    lawrence01 replied to pinoy_guy's topic in International Nursing

  14. I thought there's a shortage of nurses in the Philippines??

    lawrence01 replied to vanillasurprise's topic in Philippines

  15. SAYS POEA Direct hires for overseas work should be cleared by DoLE

    lawrence01 replied to pinoy_guy's topic in International Nursing

  20. I thought there's a shortage of nurses in the Philippines??

    lawrence01 replied to vanillasurprise's topic in Philippines
