Hi, i was the one who sent you messages about my daughter, im happy to let you know that her i485/greencard just got approved 2 days ago, 5 mos on premium processing. She was on b2 visa when she came here then took & passed NCLEX & Ielts & converted to Eb3 then found a sponsor, its a facility but direct hire, the pay is good, & they were the ones who shoulder/reimburst all expenses except for her spouse+kid yet in PH. She's has 2 to choose from a big hospital in Tx & one facility in TN that she choosed coz its closer to where we lived. Its a 3 yrs contract, no choice but what matter is she already settled here. Thanks God for the blessings.

[@NursePhotographer]

Congratulations, Mamalou! Ang galing! Change of status agad! Though I'm curious sa process ng COS na nasa States na. I have a few friends said that laki raw singil sakanila ng change of status agad dyan sa States.

[@mamalouparker7880]

@@NursePhotographer hindi malaki meron nga ako alam lately pwede pala mag diy knlang pag nclex passer ka para hindi naka stuck sa 3 yrs contract meron nag paprocess cila yun price package nila kasama na immigration fees/ consultancy/& lawyer's fees for a good price. Very straightforward. At least to walang contract. Dati sila mga immigration officers nagpaprocess sila ng mga eb3 skilled/unskilled, h1b h2b etc. Sna d2 na kmi lumapit kaso too late na ng nalaman nmin.

I went for direct hire (ako nagbayad lahat pati sa Atty). At dahil ako nagbayad, hindi ako binigyan ng buy-out fee at years of contract ng employer ko. In short, AT WILL EMPLOYMENT. I found out na mga kasama kong US nurses are earning 55 to 65$/hr while I was earning only 48$/hr despite my 12 yrs experience. Kahit ako daw nagbayad lahat including Attys, nagbayad pa rin daw sila ng 10,000$ per nurse sa Direct Hire Agency kaya lower ang sweldo namin compared sa US nurses. I resigned after 1 yr and 5 months. Now I'm free as a bird and looking for a new employer that will pay me properly.

I signed up with Medpro in 2018 and at that time, I did not know how to start my journey. All I know was that I need to start somewhere. Its 2023 now and I just hit my 1st year in the USA officially. Knowing what I know now, I can confidently advice anyone NOT TO PUT YOUR FUTURE IN MEDPRO. People have different opinions and experience but in my personal experience and opinion, MEDPRO IS THE WORST. I pray that you will find an agency who will not traumatize you but actually “TRAUMATIZED” is just the to of the iceberg if I can describe my experience with MEDPRO.

[@NursePhotographer]

Hello Rush! Thank you for sharing your experience but actually... hindi ka nag iisa may iba rin ako kausap na yan rin sinabi nila ;P

[@enocharendon1518]

oh no. I am with medpro and just waiting for my visa. I'm currently working in the UK. Should I terminate my contract with them as early as now?

[@haynaku2]

@@enocharendon1518 hello im in uk too and thinking to go with med pro

[@Yourfaveblogg]

What exactly has medpro done, is their contact that bad?

[@TeeHan-lt1ks]

MedPro is a secretly toxic agency. They will deceive, manipulate and gaslight you. I know a lot of agencies are now looking at migrant nurses to fill in the demand for nurses here in the US. If you have to go with an staffing agency, which is actually not the best route to begin with, just beware of Medpro and avoid them at all cost. Let me tell you from experience. Medpro only looks out for themselves. If you are an explorer who’s not comfortable working at your facility, unless its for a life or death situation, or probably even if it is the case, guess what, they will never transfer you. They will hear your side and get all the information regarding your complaint but in the end, they will talk behind your back with the facility. They call this “investigation”. The facility obviously doesn’t want you to leave, so they will deny all your allegations and complaints. That’s a rational move on their part because of the burdens of replacing an employee. And what does MedPro tell their explorers: “it happens in all hospitals, everywhere you go, you will experience the same treatment, you will have the same problems with coworkers or management, it’s useless to transfer you, you cannot leave, if you leave or don’t finish the contract, it won’t end up well for you.” I fell into depression and I wasn’t able to thrive in my facility because no matter what I do, I was perceived as very petty even if other contract nurses have also left the facility for the same reasons I was complaining about. It is a part of my “branding” at this point. I did not feel psychologically safe working there but all I can do is take the abuses as normal part of life. This is nothing for MedPro. For them, we are here to work and not for holiday. Work is supposed to be messy and this is America and immigrants need to have that harsh awakening. Medpro will never err on your side. They only have their best interest in mind. The sad part is you would have to endure this for 3 years, your mental health will suffer and it could even cost you your nursing career and american dream. Medpro knows very well that migrant nurses do not have a lot of choices. They will exploit every single weakness and lack of choice that we have to their advantage. You can never trust Medpro. They are not pro explorers. Right from the start, I saw the red flags at my facility but it was a mistake to trust MedPro as my confidant. It was a mistake to trust Medpro for my American dream. Trust is very crucial and I worry that this lack of trust will follow me even after I escape this toxic environment that I am in right now. Avoid MedPro guys. They will be a plague in your life.

Heyaa Sarah! Notorious yang year na yan dahil sa leakage eh. Alam ko oo pero depende sa state. I think safest is New York. Try mo there since actually they don't require NLE nga para maka pag NCLEX. Good luck Sarah! You can do it!

I wish I can pero kasi that topic might trigger some people na may favoritism or may mainis. People are more sensitive now, especially, when it comes to reality. Siguro talagang use EXTENSIVE research for the employers para makita mo the good, the bad, and the ugly sakanila. Gusto ko talaga yan pero that might put me in a position I don't want pare.

[@marialourdesc.1573]

I just passed my NCLEX and now planning to have current bedside. But with my age 37,i think I can only get 1-3 yrs experience. Staffing agency offers 34$per hour, but direct hire only offer 30$ maybe because I don't have experience yet.(I guess), for those who doesn't have years of experience, with 3 dependents and with no funds to pay everything while processing to achieve the US dream. Is it advisable to go for direct hire? Or staffing agency?

[@NursePhotographer]

Lourdes, normally direct hire is always a better choice pero then again depende ito sa situation ng buhay natin. Since na type mo ito "with no funds to pay everything while processing to achieve the US dream." baka mas mag work sayo ang staffing agency pero uy ipon ipon ka parin pang gastos sa dependents mo (i-140/plane ticket/ at SLEC nila) + pang pocket money mo. Siguro ok rin follow to join dependents mo kasi laki rin gastos dala family BUT! KAILANGAN KASAMA FAMILY DAHIL NEED MO LABANAN ANG LUNGKOT!

Sir give me insights in Williamsburg Virginia. Cost of living for 4. 13wks under agency then direct na sa hospital.

You can try at the FLC kung pasok sa PWD salary mo but no idea if ok ba sa cost of living of 4. Kaya yan but baka super tipid and need mo mag OT or get another stream of income. Try mo watch content ni Big Daddy RN, Marie.
