George

Q1. Ibigay mo sa akin ang name, age, birthday? ... So nag-action tong participant background
information sheet na binigay ko, appendix D. So name, pseudonym, di ko alam ba may
pseudonym pero anyway George D. Budis, naminaw ko sa Facebook so okay na yan.
00:43

Q2. Living arrangement? Ano ang family? ... Relatives po sir. For example you live there in the
house of your relatives po. And then ang institution, yan ay pinag-provide ng institution. So
owned and family.
01:32

Q3. Employment status? Ano ang status? ... So I'm based from home to be honest. United
Kingdom na lang. Kasi iba-iba ang work ko. Kasi hindi na ako planning for a first name.
02:32

Q4. Signature mo? Pwede sir, you can just take a picture, kukuha ka ng papel, lalagyan mo ng
name mo, maglagay ka ng signature and you can send it to me through messenger lang po. Q5.
ID? Ano ang ID? Ano ang PRC ID?
03:16

... So you just take a picture for example and just cover the number sa ID niyo as a Filipino nurse
as well as for example a card in UK. I don't know if visa ginagamit niyo po sir? ... Yes. Ito sin
send ko sa iyo kasi I think kailangan, kasi ganito yan, maganda sa akin mo ito ginagawa kasi
pang malalaki hindi ka mabibigyan ang hinihingi mo. Wala kami PRC license card, walang
ganon. Ito ibigay ko sa iyo, yung hinahanap na search the register for free, pin number...
04:16

... Ito yung formal na galing sa NMC. Alam ka, wait, wait, wait. Tama ba? Sabihin mo kung mali
ako, kailangan mo proof na nurse ako dito, tama? Q6. Requirement pa sa mga pag-asam
pumunta? Dito o US?
05:16

... As far as I can remember, yung current yan, hindi required ang pumunta ng PH. Importante na
sin graduate lang. ... So yan, pag dito ang UK register, mag-search ka sa register. Nakita mo yan
March 23 ako nag-qualify sa UK. Tapos dito rin nakalagay kung may restriction ako, practice na
yung nurse may problema sa pag-practice ko. Nakalagay yan.
06:24

Q7. Pag-register ng NMC sa UK, wala na picture ID? ... Hindi ako nag-video. Pakita ko sa iyo.
Tinita mo. Gusto ko talaga pangita. Ayan o. Tinatago ko lang ito kasi nandun pa pin ko. Ayan
yung NMC, wala na siya. Akita mo?
07:16

Q8. Pag-paperless? Dito ang gusto ng mga tao paperless. To be honest katulad halimbawa,
kailangan ko pumunta ng Germany? Pag pumunta ngayon dito, Europe, UK, like kami hindi na
kami humahawak ng cash. Yan ako pumunta sa kanyang nag-video ko ng pira-pira na. So lahat
paperless. Pag-apay na ako ang dapat ko Apple Watch or Google Phone. Kaya wala na ang pira-
pira na may cards per se. Kaya sinasabi ko sa iyo kasi just in case yung susunod ng respondents
if you're trying to find similar thing you might struggle lalo na matatagal.
08:16

So I think the UK government has a strong push for paperless transactions and paperless... has a
huge approach for paperless approach on their dealings or something like that. So when you
search the register, ito susunod ko sa iyo para alam mo na legit kaming nurse. Yan yung link,
yung search the register ng NMC. Tapos ito ang pin ko. Wala namang problem na ibigay yung
pin kasi legit na tayo.
09:18

So you can do that your own. So kung may mameet ka, ang gawin mo nalang kung registered
nurse sila sa UK, hingihan mo lang yung pin. Okay lang ba sabihin mo hingihan namin yung pin
para ilesearch namin yung register. Proof yan na nurse mo kayo. Ay naku, bakit wala yung
pangalan ko sa thesis nyo?
09:53

Ilalagay po namin po sir. Parang atamay na pinagbigay sa iyo. Yes po sir. Maraming salamat po
talaga. Pasensya na talaga po sa abala. So yan, may kailangan pa bang iba? Okay na ba yan?
10:14

I-film ako nalang. Yung additional question ko namin po sir is that... Additional question? Yes
po sir. Additional question? Why do you think... Kasi nabili ka, bakit magsalat ka na lang? Yes
po sir.
10:32

Anong ibig mo sabihin why do you think your experience sa UK nurse helped you? Anong ibig
mo sabihin why what? Why... Why in what sense? Why do you think...
10:49

I'll make this question better for you. Change why to how. Yes po sir. Why do you think your
experience... I think it's much better po sir if gagamitin ang how. How do you think your
experience sa UK nurse helped you?
11:07

In what sense? Saan? In your clinical setting po sir. In clinical setting? Okay. Kasi hindi na ako
non-clinical na ako. But anyway, just to answer yung sabihin ko dyan is...
11:24

The UK opened more opportunities for clinical practice for me compared to the Philippines. In
the UK, there are avenues for specialties and it's much easier to jump across different fields.
11:48

The approach is more... The approach of the Philippines can be compared to the American way.
However, the British practice of nursing is definitely their own.
12:10

And so, I learned the British way. Wow. Amazing. Wow. Maganda yun. Iba yung languages,
spelling, paano nila sinasabi.
12:27
Diba sa Pilipinas, pag magpapa-opera ka, anong kailangan magpa-operahan bakot sa consent?
Uhm... Pega. Pega. Nangalang clinical tayo.
12:45

