1. It's So Hard to Look for a Local Job!!!!

   dizzydean replied to misspowers's topic in Philippines

   Guys just keep on trying & don't stop. I found employment after 4 months of looking for one. The key is persistence.

2. To those who have taken both exams, w/c is harder: NLE or NCLEX?

   dizzydean replied to Skates's topic in International

   Any exam will be hard if you don't study. :wink2:

3. Delusional Thoughts/in Denial

   dizzydean replied to Aviationurse's topic in International

   I am an RN with a medical background & I have many friends who have successfully transitioned from the role of a doctor to that of a nurse without any problem. I believe that those you mention are isolated cases. In those cases, I feel it is no...

   The PRC, CHED and PNA should already know this by now (Oversupply of nurses) & they should take measures to regulate & maintain the quality of the nurses that we produce.

5. Moving to New Zealand

   dizzydean replied to Susan 1's topic in Australia

   It doesn't sound negative at all, it actually sounds like a bed of roses if you think of the situation here in the Philippines.

6. Nurses to NZ

   dizzydean replied to rn2bnack's topic in International

   I am an MDRN as well but I doubt it if they will credit experience as a doctor. Their policy right now is to have a 1 year nursing experience. Better to send the council an e-mail.

7. Which is better reveiw center for nclex: Kaplan or Pentagon?

   dizzydean replied to Skates's topic in International

   In my opinion there is no such thing as "the best review center". It all depends on the person whether he/she has the right study habits & how hard he/she studies.

8. Philippine Board of Nursing to stop Second Coursers from taking up Nursing

   dizzydean replied to mtreyes's topic in Philippines

   Because there are no opportunities for them in the Philippines, it's simple as that. And when I say opportunities these are job opportunities that offer reasonable compensation enough to actually raise a family.

9. Attitudes of Second Coursers who are taking up Nursing in the Philippines

   dizzydean replied to bingowingo's topic in International

   Yes I understand, It is just my opinion that it's better not to lump people in a category or label people. I don't see why we can just say "nurses with attitude problems". It's this labeling that gives an impression & is imprinted to other peo...

10. BSN from Philippines Compared to BSN from USA

    dizzydean replied to redranger's topic in International

    Here in the Philippines the rich get richer & the poor get poorer. The problem with some Filipinos is that they sometimes are too scared to stand up for their rights & they just go on accepting the measly pay that a certain company gives the...

11. Exploitation of Hospitals

    dizzydean replied to potatomasher's topic in International

    I agree on all counts. It's ridiculous that a volunteer nurse has to pay a certain amount of fee for her/him to give voluntary service. The government should definitely take measures to regulate the production of nurses. It's actually these new nu...

12. Attitudes of Second Coursers who are taking up Nursing in the Philippines

    dizzydean replied to bingowingo's topic in International

    I don't know why we should label a certain group & generalize the attributes of that particular group. Whether 1st courser or 2nd courser let's not generalize. It just breeds discrimination.

13. i haven't received my result

    dizzydean replied to sonreir's topic in International

    Try calling them up & ask them to send you a letter again containing the result of your exam. Try sending them a message through FAX also.

14. Filipino Nurses who passed the NCLEX without the help of Review Center

    dizzydean replied to nursemich's topic in Philippines

    First you have to clear out the distractions. Inform people at the place you live in to understand that it is important not to disturb you while studying. If possible, go to a place to study where there is no access to television & internet. D...

15. where CAN I FIND A JOB

    dizzydean replied to kIttE_mEoW's topic in CRNE

    Guys you just have to be pro active and don't stop looking. There may be some new hospitals opening that you may not know of in your vicinity. Just scour your area and go farther out till you find a hospital with a job vacancy. Good luck!
