  1. ATTENTION: CA BON Now Requires SSN to apply for NCLEX.

    Hushdawg replied to Hushdawg's topic in Philippines

    I asked that specific question and was informed by CABON that it is not acceptable in place of SSN. Apparently the acceptance of applications without an SSN was simply a courtesy that CABON was...

  2. NO LUNCH? NO BREAKS? Is that common in nursing?

    Hushdawg replied to CleveRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    The irony here is that this is a common complaint among nurses in the USA that I talk to and obviously on this board and yet there is so much declaration that there is no nursing shortage. Isn't it...

  3. Speaking Tagalog in English speaking company

    Hushdawg replied to templeknight7's topic in International Nursing

    Again, there is no such thing as "American Culture" that can be unilaterally defined. That is the core of being American: Embracing infinite diversity in infinite combination. (or is that Vulcan, I...

  4. Speaking Tagalog in English speaking company

    Hushdawg replied to templeknight7's topic in International Nursing

    Yet there are religions which would prohibit their adherents from celebrating or recognizing some of those holidays. Yeah, that's either done from: 1) ignorance 2) selfishness 3) habit The third one...

  6. Speaking Tagalog in English speaking company

    Hushdawg replied to templeknight7's topic in International Nursing

    Care to outline for me (an American) exactly what you define as American culture? Also, why should someone celebrate holidays if they are not recognized in his/her

  7. Speaking Tagalog in English speaking company

    Hushdawg replied to templeknight7's topic in International Nursing

    I don't see why this has come down to an argument about racism or xenophobia. There are standard rules of business etiquette and this is one of

  8. Patient advocates? what does that look like?

    Hushdawg replied to tewdles's topic in General Nursing

    Herein you have outlined the primary, fundamental problem with healthcare in the United States. Why should it matter if a patient has no insurance or is on Medicaid/Medicare? Why should it matter if a...

  9. Q -resume how much past work exp if this is 2nd career

    Hushdawg replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    Since you have shifted careers, add the term "relevant" to your list. Obviously you should list all education but under work experience simply list "Relevant Work Experience" and then enumerate your...

  10. Anybody got cheese? (I'm ready to whine)

    Hushdawg replied to nebrgirl's topic in General Nursing

  11. Speaking Tagalog in English speaking company

    Hushdawg replied to templeknight7's topic in International Nursing

    Professionalism dictates that when you are in a working environment then you must comply with the language which is supported by that environment. Reserve Tagalog (or Visayan, Cebuano, Chavacano,...

  12. Where do ALL these family members spring from?

    Hushdawg replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    It could simply be that these people ARE close to the patient but that they maintain long-distance communication and then make the extra effort to get there when they learn that things are turning...

    Hushdawg replied to 08rush's topic in International Nursing

    Amazing. I got the statement from the DFA themselves when I went to process passports for some

  14. NEW PHILIPPINE PASSPORT have no signature field

    Hushdawg replied to 08rush's topic in International Nursing

    As I've already said. In March, 2010 DFA changed the regulations. I had 4 applicants whose passports they canceled mid-processing because they changed all the regulations. ALL new passports are the...

  15. NEW PHILIPPINE PASSPORT have no signature field

    Hushdawg replied to 08rush's topic in International Nursing

    Well you don't have a choice, DFA converted the passport type in March so everyone renewing MUST get the

  16. Nurses from Texas, USA (esp. Filipino ones)

    Hushdawg replied to adangerousbeauty's topic in Philippines

    Absolutely NOT! You cannot be a nurse in Texas without passing NCLEX and being licensed. You cannot take NCLEX in Texas without passing Credential Evaluation. I want to know who these guys are. Are...

  17. NEW PHILIPPINE PASSPORT have no signature field

    Hushdawg replied to 08rush's topic in International Nursing

    FYI: the new passports (begun in March 2010) have a digital signature on the page with your photo. I swear, this country changes passport styles more often than it changes leaders! Heyo!

  18. NEW PHILIPPINE PASSPORT have no signature field

    Hushdawg replied to 08rush's topic in International Nursing

    If you have no signature field at the back then you MUST provide another government issued ID with a photo and signature at the testing center. Ideally you should go to DFA and get a new passport...

  19. Is it legal to call yourself "Nurse" when you in fact are not?

    Hushdawg replied to LoveMyDaughters's topic in General Nursing

    I had a similar incident many moons ago when I was a First Responder. I witnessed a pretty nasty accident between an early 1980s era station wagon (therefore all metal) and a moped. I ran over to...

  20. Problem with Diploma

    Hushdawg replied to stsinner's topic in International Nursing

  21. Say NO to LPN Progams in Philippines

    Hushdawg replied to gemini_star's topic in Philippines

    That problem boils down to a fundamental misunderstanding on the part of the Board of Nursing with regard to how schools are licensed in the Philippines. LPN programs cannot be accredited or licensed...

  22. NO LUNCH? NO BREAKS? Is that common in nursing?

    Hushdawg replied to CleveRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    Just an observation; but if everyone and their cousin is working without breaks or with limited breaks... isnt' this a sign that maybe the nursing shortage is real? I mean... if there was no nursing...

  23. Is it legal to call yourself "Nurse" when you in fact are not?

    Hushdawg replied to LoveMyDaughters's topic in General Nursing

    The difference here is that you are not misrepresenting yourself. You are a Nurse (assistant) and you are using the title of nurse to ease discussion among your clients. Your name tag (I'll wager)...

  24. not RN at philippines

    Hushdawg replied to Shiela Lowman's topic in International Nursing

    Of course, you are not a foreign nurse; you are an American citizen and were a Citizen before obtaining your degree, no state will demand a Phil-RN license from you in order to be licensed there....

  25. Working and studying in the UK

    Hushdawg replied to Silverdragon102's topic in United Kingdom

    Which is why I said "may" instead of "will" The immigration of caregivers is almost non-existent; but for BSNs who study care-giving in the UK the process is happening for those who are able to build...
