maharlika,

you're doing the right thing. let me give u an overview. ang minimum wage dito sa ON is $10.25, un ung sa McDo etc... for students actually not a serious one. next the lowest in the food chain (sa healthcare) is yung PSW parang CNA sa US, they get about $14-$18 per hour, pero dapat may BLA or ALS ka, so if you have certificates, bring them with you. PSW lang muna inaaplayan namin dito kasi kakahintay sa assessment na yan. next, RPN mga $22-$24 per hour ang starting, with the salaray, u can buy a car and pay for the rent, u can send your show money back to where it came from (if nanghiram ka lang)... next is RN (now this one is tough, they'll make sure you'll get a hard time qualifying for this. reason: we only have 10 yrs basic education and the canadians have 12). 29 dollars sa homes starting 30 plus sa hospital. yung pinsan ko na kalaro ko lang nung araw, 24 y/0 pa lang $42 per hour! she has a nice JEEP patriot.. anyway, now, since mahirap magpa assess ng RN and kelangan ko na mag work, pinalipat ko ung assessment ko from RN to RPN, it cost me about $470. just think about it... mahirap mag PSW, back breaking work un...

kiko

Agree ako kay kiko regarding CNA work. Noong nagsimula ako bago maging LVN, CNA din ako dahil para sa akin basta lang kumita ng US dollars e okay na. Habang tumatagal, e pahirap na ng pahirap ang trabaho. Hindi lang matataba at bedridden ang mga pasyente, dumi pa ng dumi! Huwag ka na umasa na matatapos sila sa pagdumi dahil sa katabaan nila ay aabutin iyon ng buwan! :D Tapos maswerte ka na kung kumita ka ng US$12 per hour. Napakalaking sakripisyo talaga!

its like this, PSW reports to the RPN's, rpn's job is to report to the doctor and give meds and paper works (in the absence of a RN). basically lahat ng labor work sa PSW, taht's why hesitant ako mgwork... hehehehe
Pinaganda lang ni kiko. hehehe. Ang totoo nyan ay ang mga RPNs ay alila ng mga RNs. Bakit kamo? Papano lahat ng kayang gawin ng mga RN ay kaya din gawin ng mga RPN, kaya kung titingnan mo ang nursing station, puro mga RN ang nakaupo tapos mga RPN nakatayo at nagtatrabaho! Ang pinakamasakit sa lahat ay halos doble ang sweldo ng mga RN!

u nid 2 yrs experience and have to write the exam again... mahirap din daw trabaho ng nurse dito eh... ewan ko kung bakit laging pagod..
Bakit laging pagod? Papaano understaffed ang facility tapos kung wala kang RPN o CNA, ikaw, OO IKAW!, ang gagawa ng patient care!

Hindi tulad sa Pinas na palaging may family-member na nagbabantay sa pasyente. Kapag dumumi ang pasyente, ayaw palinis sa mga nurses. Gusto nila sa family-member magpalinis.

Sa Canada, bihira ang family-member. Masakit man sabihin pero makikita mo lang sila kung hatian na ng ari-arian ng yumaong kapamilya nila. :(

This is true but the only thing an RPN cannot do is assess a client which is the part that is paid more to an RN. Kaya dapat after a year we have to be an RN and after a year of MS experience mag masters na kayo, be an RN-Anesthesist or a practitioner :)

Four years ago I worked on a tertiary hospital that provides medical services to foreigners with health insurance. Men they were all fat guys. My attendants/caregivers are breaking their backs just to lift the fat foreigner up his bed. If I'll be doing that without a mechanical lifter I may think twice before signing up for the job. Just my 2cents.

Naka working visa lang kasi kaming mag-asawa sa US e. Assuming walang maging problema sa papers namin through our employers at sa immigration system ng US, mga seven years pa ang aantayin namin bago kami magkaroon ng green card. Napag-usapan namin na sobrang tagal naman noon. Mahirap magplano ng kinabukasan namin kung walang kasiguraduhan.

Nabasa ko kc sa ibang forum na ung ibang nag apply sa manila visa office, SSS contribution daw pwede rin proof na nagtrabaho ka sa company, sabi pa nga nila during the time na accessible pa ng kahit sino ung sss system pati daw ung officer in charge sa case mo nag-oopen doon para lang makita kong may mga contribution ka on specific period of time. alam naman kc nating lahat na madali lang magpagawa ng employment certificate. I suggest na if u can get a copy of your statement and stamped by SSS include it.
i agree with u 100%. mas credible kasi yng documents from third parties. maybe that's why some visa officers no longer bother calling employers to verify our employment. they look beyond the documents we submitted.
