A rolling nurse gathers no boss.

I’m thinking of getting a job with the oil companies in North Dakota, the ones Sean Hannity is interviewing on his talk show. My Filipina wife doesn’t want to go there because it’s so cold, but maybe she will like the place after all.

Filipino potlucks are the best - Lumpia, adobo, mmmmm.

Having 20+ years of experience in health care I'm of the opinion that nurses trained in certain countries,the Philippines included,aren't as well trained as those of other countries...US/Canada/Britain/Ireland,etc.The nurse shortage in the US seems to have eased but particularly where the need is greatest one can argue that skilled nurses should be paid more than they're getting.

Doing (more) jobs Americans won’t do ??

Years ago you saw blue collar jobs go away as manufacturing was sent overseas to low wage countries.

Today, big corporation and government even, see the cheap pool of professionals in places like India as a low cost alternative they can bring to the US in those white collar jobs that can’t be offshored. Things like the H1B visa are grossly misused to this end, but since big corporate America was the one behind formulating the legal verbiage of some of these rules, it’s all legal and government itself plays this game!

40 years ago the goal was to build a factory in the Philippines to build a widget. Today the goal is to get a Philippine or an Indian engineer to come to the US and work for $40,000 a year in a white collar job.

They’re all hunting for rich dumb American husbands - the nursing thing is just the way in.

That’s only one good answer to the high costs of the medical rackets.

regarding immigration:

I think this type of immigration should be enabled unlike the uncontrolled mexican immigration.

And it is not about color, mexican nurses are also welcome.

It is the vast amounts of uncontrolled and often unskilled labor that is the problem.

We need a canadian style immigration system which is wholly color blind but focuses on skills, health, age, education, etc.

Having spent the last year trying to get help with multiple health issues the cultural, language and inferior educations of all foreign medical personnel jeapordize our very lives with some notable exceptions.

Is this the same Trinity Health care the feds raided in Florida and jailed the family members for organized crime. They were from Chicago. We lost our hospital because of them.

Filipinos are wonderful people, male and female. Great people.

Just hope they speak English at work.

Today America is just an economic zone for foreigners to flit in and out of as they please
