First Week in America as an Immigrant

Hello nurses
Migrating to the US... It is not easy! Making a decision to leave my family, pets, project car, business back in the Philippines for a chance of a better life in America made me think twice. I even doubt myself but I know with the right determination, discipline, and the help of God. I will make it!
On this video I'm sharing our one week experience here in America. Pure tourist mode lang kami, medyo magastos but hey! Ok na mamasyal dahil pag nag simula na training/trabaho... tuloy tuloy na!
Good luck sa mga patungo sa US!

[@NursePhotographer]

Hello Winnie! Thanks for those wonderful worlds! Nakakatuwa! Oo magiging busy nga totoo. Hopefully yes. Ayoko rin na sstagnant dito sa YT. Will do my best, pag busy malamang puro shorts ang mashshare ko lang. Thank you! Ingat lagi!

[@MoguMarv]

Bro! I'm happy for you, nandito ka na sa US! Enjoy enjoy muna habang ndi pa nag start. Pag nagstart ka na it's hard to divide your time sa mga bagay bagay kasi priority mo na yung work and adjustment sa work. Looking forward to more videos, lalo na sa adventures nyo.

Hi Welcome here in AZ!! Bago din ako dito just arrived Sept. ☺️

[@NursePhotographer]

Whoa cool! Are you in Phoenix too?

[@carlamonicarubio]

Grabe! I am smiling all through out the video. Lakas ko makaproud friend, haha! Kasi nakakatuwa talaga yung mga videos mo, lalo na about your USRN journey. And naeexcite na ako for more days ahead. I wish you all the best and praying for you and your family’s safety everyday. Congrats again Nurse Daniel and thank you so much for inspiring 🇺🇸💲

[@SuperBhoie]

Yes ako rin nasubaybayan ko US journey mo at ang saya ng experience mo. My wife's niece naka 3 kuha ng NCLEX di pumapasa. Ano ba tip na maibigay mo. Kac bukod sa working yun 2 pa yata ang anak laya maybe di maka focus. Ang anak ko naman right after ng graduation kumuha agad at nakapasa.

[@NursePhotographer]

@superbhoie, sakripisyo talaga. I had the luxury lang of huge savings and few passive incomes kaya I can focus on my NCLEX for months. Pero kung mag day job ako, hindi ko rin alam kung kaya ko pag sabay sa aral ng NCLEX. Galing ng anak mo! Congrats po!

[@NursePhotographer]

Hello @carlamonicarubio! You made me smile! Thanks for those kind words! I hope everythings good on your end. Ingat lagi and God bless!

[@shaiarquero]

💲Naiinspire po talaga eko sa mga nakakapunta na sa US. I am taking my NCLEX na pero unfortunately di ka pa maipasa pasa. 😒 Lagi ko na nga tinatanong ang sarili ko kung para ba ako sa US. Pero dahil sa mga vlogs mo naiinspire ako na ilaban lang to ng ilaban. Naumpisahan ko na, ngayon pa ba ako susuko. Thank you for being an inspiration and pushing us fellow nurses to fight for this dream.

[@NursePhotographer]

Shaiaquero, baka that's one way of the universe testing you kung GUSTONG GUSTONG GUSTO mo ba talaga makapunta sa US. Una hindi ibibigay sayo then susubukan mo ulit then boom they will give it to you na! Minsan may mga challenges tayo na hindi natin maisip kung bakit natin na experience pero pag nalagpasan na natin.... looking back, makikita natin... we can connect the dots why we faced those kind of challenges. Good luck on your next exam. Don't you quit! Don't let us down! LEZ GO!

