1. Clinical Instructors and lecturers with no hospital experience?

   Libby_09 posted a topic in Philippines

   With the rapid increase in Nursing students in the last few years, schools are forced to hire clinical instructors (CI's) and lecturers even though they have zero work experience. While a lot of them are likely very competent and versed in Nursing th...

2. what will happen next???

   Libby_09 replied to arjay_gimikero's topic in International

   If you have saved money or if your parents/relatives etc can shoulder your bills for the next 2-3 years then I guess it's acceptable to resign and re-pursue your Nursing career. But if you want to be practical then I suggest that you resign when you'...

3. License verification in PRC

   Libby_09 replied to datukuno's topic in International

   My brother's license has expired but he now needs license verification in the PRC. I would assume that he needs to renew it first, right? Does he still need the other requirements such as photocopy of license ID, passport size pictures even if he's o...

4. Filipino Nurses to Canada...."caregivers" or nurses??

   Libby_09 replied to Hoss's topic in International

   Honestly, the irrational bashing of Philippine Nurses in this forum has to stop. No one is claiming that Philippine Nursing right now is perfect but that doesn't mean that we can instantly assume that the majority of nurses right now is sub-par. The ...

5. IELTS review

   How about trying Niner Review? I can't vouch for it personally but my girlfriend reviewed there and it seemed to help her improve her band score.

6. PNA Manila

   Libby_09 replied to milkshake_rn's topic in International

   Hi. Here's directions on going to the PNA. Short answer? Just ride the LRT to Pedro Gil and ride a Sta. Ana or Paco (I think) jeepney beside PCU. You'll be in the PNA street after about 5 blocks. Just walk right and you'll see the PNA building.

7. Admission requirements for nursing programs in the Philippines

   Libby_09 replied to girleegirl's topic in International

   Watching and reading about it is totally different from actually experiencing the situation here. News reports, conversations etc can often be sensationalized and filled with biases that can lead people outside the country to make rash generalization...

8. Admission requirements for nursing programs in the Philippines

   Libby_09 replied to girleegirl's topic in International

   Maybe we should give them these new nurses/ nursing students the benefit of the doubt before assuming that they are improperly trained or lack the skill. Granted, there are more diploma mills sprouting but a lot of these so-called substandard student...

9. May 2008 Visa Bulletin

   Libby_09 replied to lawrence01's topic in International

   Quick question. I've been looking at the previous Visa Bulletins. On July 2007, priority date for EB3 for the Philippines was Current then became Unavailable for August 2007 then moved back to August 2002 for the Sept 2007 Visa Bulletin. What exactly...

10. Graduate studies (MAN) in the Manila????

    Libby_09 replied to nars1218's topic in International

    Most nurses taking the MAN here want to pursue a career in the academe. This is the Philippine Nursing Forum after all so let's not assume that every question is somehow related to working in the US. There are a lot of issues that someone outside the...

11. NCLEX in the Philippines

    Libby_09 posted a topic in International

    Guys, how long is the waiting list for the NCLEX exam once you got confirmation from the state that you're applying and paid the fee at Pearson Vue? How many sessions and examinees are there per month? And is there a cheap NCLEX application agency ar...
