A8 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, June 4, 2003 Filipino nurses remain on hospital MILLS MEMORIAL Hospital's long- standing campaign to bring in Filipino nurses working in Libya continues, says its nursing director. The effort began three years ago and nursing director Marg Petrick estimates” there’s at least another year to go. Two of the original group of five nurses have since gone on to other things, but the three who are left are still keen to come, she said. “When you really need nurses, you hang on to what you find,” said Petrick of the long-standing campaign. It began when a medical headhunter came across the group who expressed an interest in leaving Libya. That headhunter began working with Mills but then dropped out of the picture, leaving the hospital oul of contact with its prospective employees. recruit list “They still wanted to come,” said Pet- rick, . A sister of one of the nurses who lives in the United States phoned Mills and asked what was going on. “Fhey had the idea we weren't inter- ested anymore, but that was hardly the case,” said Petrick. Since then Mills has been slowly working by itself to clear immigration and credential hurdles. One complication arose when the nurs- es could ‘not find anybody in Libya to ad- minister an English language proficiency exam. That was overcome and the task is now to wind their way through paperwork, said Petrick, She did note that the process has taken .. too long in spite of recent moves to ease up on paperwork requirements.
