Philippine nurses online Registration for UAE employment exams

Pinoy nurses can register online for UAE employment exams 11/14/2009

More Share29 Filipino nurses can now apply for work at the United Arab Emirates online, as a shortage of nurses there has prompted it to set up an online recruitment system for such caregivers.

President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo recently issued Executive Order 835, directing the Philippine Labor department through the Professional Regulations Commission (PRC) to conduct Special Professional Licensure Board Examinations for qualified OFWs.

A report on UAE-based Khaleej Times said the UAE Ministry of Health now allows applicants to register for entry exams online rather than in person. Although the system allows applicants to register for exams from abroad, the candidate still has to appear to sit for the exam in person. A total of 23,000 nurses and midwives are currently working under the ministry of whom only 25 are men.

“We launched the new registration system on the ministry website six months ago, and we have been getting hundreds of applications everyday," said Dr Fatima Al Rifaee, Director of the Federal Nursing Department in the ministry.

Of the nurses working in UAE, 40 percent are from India, 30 percent Filipinos and the remaining 30 percent are local nurses and those coming from other Arab countries.

Local nurses comprise merely 4-7 per cent.

A UAE national nurse is paid around Dh6,000-7,000 (P77,674 to P90,620), while an expatriate nurse gets Dh4,000-5,000 (P51,783 to P64,729).

International standards require one nurse for every five patients, but UAE hospitals average one nurse for every 10.

Such a trend prompted the Ministry of Health to fuel recruitment from abroad by allowing applicants to register for the entry exams online.

But while the system allows applicants to register for exams from abroad, the candidate still has to appear to sit for the exam in person.

Some 23,000 nurses and midwives are currently working under the ministry of whom only 25 are men.

Recently, the ministry recruited 242 nurses for the school health departments in Dubai and the Northern Emirates on a war footing to manage H1N1 cases in schools.

The online system also aims at reducing burden on the customer service desk at the ministry.

“We had several people enquiring about the exams and the registration process daily," said Abdullah Nuaimi, Section Head of the Registration and Regulation Department at the ministry.

“Introduction of the website has streamlined this procedure," he added.

Candidates can take a suitable appointment online to register for the exams that take place five times a year except for the midwifery exam that is held once a year.

However, Nuaimi registration alone does not make a candidate eligible to sit for the exams.

“We have to verify forms, certificates and licences before the nurses are allowed to appear for the exams," said Nuaimi.

The ministry also holds exams for registered nurses and midwives in English while for practical nurses, the exams are held in both English and Arabic.

Also, the officials said that despite the huge number of nurses getting registered in the UAE, those actually taking up jobs are a few.

“Several countries readily accept UAE-registered nurses, so we are actually a kind of bouncing board," he said.

Low-salary structures, skyrocketing prices of basic commodities and the spiraling cost of housing are some reasons why many nurses opt to leave the UAE and take up jobs in the West.

Trends also showed nurses from the region migrate to the United States and European countries that offer family and immigrant visas From GMA News

PRC news release 01/13/2010 MANILA, Philippines – A new schedule of licensure examination for nurses has been announced for the year 2010.

The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) on Tuesday announced that the board examination has been moved from June and November to July and December.

“The Board examination will be on July 3 and 4, 2010 and December 12 and 13, 2010,” the PRC said in a press statement.

The change of the schedule is in compliance with the Commission Resolution No. 2009-537 dated November 13, 2009.

The deadline for filing of applications for the July examination will be on April 14 (repeaters), while the deadline for first time examinees is on May 14.

Philippine Nursing a dream?

Via Manila Bulletin Philippines There's good news and there's good news. But first, some not-so-good comparisons.

From 2001 to 2002, a total of 9,000 registered nurses were hired for overseas employment. Since 2003 those numbers have dwindled to 300 a year. This should be seen in the context of local nursing schools graduating 95,000 nurses last year.

In sum, there are today some 200,000 graduates who are not employed, at least not as nurses.

The good news is that the world still needs our nurses. Come Feb. 6, a group representing employers in the UK will be in Manila to interview 150 nurses and observe them for potential employment in UK hospitals, including the one named after Princess Alexandra.

The bad news is that even as our nurses are prized for their skills and caring ways, many of them flunk the tests for their inability to express themselves in English.

The good news is that nurses aren't the only ones being hired. According to a director of Jai-Kin Resources in Quezon City, oil and gas workers are in demand, too. They are cadet engineers trained in the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute - and if the news gets any better, it is that they command salaries of up to US$2,000, with free housing.

