|
|
Ah! I just finished another temporary assignment at the hospital. This time I had a Filipino supervisor who could barely speak English. And she was trying to train me the data entry job I had gone there to do. There was another temp there who was a guy named Tony and he started the same day as I did.
I was supposed to transfer info from a sheet that had doctors writing on it and I could not read a lick of the writing. Doctors write horribly. After 3 days of this, they ended our assignment. Both Tony and I.
So the agency called me that evening and asked what happened as both of us were let go. So I just told her the truth; I could not understand the Filipino and could not read what the doctors had written. |

That is the reason why people from outside thr UK have to pass an English language test before they are employed in hospitals |

Ooooooo, sometimes I wish this country was not so ......open to other people coming here and living and working. This particular department I noticed had like 80% Filipinos in these types of positions. The educated nurses had the managerial jobs. |

It has only been introduced in the past few years....but it is a good idea...
