  1. SEC assessment ? A JOKE !!

    pilgrim replied to dhatcher's topic in Immigration Advice

    I see where your frustration is coming from, but please don't let it get the better of you. Is relocating to another province an option? Manitoba seems to be still hiring. You sound to me like a young...

  2. Present image of Filipino nurses abroad

    pilgrim replied to AHPRA's topic in International Nursing

    Thank you. As you

  3. Present image of Filipino nurses abroad

    pilgrim replied to AHPRA's topic in International Nursing

    Feigning innocence where it does not exist, only adds to one's culpability. If one can't or won't accept criticism, but can and will dish it out so freely to the entire Philippine nursing profession,...

  4. Present image of Filipino nurses abroad

    pilgrim replied to AHPRA's topic in International Nursing

    I believe this is the same poster who says she's ashamed to be a Filipino nurse? Clinical Instructors and lecturers with no hospital experience? - Page 8- Nursing for Nurses No. 76 Referencing the...

  5. Clinical Instructors and lecturers with no hospital experience?

    pilgrim replied to Libby_09's topic in Philippines

    This poster obviously did not graduate from a school that upheld the high standards that made the label Filipino Nurse a badge of honor, in the good ole' days. Such schools do exist, even during the...

  6. Philippine College of Health & Science(PCHS)

    pilgrim replied to subzer0's topic in Philippines

    Those who want the shortest cut to obtain a diploma aren't doing themselves and their would-be patients any favor. There's a reason why "schools" with no academic standards to speak of thrive: there...

  7. How long it will take to have a visa appointment??

    pilgrim replied to de_g's topic in International Nursing

    From the sound of it, this poster used "extra effort" to get a tourist visa to the US. Tsk,

  8. Most Expensive Nursing School in the Philippines?

    pilgrim replied to jobe1903's topic in Philippines

    20 is actually 4% of 500, which, in any language, is an extremely dismal performance by any school, by any standard. This is clearly a case when one can't say "it's not about the school, it's about...

  9. Genesis Medical Center ---don't fall for this SCAM

    pilgrim replied to medic8's topic in International Nursing

    Begging your pardon, but I think there are rules in this forum about writing in text language. Let's show some courtesy to the moderators and other posters by observing the rules. Besides, writing...

  10. If you are a CNA in California, Can you continue as an RN in the Philippines ?

    pilgrim replied to markie07's topic in International Nursing

    I am willing to bet my last devalued peso that your classmate didn't get her diploma from a school. She more likely went to a forger and bought a cleverly crafted facsimile. Offers of counterfeit...

  11. MAN / MSN at UERM

    pilgrim replied to nurseharbee's topic in International Nursing

    I am not familiar with the Master's Program at UERM but if it's any help, this school is one of only 5 in the country that is considered as a Center of Excellence for Nursing

  12. pinoycare visa.. is that really the exact embassy filing fee?

    pilgrim replied to jay_j's topic in International Nursing

    Am I correct in my understanding, that you really don't know how much the filing fees are? Seriously. Can't you Google that? Didn't you do any research prior to making the decision to apply as an...

  13. filipino to migrate in Canada.... what to do to become a RN?

    pilgrim replied to dejavu88's topic in Immigration Advice

    I will have to agree with Jan's observation. While some slack may be allowed the latest poster on account of her obvious youth, the question she presented is something that's been asked over and over...

  14. Nursing Schools in the Philippines

    pilgrim replied to jencas's topic in Philippines

    do i think it's worth to study nursing in the philippines, you ask? my answer to that is an absolute, unequivocal yes, if and only if you take up the course in the right institution. the definition of...

  15. to my fellow filipina/filipino nurses working abroad

    pilgrim replied to nursey2008's topic in International Nursing

    I honestly don't think there's a valid or sound enough reason to explain that kind of behaviour. That "pack mentality" smacks of immaturity, insecurity, even. I guess those people don't feel confident...

  16. Nursing Schools in the Philippines

    pilgrim replied to jencas's topic in Philippines

    In connection with JADAYU's post, here's my two cents worth. As a nurse and a parent, I respectfully suggest that you take up your nursing course in a reputable school that has an established nursing...

  17. tourist visa granted but went home to the philippines

    pilgrim replied to gracielle86's topic in International Nursing

    I find it inconceivable, that the fact that she's a nurse never came up during her visa interview. The occupation is normally the first thing that a consul asks. If officers at the port of entry are...

  18. Louisiana board of nursing can"t give license

    pilgrim replied to evk's topic in International Nursing

    I never had to take the test but my children did, and, at the risk of sounding immodest, one had a perfect score, and the other, a near perfect score. I taught them the rudiments of basic English...

  19. Louisiana board of nursing can"t give license

    pilgrim replied to evk's topic in International Nursing

    TOEFL is really just basic English. It's the English that we were taught in grade school until high school. Aside from practice tests, I doubt that there would be a lot of review materials that can...

  20. CRNE - Do they give temporary visas?

    pilgrim replied to an63lica's topic in International Nursing

    I think it's important to point out that before you can sit for the CRNE, you first need to apply for assessment in the province where you intend to practice. This takes months, over a year even....

  21. Interesting article about "diploma mills"

    pilgrim replied to NurseCubanitaRN2b's topic in Immigration Advice

    I have been absent from this forum for a while and read postings on this thread with some degree of amusement. The scenario, as described in the original link, could have taken place anywhere in the...

  22. A Foreign Grad Nurse in a Foreign Land

    pilgrim replied to tennessean777's topic in International Nursing

    Do accept my felicitations, too, LatinaVN (or should that be LatinaRN now), for a job well done. You deserve respect for dealing with all the hurdles and doing the work to realize your goal. As a...

  23. A blatant discrimination to all filipino nurses

    pilgrim replied to boot_unit's topic in International Nursing

    Agreed, westawakenings. I just hope that the younger ones would somehow take heed and not simply be defensive. I know very little about the practice of nursing in your part of the world. However,...

  24. A blatant discrimination to all filipino nurses

    pilgrim replied to boot_unit's topic in International Nursing

    Thank you for the insight and the honesty, westawakenings. I, myself, am not a rookie. I completed my training many moons ago from the school that's considered as the training ground for future...

  25. A blatant discrimination to all filipino nurses

    pilgrim replied to boot_unit's topic in International Nursing

    I can't agree with you more, westawakenings. One major problem, I think, is the false sense of entitlement of some of our colleagues. Paying hundreds of thousands of pesos to some unscrupulous agency...
