All of our Filipino Nurses have a BSN Degree (4-year) from an accredited nursing school.  the nursing schools in the Philippines utilize a US-based curriculum.  While experience levels range from recent graduates to over 15 years, the average nursing candidate has approximately three (3) years of experience.  We guarantee that we will select only those candidates with two (2) or more years of clinical working experience. 

Many Filipino nursing candidates have work experience in recognized teaching hospitals in Manila ranging from 300 - 1,000 bed capacities.  Community hospitals range from 50 - 150 bed capacities.  Filipino nurses from these hospitals serve a variety of patients including:

PHYSICAL THERAPISTS
All of our Filipino Physical Therapists have a B. S. Degree in Physical Therapy.  The program is a five year program consisting of two years of general education, two years of physical therapy subjects and a final year of internship with research/thesis.  Some schools require physical therapy students to complete a full 12 month internship while other schools require only 10 months.  Internships require students to fulfill clinical affiliations with hospitals, outpatient clinics, and other healthcare facilities.  Once the student graduates the BSPT program, they must pass a national licensure exam administered by the Professional Regulation Commission.  Those who pass the exam become licensed Physical Therapists.  Cirrus requires all Physical Therapists to have a minimum of two (2) of years clinical work experience before arrival in the US.
