  1. how to become RN in guam?

    Hushdawg replied to mayumi17's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    As Silverdragon said you have to get an employer to help you with that Visa first. While Guam is a territory of the USA it is not a state so there are different regulations and such there....

  2. Cheapest NCLEX Review Center in Manila?

    Hushdawg replied to boot_unit's topic in International Nursing

    IMO if you spend money on a review center you should look at the results that they are getting and talk to students. this isn't like buying a bag of potato chips, this is your career. Spend the...

  3. Passport without Signature: Allowed in Pearson Vue or not?

    Hushdawg replied to Hinageshi's topic in International Nursing

    Just a note though, you should harass DFA for a new passport with the signature line at some point. When you travel abroad the lack of a signature line can cause you a lot of problems since it...

  4. Step by step procedure to get license to work as RN in CA,USA

    Hushdawg replied to tellmemore's topic in International Nursing

    Just a quick note though about IELTS - TOEFL. While it is true the IELTS is a slightly easier test and definitely much less expensive, there are a few states which require TOEFL and will not accept...

  5. how to become RN in guam?

    Hushdawg replied to mayumi17's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    If you haven't gotten eligibility from the BON in Guam then you cannot take the NCLEX exam to obtain licensure. Sounds like you got started by following directions on some other US-based websites...

  6. Nclex Payment

    Hushdawg replied to gelyn8's topic in Philippines

    Money Order Checks are only accepted if drawn on a US bank. This has been a problem for many nurses here in the Philippines. Western Union may be a US company but here in the Philippines the money...

  7. PNA plea "INCREASE NEW NURSE HIRING"

    Hushdawg replied to Hoss's topic in International Nursing

    Bottom line: In the Philippines if the government officials cannot personally profit from something then it doesn't get done. To hell with the public safety, they want to know their

  8. NEW PHILIPPINE PASSPORT have no signature field

    Hushdawg replied to 08rush's topic in International Nursing

    Eesh, you must have gotten one of the mistakes then. You need to go to DFA as soon as possible and see if they can get a rush replacement or issue an official stamp or seal to correct that error. It...

  9. Nurses for Japan

    Hushdawg replied to purple_ylem's topic in International Nursing

    It is a bit extreme. There are hundreds of retail saleslady positions open. But honestly, once you've spent all that time studying to become a nurse isn't it a bit degrading to end up on a 6-month...

  10. PNA plea "INCREASE NEW NURSE HIRING"

    Hushdawg replied to Hoss's topic in International Nursing

    It seems insane.. and it is. The article is pointing an example, there are some areas of the country where the hospital is hiring only one RN to care for 160-180 patients and the rest of the care is...

  11. NEW PHILIPPINE PASSPORT have no signature field

    Hushdawg replied to 08rush's topic in International Nursing

    How recently did you get the passport? DFA fixed that problem after a short time. You need to go to DFA and get them to replace it since that will hinder your ability to travel to several countries...

  12. No job in nursing in the Philippines, what to do?

    Hushdawg replied to sheenahRN's topic in Philippines

    And that is the main problem which I think we can all agree on which is broken down into three singular items: 1) The Philippine government is doing nothing to ensure that the schools are providing a...

  13. No job in nursing in the Philippines, what to do?

    Hushdawg replied to sheenahRN's topic in Philippines

    I definitely appreciate where you are coming from Alex49 but the problem here is HOW to get that experience? As many others have stated, the ratio of nurses to positions is very heavily tilted....

  14. No job in nursing in the Philippines, what to do?

    Hushdawg replied to sheenahRN's topic in Philippines

    Nursing students don't really have the option of working for any income in a hospital while in school.. They are placed in hospitals for clinical duty and this is part of the education process. During...

  15. Rachell Allen Review Center: Is This A Reputable Nursing Review Center?

    Hushdawg replied to whitelady888's topic in International Nursing

    Also, I don't think it is a good idea to talk about possible lawsuits and name the companies unless there is a 100% verified source. We don't want to be badmouthing a school based on some business...

  16. Rachell Allen Review Center: Is This A Reputable Nursing Review Center?

    Hushdawg replied to whitelady888's topic in International Nursing

    That's a good point. Ultimately I look at the overall pass rate of the center to determine who is giving good lessons and providing decent information. But one thing that should be taken into...

  17. No job in nursing in the Philippines, what to do?

    Hushdawg replied to sheenahRN's topic in Philippines

    Alex49, you have a fundamental lack of understanding with regard to other cultures; that is evident with your posts. Here in the Philippines it is not possible for most students to obtain a job...

  18. the american dream: do not lose hope

    Hushdawg replied to rookie_rn's topic in Philippines

    I think the cost ratio is a bit unfair to add to this discussion. Obviously there will be a higher training cost because the education is different, there is no less adjustment for any US nurse going...

  19. No job in nursing in the Philippines, what to do?

    Hushdawg replied to sheenahRN's topic in Philippines

    This is very true for a majority of people who stay at home with Mom and Dad in the USA. However it is not as true for the Philippines. This is a major point of misunderstanding here. In the...

  20. No job in nursing in the Philippines, what to do?

    Hushdawg replied to sheenahRN's topic in Philippines

    You need to address your question to one of the agencies which specializes in Aus. nurse integration. There are a few run by Australians here in Manila. Please be sure that you are dealing with an...

  21. the american dream: do not lose hope

    Hushdawg replied to rookie_rn's topic in Philippines

    Actually I agree with you on this point. NCLEX scores for Filipinos are getting higher and higher but the reality is that there is not any evidence to say that Pinoys are outperforming US nurses in...

  22. the american dream: do not lose hope

    Hushdawg replied to rookie_rn's topic in Philippines

    Suzanne, that is the most logical and solidly grounded statement I've heard on the subject. Very much reality-based and does not bring in personal bias in the discussion. While Pinoys have valid...

  23. the american dream: do not lose hope

    Hushdawg replied to rookie_rn's topic in Philippines

    I never intended to insinuate that Pinoys have it worse than others. That was not my point at all. I'm looking at the Pinoy situation as a similar stance for any and all immigrants who come to the...

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

    Hushdawg replied to misspowers's topic in International Nursing

    The Filipinos are the best part about the Philippines. By far. I love the food, the fruit, the ability to be completely isolated in just a few jeep rides or be in the heart of one of the busiest...

  25. Do you know of hospitals near Pasig, Marikina, and Rizal Are accepting volunteer work

    Hushdawg replied to sheenahRN's topic in International Nursing

    I'm glad you stated this but it doesn't really change the fact that many Pinoy nurses are forced to logging volunteer hours or paying to practice nursing in hospitals so that they do not loose the...
