I have worked with Filipino nurses, they are the most caring nurses
Highly reliable, responsible, truly hardworking with natural empathy for patients, and they always go the extra mile in carrying out their duties and services. These are the outstanding traits of our Filipino nurses. That's why they are always most sought after across the globe. Mabuhay Filipino Nurses!
I can second that!
But we have to step up and seen as leaders and author in this nursing related career, we often seen as bedside nurses. ❤
I've seen the worst,
No flips please.
Being a Registered Nurse here in the US for 7 yrs and in Las Vegas, the need for filipino nurses never changed. We are still needing more staff in our unit and in the whole facility. Filipinos are really good nurses.
Skills are very important. Once your confident you will enjoy your nursing career here in the US.
I'm a retired healthcare provider in the USA (30 years). I've been preaching this type of training here in the Philippines. It's about time…
Filipino nurses, finish your contracts..the problem with some nurses, they come here to the US and already act so entitled..we worked in the Philippines nearly as minimum wage earners, pag dating sa US,ang bilis masilaw sa sweldo ng iba..we all went through lower wages at the start..youd come to that point after your contracts but dont destroy the good impression the previous nurses built.
Ganyan naman kahit noon! Nakapag abroad lang, pag bakasyon dito, feeling elite na sila! Ang baba na ng tingin sa mga tao at relatives nila dito!
Ang daming ganyan dito! Example, they will confine their loved ones sa government hospital dito tapos mag hahanap ng hospital equipment na gamit nila doon sa abroad! At mag tatanong kung may high tech lab tests sila! Tapos mamaliitin o lalaitin ang government hospital!
They come here in our government hospital flaunting where they came from, flaunting their clothes, jewellery, vehicles, and their latest Apple cellphone! "Sa amin sa ganito, may ganitong equipment na kami! Wala pa kayo dito? Ano ba yan? Napaka backwards ninyo?" That's how they treat our government doctors and nurses here! Ang dami nating kababayan na ganito! 😂😂😂
@@butchfajardo8832laki ng galit ano? 😂 Minsan kasi ang nurse sa pinas kapag tinanong galit agad! Lalot alam nila na galing ibang bansa ang nurse. Dapat nga sabihin mo oo nga no, bakit wala pa nito sa pinas? Para naman makapagbigay ng magandang service sa mga pilipino. Diba? Naalala ko ang isang Nurse sa isang hospital sa Roxas Capiz, Ang pt. Nanay ko, diagnosis CKD, nasa ICU comatose. Napansin ko ang bilis ng tulo ng IV, mga more that 50 gtts/min. Since alam kong may CKD nanay ko, nagtanong ako ngayon sa nurse, sabi ko nurse ilang drops ba order ng doctor? Abay sumagot ng pagalit ang nurse wag mong pakialamanan yan naka KVO yan alam mo namang CKD case ng mama mo malamang KVO yan. Since ang taas ng boses nya, ayon sumagot ako ahh KVO pala yan? Sabay tingin sa mabilis na tulo ng IV. Baka naman mamatay mama ko yan. Sagot ng magiting na nurse "wala lang naman samin kung mamatay mama mo eh" ay wow! Sarap sapakin! Sa kanya pa nanggaling na CKD mama ko at kailangan KVO. Parang ako pa naging bobo sa lagay na yun. Ang oxygen, napalitan halos after 15-20 minutes. Kinalaunan, AYON NAMATAY NANAY KO. Hindi na ako nagreklamo kawawa naman kasi yung kapwa ko nurse. Pero sana naawa din sya sa nanay ng kapwa nya nurse. Sakit sa puso maalala. Hello Emmanuel! Ung nurse nyo jan sa ICU na matabang babae pagsabihan nyo! Paanong nakapasok yan sa ICU? 😂 Taong 2019 pa to pero di ko malimutan. Di ako makapagsalita kasi baka sabihin nnmn ang toxic ko. Pero.... ayoko ng ituloy!
@@xtianxtian1925, marami kasi nag nursing lang kasi uso. At marami hindi na train ng maigi! Isa pa, politics!
@@xtianxtian1925, im sorry to hear your story.
