1. Taking the NCLEX now over having an experience first

   cherrycoke replied to cherrycoke's topic in International

   Thank you all for the encouragement. It was just a little disheartening to hear all the things they said to us when they haven't even taken nclex yet--> this I realized only when I got home. Good thing we weren't swayed into not continuing with th...

2. Taking the NCLEX now over having an experience first

   cherrycoke posted a topic in International

   Hi. When my friends and I went to school to start on the BON requirements, some of the clinical instructors discouraged us from taking the NCLEX because we are "fresh graduates" and have no experience yet. Things they said to us sounded so sarcastic ...

3. Get your Passports ASAP

   Wow, we (2006 both June and Dec) seem to be a jinxed batch.

   Yes. I hope nursing salary in the Philippines will change for the better.

5. June 2006 RN's: Retake Requirements?

   cherrycoke replied to aNgeL_gaL's topic in International

   Has chair Leonor Rosero spoken yet about the retake? I heard in the news tonight she's still in the US. So maybe that's why there is no "official" announcement yet.

6. American Nurses Association Urges New Tests for Philippine Nurses

   cherrycoke replied to lawrence01's topic in Philippines

   Oops, I hear people singing, "Uh oh we're in trouble.." Rep is right. The retake is a bitter pill to swallow but it is in fact the only way to go. I know June passers can do it a 2nd time. If not, then you're still RNs in the Philippines, isn't that ...

   Ever heard of 2,600 per month? Sad but true.

8. CGFNS/ICHP's Official decision on Visa Screening for June 2006 NLE passers

   cherrycoke replied to eivan's topic in Philippines

   Puentevella really said those things? Laughed my ass off. Is he Nostradamus now? Hahaha! It sounded ala-Nostradamus, in the tone of doing an ancient curse. My god.

   Good luck. Guess it's just the world's way of humbling (this is positive!) the june 2006 passers (esp. protesters). Majority of you cannot call pro-retakes "sourgrapes" now. They were right.

    I hope they just retake tests 3 and 5..

    cherrycoke replied to eivan's topic in Philippines

    Hmm..yeah exactly. I mean if they'd retaken the exam a long time ago or took it again December ... for the "cloud of doubt" to disappear..

12. CGFNS/ICHP's Official decision on Visa Screening for June 2006 NLE passers

    cherrycoke replied to eivan's topic in Philippines

    If enough of the June batch thought about the end in mind from the very beginning (no US hiring, questionable integrity as professionals, discrimination from local hospitals, etc), they'd probably have chosen to retake and to retake means the issue g...

13. Any Filipino RN who passed the June 2006 NLE?

    cherrycoke replied to rajotolentino's topic in International

    Gosh I hope that doesn't happen.:stone

14. Any Filipino RN who passed the June 2006 NLE?

    cherrycoke replied to rajotolentino's topic in International

    Yes, it would be too bad if the common stand is going to be no to retake. I think June 2006 passers are tired of the one-step-forward, two-steps-back thing. I personally think appealing to the CGFNS (as opposed to just doing what CGFNS wants) will ju...

15. Any Filipino RN who passed the June 2006 NLE?

    cherrycoke replied to rajotolentino's topic in International

    I remember the CGFNS saying not these exact words but something to this effect: "Maybe you can fool Filipino examiners but you cannot fool American examiners," so it was kind of expected that they will come to this decision. This will probably get re...
