Capital Health of Canada is Planning to Hire 500 More Nurses?
Wanting to work as Pinoy Nurse in Canada? Here’s good news for you.
There is yet another opportunity for our Filipino Nurses to work in Canada as Capital Health, one of the leading healthcare institution in Canada with a growing workforce of more than 30,000 people, is rumored planning to increase their Nurses workforce by another 500.
The opening for nurses position has been openly posted on their website (but the 500 headcount requirement is not verifiable) at http://www.capitalhealth.ca/Careers/Nurses/default.htm
The good news is that Capital Health is open to internationally-trained healthcare professionals like our Filipino doctors and nurses. Capital Health is based in Alberta Canada so all aspiring Nurses should register or secure a valid permit with the College and Association of Registered Nurses of Alberta (CARNA) and/or the College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of Alberta.
You may need to pay an initial application fee before starting the formal process of assessing your nursing qualifications. This fee is paid by you and not reimbursed by Capital Health.
Of course, there is requirement to be English-speaking and you need to pass English tests namely the TSE and TOEFEL, prior to getting a temporary permit.
We wish you good luck in your application to Canada!
Filipino Healthcare Professionals are Integral Part of US Healthcare Workforce says Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
During a press interview by the Filipino American Leadership Council (FALCON), Filipino doctors and nurses have been hailed by the FCC Commissioner Michael J. Copps as meeting the demands of the nationwide healthcare personnel shortage in the US. He said that Filipino healthcare professionals are already an integral part of the US healthcare workforce especially in filling up the nurses shortage.
For a long time now, the Philippines is the number one source of foreign-trained nurses in the US and have made significant contributions to the American healthcare industry. This is a welcome remark coming from an independent US government agency despite the bad remarks made to Filipino doctors by the TV show, Desperate Housewives,
It’s good to know that. And I hope that this will continue.
