Well that should be the case. Even if they have masteral units, but the fact that they are fresh from school, without having hospital experience, Is nothing but dangerous both for them and for the students. Yes I agree, they may have the nursing skil...

Simple and let us not make this complicated. To be a n efficient Clinical Instructor: 1.) One must inherit the passion for teaching. 2.) Meet the requirements/qualifications to be a nurse educator. a.) Has the licensed to practice nursing i...

Hello Armidevs. I understand your point so much like I understand the point of Alexk49. I am a product of a Philippine Nursing school, and so I understand that what filipino nurses are practicing in the actual area may not as always be the ideal nurs...

Please consider this for goodness sake.

Being a member of this site, I am raising my motion to suspend this thread until further review from the admin/moderators. This thread has caused plenty of us be deeply emotional and infuriated. Begging the Admins and moderators in the house to do...

I have to agree with you this time. At the end of the day, we must realize that all the messages posted here are highly opinionated (though it has some facts as well) and does not in any way mean, you have to believe and carry out OUR advices,opinio...

Much of the statements you've made bears good points actually. I agree and you are just doing fine. I being a filipino, does also understand your sentiments. However, through the years that I've been somewhere outside PHILIPPINES and had live USA f...

To Maui: I am not saying that I went through a criteria that I am suggesting, the "skills assessment". I have never said that I've gone through any other way. Criterias/qualifications for a nurse to come over here remains the same through the years. ...

This americans/amerisians who frequently visits the Phil forum are just showing/expressing their concerns with the alarming number of new Filipino nurses whose skills are really not that good and is still insisting to come over USA and be a part of o...

Nursing Education in the Philippines is no longer like it was during my time. We have to accept this fact kababayans. Even those exemplary schools that you are talking about are also having some lapses now. UST, UP, St. louis, Siliman etc etc was onc...

I'm sorry but I cannot see any inconsistencies in statements made in here. And if you think there are as what you've like to believe, then I wonder why you keep on visiting this forum afterall. There are plenty of other forums out there where you ca...

Again, I am just cautioning everyone not to be so eager in coming over to USA. It's hard to be happy, then all of a sudden happiness turned to sadness due to job offer cancellation. And job offers to cancel is not merely prediction. It's actually tak...

Now you talk about apples and pears out of nowhere. As what I have said, and would like to say it again, Having a good experience in nursing practice is of course an advantage especially in recent years as quality of nursing education is somewhat de...

When I posted that message, My intention was to let my brothers and sisters in the Philippines be aware of the present condition of the USA. That it is no longer the America as it was 14 years ago when I first stepped the american soil. It's not a po...

I fully agree with you. Ombudsman are paid for his job. But sad to say, His views are often ignored. As defined in Encarta Dictionary, An Ombudsman is someone responsible for investigating and resolving complaints. Someone investigating complaints r...

I am presently living in Sacramento California. I've been in 3 states already since I came over to USA and work as a nurse years and years ago. I decided to settle here since my relatives and my parents are also living here and the weather is quite f...

Yes I fervently agree with you Silverdragon. People waiting in line must at least be thankful because cut-off dates did not retrogress. This is something to be celebrated with. A whispering voice is telling me that I, or we should be thankful still...

Have you guys saw the January 2009 Visa Bulletin? It's not as wonderful as everyone out there is expecting. I'm sure a lot of you are so disappointed by now. This is what we are telling, with the bad economy, everything will in some way or another...

The Visa Bulletin has much nothing to say even if it will be current. Hospitals are finding it hard to look for ways paying their employees due to a drop in income brought about by less number of patients coming in. When Hospitals census are low and ...

Your honors: I really appreciate the way you rebut all those comments raised by me, moderators and some members of this house. But I still see things the way they are. And for someone who is here in US already, for someone who is really observant to ...

Hello Chavelle. I am sorry but I am helpless with you. In the first place we dont have any idea of what you are talking about, to which board you are contacting with and for what reasons you're contacting them. I guess it is just rightful that before...

"Thankyou for agreeing with me. **I'M** not comparing myself with that - several posters on this thread have chosen to lump all "foreign" nurses in one basket as undereducated, inexperienced morons. No, you may not have used those words, but the impl...

Just came across a funny note from a newly grad nurse: "Received patient on bed, comatose, GCS 3/15 but patient is ambulatory with assistance. " hahhhahaaha

Hey guys. Don't get too much emotional. Things would just end up to a boiling point when everyone stands to what they beleive and does not consider anyones opinion. Let us just stick to what is real and with what is happening at present. No one forc...

"When the financal troubles improve, the hospitals downscaling and hire freezing will be looking for nurses again." ---> Yes you are obviously right. But the question is when? And if that moment will come, then definitely employers may need to hir...
