@alexamae i don't know..other filipinos in the hospital i work with are cleaners, porters aside from nurses (majority) and doctors (kunti lang pinoy doctors in au pero meron naman).
even the medtechs back home are finding it hard to get here.. kasi the phlebotomists here or blood sisters are different from a medical scientist (one who analyze the samples which is trabaho ng medtechs natin pero di credited dito ung medtech degree sa pinas hangang phlebotomist lang ung medtech natin.)
o.t. and p.t. here ma dugo. i have not met one in our hospital. bridging plus may exams sila both written and practical. so bihira lang may pinoy kasi expensive and walang assurance if one can pass both.
nursing aids/ caregivers... certificate course yan or trabaho ng mga nurses na di nag bridging orhindi ielts passer required for registration 7 in all kasi or nursing students. do i recommend you do this? no, kasi it is physically exhausting you will bathe and feed patients talaga who can weigh as much as 100kg to 200kg! true may hoist and lifts..pero still.. if you haven't wipe shit of an obese man before let me tell you it is not pretty sight. pero ok din sometimes if you get a tech aid job which is restocking/ sterilizing equipment lang.
if you are not willing to do the full leg work to be a nurse/ot or pt.. 3 years uni degree. i suggest you stick to what you do best. kasi it will be a more expensive route if you just do part time studies.. ang tagal ma tapos.
just my two cents🙂
