Raymund De Guzman: A Well-respected Nurse

By Alon Calinao Dy: Raymund De Guzman is my best friend in college and until now we are very good friends. 

He is one of the people I truly admire and respect since he spent many years of nursing service in the Philippines, particularly at the Hospital Of The Infant Jesus in Manila, before leaving the country to work abroad. He is also energetic and passionate nurse in his workplace.

Raymund graduated from the minor seminary in the province of Pangasinan; I graduated from the same formation house but in the province of Samar. He is a loyal and trusted friend through the years who can keep secrets and confidential information about you. He's a tentative and a quite person as he knows how to listen to his friends before making any suggestions.

Raymund, who presently works as a staff nurse at Al-Rustaq in Oman, believes that in order to become a successful nurse you should enjoy yourself in the service of the sick. 

It is the clean, white uniform that symbolizes the purity of the nursing profession, but it's always the act of the heart that does the talking and makes the job noble. He is well liked and wonderful nurse to all the people he worked with.

Beside me, he has dozens of friends since he is a friend or someone you can speak with whenever you have problems or you need a support system. It's apparent that he is admired by lots of people.

I'm so grateful to have him on my friends list as it is not a number of friends you can have, but it is the quality of friends that genuinely matters to me.

Thank you so much for the friendship, Raymund. I am sure you would bring many smiles to the people close to you, for you are a certified awesome friend. 

Don't Accept Nurse Applicants When There Are No Jobs At Hand

By Alon Calinao Dy: In the Philippines, there are many agencies that force Filipino nurses to meet the requirements before applying certain nursing positions overseas. 

The heartbreaking truth is that these agencies make it more difficult for our registered nurses to fulfill their dreams working abroad even though these foreign employers only require basic qualifications that are easy to provide at the deadline.

The worst part of this, they continue to accept nurse applicants even though the positions are no longer available for them. I hate to say this word but they are big BS*. Instead of helping their countrymen who hope for greener pastures abroad, they take advantage and make the situations worse for them.

Our professional nurses don't deserve these fraudulent employment agencies. They have the rights to know beforehand whether they are accepted or not, so that they can save time and apply to other potential employers who are willing to hire them. 

Stop making false reassurance to all those nurse applicants not only here in the Philippines but also to other parts of the world. Nursing is one of the most trusted and respected professions around the globe.

Nurses don't need these qualifications when these jobs do not permit them. They just need people who are true to them. Don't abuse them because they deserve great respect. Don't say anything against them because they help the economy of the country through monthly remittances like any other OFWs.

Please support and take good care of our Filipino nurses and nurses worldwide. Help them find reputable jobs that are suitable for their qualifications. 

Again, don't accept nurse applicants when there are no jobs at hand.

Mabuhay mga pinoy nurses at mga nars sa buong mundo!