I am Seattle based stem cell nurse. Pacific Northwest is one of the most beautiful part of USA. We are proud that Seattle/ Tacoma area has a lot of Filipino American nurses. Nurses here earn at least 60 dollars per hour. Seattle has one of the highest salary in the nation. That academy that the lady from
Georgia is talking about is based in Seattle. USA need at least 1 million nurses to close the gap.
It’s not a brain drain for the Philippines. Most of these nurses are giving back to the community or places they come from. They became new middle class and a social class equalizer. Imagine that.
Seattle just like any major Cities in Cali has an extremely high cost of living. Salaries are based on the cost of living in the area. Like in the West or East coast, salaries maybe 20-30% higher than in the midwest because of the cost of living.
@@edmhie1 Nurses in Kansas city get capped when they passed the service of being a nurse for 10 years. Seattle is one of the most expensive cities in USA that does not cap nurses pay. That means you can work until retirement at 65 and still get the highest pay. Midwest caps the nurses pay. Less pay, less money.
Bay Area pays higher salary plus California has a strong labor laws and staffing laws. Mandatory break down, time and a half after 8 hour shift and double time after 12 hours. And California has a high cost of training.
@@maaltx My company matches our retirement up to 9%. I can retire from our company after working 10 years and get the pension. I love Seattle because it has a mild weather. No flooding, summer is so mild. Lots of hiking. I am a California nurse but decided to work and live I Seattle. Still have my California license active. I love Northern California better . So much things to do with nature.
Pinoy Nurse in Chicago here. I have a few questions:
1. Will this eliminate the CGFNS Exam (Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing School), the standard for all foreign "entrant" nurses who seek employment jobs in the U.S. healthcare system, which has been established since 1977?
FYI: CGFNS also includes license verification, testing, and credentials evaluation of graduates of nursing schools to determine eligibility for nursing practice in the United States.
2. Is Certification from this GRIT Academy sanctioned/ accredited by all 50 States, or only by its parent company in Seattle, Washington?
3. If foreign nurses wish to practice in Seattle, will a GRIT certification allow more (or less) chances to "re-take" their NCLEX State Board exam/s?
FYI: To practice nursing in Washington State, you must first pass the NCLEX-RN or NCLEX-PN and be licensed by the NCSBN. Then you must also fulfill the licensing requirements mandated by the state's nursing commission.
4. How is GRIT different from other Nursing Review Schools around the Philippines, which many are merely exploiting, Filipino Nurses since the early 70s?
.
They like Filipino nurse because so loving, caring, responsible and very patient ...
That is why they call them a nurse, Sana nga manantiling silang mapagmahal, Maalaga, responsible at mahaba ang pasensya and those characteristics should be always applied it in their profession as a nurse. Kapag nakarating na kayo sa ibang bansa naway manatiling kayong humble at hindi mapagmataas sa Kapwa niyo Pilipino o kung ano pa man ang lahi ng mga na-eencounter niyo.
Thank you
Thank you.
Nice to hear that news, but the Philippines needs more health professionals like doctors and nurses. Going around the provinces either south or north of the country where medical assistance are acutely needed. If you get sick for instance, one has to travel almost 10-30 kilometers to have their problems resolved.
Philippines is basically competing with richer, more prosperous countries for health care workers it produces. Raising their salaries to match those offered abroad will only trigger a bidding war which the Philippines can't afford. Ironic but unfortunately. true.
@@ronnelacido1711nurses don't need to match the sane salary but at least to acceptable range. can you imagine the salary range from 12-32k while other jobs offer 25-50k here in the Philippines.
it's an insult to the profession.
me for instance, i've got 242k per month while I was working in Qatar, though I resign and currently here in the Philippines unemployed at the moment, but not keen on working again as a nurse in the Philippines. other courses who have cheaper tuition fees in fact received higher salaries in the Philippines than nurses.
government did not give any assistance when they studied nursing or medicine paid and loaned for board tuition and alot of exam why stay only police and teachers and government employees have good salary.
What's the name of the school is that greet Academy is that right?
@@user-tp7dj4tn3b Grip academy.
Philippines nurses are very caring and smart . They are all deffendeble on the Job
Walang mga pinoy nurses na mag work abroad kung tataasan lang yong mga sahod nila dito sa pinas😎...kaya mapilitang mag abroad dahil sa liit ng sahod ng mga nurses dito sa pinas😲
America also need teachers, specially math and science
To the Philippine nurses, go for higher purpose when you practice your training. Be empathic, loving, understanding and patient. Oh, that's right you guys are known for these qualities already.
