Good News, Bad News

First, the good news: We now have 27,000 more new nurses because of those who passed the June 1 and 2 Nurse Licensure Exam in the Philippines.

Now for the bad news: We now have 27,000 more new nurses because of those who passed the June 1 and 2 Nurse Licensure Exam in the Philippines.

Sadly, the goods new IS the bad news too. It's such as treat for the young breed of nurses who passed what seems to be the hardest obstacle in their nursing career only to find out that it is even harder to get a job here as nurses. So, well, congratulations are in place but welcome to the club of the jobless!

it's a good thing i won't be taking the philippine board exams this november! :) i am skipping it altogether and will hopefully be taking the NCLEX...I already sent in my application!

that's possible but unless you have a visitor or immigrant visa or are a US citizen, you might need to have experience in the Philippines first to be able to get a job in the US even if you pass the NCLEX. I had originally planned to do that but decided otherwise when I learned about what the agencies here require. Sigh* At any rate, I wish you the best.
