Be wary of the RN contract trap

Be wary of the RN contract trap
-- ATTY. ROBERT REEVES, OFW GUIDE

For many foreign nurses (RNs) the chance to immigrate to the US is the opportunity of a life time. For so many, immigrating to the US is the reason they went to nursing school and took up the profession. Many others, such as marketing majors, physicians, computer engineers, etc. have switched professions to become nurses in order to immigrate to the US.

The shortage spurred the growth and creation of hybrid industries such as nurse registries and temporary nursing staff companies. These types of companies assign nurses on a temporary basis with their client hospitals, medical facilities, and private homes.

A nurse working for one of these companies for example, might find herself working at Hospital A for 2 days out of the week and Hospital B for 3 days. Then, a few months later, working 4 days for Hospital C. The RN goes wherever her employer has been contracted to provide services. She is not an employee of the hospital, but rather the registry company.

Because of the shortage, various RN employers (hospitals, agencies, RN staffing companies) heavily recruit for RNs overseas. Foreign RNs who wish to immigrate are delighted at the opportunity the recruiters offer and are often all too eager to sign up.

While this path may be one of the easiest ways to immigrate, it is not without its pitfalls. Employment-based sponsorship means the RN will be allowed to immigrate if the RN intends to work on a permanent basis for the petitioning employer. This is a critical condition of immigrating that carries consequences if not fulfilled.

During the typical recruitment process, the RNs are promised sponsorship in exchange for working for the employer. Contracts are prepared and representations are made regarding the nature of work, type of work, place of work, working conditions and wages. Many RNs are so eager to immigrate, they do not carefully read these contractual documents, ask serious questions regarding the terms and conditions, or have the contracts reviewed by their own attorney.

In the excitement of the prospect of immigrating to the US many RNs are seduced with the notion that the dream job awaits them in the US. For some this is true, but for many, it has drastic consequences. The RNs gloss over the contracts and assume an attitude of, "I’ll deal with it later."

The most common contractual clause that wreaks havoc on an immigrating RN’s life is the breach of contract damages clause. Most contracts typically require the RN to work for a specific number of years and failure to do so triggers the damages clause. The damages can range from $15,00 to $50,000 dollars!

Many RNs signing these contracts are unfamiliar with the litigious culture in the U.S. Some come to the U.S. and find the working conditions and salaries they were told they would receive are not the same as represented when first recruited. Some conditions are so unbearable.

For example, being placed in graveyard shifts in hospitals far from home. Or, not being placed in any hospital and collecting no salary while the sponsor tries to obtain a new client for the RNs placement. Many of these RNs then leave their employers and this is when additional tragedy strikes.

The employer begins a campaign of harassment and may sue for breach of contract and obtains a judgment against the RN for the penalty amount. The judgment typically comes with a wage garnishment order. This means the RN’s new employer is required to pay a portion of the RN’s wages to the sponsor to cover the judgment. Because RNs are in a licensed occupation requiring a reporting of where they work, it is very simple for the sponsor to locate the RN and exact the judgment.

But, worse than a breach of contract is the possible immigration consequence. The RN has obtained permanent residency because she stated she intends to work on a permanent basis for her sponsor. By leaving or changing employers shortly after entering the U.S., she has now opened the door for the Immigration Service to revoke the green card! Some employers immediately notify the Immigration Service when an RN leaves exposing the RN to possible green card revocation and deportation.

For many others, the immigration consequence comes several years later when the RN is applying for U.S. citizenship. The Immigration Service reviews the basis of the green card and determines how long the RN worked for her sponsor. If it determines that the RN has only worked for a short period of time, it may begin revocation and deportation proceedings against both the RN and her family members who obtained green cards through her.

These tragic consequences can be avoided by careful review in the beginning. For many of those currently in the position, there is still immigration and contractual relief available. The U.S. Constitution prohibits slavery and indentured servitude and because in many cases the sponsoring employer breaches the contract, the employee is not liable for any damages. This core constitutional value is the basis for providing relief to those forced to leave their sponsors. This will be the subject of our second part of this article.

PAVING THE PATH OF GOOD GOVERNANCE: AN UPDATE ON THE NURSING ROADMAP

What’s new in the Nursing Roadmap? How is Road mapping an adaptive and proactive means to create the future of Philippine Nursing to be globally competitive?

With the nursing profession’s vision of becoming the lead in promoting Philippine Nursing in the Asia Pacific Region by 2030, five strategic themes and four perspectives set the framework of the Balance Scorecard (BSC) that will determine the outcome measures that will have to be achieved. The five strategic themes are: Dynamic Leadership, Service Excellence, Operational Excellence, Strategic Partnerships and Social Responsibility. The performance of the nursing profession shall be measured across four balanced perspectives namely: Learning and Growth, Internal Processes, Customer and Financial Perspectives. These are the key areas of the nursing profession into which objectives naturally fit.
The crafting of the Nursing Roadmap is a continuing work in progress participated in by three (3) clusters of organizations, namely: the Philippine Nurses Association (PNA) as the accredited professional organization, the nursing specialty organizations and nursing interest groups. The nursing profession’s charter statement, i.e., mission, vision and values, shall be the banner, we, Filipino nurses shall hold together.

In 2007, the Board of Nursing and representatives from nursing practice, education and nursing welfare formed the Coordinating Body for Good Governance of the Nursing Profession (CBGGN) and together with 16 nursing organizations committed to work together to uplift the status of Philippine nursing. With the Board of Nursing taking the lead, the nursing profession through the CBGGNP, enrolled in the Institute for Solidarity in Asia (ISA) Public Governance System (PGS) Program and earned the recognition of “PGS Compliant” for following the public governance system process in August 2007.