Be a magnet for love. In fact you are in the front lines to practice unconditional love.
Heal the world. We are one!
Thanks for info
Mag take na talaga ako ng NCLEX 🙏🇺🇸
Most of the new Filipino nurses recruited from the Philippines coming to work here in North America are deployed at the home for the aged not in a hospital. American hospitals really hire more experienced Filipino nurses that have years of experience from the Middle East and Europe that has nursing specialties to fill the hospital vacancies.
so what, better than the conditions in the Middle East or other countries..nursing homes are good training grounds, and provide stable work..just finish the contract, then move on.
Not all, they have th RD same opportunities!
Is home for the aged fall under SNF facility? As I've seen on some blogs snf has patient ratio of 1nurse to 50+ patients.
@@angel91485is work experience from home for the aged be credited as experience of will apply in hospitals after contract.?
It's perspective. One is not lesser than the other specially if you vibrate in spirituality.
The best nurses in the world come from kerala and the Philippines
trust po ako sa pinoy nurses kasi mabait sila at matatalino sila palagi naka front
🇺🇲💖🇵🇭 so happy to have all the Filipino nurses come to the United States of America that want to come over especially those that come to the VA, and I have had many over the years. Pagpalain ka ng Diyos Mahal Kong mga kaibigan 🇺🇲💖🇵🇭
Wow Nice Program....!!!! Kudos to people who created this idea....I guess this will challenge our schools and universities to upgrade the curicullum and facilities to gain knowlegde and practical skills that a nurse can gain.
because nurses here in the US are quitting and realizing that the risks and abuses are not worth the money… we are transitioning and moving to other careers
Working here in the USA is a tough job, pero at the end of the day , you need to hold on to it to pay for your bills. Patience is a virtue.Some of the nurses (regardless of race)umaalis sa bedside dahil sa "burnout", or madaming facility ang pinapatayo or expanding kaso kulang naman sa nurses.
That’s true… over loaded 5 patient per nurse.. telemetry. 4 for every nurse. Instead of four…it’s really demanding job..
It is a very hard job..it’s true, a lot of nurses don’t stay to practice bedside..if only im not thinking about my family, im out…back to the topic, Multicare is a big health care system here in PNW(I know I’m based here)for those recruits you will always meet Filipinos from every department, every department lol, from Doctors to kitchen housekeeping lol..Dont be culture shocked when you get here, hope the academy is prepping you for that.. I have seen nurses, who got verbally abused by patients and family members and not say a thing, just cry. A few quit, a few went back home to the Philippines..
Wish I could be a part of this!
Great that youve featured filipino nurse
Wow this is really good news.
Definitely the USA comprehensive approach to recruiting Filipino nurses is highly morally founded as it understands their situation and essential needs as well as their courage and perseverance to undertake their professional task abroad. God IS good! Alleluia! Q🙏🎉⭐️🇺🇸🇵🇭🌹
As a little girl this was the headline. All these decades later you are telling me all the potential in America could not produce enough nurses when hospitals fired them for refusing that shot.
She's so passionate on getting our nurses hahah
How much do theese nurses pay for the 4 months program or training
On my experience at thé oncology department doing chemotherapy for two years i was observing who is the best service or doing very good since ì experiencing bad work of nurse not a Filipino that hurt my IV cannot do perfectly do to the IV since that happened I always requesting a Filipino nurses to the IV with me so now I proven how the Filipino nurses work very good
The requirement hasn’t changed (at least 1 year experience) - that how it was for me 35 years ago, to come to the US
A Seattle based Nursing Academy in Manila is training nurses for the American hospital in USA..
That’s a good program, how can we contact them???
The Philippine goverment need to paid enough to all the nurses in the Philippines otherwise they all leaving even here in Australia they want a filipino nurses
great question
Such a fantastic video
Go Nurses!
Filipinos can speak the English Language. The Nursing books used to teach are American Authors. We work hard, we persevere. Kaya gustong gusto ng Amerikano ang Pinoy.
They should also provide EMR training for Cerner and Epic.
