- Massive US Recruitment Of Indian Nurses
By Babu Ghanta

-
- It is a new trend that will miniscule all other trends
seen before.
-
- The overseas placement agencies claim that there is an
estimated shortage of nearly 2.5 lakh nurses in hospitals across the US
and hence they are now wooing qualified Indian nurses to relocate to the
land of the greenback.
-
- The nurses can make $5000 per month and up. There are
companies that bring in Indian nurses with green card.
-
- The aging baby boomers of America provide the bonanza
of jobs for the Indian nurse. According to sources this is just the tip
of the iceberg. The actual wave in 2010 will be so big that no one really
can imagine the same now.

fired.

- Job Destruction Newsletter

-
- School districts all over the United States are actively
recruiting foreign teachers for our schools. In this case, Filipino math
and science teachers on H-1B visas have just arrived in Nevada.
-
- I have talked to many engineers and programmers that
have been unable to get teaching jobs in math and science, despite the
fact that they went back to school to get education degrees. Despite the
growing number of desperate unemployed high-tech workers states like Nevada
still claim there is a shortage of these types of teachers. This is just
another cruel insult to the growing number of highly-educated professionals
that can't find meaningful work.

51 New Clark County Teachers Arrive From Phillipines
By Antonio Planas
Las Vegas Review-Journal
8-3-5
-
- Elvira Ocamia had never traveled outside her native country
before making the 7,000-mile trip from the Philippines to Las Vegas.
-
- Ocamia, 56, is one of 51 teachers who will be working
under a temporary visa in the Clark County School District for the next
three years.
-
- Most of those teachers landed at McCarran International
Airport on Sunday, leaving behind family and friends.
-
- Ocamia is no exception. She will be without her eight
children and husband of 36 years.
-
- "I have a great emotional attachment to my family,"
Ocamia said while attending an orientation event Monday with her colleagues
at Nova Southeastern University. "But I made up my mind to be strong
and overcome it."
-
- The Filipino teachers were recruited in February to fill
vacancies in high-need areas such as math, science and special education.
The recruitment of foreign teachers will only put a slight dent in the
district's teacher shortage, which currently is more than 400 teachers
who will have to be replaced by substitutes.
-
- JoAnne Schlekewy, director of licensed personnel in charge
of recruiting, said the teachers from the Philippines will be paid according
to the district's salary scale, with instructors who have multiple degrees
and advanced college credits making more than those with a bachelor's degree.
-
- Ocamia said she will earn about $36,000 annually.
-
- She has a master's degree in special education and a
doctorate in educational management. She will be teaching English to special
education students at Clark High School.
-
- In her hometown of Dipolog -- a rural community of rice
and coconut farmers -- Ocamia earned about $4,000 a year as principal of
a school with 700 students.
-
- She said her community was impoverished with class sizes
up to 60 students and only one book available for every five students.
-
- "Students had to sit on dilapidated desks. We only
had one computer in the school," Ocamia said.
-
- Other Filipino teachers said they worked in similar conditions.
-
- Elmer Potes, 34, taught high school math in Manila, the
nation's capital.
-
- Potes said his school also was overcrowded, with class
sizes pushing 60 students and not enough classrooms to accommodate them.
-
- Potes said he will earn the district's starting salary
of just more than $28,000. He earned about $4,000 a year in Manila.
-
- Potes, who will teach math at Eldorado High School, said
one of his biggest concerns is dealing with unruly students.
-
- "I have to be tough," Potes said. "There
has to be a mutual respect. They have to know that I'm the teacher and
they're the students."
-
- Potes also said he's afraid that his broken English and
thick accent will be difficult for some students to understand.
-
- But he said he will easily adapt to some aspects of U.S.
culture.
-
- "I love American food," he said. "I love
pizza. I love hamburgers. We have McDonald's in the Philippines."
-
- Other Filipinos said they didn't know much about Las
Vegas except what they've seen on television and the Internet.
-
- "This is a city of entertainment and fun,"
said Maria Opeqa. "This is a city where boxing aficionados go."
-
- Opeqa was an associate professor of biology in her hometown.
-
- She has a bachelor's degree in plant pathology, and a
master's degree in educational technology.
-
- Opeqa also said she completed a professional program
to teach special education students.
-
- She will begin teaching at Mack Middle School in late
August.
-
- Schlekewy said that some teachers will live with family
members. Others will be housed by Las Vegas Filipinos and some will be
put up in apartments.
-
- "The most rewarding thing is to be able to see them
here," she said. "It's exciting when you see their excitement."
-
- Potes said he and other Filipino teachers must be up
for the task.
-
- "We have to make a very good impression. ... I have
to make a very good impression," he said. "This is for my children."

- When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually
to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous
and its speaker a raving lunatic. -- Dresden James
