Catholic hospitals have been doing this for years.

If Duerte will let them out...he had placed some curbs on letting trained nurses leave the Filopines as he felt they were needed back home!

An RN with 5-10 years of experience can EASILY earn over $100K here in state I live in. How much more incentive do Americans need to get off their collective duff and get degree in nursing?

The are generally very bright with a tendency to be too rigidly by the book but that’s like a lot of new nurses. Later when their medical “gut” matures, they are simply unbeatable. Because of their Christian Catholic backgrounds, they integrate into our country generally well. I love working with Filipino nurses... and doctors, too! I’ve never encountered any bad ones, at least, the ones who work in the ICU’s I’ve worked in.

Agree. This is not so much about money. A lot of people who coudl be RN’s choose instead the various NP specialties. Even more money there. Hospitals are sprouting like mushrooms in my neck of Florida. Somebody has to staff them.

Henry Ford Hospital is based in Detroit with Hospitals and Clinics scattered throughout the suburbs.

Usually Canadian Nurses work in Detroit Hospitals.
Usually, some are full time, some on-call and can go through the border with ease.

But Biden continues to keep the Canadian border shut down.
If those border crossings open up, we wouldn’t need overseas employment.

Amazing the Philippians can enter this country but not Canadians??
Moronic.

I don’t know of any healthcare system in the USA that is not requiring their employees to be vaccinated. The hospital my wife works in already was short of RNs before COVID-19; the vaccine mandates as a condition of employment has recently exacerbated the labor shortage severely.

Someone posted an article that said many Alabama hospitals were not requiring vaccination.

The hospital system my daughter works for just today mandated the vaccine with the end date in January.

So they fire American nurses for refusing the experimental Vax and then complain that they don’t have enough nursing staff?

The H1B visas were not supposed to be used to replace American workers, but that’s exactly what’s happening.

How difficult is to obtain a vaccine certificate in the Philippines without being vaccinated?

I am a vet and use the VA health care system. Two things that strike me as insane policy is the use of MD Residents (who rotate out every 6 months or so) and Muslims as a primary care provider.

Do they know how to make TikTok videos? I think that’s a pre-requisite.

Living in the Philippines must suck if its a step up to move to Detroit. They’ll move here and then wave their flag, cook ethnic food and switch to their language when they don’t want to be understood. Why not stay in the fabulous Philippines?

The mix of Asians and Detroit blacks will be funny tho.

They fired them because they refused to submit to being medical experiment test subjects?

A large hospital chain in Oklahoma does not have mandates.
My daughters is DNP for them.
The head of infectious diseases refuses to take the shot.
Can’t mandate a shot and loose your key people.

“the use of MD Residents (who rotate out every 6 months or so) and Muslims as a primary care provider”.

Visiting Pasco County, Florida, I was asked to select my doctor from the hospital’s photographic lineup.

Nearly half were wearing turbans!