Ang hirap sa ganyan recruitment hindi mo alam kung saan ka idedeploy...ung recruiter based in georgia but it doesnt mean dun ma aassign. pwede ka itapon sa outskirts/rural area of the state which means malayo sa center. Hopefully sa adami ng Filipinos sa america, you can find a community where you can relate. may filipno store where you can find the ingredients to cook your favorite filipino foods. condition your mind na new country new company manage your expectations para successful ung journey nyo to your new endeavours
Awesome 👌
The requirements to be a U.S. nurse are easier than ever....❤
What do you mean ? Pre-req, Hessi, voluntary experience, NCLEX. What am I missing ?
You just need to pass NCLEX RN and you may choose PTE or IELTS it depends on states that you want. I hope it clears your mind.
May I know where is this hospital in the philippined
And we are the ones losing nurses. The nurses in the hospitals seem to lack enough experience and skill because once they get the experience they leave right away to go to the US or other Anglo countries and so they are being replaced by new and fresh graduates without so much training and skills.
???
This is so true. Experience is always vital in a work that demands specific skillset. The only thing good about in PH is Filipinos are fast learners.
That’s the truth what’s I think.
so can anyone take this training or only filipinos ?
Siguro yung IELTS at NLEX exams ay para sa screening ng mga partners recruiment agencies nila, then ang training for 5 - 7 months ang sa kanila. Ibig sabihin complete documents na before ang training.
Hi, Hello Can I ask where is this Great Academy in Manila.
Is the program cost shouldered by the nurse trainee?
WOW WOW WOW THE BEST OF THE BEST NEWS I HAVE LEARNED FROM THIS CENTURY FOR PILIPINOS MEDICAL PROFESSION. SURE YOU WILL HAVE A BETTER LIFE IN USA WITH YOUR LOVE FAMILY. GOD BLESS MS. JESSICA CALZARETTA THE WORLD NEEDS A HUMAN BEING LIKE YOU. from. London. Manolo
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Our hopsital should also be equipped with full facilities and equipments
Im not updated, did they lift the Retro already?😅
The Philippine Government should improve the health care in the country. Increase the salary of health care workers. Or gusto talaga ng pilipinas na mag produce ng nurses para may ipadala sa abroad.
You are right today it is a history because lot of nurses passed the board exam. The passing rate increased rapidly. Compare 2008, 2013 wherein 30.9% lang good today na 2023 80% na.
How can I apply?
Super cool
It’s additional courses like seminars for nurses..
YES. , SUPORT
Nice ❤
Is there a fee to apply?
It’s not a cnn report. It’s a company ad.
*12 years: Amount of time it would take to address the nursing shortage in the Philippine", according to the Department of Health.
* 127,000 nurses are required for the Philippines to meet the WHO's prescribed ratio of nurses to per 10,000 population.
*54% of local registered nurses in the Philippines are active in the practice. According to PRC in the Senate Committee hearing in 2023
Because in America IS VERY EXPENSIVE the Education here
Students in American citizens all of high school students trying so hard to getting to nursing majors but difficult for them and they said not enough nurses in America it sad to hear that for Americans citizens.
My son RN is candidate for this is that a candidate should undertake 2 exams NCLEX and OET. Before he can go training.
Do they need to be a US citizen or just a regular OFW with contract only?
The American company that's recruiting these nurses will also help these young professionals immigrate to the US as permanent residents, upon passing their US state licensure.
@@michaelsindiong3153 what about those nurses who dont want to be a resident?
@@markiemack8383 Then they have the option of just applying for nursing positions in Saudi Arabia, Dubai, or the middle East. These Muslim countries usually do not require nor allow foreign workers to become permanent residents or grant citizenship unless there are highly unusual circumstances.
Come to work here get more experience and back to served our own land ❤
Kc ang mga Filipino ay mababaet mapagmahal sa mga alaga sweet lahat kahit sa middle east gusto Nila ang katulong pilipina kc maalaga at malinis at English ang Salita sa mga alaga
If I'm a Filipino nurse, I would apply in Australia, where there is universal health care. They don't have that in the US, and medical insurance there is so expensive.
😊
Nurses now in USA are not overworked. There are nursing assistant and nursing aid who do the dirty work.
Is this a free training?
