“As a nursing executive I like the idea of helping nurses. UWI is a firm lead by nurses. We are very leery of most firms saying that they specialize in foreign nursing recruitment because we are not sure that they actually have the nurse's best interests in mind. This firm is lead by two nurses that have been named outstanding nurses of the year by their peers. We know that they value the profession and want to do what is right. We have been very pleased with the quality of nurses and the acculturation and mentoring that is provided by the team post placement."
– From a top nursing executive of one of Texas’ Magnet Hospitals.
“It was a good and pleasant experience! It was an easy transition coming from the Philippines and "cultural shock" was not so bad because of the support I got from UWI and St. Lukes. Annabelle was there if you needed her, she will do her best to help you. She actually became my mentor and friend."
--Nina Lumbera, UWI Recruit
”Definitely you could trust UWI. The trainers are very dependable, trustworthy and the most honest people that I've ever met in my life. They will do anything in their power and will go out of their way to help if you have any problem.”
-- Ronald Nuval, UWI Nursing Recruit
”I really feel comfortable recommending UWI to my relatives and friends or anybody that needed their help.”Annabelle is a very nice person, she is down to earth with a good heart and has time to listen to you if you needed help. She is very approachable and you will feel at ease with her right away. If you need her, she is there to help you. She will help you from start and up to whenever...She is still my mentor up to now. She helps us with our research studies and presentations that we conducted in our unit. She is our professional "advisor" when it comes to these matters. We published a research article nationally and presented it to the local and national conference for Perianesthesia nurses. I received an award of recognition for Outstanding Performance in Nursing given by Texas Nurses Association given last Nov. 15, 2001 and she is one of the driving forces behind that accomplishment.”
-- Mariel Bartinana, UWI Nursing Recruit
"Coming to America is very scary. America is known as the land of opportunity but things are so different in my country. We do not even have washing machines. It was important for me to know Annabelle and the people at UWI. I knew she had been through what I had decided to do and would take care of me. There are a lot of recruiters in the Philippines but they are run by many different kinds of people that you are not sure that you can trust. Annabelle is somebody you can trust because
she is a” nurses’ nurse.”
