Congratulations to Shayne Clemente a nurse from Bayani Nurse Center in Naga City (Bicol), for being a top performer of AmDream’s NCLEX Online. Shayne passed the NCLEX in June 2009.

Her testimonial:

“Sitting for the actual NCLEX exam was a breeze. I guess it was because I practiced, reviewed and rationalized using the online computer adaptive testing everyday for the past three months. When the computer stopped at 75 items, I knew then that I am a USRN!”

- Shayne Clemente (Top Performer NCLEX Online Review across the Philippines)

With the economic crisis still without end in sight, Filipino nurses working in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, particularly those hired effective July 1, 2009, will have a fatter take home pay as the Ministry of Health headed by Minister Dr. Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al-Rabeeah raised their salary to 40 percent from the old basic rate of Saudi riyal (SR) 2,550.

This increases the affected newly hired Filipino nurses’ monthly pay from SR2,550 to SR3,570, approximately P45,774.54 in today’s exchange rate (SR1=P12.8220), the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia’s Saudi Recruitment Office (SRO) Manila headed by Fahad S. Al-Msaibeeh, employment attaché, said.

Covered by the salary increase are those hired effective July 1 and with at least one year working experience after passing the nurses’ board examinations. At the same time, the official of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) urged Filipino nurses who want to work in the kingdom to make sure their documents are in order and contain no fraudulent records because the Saudi government is very strict in applying their laws.

Much earlier this year, Saudi Ambassador Mohammad Ameen Wali revealed his government’s plans to hire about 5,000 Filipino nurses as new medical facilities are being constructed in the kingdom as well as filling the manpower of existing facilities. The embassy had relayed this to the Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE) under Secretary Marianito Roque for a government-to-government hiring of the nurses.

A delegation from the Saudi health ministry visited the Philippines recently and interviewed thousands of nurses for immediate hiring. Nurses to be assigned to Makkah and Madinah must be Muslim, while other Saudi areas accept both Muslim and non-Muslim workers. Saudi Arabia remains the top destination of Filipinos going abroad to work.

Despite the global crisis, Filipina nurses and caregivers are still in demand in the United Kingdom. Even nurses who have not taken the board exams can qualify to work in a UK-based caring home. The good part is that the British Embassy in Manila has shortened the processing of UK work and student visas. What used to be a three- to four-month processing can now be over in just four to six weeks.

Consul General Teresa de Vega and British Ambassador Designate Stephen Lillie were exclusively interviewed by the ABS-CBN Europe News Bureau. “Meron naman po demand para sa mga nurses, para sa ibang skilled professionals,” said de Vega. “I think it’s obviously an area of opportunity. How many people will be recruited obviously has to be determined by the health service here in accordance with points-based system,” added Ambassador Designate Lillie.

The Caring Career Training (CCT) Company is one of the four legitimate recruiters of Filipina nurses and carers into the UK through a student visa. It requires a minimum two-year school training. The nurses and carers receive a monthly modest pay, which progresses depending on their performance at the assigned caring home.

Almost 200 nurses had already been recruited by CCT, and they appear to be happy with the training facilities and accommodation. “May mga paperworks talaga. May mga workbooks, mga sasagutan,,, related naman sa work,” commented Joanne Timbol. “Naghahanap din sila ng mga work plans namin pero hindi naman kami pinapabayaan,” said Sheila Gonzaga.

But CCT clarified that there is an initial corresponding free of 3,500 pounds (P300,000) to cover training, food and accommodation expenses including the visa. This does not yet cover the plane fare which the applicant has to pay. Jay Mariano, CCT overseas director, said, “In the Philippines, we do not receive the money. What happens is that they do the transactions straight to the UK. Para po may receipt sila .”

Based on statistics, there is an annual increase of 10 percent in the manpower requirements of UK caring homes. Unlike in the Philippines, the population of adults is much higher in the UK. Apart from nurses, the Philippine Embassy said there is also a demand for plumbers and electricians.
