  1. the american dream: do not lose hope

    Hushdawg replied to rookie_rn's topic in Philippines

    Not entirely; the schools are more to blame for that than anyone else. The Philippine government officially has a lot of policies about recruiting and such. As an American I cannot encourage someone...

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

    Hushdawg replied to misspowers's topic in International Nursing

    I really don't want to make personal assesments.. and I'm sorry but there is no other way to say it... but that is a very xenophobic comment. Reducing people to "tax burdens" is very cold and...

  3. the american dream: do not lose hope

    Hushdawg replied to rookie_rn's topic in Philippines

    I'm not saying that Americans don't work hard and that Americans don't struggle. But believe me, There are many subtle opportunities in America that simply do not exist here. I worked full time and...

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

    Hushdawg replied to misspowers's topic in International Nursing

    To me positive Immigration reform means making the naturalization process more accessible for those who seek it. Currently it is a long and exhaustive process and is not written with non-English...

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

    Hushdawg replied to sheenahRN's topic in Philippines

    That's not entirely true. There is a clinical/lab portion of the exam which MUST be taken in Australia. So you have to bear that in mind as well. Plus there is a 7-week course that must be taken...

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

    Hushdawg replied to misspowers's topic in International Nursing

    I agree that this has deviated from the topic. However, I also feel that the economic gulf between the USA and the Philippines is at the core of the reason why people look to Barak Obama as a positive...

  7. Reciprocity Question

    Hushdawg replied to IcarusFlewAndBurned's topic in International Nursing

    Regarding reciprocity, there are some states which are members of the Nursing Licensure Compact. Not all states are members. In these states you can easily use your license in another Compact member...

  8. the american dream: do not lose hope

    Hushdawg replied to rookie_rn's topic in Philippines

    Let me illustrate a clear point here about the drive that I see in many Pinoy nurses. They are only having a roof over their heads and able to have a good education because the father, mother,...

  9. Licensure requirements in Oregon

    Hushdawg replied to ukmelai's topic in International Nursing

    That's why I mentioned that she should look at local laws. In some states you don't have to declare the income as a business under certain dollar amounts and certain types of services/products....

  10. Licensure requirements in Oregon

    Hushdawg replied to ukmelai's topic in International Nursing

    One thing I want to add here. If you do discover that your visa does not allow you to work and instead you will have to wait for an employment-permissible visa. Do not fall for the traps that some...

  11. the american dream: do not lose hope

    Hushdawg replied to rookie_rn's topic in Philippines

    Well stated and an excellent idea. Many Pinoy nurse graduates are well-spoken and carry themselves with a high level of professionalism that could easily make them good teachers of nursing. I think...

  12. the american dream: do not lose hope

    Hushdawg replied to rookie_rn's topic in Philippines

    It all depends on the way someone wants to live and his/her expectations. In the USA I earned more than $35,000 a year. Here I earn roughly $500 a month. I'm happy with my earnings because I can pay...

  13. Nclex Payment

    Hushdawg replied to gelyn8's topic in Philippines

    Yes, a Demand Draft at BDO is the same as a Bank Draft in the USA. You may also want to check with Metrobank, I think the rates there are lower... but you may have to hold an account... not

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

    Hushdawg replied to sheenahRN's topic in Philippines

    I understand that, I'm just trying to offer some possibilities understanding both the Philippine environment and the US hiring practices. I am not trying to sugar-coat the fact that the road to an...

  15. Re: NCLEX Question Please

    Hushdawg replied to jandous's topic in International Nursing

    This is a very common mistake which costs foreign applicants for licensure in the States a lot of money. You should never file for your ATT until after you have gotten eligibility from the state....

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

    Hushdawg replied to misspowers's topic in International Nursing

    But really, at the end of the day if a Nurse is sending nearly $12,000 US then she is spending much more than that by living here in the States. You are still missing the point that AMERICANS send...

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

    Hushdawg replied to sheenahRN's topic in Philippines

    Sheenah, one way you can work through it is to find a job related to healthcare here in PH to work while processing yourself and promoting yourself to companies in the USA. I know the market for...

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

    Hushdawg replied to misspowers's topic in International Nursing

    It isn't always the IRS that collects the fees directly, sometimes it is customs that collects the fees and sometimes it is foreign bodies which collect the fees. I'm just saying that the net result...

  19. the american dream: do not lose hope

    Hushdawg replied to rookie_rn's topic in Philippines

    Now there is a solution I can get behind. I am wholly in support of more educational opportunities and reducing the financial burden on Americans who seek out higher education. Competition in the...

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

    Hushdawg replied to misspowers's topic in International Nursing

    No problem, thanks for the accolade. :nuke: I ate balut a couple of times, I found it to be very tasty but a little... odd in texture. Unfortunately I later discovered that it is forbidden by my...

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

    Hushdawg replied to misspowers's topic in International Nursing

    Slow down your roll G. If you transfer more than 10,000 outside the USA there is a fee for it. If you carry more than 10,000 outside the USA there is a tarriff/tax/port fee/duty on it (terms vary...

  22. Question about CA forwarding of NCLEX result to another state

    Hushdawg replied to namurit's topic in International Nursing

    So wait, let me get this straight. If a nurse passes NCLEX in CA, s/he can have the results forwarded to another state. What about the application process for licensure in the other state? Does the...

  23. the american dream: do not lose hope

    Hushdawg replied to rookie_rn's topic in Philippines

    I want to address what you are saying here in parts. 1) I never accused you of being heartless, quite to the contrary, I think that the more you know about all sides of the cube the more impassioned...

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

    Hushdawg replied to sheenahRN's topic in Philippines

    One thing that you should know about KSA and other places that will hire Pinoy nurses without experience or local license is that many of the positions are not actually nursing positions. You may get...

  25. the american dream: do not lose hope

    Hushdawg replied to rookie_rn's topic in Philippines

    Speaking from personal experience it is downright impossible to get a job here in the PH if you are a foreigner unless you are hired by another foreigner who had the money to start his/her own...
