Whatta filipina!

Penny, I'm sorry to read your thread, especially as the people you met are from "caring" professions. I believe it's due to ignorance, which we Brits also experience. It's very hard to argue with such people, and probably not worthwhile, because they're already prejudiced.

It's not racism, just her personal views. For instance, I'd never marry a Frenchman ..... Now that could mean I don't like the French..... However, I don't like the French

Ok boss. Actually I respect her views that's why I commented in a positive way.

you should have said "not as yuk as having to wipe peoples "

she's just and jelly belly no Brit is interested in her

quote from churchill 'I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.'

I would like to tell her I'm looking for a job and her job is in the bottom of my list. I love working with people really, but with boundaries.

Hey, let's be clear, we're talking about personal opinion and attitude in a few people (whatever nationality) with which we rightly disagree. But most nurses are dedicated and do not have negative views.
Care assistants likewise have duties which are indeed beyond many people's "boundaries" . Unpleasant work at times, but what they do is essential, and we should be grateful to them.
Medical laboratory scientists ... are the "backroom" boys and girls who are often not understood and therefore not appreciated. But please remember if a patient might have meningitis, needs an urgent blood test, transfusion, or a biopsy sample for cancer, they depend on these "lab technicians" (who all have a degree, just like nurses are soon to need).
These professional people may not all have the right attitude (what group does?) but I'm prepared to defend the vast majority. You are entitled to your opinion about them, but if you work with them or (God forbid) you need their help, you might forgive the attitude of a minority.

I've got nothing but respect for the care assistants, my mom is in a care home , so i know what a difficult job they do and how unpleasant it can be

and there are many other people who do an important job for the NHS who don't have or need a degree, my misses is a Senior Assistant technical officer in the haematology depart (vampire squad) taking blood from patients, she gets to chat to mostly pensioners who tell her stories a few of her patients were in the royal navy, who were in the Philippines as WW2 ended and tell her what it was like then

Ho-hum! Based on Joe's inference, you can bet part at least part of HER particular job would be ABOUT the ... LITERALLY ... among other "places" on her list!

Just my personal views too Doc. I know and respect their job and I'm not sure if I can do such responsibilities that's why it's in the bottom of my list.

It is just stranged sometimes. We, filipinas married to British never or maybe seldom given any negative opinions by nurses working in the Philippines.
Only these nurses working and caring elderlies in the UK has negative views with us. But then, I'm not saying in general as I have nurses genuine friends here. Most of them lives in our city in the Philippines, working in Wales, London, Newcastle and Scotland. I met in the Philippines and my FB friends.

Ho-hum! Based on Joe's inference, you can bet part at least part of HER particular job would be ABOUT the ... LITERALLY ... among other "places" on her list!

Yes Arth, I admit it's the butt thing but who knows, I can do that little by little.
