beware of NURSE JOBS ABROAD SCAM

[Tsaikoboy]

I've been trying to search for RN jobs abroad and was surprised to receive a recruitment email from Hopital Monfort, it was lengthy asking for my personal details and then asking for a deposit of P 3750 prior to the orientation for Canadian Accent training!??!

The scammer was posing as "Brigitte S. Legare" and you have to send the amount via western union to a fictitious Makati address.

I emailed POEA immediately about this scam and I am very glad to have received a response from them saying they will take appropriate action into the matter.

To my fellow RN's and aspiring nurses, please be wary of these scams asking you to pay before attending. Please report them to poea_legalassistancediv @ yahoo.com.ph (minus the spaces between the @ sign).

I hope this prevents any of us from being scammed and taken advantaged of.

Hôpital Montfort, a Healing Hospital

Hôpital Montfort is a university medical centre offering acute
primary and secondary care and services. In light of the current
transformation project that will more than double its floor space,
Montfort has adopted a humanist vision based on the attributes of a
healing hospital. The hallmarks of such a hospital are compassion
and personalized care, supported by the latest technology and the
adoption of the best practices in the field.

The unbroken chain of compassion in a healing hospital ensures that
every person who graces its doors, be it a patient, a health
professional, an employee, a visitor or a student, has an
outstanding experience each and every time.

This vision is rooted in the core values transmitted by the
religious order that founded Montfort in 1953, the Daughters of
Wisdom.

Hôpital Montfort is also a firm believer in the importance of
working in partnership with other healthcare facilities, academic
institutions and community organizations in order to provide a
