend projections for the...

  7. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

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

    Yes, I'm aware of the struggle that nurses have in getting this needed experience. However, the hospitals still need it in order to hire and saying that immigrant nurses are inexperienced when they...

  8. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

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

    Your first argument is irrelevant. Hospitals in the USA do not hire foreign nurses without experience. Almost all of them require 2 years in clinical setting. Let's focus on realities of who will...

  9. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

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

    You've double-spoken here. Your word choice in the first statement is "where the nursing shortage is going to be." Then you follow up with "Currently" and "have a shortage" instead of "will have."...

  10. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

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

    Yes Ma'am! Thank you for the gentle reminder. I'd like to suggest that we stop using arguments of substandard education and healthcare facilities as a reason not to bring nurses in from outside the...

  11. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

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

    No, you should not discard observations and statistics, but you should put them in place. So what if nurses cannot pass NCLEX? You'll never see any of them! You'll only see nurses who are able to...

  12. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

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

    You should contact an immigration attorney and see if there is an alternative for you. Some free advice: There are alternatives to retrogression; you need a lawyer and some patience but you can still...

  13. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

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

    I just want to say that I love you for

  14. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

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

    You are full of xenophobic comments lately aren't you? I'm really surprised at your comments lately.. I didn't think you would be the type to talk this way. While it is true that PH government and...

  15. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

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

    I honestly have no vested interest one way or the other. I'll continue doing my job and helping nurses whether this bill is passed or not. The difference in the volume of visas released doesn't...

  16. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

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

    I'm not having it both ways. They are both licensed and the NCLEX exam is used in the licensing. Therefore one cannot say that one licensed nurse is inferior to another licensed nurse. However, when...

  17. Portable, Hand-Held CT Scanner

    Hushdawg replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    Do you mean this device? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6541279.stm It isn't exactly a CT scanner but it does a similar job for a specific task. Don't worry, we're not too far off from Dr. McCoy's...

  18. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

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

    That's my mistake in the abbreviation because I was thinking about the difference of pay between a photographer with an AA versus a BA. Of course the Bachelors degree is BS for nursing. Very sorry...

  19. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

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

    I didn't say all is well and good. I said this is why Immigrant nurses have positions to take and that this is why there is a nursing shortage. Honestly I think it is terrible and more proof that we...

  20. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

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

    The statments are offensive. Saying "only an Associate's degree" is like saying that an associate's degree is garbage. Actually, I can think of an associate's degree that pays very well: Photography....

  21. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

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

    WOW! that's crazy. No wonder there are such low NCLEX passing rates in other countries. Philippine based nursing education is all taught in English so it is actually very easy for Pinoy nurses to...

  22. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

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

    Thank you for stating this. I did not want to state this because, since I am not a nurse, it would be viewed as "nurse bashing" or something. This is definitely a factor, I agree... and I don't feel...

  23. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

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

    I thought it was against TOS to promote agencies? I can tell you that I personally have spoken with four US-based recruitment/staffing firms and they have over 3,000 positions collectively all across...

  24. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

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

    You are missing my point. My point is that there are so many people who are anti-immigration when they would not be here if it were not for immigration. Don't pull that "more-patriotic-than-thou" crap...

  25. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

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

    To be clear, I was not calling you a name, I was pointing out that YOUR COMMENT was xenophobic. There are many times I find you intelligent and agreeable so I'm not name-calling; I'm trying to get you...
