Filipino
registered nurses are in demand in at least three countries,
Federico Acdal, president of Greenfields International Manpower
Services Inc., disclosed this week.
In
an interview with the Bohol Chronicle, Acdal said that because
of the shortage of nurses in countries like the United States,
Canada and New Zealand, Greenfields is conducting a two-day
job fair in the provincial capitol on February 6 and 7 in
Tagbilaran City.
This
is in coordination with the efforts of the provincial government
of Bohol to generate more jobs for Boholanos.
Acdal
said his company has a need for registered nurses, physical
therapists and medical technologists in the United States
under a registered company IPC Group Inc (Reg. no 1031683),
To qualify for these positions, the nurses must have passed
the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools test
(CGFNS) or the state board RN examinations or (NCLEX). Preferably,
he added, nurses already with passing scores in the TOEFL
and IELTS English tests will be prioritized.

Openings
for registered nurses in the United States are mostly
in travel nursing which will provide the nurses opportunities
to work in different states with free housing.
For Canada, nurses must have obtained a score of 6.5
in all subjects except speaking which is required to
be 7. For New Zealand, "our agency in New Zealand
offers a free bridging course, which is a requirement
for licensing in that country. This offer alone is worth
$5,000 for the nurses as a bridging course fee. Nurses
must also have obtained a
score of 7 in IELTS in all subjects, to qualify for
work in New Zealand.
Applicants
for these positions, Acdal bared, can file their applications