Ang sinasabi ko yung mga clearance, sibik clearance. Sibik clearance. Anesthetic sibik
clearance. Ikaw, nalang ako nag-RL na kayo. Mega po. Mega po. Diba? Dito sa UK walang sibik
clearance. Anesthetic clearance lang.
13:04

Yes. Kaya dito kahit matanda na tuloy ang operasyon. Wow. Amazing. Kasi dito, babalik,
medyo tama ka rin naman. Dito kasi hindi object ang pera sa pag-opera.
13:21

Libre. Yes po sir. Ayan. Alright. O next, ano yung tanong? Uy, natatakot ko na to. How does the
post-negative ADD, as a Filipino nurse in the UK, How does the positive and negative
experience?
13:39

Ah, ito ba yung sinabi ko sa'yo? Yes po sir. Okay. At sabot ko dyan, my experiences in the UK,
both positive and negative, has given me a more well-rounded approach as a nurse.
13:57

Me being a Filipino, a foreigner in a new country, gave me a wider perspective on different

values of different people all over the world,
14:13

as the UK is a multicultural nation. Pwede mo rin dagdag na both the positive and negative
experiences gave me a much better grasp of who I am and how I could deal not only with my
patients but of all peoples in general.
14:38

Pwede din yun. Parang ano na yung Miss Universe and I thank you. Wow. Okay, next. Nasunat
ko yung iba yung sinunat ko.
14:53

Lalagay ko po talaga. Yes po. Why did you choose UK? I chose UK. UK was not my first
choice. Lalagay ko dyan. My initial choice was to go to America.
15:09

But at that time, in 2009, retrogression was in full effect. And so the UK offered a quicker way
out of the country. And so I took the bullet.
15:26

Now, why choose the UK? The UK can offer many benefits such as free healthcare, good career
progression, and better working conditions compared to the Philippines. Wow, amazing.
15:43

Magaling ka sumagot, sir. Magaling ka. Next. Eh, patayin tayo next time siya. Hindi tayo
magaling mabola. Tingnan mo yung nasawa ko, maganda, di ba? Oo. Ang ganda po ang family
niyo po. Hindi, sila lang.
15:58

Buti nga di nagmana yung anak ko sa akin. Ikas ko, hindi, patayin. Hindi ko haterin sila. Eh,
babae lahat ng anak ko. Ah, babae lahat ng anak ko po, sir. Oo. I have one magduto. Yung
panganay ko is magduto. Yung sukuro sa kanya is magbo one month.
16:16

So, yeah. Yeah, you can imagine I'm very busy, di ba? Yes, sir. Super. Okay po, last question na
po. Last question. So, what are your achievements in the UK as a Filipino nurse?
16:32

As a Filipino nurse. As a Filipino nurse, clinically speaking, my achievements would be that I

have worked in many settings including neurosurgical intensive care.
16:51

However, where I am most proud of is that I have managed to... I co-founded an active and
engaged Filipino community online.
17:15

Filipino UK Nurse Community. And this community helps not only new nurses coming into the
UK, but also nurses that have been living in the UK. So, yun. Yun lang naman.
17:31

Okay po. Yun lang yung mga questions ko po. And then thank you so much sir for your time as
well. Thank you and pasensya na talaga po sa abala. Okay lang. Okay lang. Buti game kayo.
Kasi syempre meron yung iba. Di naman maapag-sulati, maapag-accommodate.
17:50

Pero ito lang yung suggestion ko sa'yo, Senya. Yung mga sinasabi ko sa'yo, remember, if you're
going to get somebody whose... Yung lang na yung mga binigay ko, they are extremely busy
people. Meron ba nago-o sa'yo for an interview? Si Mae Parsons ba? Sabi ni Mae Parsons po, sir.
Si ma'am may...
18:08

Sabi niya na... Ano ba yun? Sabi niya. She will find someone po. She said to me. And then I said
to her, okay ma'am, just contact me from time to time. But then she didn't reply back. So, I think
she's really busy. Then si sir... Super busy?
18:24

Yes. Si sir, sir yan, was able to call me yesterday. Nasasakang ako. Sabi ko sa kanya, anytime
you're available, sir. And he said, I'm available right now. So, okay, I contacted him and we were
talking.
18:40

He was also giving me some tips. Sabi niya na, why were the questions like this and like that?
Sabi ko sa kanya naman, because these are qualitative questions. Like that, like that.
Magugulang. Mas inter-research siya ba ngayon? Yeah, inter-research talaga.
18:55
Si Oliver Soriano is a chief nurse. Double degree yan. Mental health, adult nurse dito sa UK. He
heads Philippine Nurses Association UK. Kaya nga sabi ko sa'yo, you listen to these people.
19:13

Kasi pag sinabi nila, ito yan, ito talaga yan. So, anyway, very helpful naman siya. Siguro medyo
strong ang personality niya sa akin, I would imagine. Tama ba? Yes, sir. Like one sentence, yung
mga sagot niya. Parang, what are your experiences? Sabi naman niya, what kind of experiences?
Clinically speaking?
19:32

Oo, yun nga. Wow, ba talaga? I can honestly confirm. Pero yun nga, kasi you have to bear in
mind when you ask people na, yung paano sila mag-isip, may minsan hindi na natin about it.
19:50

Buti nga, pero bakit ba hindi na piniliin sa'yo? Kasi feeling ko, parang tukuro ang kapanila. Pero,
are you able to use yung nakuha mo kay Sir Ollie Soliano?
