  1. not RN at philippines

    Hushdawg replied to Shiela Lowman's topic in International Nursing

    This is 2010; a lot has changed in the last 9 years. You cannot apply old rules to the current

  2. not RN at philippines

    Hushdawg replied to Shiela Lowman's topic in International Nursing

    Yes, she has to sit for the local board this coming July and extend her stay in the Philippines until September for the release of the passing so she can start her application. Even though she is a...

  3. not RN at philippines

    Hushdawg replied to Shiela Lowman's topic in International Nursing

    Okay.. now with that information you're actually starting to build a case. You should state that you are a Permanent Resident of the USA, your husband is an American Citizen and the father of your...

  4. Working and studying in the UK

    Hushdawg replied to Silverdragon102's topic in United Kingdom

    Depends on the OJT placement. Your consultant needs to be the one to set up the placement for OJT instead of the school to ensure that you can maximize the legal allowance for working under the...

  5. not RN at philippines

    Hushdawg replied to Shiela Lowman's topic in International Nursing

    If your husband is a US Citizen and you are in the process of immigration then you should include that information. Sad to say that I appealed to 5 different boards of nursing for one girl who wanted...

  7. "Yinz"

    Hushdawg replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    A friend of mine lived up in PA for a while and she told me about the expression. In the South (yes, that is a proper noun) we often say "y'all" and "y'uns" which is the same part of speach as "yinz"...

  8. fired...

    Hushdawg replied to iluvnoodles's topic in General Nursing

    You have the best attitude that I have seen in a person who just got fired. You are looking at things realistically and proactively. This is key to becoming successful! I am so proud of you for NOT...

  9. Telling relatives the patient has died

    Hushdawg replied to snoopy29's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry.. totally inappropriate.. but when I read this line in your post... I heard John Cleese's voice... and then it went on with the whole "Dead Parrot"

  10. Telling relatives the patient has died

    Hushdawg replied to snoopy29's topic in General Nursing

    You never know when this responsibility may be thrust upon you. Some hospitals have no official policy and whichever staff was the one to call is usually the one to tell the family... but not always....

  11. Nurses need to be tall and beautiful???

    Hushdawg replied to Lucia cong's topic in International Nursing

    Sadly that is very common across SE Asia. But don't feel bad, it is not exclusive to nursing. I saw a posted ad here (Philippines) for a book keeper "Must be between 5'1" and 5'4" no more than...

  12. Working and studying in the UK

    Hushdawg replied to Silverdragon102's topic in United Kingdom

    Absolutely passing the local boards would be the better opportunity. However, statistically speaking if one has failed local boards twice then he or she has a less than 5% chance of passing the third...

  13. not RN at philippines

    Hushdawg replied to Shiela Lowman's topic in International Nursing

    Ah; I'm sorry I misunderstood or missed that part of your posts. Yes, as you have been assigned an SSN with permanent residency then you might be able to get them to waive the Philippine license...

  14. not RN at philippines

    Hushdawg replied to Shiela Lowman's topic in International Nursing

    You are creating too much work for yourself. This is why so many nurses use a professional application center instead of doing it alone, to avoid mistakes like this. You do not need to apply for any...

  15. not RN at philippines

    Hushdawg replied to Shiela Lowman's topic in International Nursing

    Also, since California will not issue a license without a social security number you may find it impossible to endorse to the state of your choosing. Many states now reject the endorsement...

  16. Problem with Diploma

    Hushdawg replied to stsinner's topic in International Nursing

    I called a friend of mine in the UK migration business and he echoed what was posted above; have a new certificate issued and the new administration will be the ones to sign

  17. Honest opinion

    Hushdawg replied to anthony123's topic in International Nursing

    Nurses in the Philippines need to put pressure on CHED to shut down these illegitimate schools. The passing rate of the November Board Exam is the lowest in the history of the Philippines. This is...

  18. not RN at philippines

    Hushdawg replied to Shiela Lowman's topic in International Nursing

    All states require you to be a local board passer in your country of origin if you are not a US citizen. No ifs ands or buts. Any information you have heard to the contrary is

  19. Say NO to LPN Progams in Philippines

    Hushdawg replied to gemini_star's topic in Philippines

    This is completely false. The programs I refer to in the Philippines are programs established as satellite colleges of US schools. One for example is Genlor Training and Development Center. It is set...

  20. are we human .. really ??

    Hushdawg replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. I have been written up in many fields before and I currently write up employees for mistakes which cause harm to our clients or to the company. Nurses have a tougher task because a...

  21. Say NO to LPN Progams in Philippines

    Hushdawg replied to gemini_star's topic in Philippines

    As far as I am aware there are very few US-Accredited LPN schools in the Philippines. So you need to ask the school for the US accreditation. They should be directly connected with a college in the...

  22. Philippine Nurses Association (PNA)

    Hushdawg replied to chiaren's topic in Philippines

    I'm not a big banner-waver for any party-list. I suggest forming a voting block. You should be removed from the political circle itself and be able to influence politicians from ALL party-lists....

  23. Patient to Nurse Ratios: What are yours?

    Hushdawg replied to rkitty198's topic in General Nursing

    She stated 1,5:1 To clarify, many other parts of the world use commas where Americans use decimal points. So she meant 1.5:1 Feel better about it now? :) I used to do double takes all the time until...

  24. Working and studying in the UK

    Hushdawg replied to Silverdragon102's topic in United Kingdom

    I agree with what you say, I would not suggest nurses to go to the UK to work as nurses. Underboard passers, however, do have opportunities as caregivers. Currently working in the UK as a caregiver...

  25. Filipino RNs: Getting to know each other!

    Hushdawg replied to libie's topic in Philippines

    Remote transcripts are tricky.. schools are always messing them up by not providing enough detailed breakdown information. Best of
