Prepare for incoming.

Even here, some people are so sensitive to any criticism on this topic.

Nope just an associates. 2 years the problems is the hospitals short staff so badly that nurses are overwhelmed. Pay is an issue but staffing is the issue. The hospitals refuse to hire enough nurses to staff properly trying to save a buck. It’s been like this for at least 20 years. It’s poor management that causes this shortage.

I've been working with Philippine nurses for the last 30 years. Nothing but a life of poverty on that island, I don't blame them.

They're much harder working than some of the 'minorities' in the area.

For some reason there are strict limits on the number of trainees that are admitted to nursing programs. The same is true of dental hygienists.

The social worker programs are enormous and growing.

I hope that the Filipino nurses coming over have a good advocate and are t taken advantage of. I hope they’re paid at the same rate.

And speak English, of course.

Something like 700 islands. Also, my girlfriend and her daughter graduated from university over there (and paid for it themselves!); not everyone is impoverished.

Looks to me if you want to be seen by American Nurses and Doctors, you will need to go south of the boarder.

That is where they will go to work in their profession.

Are there no American nurses?

The Hospital systems are firing them all as fast as they can import obedient, cheap replacements.

Many, perhaps a majority, are natural born Americans. Thus it makes sense to recruit from the Phillipines as there are no visa issues, just the expenses of relocating. They grow up fluent in English, and for many of these English is there first language.

“Many, perhaps a majority, are natural born Americans”

not exactly:

Similar to American Samoa, the Philippines and the Panama Canal Zone were unincorporated US territories that Congress never extended birthright citizenship to. Consequently the people born in the Philippines prior to independence were only non-citizen US nationals, not US citizens. At the time of Philippine independence, non-citizen US nationality was stripped from those who got it by connection with the Philippines. See 8 FAM 308.6

for more details.

There have been some recent legal cases challenging the fact that American Samoans do not get US citizenship, but they have been unsuccessful. If they had been successful, the same logic could also imply that people born in the Philippines before independence are US citizens too.

Importing foreigners to replace American citizens/jobs.

The XiDen Way.

In this instance, an invasion of natural born American citizens. Are ANY of you people aware that the Phillipines was an American territory, and when given their independence many chose to keep their citizenship, passing this down to their children and grandchildren? Those well educated AMERICAN citizen nurses, who by the way received superb nurses training, speak English, and may well be 5th or 6th generation Americans, or greater. Are you?

I think he’s on a cruise. So he may be busy. This is what he wanted. Americans exercising their constitutional rights replaced with foreign born personnel. Then again he gets his kicks being treated like royalty being catered to on the Norwalk cruise lines.

Nothing I said the freezer didn’t state themselves.
