    di ko lubos maisip, na ang kursong second lang sa domestic helper, ay maraming pa ring kumukuha, at feeling sosyal pa ang mga estudyante nito. haha.

    My daughter graduated on 2009 as a nurse, then she took the board and passed it … she took up again the IELTS and passed it also with a high mark … then she took again the NCLEX and passed it also … lahat ng ito isang kuhanan lang … ng nag-aaply na siya puro experience ang hinahanap, so ang ginawa ng anak ko nag-apply siya for training sa isang fllagship hospital ng bansa, nagbayad ako ng mahigit P10,000.00 for 4 months na job training. akala ko pagnagtraining na siya, makakapasok na… wala pa rin, puro pag -aaplly at search sa internet ang ginawa niya … luckily, nakatagpo rin  siya ng trabaho as a nurse but it took her some time to find a job … to all nursing graduates, sa dinaanan ng anak ko, sana wag na ninyong daanan at kung sakaling maeexperience ninyo, tiyaga, dasal sa MAYKAPAL ang inyong nawang maging sandata … GOOD LUCK

    marami ang aking nababasa na saan pupulutin ang ating mga bagong graduates na nurses … marami silang options kasi iba ang kanilang field, maari silang kumita ng malaki (40T-70T) sa call center. remember nasa health industry sila.  may ilang call center na ang field of concentration nila ay health.  tulad ng anak ko, bago siya makapasok sa hospital, she works as a call center agent but not an ordinary one, kasi ang lisensya niya sa new york ang nakataya o ginagamit dito. unlike ordinary call center agents, ang ating mga nurses ay may mga lisensya, tulad ng IELTS at NCLEX or CGFNS, malaking bentahe sa kanila ito, kasi lisensiya nila ang binabayaran ng call center when making  transactions … after finishing a transaction with a customer, they will note their license number at yung ang malaking kaibahan nila sa isang ordinaryong call center agent.  yan ang binabayaran sa kanila, ang kanilang lisensya …
    may ilang diyan na minamaliit ang kursong nursing … siguro frustrated siya sa kursong iyon o may pinagdaanan siyang di maganda.  nursing is 4 years course, walang pagkakaiba ito sa ibang kurso na 4 years din kasi pawis, panahon at pera ang inuubos dito ng mga magulang at mag-aaral.  i have also a son, an architect working now with a prestigious company, pero pareho lang ang nakita kong hirap ng aking 2 anak ng sila ay nag-aaral.  bakit sinasabi na walang kuwenta o 2nd lang sa domestic helper ang kursong nursing.
    pagdating ng araw at nagkasakit ka, 2 tao lang makikita mo lagi sa tabi mo … ang mahal mo sa buhay at ang sinasabi mong walang kuwenta kurso o pang domestic helper lang, ang iyong nurse.

    I sympathize with the plight of our nursing graduates. If this situation happened 18 years ago, they could easily get nursing jobs here in America.  However, the situation now is different.  I remember picking up my wife here at the Texas Medical Center, Houston, and I could see a lot of Filipino nurses coming out of the hospital. Now, I can only see mostly old Filipino nurses and young Indian nurses. I don’t know where these nurses could find jobs if they want to work abroad.
