First of all, I want to thank God for all the opportunities He had given me. To Health Carousel’s staff from my IDA, Ms. Liza, to Ms. Connie, thank you for your hard work and for keeping up with my persistent attitude and inquiries about updates regarding my case. Thank you for helping me reach this moment that seems impossible at first but due to your never-ending words of encouragement and persistence made this dream a reality.
The recruitment process was straightforward. When I emailed my first inquiry last 2015 regarding the application, the response that I received was quick. I was encouraged to sign up after learning the ease of application. Documents were all sent online; the initial interview was done through the phone; all correspondence was carried out through emails. All these combined saved time, money and resources.
The consistent communication with the PA is helpful
I joined Health Carousel Philippines in February 2015. From then on, it was a smooth sailing process as the processing associates made sure that I was well informed of the progress of the application and all the necessary documents are up to date. Overall, I am full of gratitude and very satisfied with how Health Carousel helped me in achieving my goal of working as a registered nurse in the US. I would like to thank all the processing associates Liza, Efraim, Michael, Marianne, Roda, to my International Deployment Advisor Lenci and to Ms. Nyra Colinares for all the guidance and support. To my fellow aspiring nurses, never give up. Believe you deserve what you’ve always dreamed of, work hard, be patient and the universe will serve it.
The Transition-to-Practice program is a very innovative interactive education module that offers a great deal of information needed to equip the learner with the necessary knowledge and skills regarding a particular topic. It has a set of learning objectives, a Pre-test and a Post-test that will evaluate right away the user’s learning progress. As for me, the topics are very helpful and relevant to the scope of my work and at the same time gives me additional insight as to the recommended standards of practice in order to become an efficient and successful nurse in the United States. The training module is easy to use and it also gives you a certain deadline to complete the topics so you can manage your time properly. Moreover, it gives reminders regarding some unfinished topics so you are assured that you will be able to keep track of your progress. I highly recommend this online course as it is highly educational. A big thumbs up!
At first, I was anxious because there were so many topics to be reviewed. However, when I was going through the modules, it made me realize that the lessons were really helpful in transitioning to the US. Although it was time-consuming, it was really worth getting through it. The coaches were also helpful because they guided me all throughout and reminded of the areas that I missed to touch.
I found it really important to be able to complete the training modules because it covered topics that were useful in practicing nursing as a whole. It included ways of taking care of oneself despite the busy schedule and most especially in being able to adjust in the US healthcare setting.
It took me 7 weeks to be able to complete all the 9 modules because I had other things to accomplish also. However, I liked the flexibility of accessing the training materials, I was able to sign in to my account anytime I want to and especially when I’m in the mood for review.
I would definitely recommend the training to other candidates, because it contributes to self-awareness, and boosts one’s confidence. I’m sure this will be beneficial for them too.
Now that I’ve finished the training sessions, I feel a lot more secure. When you know what to do or where to seek help, you’ll gain more confidence.
My first attempt to join Health Carousel was back in 2013. At that time, I did not have any extensive clinical experience and just recently passed the NCLEX. Needless to say, my application was declined. I went to work in a BPO setting for a while. Arrived 4th quarter of 2015, a colleague of mine shared a very positive news that HCLLC is already accepting applicants with volunteer experience, at least. I signed the contract before the end of 2015 and accomplished all the requirements with all my concerns. From the time of my petition was approved until my embassy interview, Health Carousel especially my advisor, Raissa, assisted me efficiently. I can honestly say that without the guidance of HCLLC and Raissa, for going beyond her means, for being patient and considerate during the course of the journey. Thank you!
To my fellow RNs and other allied health professionals, take the first step to achieve your American Dream – join us and become part of Health Carousel Family.
“I joined Health Carousel in January 2015. My processing associate was Karen and it was a smooth process. I was transferred from one advisor to another as my application progressed. The advisors coordinate well with nurses. To nurses, be aggressive in processing your papers!
All in all, thank you Health Carousel!”
I never thought I would make it this far, a wonderful blessing and an opportunity in life. It started with a dream of having a successful career as a physical therapist and giving my family a better future. One step at a time and with some ups and downs, Health Carousel has guided me and helped me in reaching my dream. They have been very supportive in every step on the way to success. And I am so grateful to them now that my family and I will be living a better life in the USA. I encourage all PTs like me to trust in God’s plan and people who will help you and you will reach your dream.
First and foremost, I want to thank God for this great opportunity that was given to me to work in the US. He always surprises me on His own special way. I also want to thank my family, friends and loved ones who are always there to push me to reach my dreams and goal to work in the US.
I joined Health Carousel Philippines in December 2016. I thank God that the process was worth the long wait. Health Carousel is always updating me on my status. I want to thank my advisor on her guidance on my application and on always answering all my inquiries regarding my application.
To all my fellow MTs, don’t give up on your dream to work in the US. When you get tired, just rest but NEVER GIVE UP. Be still and trust the perfect time by God.
I was referred by my friend, who is also an applicant in Health Carousel to start my US application. So on April 2016 after passing IELTS, I immediately emailed the email address which my friend gave. Continue reading
