400,000 licensed nurses have no jobs in RP – PRC

Nearly half a million licensed Filipino nurses are now out of jobs.

The Professional Regulatory Commission (PRC) reported that the country now has an oversupply of 400,000 licensed nurses.

“Both public and private hospitals could only accommodate 60,000 positions, so right now we have an oversupply of 400,000 nurses,” said PRC Commissioner Ruth Padilla.

Padilla pointed out that the country produces 100,000 licensed nurses annually, but there are no additional positions created in both government and private hospitals nationwide.

She, however, expressed confidence that a lot of employment opportunities abroad are available for those licensed Filipino nurses who cannot find jobs in the country.

“We will not have difficulty meeting the high demand for nurses abroad because we have an oversupply. We welcome opportunities outside the country,” Padilla said.

The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) earlier reported numerous job orders for Filipino nurses overseas, particularly among highly developed countries.

POEA said the high demand for Filipino nurses is expected to continue for years because of the aging population in many highly developed countries.

But the Philippine Nursing Association (PNA) said the country now has an oversupply of nurses because of the continuing decline in the hiring of Filipino nurses overseas.

For the past years, the PNA said the demand for nurses in key destinations like the United States and the United Kingdom has declined due to US visa retrogression and the shift in UK’s policy.

Padilla, however, said the government is now negotiating for agreements that would allow the hiring of Filipino nurses in various countries.

No Sweat


Today?s miracle sweat-wicking micro-fibers hide a dirty little secret that serious athletes know about. They?re great at wicking away moisture. But they embed perspiration residue deep into the fabric. The result: musty, stubborn sweat odors that linger no matter how hard you try to get them out.

Happy talkie, talkie...


"What the heck are you saying?" Ever heard that before? Maybe Visual Talking can help. It's like the Twitter of PowerPoint presentations. Combine words and pictures to communicate -- it's that simple.

In your user question please consider asking something about a current event and how/if VT would apply, e.g., "Should the Olympic athletes use VT to help communicate?" or "Now that Britney has her bod back, should we send her VT messages to get her to quit smoking?" or "Should Homeland security include VT as part of their interagency communications package?"

Whether you are seeking a large tertiary care center, or a small community hospital setting, we have the job for you. With seven distinct Central Florida campuses, we offer exceptional opportunities to progress with a leader in specialized healthcare.

If you are looking for endless opportunity and a team that feels more like family than co-workers, then Florida Hospital is the place for you.

Please conformed accordingly the documentation procedures for H-1B working visa.

1. Submit comprehensive resume (u.s.format) along with their most recent 2x2 colored pictures
2. Must have nclex-rn, ielts and/or toefl, visa screen certificate
3. Must have at least a 2-year staff nurse experience (minimum 150 beds hospital) and that they also have at least 6-months experience in adult critical care nursing
4. Must have the ability to pay US$2000 towards USCIS Premium Processing and Fraud- protection fee and USCIS immigration filing fee.
5. Pass the final video-cam and / or personal interview with Executive VP for
nurses and HRD Team of Florida Hospital Corp.
6. Pass the H-1B visa interview at the U.S. Embassy-Manila for deployment in
Florida
7. Reimbursement of all fees will be process 2-weeks after arrival and employment in Florida.

Please note that those NCLEX nurses petitioned under the I-140 immigrant visa petition are still under the vestiges of "visa retrogression" imposed by the USCIS - whose lifting by the US Congress is still uncertain - up to 12-months to 2 years, if not more. There are approximately hundrers and hundreds, if not thousands of our Filipino nurses whoase immigrant visa petitions are curtailed by the specter of this "visa retrogression"

Bottomline -- it's up to each NCLEX nurse to make the decision to be freed from their I-140 immigrant petitions -- and opt instead to apply for the H-1B working visa that Florida Hospital Corporation and JES International Manpower Corporation (Philippines) are offering. The choice boils down to this: Either wait for the lifting up of the "visa retrogression" or apply for the H-!B working visa. The H-1B visa (3-years)can either be renewed or process to immigrant visa after a year of employment depending upon the employees performance and attitude.

We look forward if successful -- to being deployed in Disney-Orlando, Florida during the next 90-day period.

Actually we are direct hiring.... but all your documents will be process by JES International Manpower POEA Agency as our accredited agency for this job order. The first - 3rd batch were already deployed last June 15, 2008 and July 9, 2008. We are now on the process of the 4th bacth of recruitment, we are going to conduct an interview by phone by Sept. 2008 by the employer.

Eat Healthier, Not Cheaper!


By just about any measure, global food prices rose significantly over the past two years. It's not your imagination. Eating right is costly. In fact, you may pay more than $30 more per day on food if you make healthy choices.
