True, and other countries pay better too.

Agree

Hello mate,might try Australia 🇦🇺, ask your other Nurses friends to apply here,sana umalis na kayo diyan,kc binabastos kayo diyan sa Finland😢

Well said!

Move to United Kingdom or U.S.A. where Filipino nurses are welcomed.

Thank you very much. Singapore has many professionals from the Philippines, your country knows how to choose the right workers.

Exactly!

@pearldans5640, yes you are right racism is everywhere but it does not mean you will tolerate the way those Fins to be looking down on pinoy nurses. I have lived in 3 different countries Middle East, Canada and now in the US and had worked in a bank, airline and hospital in the administrative level, modesty aside I have never experienced being seen or treated differently, because I speak my mind. No one in my 40 years overseas work experience have I encountered a co-worker or out of my workplace said to my face or commented negatively just because I'm from the Philippines. Perhaps behind my back maybe. I have a number of situations where I stood up for myself even at a younger age, first was in UAE, the General Manager of the Bank I worked, who happened to be an Englishman from Yorkshire when I overheard him mocking on a housemaid he spoke on the phone and he presumed a pinay, after he hung the phone I confronted him and said "excuse me sir, not all Filipinas does not know English or could not speak, how on earth did you know the person you spoke with was from the Philippines". Guess what, he apologized to me because he felt I was so furious about his ignorance, and later found out that the maid he spoke was from India. 2nd situation was two of my officemates British, an Auditor and the other Plant Engineer, that whenever I pass by they were looking at my legs and swamping me with their paperworks, so what I did to give them heck of their lives, I went and talk directly to our Regional Director and both were reprimanded and from then on they're afraid to give me paperworks and quit looking at my legs avoiding me. 3rd scenario, a British secretary of another department who gets more pay than I get despite the fact I was the one who trained her, what I did I approached the bank's CEO (same bank) and said "What does she know that I don't know, in fact I was the one who trained her",,, in an instant my pay $ got revised...4th scenario, a German Canadian lady about 5'8" tall and I am 4'11", she's a Lab Tech who tried to shut me up not wanting me to ask her about work, I raised my voice at her and said "so what?" and the next day I complained to her Supervisor, a few days later she became nice to me...and I have more scenarios but I might run out of space to type on. What I am saying is, it does not matter who they are where they came from, they are just like us who eats, poops, burp, fart etc...why would you let them belittle us. You are right, we adjust by learning their language but never let your guard down and let them do and say anything that may offend us. In my opinion, if its their country who sought help by hiring foreign nurses, then it is the responsibility of their government or their hospital administration to educate their people that the world does not evolve with their own only, if you open your door to someone it means you accept whatever they bring along with them. simple as that.

Nowhere in my statement did I state Filipinos should tolerate racism, did I? I only said that racism is everywhere. It is the world we live in. As a matter of fact, you enumerated numerous instances from your personal experience which only further supported my premise above which is that EVERYWHERE YOU GO YOU WILL ENCOUNTER RACISM. Pero nasa applicante na yan, if they allow that to hinder their dreams of living and working abroad. READING COMPREHENSION PO. Mema lang eh.

Filipinos can't speak their language? Filipinos can't speak English? How did they get to Finland without knowing how to communicate? Can they speak Tagalog, Bisaya, Ilonggo, Ilocano, Chavacano, Karay-a, etc.😂😂😂😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉😅😅😅

The only way to solve the problem Search the problem then find the solution What. About the Administration Dont the offer orientation Filipinos should unite because in unity there is strength That is one of our Weakness, No unity in the work place for fear of the unknown Then don't go to Finland

Korek!! I couldn’t agree with you more! Mga kauri nga nilang iba mga walang silbi sa lipunan, tayong mga dayo ang nagtatrabaho

Pinoy nurses the best

Sa Finland po? :(

@@happysolitudetv oo

​@@Finnspirationalsa totoo lang jackpot sila sa Pinoy, magagaling din silang mag English kaya dapat walang issue o dapat maliit lang. Pero todo recruit sila ng Burmese nurses at students para di magsara mga schools nila na maliliit ang population.

Sadly,it will scores for that to happen.Dami bobotante sa atin.Yung artista ang nagiging pinuno kaya ang gobyerno madrama.

First, you should see that NO VIDEOS LIKE THIS EXIST. Second, we do not look for work ABROAD.

Thank you very much for your comment. We are indeed capable. The shortage of nurses is a global problem. I hope each nation’s government finds a sensible solution.

The question is, is there any other solution? This is a labor shortage that isn't available locally! If their concern is be able to communicate in local language immediately, then they should follow Japan's solution.

@@LarryfromPH thank you for commentibg. There is a solution, that is to make recruitment agencies to be more strict with their language requirements and conduct language courses for the nurses they hired once they are here in Finland. I am curious about what Japan does I have to look into that.

