9 US states recruiting Filipino nursesO ayan, baka iwanan na naman ninyo mga tarbaho ninyo’t mag magnursing na naman kayo ha? Baka uugod ugod na kayo bago kayo makagraduate nyan. But here’s good new to those wanting to work in the US as nurses. Except that, did I hear that there’s a mandatory 3-year na magtrabaho ka muna sa Pinas before you can travel and work overseas? Anyway, click the link and follow the story.

Another story that there are not enough nurses: Of course we know that already!

At least nine US states are now “eagerly recruiting” Filipino nurses and other health professionals, the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines said. Former senator and TUCP general secretary Ernesto Herrera identified the nine US states as California, Texas, New York, Florida, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and New Jersey.