The CBGGNP struggled in its efforts to create a comprehensive strategic plan. Concerns on organizational structure, administrative matters and logistics needed to be seriously addressed. As more questions were raised, the CBGGNP acknowledged the need for more guidance and decided to consult on the process of roadmapping. This would necessitate a formal engagement with ISA as the consultant on strategy development and execution. A Series of meetings, discussions and exploratory talks with ISA ensued.

ISA would provide the technology to process the strategy which is based on the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) framework and customize the process to ensure that it captures all the feasible and workable strategies that the nursing profession wishes to undertake. The Roadmap and the BSC is for the entire nursing profession to integrate and cascade the information and strategies to all stakeholders through alignment and subsidiary scorecards. Because this work is of great magnitude affecting the present and the future of the nursing profession in the Philippines, it will necessitate the creation of an Office of Strategy Management.

The main product of the roadmapping process is the “Good Governance Pathway”. As such, the Nursing Profession would need to progress in the public governance pathway from “Compliant” to “Proficient” status. To achieve this goal and assist the nursing profession in this journey would entail the formal engagement of ISA as consultant of the nursing sector for it to audit, assess and intervene in accordance with the Nursing Roadmap and the strategies that the profession decides to undertake.

The engagement proposal and its details will be presented and discussed with the nursing organizations to ensure full involvement, participation and ownership of the Nursing Roadmap by the whole nursing profession – now and in the future, even beyond 2030.

If all nurses, as stakeholders, take on the commitment now, is there a certainty that future nursing leadership will do the same? The Nursing Roadmap addresses this by strengthening a multi-sector coalition that shall share resources, responsibilities and accountabilities which is also a means of guaranteeing commitment. Furthermore, the Nursing Roadmap will propel the profession to work towards institutionalization with a fully functioning Office of Strategy Management which shall regularly monitor the strategic performance of the profession. With the involvement and vigilance of every nurse in safeguarding the integrity and fulfillment of its mission and vision, we have reason to anticipate the success of the Nursing Roadmap 2030!

UNEMPLOYMENT AMONG FILIPINO NURSES CLARIFIED

Several months ago, news of unemployment among Filipino nurses remained afloat with the number reaching up to about 400,000. Statistics from the Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE), particularly on its “Market Trend” analysis, revealed that while unemployment and underemployment is a fact in Philippine Nursing, there is inaccuracy in these reports. The DOLE and the Board of Nursing (BON) acted with dispatch to review available data which revealed that from 1952 to 2008 the country has registered or licensed 480,992 Filipino nurses out of 523,272 who actually passed the Philippine Nurse Licensure Examinations.

According to DOLE data the total number of Filipino nurses employed between October 2001 & 2007 was 58,000 (fifty eight which represented 3.86% of the total employed professional workers (1.5 million) reflected in the National Statistics Office, Labor Force Survey as source of data. However, it is important to consider that there is actually a market slowdown starting

2006, when the demand for Filipino nurses started to plateau as a result of the retrogression in the US market and a change of nursing employment policy in the UK. The previous high demand for Filipino nurse has kept our nursing pool in the country relatively large. Despite the number of nurses reportedly deployed/employed there still is a slow-down in the hiring of newly passed nurses. While this is a fact, the actual unemployment and underemployment figures would only range to about 80,000 and the developments in the international job markets remain to be bright and still promising.

Other data on nursing in the Philippines that are worthy to note are:

1. From 27,833 nursing enrolees recorded in academic year 2000-2001, there was a record high of 453,896 enrolees in academic year 2006-2007 or an annual average growth rate of 62%. (Source of data: CHED)

2. The number of nursing graduates showed an increasing trend for the period 2000– 2005, with 140.5% increase in the number of graduates in SY 2004 - 2005 (Source of data: CHED)

3. From 2001-2008, the number of board examinees was on the rise. The passing rate exhibited a declining trend from a high of 55.8% in 1998 to a low of 45.2% in 2006 or an annual average of 49.5%. In June 2008, the passing rate (43.1%) was lower than the average registered for the period 1998-2007. In addition, 1 out of every 5 colleges of nursing registers a “zero” passing mark, which is indicative of the questionable quality of education and/or decreasing quality of students admitted for the nursing profession. Source of data: PRC

4. From 1998 to June 2008, 224,961 did not pass the Philippines Nurse Licensure Examination. This figure is 32% higher than the 169,766 combined local and foreign demand for nurses. What could be done with this human resources in the country?

5. The migration of “experienced” nurses who are highly skilled (5-15 years) and specialists in their fields of expertise actually creates a vacuum in the local health care delivery system. Most nurses locally employed are new graduates who lack experience and skills which pose serious implications on the quality of health care provided our own countrymen. One of the push factors for migration is the wide discrepancy in the salaries of our nurses employed One of the push factors for migration is the wide discrepancy in the salaries of our nurses employed locally and overseas (US$4,000- US; $700-1,500 in KSA; and US$180-220 in the Philippines)

As the results of the November 2008 Nurse Licensure Examination was released where 39,455 out of 88,649 passed, the challenge now is to put in place real ‘honest to goodness’ measures that will address long standing problems/concerns; measures that are proactive and meant to provide medium and long-term solutions and not temporary band-aid remedies. It is to be emphasized that the data listed above impacts not only the economic life of the nurses but the health and well-being of the country as well.

A vigilant watch on the current global economic conditions and the responses of host economies will help prepare us as Filipino OFW nurses get affected by the global economic crises. Now is the time for all Filipino nurses to close ranks and consider contingency measures for the collective good of the nursing sector to cushion the effects of the said global economic crisis which will definitely impact the Filipino nurses, their families, and the country as a whole.