@@LarryfromPH I also would love to hear which actions have been made to solve the language problems. I heard that Sweden also is hiring Filipino nurses, and they already offer swedish language in the Philippines, specifically in Baguio, for interested Filipino nurses.

@@Finnspirational thank you for raising this issue❣️You are an inspiration to other Filipinos, who aspire to work in non-english speaking countries. As for Denmark, there are many Filipinos with nursing degrees, who came to work here first as “au pairs”, then later married there danish man. It is one of the solutions the parliament has taken, but it is taking quite some time now to process. No definite solution yet.

Thank you so much for watching and for your nice words. When I came here I didn't plan to work as a nurse, but I guess it's really my destiny.

She does speak almost like a native

@@jsigur157 kiitos

Wow! You speak fluent Finnish, not to mention English. Thank you for speaking on behalf of your fellow countrymen. Our Pinoy nurses work in so many countries they rely on them because they're efficient and competent. That's why I find it hard to believe your host country who are known to be one of the happiest nations say otherwise. Filipinos are quick learners in learning a new language and that is why they are able to work in non English-speaking countries.

@@lermadonnachie735 I really appreciate your comment. My mother instilled in us the importance of education. I guess that’s what makes me strive to gain fluency in the languages that I study. I keep in mind that whatever I learn, may it be a language or a skill, can never ever be stolen from me, and I can benefit from it one way or another. Thanks for subscribing and commenting❤️

Hi. Thank you for your comment. Foreign workers are paid at the same rate, however for nurses they do not get to work as registered nurses. Some are hired as hoiva-avustaja while studying to be a lähihoitaja. So for those who studied for a 4-year AMK degree in the Philippines, they will be paid less than they deserve unless they will attend a pätevöitymiskoulutus. I don’t know if the recruitment agencies give their applicants that option.

@ferdinandzosa5740 Thanks for your heartfelt message! I am grateful for your appreciation of the Filipino nurses. 🇵🇭❤️

Hindi talaga. They should make the nursing profession more inviting to their newer generation if they solely want their own kind to take care of them. Or they should perfect robotics for health care.

Thank you, kabayan. I appreciate your nice words

Maraming salamat❤️

Thank you very much for the kind words.

Thanks for your comment. It is really unfortunate. I’ve heard that recruitment agencies provide online language courses for 6 -8 months which is not enough in my opinion.

Exactly 👍

I strongly agree with you that it is the happiest for Finns for people who are from outside this country it may be another story.

There are Finnish Gypsies there and are highly discriminated against. They only love their fellow Finnish blood.

@@Finnspirational They're probably have the people who are most comfortable in life as a whole compared to the world so that makes them think they are happiest people in the world but the outward expressions of joy such as smiles, laughter, or others being absent or sparing says different. Being comfortable does not mean you are happy, you just believe this is as good as it gets.

@@rap3208 you are absolutely right. I am comfortable and contented here as well. It's a safe place to live, nature is beautiful, transactions in government offices are seamless.

​@@Finnspirational Had I not lived in Sweden from the start, I would have chosen to have immigrated to Finland instead of Sweden. I think when they say "the happiest" it does not mean feeling funny. I think it means "the Most Comfortable Life to Live."

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.

Thank you very much. @ronberi here’s a link to one of the articles: m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0jE42d8guKqXUHiL86Ye2x3dnoPA8BKw1GKL4K8PCPpayufLHroYjRQBzceJJiydXl&id=48859861462

Finnish is a finno-urgic language, and therefore one of the few non-indoeuropean languages in Europe. So it will be more difficult for English speakers (such as filipinos) to learn than German, Spanish etc. That said, I'd swap a little language fluency for a kind respectful nature, any day. I'm speaking both as a patient and a workmate of Filipino nurses. Sadly other nurses sometimes mistake kindness for weakness.

"Mutta se ei ole mahdotonta oppia sitä" is not correct Finnish, but has an English structure"se ei ole" or "it is not". To say that correctly in Finnish the sentence should simply be "Mutta ei ole mahdotonta oppia sitä". Finnish grammar is different from what is common in Indo-European languages, and you make exactly the same mistake that is common to Swedish speakers that learn Finnish. This mistake does not make it impossible to understand you, but realizing you can make a mistake of this kind - invent a subject in a sentence where in Finnish there is none - means you can make a mistake that changes the meaning of what you say to something that you did not mean. And then you get an answer to a question that is different from what you thought you were asking, and the chain of misunderstanding starts. Therefore the language barrier is real and you should take it more seriously. Many of the elderly people have not studied any foreign languages and are not comfortable in an environment that is not completely Finnish or Swedish speaking. Even I have sometines a hard time understanding rather complete and technically correct Finnish sentences by foreigners, as they may choose a way of constructing a sentence in a way a Finn would never do. That said no kind of racism is of course not acceptable, although unfortunately it is rather common in Finland. Hate speech is even more common in the internet than in real life, as some of the racists are active racists and spread their message 8 hours a day in the net as if it was their job. Therefore in real life you may encounter less racism, but to some extent you will.

