loool.....that nusre Eliza question got me reeeling,....i was wondering how Vicky would answer.......Una too much

Tomsss:
Nigerians we really need to do better tbh. Let's put aside the fact that we are currently on Travel ban,some of y'all working in the US are breaching contracts which is making it difficult for agencies to want to recruit nurses from Nigeria. You are already living your dream doesnt mean you should make it harder for people that want to live theirs too. Do better pleaseee

BlueBeard:

Waoh!!! Do u mind telling us more about the breach of contract? Could it be that they breach it unintentionally? Just bn curious though

Tomsss:



So i messaged avanthealthcare to make enquiries about Nigerians applying through their agency. So apparently i was informed that apart from the travel ban in place stopping them from accepting Nigerians,majority of Nigerian RNs in the US now breach their contracts after 12 months. Due to this reason,they've suspended us from applying until they find tangible reasons on why they breach their contract. This is not fair tbh.We keep shouting our leaders our leaders,is it our leaders that are spoiling our image abroad too? We honestly need to do better

Chief, I'm so sorry to hear that. Take heart
Meanwhile, how about trying another recruiting agency? Abi everything don caste?
I don't think those breaching their contracts are here again. Most nurses I've met here, immediately they get to UK or USA,they don't come here to check if there's any way they can provide answers to other people that are still undergoing the process. They just jakpaa for life

Must you use agents? Save money and self sponsor. 1.5mil max will do for self sponsor. Go to UK 1st and gather money if you don't have upto 1.5mill for self sponsor.
Pass your exams after self sponsorship and same Agents refusing you will beg you to come.

lillaowow:


Someday, you'll realize why people bridge contract. You think the agency love you that much huh?

I'm not saying I'm in support of bridging contract but you'd have to study it from both sides to point fingers.

There is no reason that can justify breaching a contract. Hell,you knew what you are signing up for,you are not expecting it to be all rosy. So if you've agreed to the terms and conditions of a contract the least you could do is adhere to it till the stipulated time. No reason whatsoever justifies breaching a contract.

Tomsss:


Still doesnt justify anything. If you are not going to follow the agreement i dont see any reason travelling then. Instead of blocking the way for other well meaning Nigerians,then stay home. Nothing justifies it. Nothing.

TheArchangel:
Sir, I will be grateful if you can kindly give us the dirts or rundown regarding why our compatriots breach these contracts. I thought It was ironclad and client friendly.
I, personally wouldn't want to get to that point before I understand the reason behind it or it may be too late.

Thanks.

From what I heard , money is a big issue, the agency would pay the nurse a quarter of what the agency is being paid by the hospital. Also working conditions , as a international nurse they going to put you in where they need nurses the most which may not be the best places. I also heard that sometimes Avant does not treat their international nurses right so that could also be another issue.

hammed71:
still, a contract shouldn't be breach, these guys helped you with permanent residency.if they are paying a quarter of what the hospitals pays them. Go online find a way to make money doing side hustles be it IT, online businesses and etc, in fact if you know how to play your cards right you will even be making double of what they are paying. There's this youtuber also a nurse called ' Alphaslice' follow him on YouTube and Instagram to learn.
its just 2years contract, abeg make una no block road for others ooo.I don't want other agencies to follow avant footsteps

TheArchangel:
Wow, a big eye opener, then I don't blame those that opted out if that's the case.
It's just that these agencies are necessary evil that one can't do without. One way or the other, we will always need their helps unless hospitals start hiring directly.
With the US being a very litigious society, I'd think that if there is a breach in contract as they opined, they should've been sue except the nurses paid them off as maybe stipulated in their contract.

[q1uote author=yugotee post=88821573]Hello friends,

I would need your input on this:

I am a double qualified Nurse RN and RPN ready to migrate to UK. My Nursing experience has been in general nursing and not Psychiatric nursing. In the NMC registration for CBT exams should I opt for the Mental Health or Adult/General Nursing.

What is the flow for Mental Health CBT as well as Adult Nursing CBT? I would appreciate if I can get study materials for both so as to make up my mind asap. Please send the cbt study materials to yugoberryt@gmail.com. Thank you..

vickyehi:

To answer your question, a phd in nursing from the moon wont change the basic process as an international nurse in Canada. Truth is that the only education that matters as an international nurse is where you got your basic training. Meaning where you first qualified as a nurse.

With that in mind, I would advice you to keep your sights on the UK and later USA or Australia. For Canada, judging by your wife's experience, it means both of you would be in your 40s or later 30s. Age is a huge factor in the Canadian immigration process. Therefore, your options for relocating to canada would be through a study Visa to maybe come do a masters degree or some provincial nomination programs.

From what you heard? Seriously? All these you're saying are hear-say... No doubt some agents are dubious, but anything to makes you sign the contract, you're obligated to abiding to it to the later. No b by focus to sign contract, imagine these agents jailing people who breach contracts, the same Nigerians would say they're racist.smh! Oga please do better, don't spoil the entrance after you've gained access. That's selfish
