Maayo raba kaayo na sila mo generalize diri. I can just imagine EVEN their patients nga nakadungog ug balita pareha ani o di, mawad-an ug kompyansa sa mga filipino nurses di ba?
What you do there affects how you are viewed by the world. Isolated incident? It doesn't matter because it can still contribute greatly to the reputation of medical professionals from the Philippines as a whole.
Guys the keyword here is Marketability and whatever baho ipagawas gikan diha sa ato, manimaho gyud. My sister who used to work at Marriott Hotel once had lunch with her colleagues and on the news was about the Philippines, she felt so bad when all of her friends all looked at her and they seemed to have an impression that we all live in nipa huts in our country, or even my co-worker asked me if we really eat snakes or whatnot everyday! Although HR professionals in hospitals are adept to current employment trends and issues but am sure they'll hear about this one.
The medical world is not a laughing matter, it has to be taken cared of very cautiously, will patients trust you based on reputation? THIS IS A BIG DEAL. Slowly, with these incidents, hospitals will be very extra cautious when thinking about hiring filipino nurses.