@@sampohonkala4195 Thanks for commenting. Misunderstanding occurs even if 2 people speak the same language. Communication is a 2- way street, one can always clarify what the other person meant. The chain of misunderstanding would immediately end by just simply clarifying. I am not taking language barrier lightly, I am actually encouraging people to learn Finnish if they choose to work here.

@@Finnspirational I work in an office where roughly 30% of the staff are foreigners. In most teams the working language is therefore English. There are two British and two American workers but for most English is a second or third language. I can ensure that the risk of misunderstanding is multiple times grater than when working in Finnish, although all have a master's degree and several years of experience working in Finland, and generally speak good English. But of course it is possible to succeed and in many jobs the language is not the most important part - if it was we would not hire foreigners at our office.

Thanks. In this case I think it’s just plain racism and ignorance.

​@@Finnspirationalthere are many racist and xenophobic finns unfortunately.

@@Error-pd5gi that’s true.

Right. I don't intend to please everybody. I just can't stand people who disrespect others.

Finns usually speak 3 languages( finnish,english and swedish),but choose to use only 2!finnish and english or finnish and swedish

Thank you very much for dropping by!

Thank you very much. Sending you warm greetings from cold Finland🍁🍂

Thanks for watching and commenting. Nice to know that others have the same experience on learning a language which is totally different from tagalog. Sending you warm greetings from cold Finland.

Exactly.that's why they need to be tolerant and understanding.Filipinos are naturally linguist. We easily learn languages but it would take a while. Or maybe it shd be the other way around.Why not employers do the learning of Filipino(depends if tagalog, cebuano, ilongo,ilocano, kapampangan,bicol, whahahaha) Seriously,so they can better communicate and translate instructions, anyway they are the ones in need of workers:nurses. Better yet, learn english, Filipinos understand english waaayy better than finnish language. Nurses thrive in English speaking countries. The better question is, why were they deployed there in the first place and hired at that when they know these nurses will have difficulty with regards to instruction.😏😒🤨

@@peachesa.5654 Thanks for commenting. They are deployed thru agencies and supposed to have knowledge of Finnish language already, but it seems that their proficiency is not enough.

So they will reply back to you, if so, if You care about others before yourselves”, why did you leave your country people who needed you? It will only make them doubt you more because it sounded from your statement that you care more about the people abroad than that of your own countrymen. What kind of justification is that??

When nurses are shorted in my country, there's what called "Bayanihan", that means family members can step in and fill the gap of a nurse and other obligation to the patient, so the nurse can unload a little bit of a burden on taking care of so many patient. Filipinos are resilient and creative in many ways when it comes to caring humanity. It is not justification but rather how to be a humanitarian in many ways. Filipinos are unique when it comes to caring a fellow human being. In the Philippines, rarely you will see a nursing home and nobody dies alone unlike in many other countries.

@uhrrrrangels I moved to Finland for personal reasons. Back then I didn't know that I would end up practicing my nursing profession. We all have the right to choose our own paths and shouldn't be judged for our choices. I don't care if they doubt me as long as I am doing my job.

One thing that I've observed to some Filipino workers overseas is that they talked about kung gaano sila kahirap sa Pilipinas kaya sila nag-abroad para kumita ng mas malaking pera. Hindi nila alam na yung salita nila na yun ay magagamit against them, so hindi maganda ang paawa-awa na pananalita,dahil nga gagamitin nila yun para humamak sa mga Pilipino in general.

Global outlook, you mean, not wanting to assimilate to the local language and culture? 😂

@@kzm-cb5mr Actually these Filipinos assimilate very well. They are all over the world and they are not trying to change the system. They add to it instead. An recent example is despite Israel's current woes their government took the time to thank the various Filipinos working there because amidst the chaos the Fil nurses stood by their patients side and chose not to leave. That is dedication.

You should read history then,as finland was once part of sweden and the finns werent treated nicely so that swedish language is kind of spit on your face when someone talks it...

Hi. Thanks for your comment. Recruitment agencies shoulder the expenses for the finnish language course. But it seems that it is not enough, Finnish language is not easy to learn. I often say that if a nurse has the option to work in an English-speaking country, then by all means go for it. It is impossible to do nursing care without proficiency in the language that your patient speaks.

@@Finnspirational You know in Japan, there is a device used to translate English words into Japanese. You speak English words on that device and it will translate and speak out the words in Japanese. Finland could have acquired the same technology from Japan to solve this language barrier among foreign workers.

@@nicknock4091 Thanks for the info. I love Japan and everything about that country. One solution is to make the nursing profession in Finland more appealing to its own citizens. The basic salary of nurses in Finland is almost the same if not even lower than that of truck drivers'. So go figure :-) Some maybe actuallu have the passion for healthcare, but migrate to other countries for a better pay.
