  1. Foreign nurses watch this...

    Hushdawg replied to bryanb_2003ph's topic in International Nursing

    Which is one of the main functions of my presence here at Allnurses.

  2. Master's degree online in Philippine-based College/University

    Hushdawg replied to uniquenurse's topic in International Nursing

    It is a very lengthy process, basically we have to request from each university individually to provide course descriptions and plans for the Master's degree and submit it to the US bodies for...

  3. situation: need hospital experience and willing to spend

    Hushdawg replied to mrmiyagi's topic in Philippines

    I cannot agree more. If you, as a nurse, cannot get a paid position in nursing at a hospital then try to connect with international non-profit organizations that will pay you. At the very least get...

  4. Foreign nurses watch this...

    Hushdawg replied to bryanb_2003ph's topic in International Nursing

    I am constantly under criticism for not being a nurse or a doctor. I want to lay this to rest. The main reason I am here is to share information and to help, in some way, any nurses who are on this...

  5. situation: need hospital experience and willing to spend

    Hushdawg replied to mrmiyagi's topic in Philippines

    I mean hospitals founded and usually operated by US companies. Many of these are established in the Middle east and while supervisory and administrative positions are held by Americans, the rest of...

  6. situation: need hospital experience and willing to spend

    Hushdawg replied to mrmiyagi's topic in Philippines

    I'm sorry.. I wish I could help you but POEA regulations prohibit this. Legally even though I make no money from introducing you to an employer, if something happens to you in the course of the job or...

  7. Foreign nurses watch this...

    Hushdawg replied to bryanb_2003ph's topic in International Nursing

    Please note that I try to be conscious of qualifying my statements with phrases which indicate that it is within the realm or scope of my own experiences and contact. As when I stated "...That I have...

  8. Foreign nurses watch this...

    Hushdawg replied to bryanb_2003ph's topic in International Nursing

    I completely agree and I would love to see a US-accredited orientation training put together here in the Philippines. Unfortunately what we end up with are guys who bring a lot of fancy equipment and...

  9. Master's degree online in Philippine-based College/University

    Hushdawg replied to uniquenurse's topic in International Nursing

    Good point, whenever one is seeking a Master's degree from a foreign university with plans of applying it to an occupation in the USA then it is imperative to make sure that the university you plan to...

  10. Foreign nurses watch this...

    Hushdawg replied to bryanb_2003ph's topic in International Nursing

    The hurdle for physicians is not usually the EDL situation as most that I encounter speak English fluently and without heavy accent. The clinical component is the difficult task since that can only...

  11. situation: need hospital experience and willing to spend

    Hushdawg replied to mrmiyagi's topic in Philippines

    That is the right reason to attend seminars: Because you crave to learn what is being taught. Certificates are not useful in getting jobs in the USA, listing all the seminars you went to in your...

  12. Foreign nurses watch this...

    Hushdawg replied to bryanb_2003ph's topic in International Nursing

    I apologize for my use of the term. I used it for lack of something better and it has been misunderstood to mean something different. I do not mean administrative positions. I just meant that it is...

  13. Foreign nurses watch this...

    Hushdawg replied to bryanb_2003ph's topic in International Nursing

    I'm not saying I agree with this route, I am actually (gasp and shock) in agreement with you on this one. USMLE is not exactly difficult on the exam side, but the problem is all the effort and...

  14. situation: need hospital experience and willing to spend

    Hushdawg replied to mrmiyagi's topic in Philippines

    Which is exactly why Nurses in the Philippines should boycott this ridiculous volunteer and pay-to-work scam that hospitals are running. You are spending your time, skills and money and get nothing...

  15. Foreign nurses watch this...

    Hushdawg replied to bryanb_2003ph's topic in International Nursing

    Luckily most of the nurses applying for the USA are also second-coursers with BS/BA in another field. Many are MDs that have second-coursed as RNs. We aren't talking about Entry level positions for...

  16. Foreign nurses watch this...

    Hushdawg replied to bryanb_2003ph's topic in International Nursing

    That's completely the opposite of the picture I was given by a Canadian representative only last week. She informed me that the health care network in many provinces were in need of nurses and would...

  17. Foreign nurses watch this...

    Hushdawg replied to bryanb_2003ph's topic in International Nursing

    Which is why almost all hospitals require 2 years of paid experience before hiring a foreign nurse... even a BSN holder. I should have mentioned that part; I forget sometimes that not everyone is...

  18. Foreign nurses watch this...

    Hushdawg replied to bryanb_2003ph's topic in International Nursing

    There *ARE* Jobs. USA DOES HAVE JOBS. Since you are a BSN holder instead of an ASN (like most nurse grads in USA) you qualify for the mid-level positions where the shortage is rather than the entry...

  19. Master's degree online in Philippine-based College/University

    Hushdawg replied to uniquenurse's topic in International Nursing

    MSN/MAN are recognized in the USA, you need to get the school to prepare a detailed TOR for your records once you graduate, the evaluation can be done by anyone in the USA to fully accredit it. Most...

  20. situation: need hospital experience and willing to spend

    Hushdawg replied to mrmiyagi's topic in Philippines

    I meant unique in that it is clinical experience for a government project that will allow you to work in difficult rural environments as well as hospital environments. It will look good at a future...

  21. Please help. . . And quickly!!!

    Hushdawg replied to kemkem's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you; Smart Woman. That was the right way to handle the situation, nobody can bully you if you don't give them the first inch. YOU can command respect regardless of your age. Don't think as...

  22. situation: need hospital experience and willing to spend

    Hushdawg replied to mrmiyagi's topic in Philippines

    It doesn't technically matter about the size of the hospital as long as you are getting paid clinical work. You should keep account of your Nurse:PT ratios for interview purposes in the future. Bear...

  23. Nursing school in Philippine for foreign student

    Hushdawg replied to bumbumn's topic in International Nursing

    SilverDragon is right. While the Philippine nursing schools are accredited and the degrees are accepted in the USA; the course structure is different. Therefore transferring mid-way through your BSN...

  24. NCLEX CALI result

    Hushdawg replied to pinkcolor's topic in International Nursing

    First of all the "tricks" are urban legend according to Pearson-Vue reps, NCSBN and several trusted NCLEX review professionals. Secondly, the NCLEX exam is exactly the same no matter where you take it...

  25. situation: need hospital experience and willing to spend

    Hushdawg replied to mrmiyagi's topic in Philippines

    Maryland should release your license since you are an NCLEX passer as long as you have fulfilled all of their requirements. I'd reccomend getting a job in a US-based hospital in Dubai or Saudi Arabia...