Those eyebrows are indeed on unprecedented, highest level 😅😂
Wow good news for the Filipino nursesim sure 90% of them will embrace this chances.....but the problem Phils.will be short of health care people but i dont blame them bec.they dont get pay enough ,like for example an office wrker there and some engineers they only get paid around 20 to 22,000 pesos where here in abroad ur only hotel attendant or wrk in a supermarket they makearound 90,000 pesos only if they get paid enough no one will leave the phils.
Wow even canada hired filipino nurses from canada
the have to be NCLEX passers, then CGFNS, et al ..... 7 months is not realistic
Is it? She mentioned the requirements already.
@@LarryfromPH: she failed to mention the essential requirements like passing the board exam ( NCLEX ) , IELTS, and Visascreen! There is also a priority date … 7 months is unrealistic ! Their partner agency is responsible for the pre screening of applicants !
Malakas ang demand...
Pero paano tayo sa Pinas? 🤥🤒
I don’t oppose for any healthcare workers to work overseas but please let them work at least 3-5 years due to shortage of nurses. And also please include your training on finance, such as credit card, retirement fund, car loans, and taxation.
okay sakin dun ako s nursing home s states mghihintay ng kamatayan ko bsta Pinay mg aalaga sakin..kasi isa lang pamangkin ko at wla kami anak ni hubby's nasa 40's n kami.Wla akong pgkakatiwalaan s pinas.kasi ofw ako dati at hndi aq lage nkipg chikahan s relatives s pinas.So I'm not close to anyone.😊
Awww...I'm sorry to hear about your situation...but you're making a good decision to have a Filipino nurse take care of you and your hubby in your future golden years...😊
Hello there, God bless them.
Ecclesiasticus Chapter 38(DRB)
38:12. For the Lord created him:
and let him not depart from
thee, for his works are necessary.
38:13. For there is a time when
thou must fall into their hands:
Great project.
If it is true you can bring your family then they have a competitive advantage!
People don’t understand that to become an RN in the US one needs to pass CGFNS and then to pass NCLeX exams. Not every foreign RN is able to do that. Many RNs around the world want to come to US . The barrier is CGFNS test.
I think it depends cause Im NCLEX RN NY State
Are the Nurses are supposed to be Nclex passers already?
I would stay away from Seattle area. Not safe at all and the City itself is deteriorating.
Before mga Teacher naman nag Punta sa ibang bansa
So😢sad the Phil’s.lack of nurses.The take up nursing not to work in the Phil’s.but to go abroad.
It is sad btw how much the nurse in pinas are making?
its governments fault for not providing enough salary
I understand.
EVERYONE DESERVE BETTTER OPPORTUNITIES/ PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT TIME TO WAKE UP AND THINK GLOBALLLY IN HUMANITARIAN WAY. Manolo
9 minutes ad😂
Is that your natural color?
That's a great question..
And of course these nurses have to pay for it!
The catch there is they might be charging an arm and a leg to get in to that academy. Poor nurses have to dole out some before even getting into the program.
Kaya pala maraming foreign student na nag aaral ditu as nurse
We focus much on health workers' demands abroad, yet we have yet to care for our own who work locally, are still underpaid, and lack essential benefits.
The most stressful job
Nurses should serve at least 3 years first in their homeland before they allowed to work overseas 😢
Why? There are so many nurses in the Philippines but why do you think we have shortage? We have surplus of nurses in the Philippines. Most of them are either unemployed or underemployed. It boils down to wages that is not par with the skills of the nurses. Why stay in the philippines when you can get better emplyment outside the country?
Maubos na ang mga nurses sa pinas kununin na nila mas malaki pasahod nila lalo na ngayon may kailangan pa naman din sila sa pinas kahit ako man mas pipiliin ko mas malaki sahod.
We need Filipina Nurses in the Philippines not Overseas or Abroad. They need to be train more than 4 months its not enough. They should complete 4 more years, their standard is not enough, they need English courses, most speak English with accents and needs improvements, social skills using facilities like U.S. standard, Why would they need to immigrate if the Philippines has many Seniors and old, sick, poor population that needs care, Philippines need Doctors, Nurses, Care Givers, I feel Sorry for Filipinas leaving their Country the Philippines that needs their services. Reason why they are leaving, its because the pay rate is so low in the Philippines 🇵🇭..
well, if the philippines raise their salaries they would stay in the country🤣
that's not gonna happen 😂
