Pinoy nurses told not to expect US hiring till 2020.

[jake_smack11]

bro given mana nga motrabaho ta para naa tay income, kasabot ko nga mangita gyud ug better opportunities ang tawo. But I just don't accept the explanation nga kuwang ta ug facilities thats why daghan ug nurses nga walay trabaho. There are many factors that led to the surge unemployed RNs. And the fact remains the same, that the main purpose of these professionals choosing this profession is to work abroad and not serve the local health care needs. Mao bitaw nang daghan ni take ani nga course kay it was a doorway for most Filipinos to work abroad, so since close man ang door ron for US and other countries for the RN market....they are stuck here, and then the government is blamed kay ngano kuwang ug facilities.....

I also nag about the incompetency of the government and how it runs its service for tax payers, but for me...di lang gyud nako ma accept ang reason nga tungod kay kuwang ta ug facility mao nay rason nga nagkalata tanang RNs diri ron sa pinas.

nganu di man ka kadawat bro nga kuwang jud health care facilities ang pinas nga klaro naman
kaayo?.maypa mosuroy ka sa sotto and tan-awa ang situation sa mga patients..

Yes bro, that's one option I conveyed especially for the newly graduates/nurses. Career change rather than a licensed nurse without future or unpaid nurse volunteer for several years. Aside from CC, others went back to school just to pursue for medicine; others shift to other courses; others engage in networking business/home based jobs; others working on other medical fields eg health safety officer, med rep, phlebotomist, medical transcriptionist, therapist, nutritionist and lab technician. Worst is that I've seen nurses working as baggers/cashiers/fastfood crews and even drivers.

Naa juy mga RN bro nga nanimpalad sa gawas pero di gihapon ka-practice sa ila profession, nangapply maski unsa na lang. Malas in a way na sayang ang gi-skwelahan, pero at least wala nagpabadlong nga mag-istambay.

Naa to 1 time nga nangita among company og junior designer nako, sagunson jud to 3 ka licensed nurses pero kabalo sad mu-design nga na-interview nako, ok man sa akoa. Problema lang pag-abot sa akong amo kay gisultian sila nga try sa apply sa mga clinic dinhi. Naluoy ko pero saon ta man di man ako ang magpa-sweldo.

nganu di man ka kadawat bro nga kuwang jud health care facilities ang pinas nga klaro naman
kaayo?.maypa mosuroy ka sa sotto and tan-awa ang situation sa mga patients..

bro you dont need to tell me that...kahibaw ko sa situation sa atong public hospitals...murag wala lagi kasabot ang mga peeps diri sa akong gusto pasabot....yes granted naman na nga KUWANG ANG HOSPITALS NATO FOR PATIENTS but dili siya primary reason ngano daghan unemployed nga RNs tungod kay KUWANG UG HOSPITALS ANG PILIPINAS.

Let me repeat it ha....since the opportunities to go abroad is very very scarce....you my dear RN's are forced to work locally just to earn a living....So it's already a given nga KUWANGAN SAD ANG HOSPITALS NA INYONG KASUDLAN kay nanaghan naman mo diri nga na tambay sa pinas..

So going back...I just want to point out, that I do not accept the reason nga tungod kuwang ta ug facilities....daghan RNs walay trabaho...

Bottomline ang primary reasons...

daghan graduates = higher competition....
daghan RN's = limited opportunities of going abroad (in terms of demand sa foreign countries)


Hope that makes it clear....

Oh yes bro, thanks for sharing your insights. I guess you're referring to foreign nurses who underwent immigration to such countries like Canada/Australia/UK/NZ/USA as one option to go abroad. Many believed living in those countries considered as stepping stones but it entails a lot of money.

Upon their arrival, they cannot practice as a nurse but to struggle for any survival jobs in order to figure their settlement funds. Some applied as janitors, assistants, secretaries, baggers, trash collectors, maids and mostly caregivers. They will encounter much ordeal for better life.

When they've collected enough funds, that's the time to practice their own profession. Some applied for student loans. Their credentials such as education must be assessed and registered on a nursing regulatory body like our country's BON. They have to meet their requirements before licensure. All foreign nurses will go back to study for continuing education program. It serves as a refresher course/training depending on the years of experience, hereby ensuring competence to render quality service. After the said program, they must pass the required exam. BTW, it's a long journey before becoming a successful RN abroad.

bro. unsay pasabot nimo anang sa healthcare facilities?

Health care facilities such as clinics, hospitals, nursing homes, specialized health centers e.g. trauma, birthing, psychia, pedia, ortho, cancer, etc. They're designed to offer quality health services to those who need medical attention.

the difference between health care professionals between other courses is the number of employment opportunity in a certain place. like for instance here in cebu we only have 6 - 7 big hospitals to cater thousands of graduates.

whereas I.e Engineering or IT related courses there bunch of opportunities in IT park,MEPZ and the like.

if only there is a MEPZ type institution for hospitals then dli gyud mglisod ug trabaho ang mga nurses.

Hmm, I get your point bro. IT and Nursing have both different fields. Actually, these two courses were integrated on the nursing curriculum. Subjects include software packages, nursing informatics and health technology. I think there's no MEPZA/IT Park type institution for hospitals when it comes to health care delivery system. Unless the IT company needs industrial/company nurses but with only limited slots. We only have huge tertiary hospitals with different special areas/units. All of these units are inadequate to occupy more patients/nurses.

However, IT has a significant impact on the nursing career for instance health organizations can utilize for work efficiency, accessible to research, reducing errors and improving patient's data processes. As it progresses, they can offer new job opportunities for nurses specifically unemployed. It's a new trend that new nurses/nursing graduates entered BPO industry turning themselves into call center agents/data encoders/analysts/sales associates and health care insurance representatives.
Thinking these perspectives as career change.

US Hospital now prefers US graduate nurses if you have BSN certificate only, even if NCLEX certified. they prefer also a year or 2 US hospital experience.

To be competitive foreign graduate has to be MASTERS degree, even more NP or nurse practitioner. Doctorate in Nursing Practitioner is about to be offered also, These kind of degree is good for spouse who becomes an immigrant or citizen by virtue of marriage. On evaluation and observation, Asians are in majority ( mostly Filipinos ) for these kind of education.Other nationalities and mainstream US citizen didn't and has not opted for this continuing education. Such course takes 3yrs to finish but some US University are fast tracking NP course to meet up the demands as a substitute for MDs especially in the US depress areas. The fast track which started mid 2010 and to end mid next year, entails a ONE YEAR COURSE to some universities, and A 2 AND A HALF years to some universities.

it is of advantage to some if not many Filipinos Physician who migrated becoming a nurse in USA. NP is almost on the same level of a US Medical Practitioner.

NP is now the continuing education, in anticipation of a greater need of such field since the MDs are on a short list much more in the years to come when a new US healthcare program is implemented the Health for all.

we hope that there would be a course in the philippines for a Nurse Practitioner in the future.
