  1. Filipino RNs: Getting to know each other!

    Hushdawg replied to libie's topic in Philippines

    Curious, are you in Oregon on an immigrant visa? Why didn't you complete your documents and take NCLEX before going to Oregon? it's actually much harder to handle your paper there since so many of...

  2. when did they stop wearing those cute nurses caps?

    Hushdawg replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    I live in the Philippines and the only "nurses" wearing caps here are students doing clinicals; the licensed RNs don't wear them anymore. It is nice, however, to see nurses in uniform. I feel that...

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

    Hushdawg replied to adangerousbeauty's topic in Philippines

    No state is inherently "better" or "worse" overall. If you are looking for the stronger job markets then I'd suggest you look in states with mostly rural areas rather than large population centers....

  4. fresenius

    Hushdawg replied to jen_jen's topic in International Nursing

    yeah; irritating isn't it? go to school for 4 years, spend 1.6 - 2.4 million pesos for all your education and lodging and reviews and fees and such to get licensed as a nurse and end up making P9,000...

  5. Your Marital Status: It's Just Not That Difficult

    Hushdawg replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent points. However in my religion it would be immoral and unjust for me to have married a second wife which my first wife did not approve of. The chance of an argument in these instances...

  6. Your Marital Status: It's Just Not That Difficult

    Hushdawg replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    yes, many men are able to be legitimately married to two women at the same time in this way; the marriage happens in a nation which recognizes both marriages legitimately and then they migrate to the...

  7. Can Someone Be a Nurse Without Jean Watson??

    Hushdawg replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    I feel that this boils down to the difference between empathizing and sympathizing. Empathic people make excellent nurses and this is what many of you are talking about; being able to UNDERSTAND how...

  8. Are managers allowed to give ultimatums?

    Hushdawg replied to ITALY123's topic in General Nursing

    This is true, but only if you can demonstrate that the termination violated federal guidelines or constitutional rights (like the two times I was fired for my religion and once because I attended a...

  9. Your Marital Status: It's Just Not That Difficult

    Hushdawg replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    my second wife carries an nso certified copy of our marriage certificate for this reason. it is issued by the shariah court in the philippines and endorsed by the philippine government, the us...

  10. Are managers allowed to give ultimatums?

    Hushdawg replied to ITALY123's topic in General Nursing

    If you are working in an "at-will" employment state then the management can fire you for any reason under the sun. I give evaluations in the form of written exams on a regular basis to my employees...

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

    Hushdawg replied to adangerousbeauty's topic in Philippines

    So they want you to pay them $900 so they can hire you? Does that make logical sense? Don't do it. Legitimate staffing firms/recruitment agencies will never ask a dime from a nurse. Get your own...

  12. Working and studying in the UK

    Hushdawg replied to Silverdragon102's topic in United Kingdom

    That's the sad thing, too many agencies trying to make money. I prefer the UK-based immigration consultancies. They will help the nurse or BSN grad in deciding which course is right for him/her since...

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

    Hushdawg replied to adangerousbeauty's topic in Philippines

    The lawyer cannot (should not) be the one finding a petition for you. Immigration is to the USA, it is not state specific. The reason you should consult an immigration lawyer is because many nurses...

  14. Anyone else dealing with unemployment $ (BLEEP!)?

    Hushdawg replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    What are the three most important things about setting up a business? They also apply to job availability. Location Location Location There is a nursing shortage nationwide, but it is not affecting...

  15. Anyone else dealing with unemployment $ (BLEEP!)?

    Hushdawg replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    it is precisely the fact that you have never filed for unemployment before that you are going through so much. Once the phone interview is completed to validate the information they will pay you back...

  16. I Have a Bad Feeling About This Student - Am I Over-reacting?

    Hushdawg replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    That can work in Elementary school where more primal agression factors are the cause of child bullying.. but we are talking about middle school here, preteen and teen aged kids. The bullies you tend...

  17. I Have a Bad Feeling About This Student - Am I Over-reacting?

    Hushdawg replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    Trust your gut. If you have a bad feeling then there is a reason. Is your clinic attached to the school in the way that would make you an employee of the school system? If so then there is possibly...

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

    Hushdawg replied to adangerousbeauty's topic in Philippines

    That's a shame.. you should have already processed through in 5 years. Are you going through an agency or an immigration lawyer? My suggestion is to ditch the hiring/staffing agency if that's what you...

  19. fresh board passer here. am i required to attend oathtaking ceremony?

    Hushdawg replied to recentpasser's topic in International Nursing

    You are not required to attend the oath-taking ceremony, but if you do not then you must make an appointment to take your oath before an official at PRC before your license would be issued. That can...

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

    Hushdawg replied to sheenahRN's topic in Philippines

    The government won't care unless you make them care. Nurses are a massive voting block of you would all get organized. Protest, petition and

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

    Hushdawg replied to nursemich's topic in Philippines

    This is still the wrong question to ask. You seem to miss the point entirely. You're not getting a license for the USA, you are getting a license to practice nursing in a particular state. You need...

  22. Belly Dancers: appropriate entertainment for LTC residents?

    Hushdawg replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    As a dude, I don't find belly dancing to be scintillating or racy; I find it to be a beautiful celebration of culture. Its an art form like any other version of dance. YES, it CAN be sexy and...

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

    Hushdawg replied to nursemich's topic in Philippines

    NCLEX never expires. Once you are an NCLEX passer you are ALWAYS an NCLEX passer. Your license, on the other hand, does not expire. You can also renew your license, you don't have to endorse. Most...

  24. Working and studying in the UK

    Hushdawg replied to Silverdragon102's topic in United Kingdom

    There are a lot of opportunities in Australia, that's true. This is all about priorities though; if your goal is to be a nurse in the UK then do it. However, you should be aware that there will be...

  25. License Verification at PRC?

    Hushdawg replied to august08's topic in Philippines

    Philippine Post tracking is not always carried over into the USPS system. I'm telling you from experience that the only way to be certain that your tracking data is correct is to use DHL, Fed-EX or...
