Nurses Creed

Lord, let me begin today with your blessing To provide care for those who need me. Give me the patience to listen, Intuition to see beyond the visible, Knowledge to practice the art of nursing, And the attitude to deliver care with humility. Help me to see every patient clearly Unbiased, and with individual respect. Help me to face fear and anxiety With kind words and a gentle touch. Help me to see the joy and wonder each new day brings And let your healing light shine through my hands. This I pray in Jesus name. Amen!

RETROGRESSION

There are only about 9,800 employment-based immigrant visas per year available for the Philippines. That number is shared by all professions including Engrs, IT, Nurses, Cook, etc. Dependents also get from that quota.

Philippines is among the countries which are known to be over-subscribed, meaning there are more applicants than the available visa numbers.

It is imperative that the only solution to our problem is additional visa numbers through legislation. However, 2008 is election year. Just like last year when politicians started campaigning, this year will be much more and seeing immigration law passed is far from possible.

Currently, the situation is the retrogression of EB3 Philippines but there are some hope with EB2 Philippines because it is still showing "C", current. If EB1 and EB2 Philippines are left unused, it will be given to EB3 Philippines come end of the immigration fiscal year, that is about July to September 2008. I think those with PD of 2004 (lucky if 2005) will get a shot for a visa this year.

Those with PD of 2005 to 2006 (half of 2007), will get shot for a visa in 2009 and those with PD of 2007 will get in 2010.

Just a prediction if Congress did not do anything after 2008 election. Lucky for us if Clinton wins, there maybe something in store for us.