More good news. The nurses who will make it to the UK need not worry about placement or recruitment fees, salary deductions and other charges. They won't pay for their plane fare, and the work visa is free. In addition, assures Jai-Kin, their employer will take care of their overseas spending program for the first three months, before they take the UK board exam.

The bad news is that they must have two years hospital experience, on top of which the required score in the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) must be 7 or better. Via Manila Bulletin Philippines http://ph.news.yahoo.com/mb/20100108/tph-nursing-a-dream-2d4f68f.html

Deceptive scheme' of some schools target mostly nurses, healthcare professionals

Deceptive scheme' of some schools

POEA Administrator Jennifer Manalili warned applicants about the deceptive scheme of some training and learning schools. These schools, she said, target mostly nurses, healthcare professionals and students who are required to finish their course in the said school then given promises that their school will facilitate their employment abroad.

Another is the trainee-worker scheme, where workers are recruited and deployed as trainees based on an agreement, even as training and learning schools are not licensed to recruit workers for overseas employment.

Manalili also reminded applicants that UK restricts the charging of any placement to persons seeking employment. She further stressed that all interested jobseekers should ckech the veracity of employment opportunities abroad through the POEA website.

According to the POEA, the Middle East remains the major labor market for overseas Filipino workers in 2010 as the financial crunch has minimally affected the economies in the region except for Dubai. Press release

Australia course a boost to local Australia hospitals’ staff

BY CLARE QUIRK 05 Jan, 2010 Via bendigoadvertiser TWENTY-FIVE international nurses will have the opportunity to work in Australia, thanks to a new course at La Trobe University.

Twenty-two of the nurses are from India, with one from Japan and two from the Philippines, and all are registered nurses in their home country.

The 13-week IRON program will give the students first-hand experience in Australian health care and provide them with accreditation with the Nursing Board of Victoria.

Course co-ordinator Dr Sharon Kendall said once the students have accreditation they’ll be eligible to work anywhere in Australia.

Shortage of nurses in USA but .........

Via Philippine Inquirer: Even with the recession, there is a surge in employment of local nurses in the US as visas for foreign RNs and other health care workers are no longer readily available as they were a few years ago. The fact remains though that, as baby boomers age, the need for health care grows and a shortage of nurses is still projected in the coming years.

With the current immigration system, a severe backlog resulting in “retrogression” halted the issuance of visas for many foreign health care workers to the US.

At present, USA visas are only being issued for foreign RNs whose petitions were filed in 2002.

Unless new visas are added by US Congress, RNs and other health care workers who have already been petitioned will have to wait for many years.

While many Filipino nursing graduates have already passed the board exams and the NCLEX exam, the important consideration for many is the question when they may actually migrate and start working in the US or other countries. Many families invested in the nursing education of their children just to find them unemployed and unable to migrate.

What is a Registered Nurse RN and License Nurse Practitioner LPN in USA

The laws would vary by state. RN (registered nurse is higher paying and has a higher sckill leverl than an LPN (License Nurse Practitioner) This is a good description of LPN roles and how they relate to RN:

If it weren't for licensed practical nurses (LPNs), an already overworked staff of registered nurses and nurse practitioners, would find their days even more stressful. LPNs, called LVNs (licensed vocational nurses) in Texas and California can be thought of as those who provide a very personal level of care to the patient.

While they normally work under the supervision of physicians and RNs, their responsibilities increase as they become more proficient. You'll find LPNs taking vitals, monitoring in and out volumes, turning patients to prevent bedsores, treating and/or dressing wounds, providing enemas and much more.

You'll also see LPNs recording vitals, taking measurements of height, weight, temperature, blood pressure, pulse and respiration, giving alcohol rubs, helping patients deal with personal hygiene and providing a friendly face and caring heart as each patient journeys toward recovery.

In the old-time war movies, you'd see wounded soldiers speak of an angel of mercy (meaning a nurse), and while LPNs did not exist in those days; today's LPNs are the ones helping patients on a day-to-day basis, providing the personal care a registered nurse or nurse practitioner might be too busy to provide.

Because state laws vary, you'll find some LPNs administering prescribed medicines, starting IVs, while in other states this may not be part of their job description. Because many patients will finish their convalescence at home, it's often necessary for LPNs to spend time with family members, instructing them in the intricacies of home care for a loved one, providing instructions to family who otherwise might seem overwhelmed.