[@robienillosistoso628]

It can be disappointing to fail. Pls remember winners don’t quit! This setback doesn’t define your future American dream. Keep pushing - wishing you the best of success for your NCLEX 🙏🙌💕

[@Guzman_Family_Vlogs]

🇺🇸💲 Enjoyed the detailed storytelling. Totoo, enjoy ko hangga’t di ka pa nagsisimula mag work. Naaalala ko yung bagong dating ako ng US pag nakakarinig ako ng ganitong kwento hehe. We arrived minth of November, sobrang lamig tapos sarap buhay during the first few weeks 😂. If you don’t mind mw asking, kelan start mo sa SNF? How many years contract? Unang trabaho ko sa SNF din, naka 10yrs din ako dun. Looking forward sa SNF nuring experience mo. Curious if mine is the same there in AZ. Good luck!

[@NursePhotographer]

Yo Guzman Family! Ganda ng content niyo bro! Would love to have you in the podcast! Anyway, kahapon first day high and 2 years contract. Solid mo pre 10 years! Magaling preceptor ko, lahat organize kaya smooth sailing kami sa pinaka toxic na hall sa work place ko. Hope to collab with you soon sir!

[@Guzman_Family_Vlogs]

@@NursePhotographer Nahiya na tuloy ako tumanggi 😅. But I’m sure you will be busy and overwhelm sa bagong trabaho. Pag naka adjust ka na cguro dyan sa SNF, parang mas masarap pag usapan yan, baka ikaw pa ma interview ko sa podcast mo 😂. I’m sure marami mkaka relate. I’m glad youre getting a good orientation at magaling preceptor mo. Dati sakin, 1 day lang tapos mag isa nako, mag tanong na lang daw ako pag may hindi ako alam 😅. Good luck!

[@Nursegermz]

Ibang iba na accent ah sa Toronto at Santa Monica…hahahah Welcome and enjoy. Naalala ko rin tuloy ung first few weeks dito sa USA💪💯🇺🇸🤑

[@NursePhotographer]

Hello Germz! Practice practice lol!

[@jelstv3414]

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 thanks you sir sa informative na mga videos mo. Isa ka sa mga inspiration ko para mag decide na mag nclex at hopefully bumalik sa nursing profession. God Bless po sa inyo.

[@NursePhotographer]

Bumalik lang rin ako. Goodluck! Mahirap iwanan yung industry kung San ka galing lalo na pag kilala ka na talagang malaking sakripisyo pero hopefully magawa mo rin ang mga gusto mo in the future and at the same time practice nursing.

I’m visiting Ireland soon, can you please share the place to visit first ❤️ ty

[@jessaamortangonan5988]

Sir Dan!!! Congratulations naman! I have been following your videos since nung journey mo. Masarap talaga sa pakiramdam yung may mga kamag anak ka ng pwede mong maasahan. (nakakatuwa naman DON niyo) For us na wala, I think my mga filipino community naman talga na being hospitable talaga para sa ating mga kapwa pinoy. So ito na nga ang question ko, hahaha! Sir, I'm thinking kasi na instead of luggage eh balik bayan box nalang yung ibang lagayan ng mga gamit namin, practical lang ba? Narinig ko kasi sa recording mo na, "maleta and balikbayan box", can you share naman po how did you pack your gamit at ano yung mga Top 5 mo na gamit na tingin mong dapat na dala from here in PH to USA. Thank you sir

[@NursePhotographer]

Yeap! Literal balikbayan box, good thing it after ng byahe pwede na itapon yung box so tipid spce sa apartment! Gawa nga ako content nyan.

[@jessaamortangonan5988]

@@NursePhotographer yey!! Sige nga sir! Thanks sir Dan! Kasi baka nga isang beses lang gamitin maleta kaya sayang din naman pambili.. pambili mo nalang ng mga pwedeng idala like gamot or even mga abasotong food. Hintayin ko sir new vlog mo.

hi..when you said "balikbayan box" is it literal na balikbayan box po yung dala mo as checkin baggage? because im contemplating of using a "balikbayan box" in liue of luggage na mabigat

[@NursePhotographer]

Yeap literally balikbayan box na Php 700-300 pesos. Huge space and when you arrive in America , you just throw it away = no more space in your apartment!
