1. Questions about board examination and review

   Turtle_Dog replied to Porthos3300's topic in International

   Looks like a scam friend, IMO. The NLE is given twice a year in each of the PRC regional offices (or the cities where the offices are located) simultaneously. The date for the exam which she gave you is correct, but the application for the exam ended...

2. Nursing schools in Iloilo or Davao for a problematic American?

   Turtle_Dog replied to EwwThat'sNasty's topic in International

   West Visayas State University and St Paul's University in Iloilo requires an entrance exam, and the last I heard is that they do not accept 2nd coursers, but I might be wrong. Better check out their homepages. Technically a 2nd courser is anyone who ...

3. Any knowledge of New England College in Quezon City, Philippines?

   Turtle_Dog replied to FlotsamJetsam's topic in International

   jerro: I think you meant the list is wrong. I could say that all got the same list from the PRC, so it means that somebody somewhere had the wrong code for the school for at least 2 graduates. Since the PRC only processes the codes submitted, the mos...

4. Any knowledge of New England College in Quezon City, Philippines?

   Turtle_Dog replied to FlotsamJetsam's topic in International

   They do have a track record now. I think someone has posted a link to the passing rates of each school in another thread. I believe this school has a current passing rate of 44% where 8 out of 18 graduates passed the NLE

5. AWOL record in resume

   Turtle_Dog replied to fmog's topic in International

   Was just asking since the same thing happened to my friend while he was at St Lukes. :) He resigned than rather work with them. He opted to go out since first, he was rather far from home, and second, he got a better job as a medical transcriptionist...

8. Clinical Instructors and lecturers with no hospital experience?

   Turtle_Dog replied to Libby_09's topic in Philippines

   It is wonderful training, suzanne, if the students get it, or get through it. :wink2: I believe suzanne has already answered most questions in different threads or different posts on about why things are done that way in the Phils, and why things ar...

9. Clinical Instructors and lecturers with no hospital experience?

   Turtle_Dog replied to Libby_09's topic in Philippines

   Hmm student nurses in the phils first assist in delivering babies (in the hospital) and then allowed to handle at least 5 deliveries under the supervision of a clinical instructor and midwife, if it is a home delivery (not allowed anymore as of this ...

10. Clinical Instructors and lecturers with no hospital experience?

    Turtle_Dog replied to Libby_09's topic in Philippines

    Unfortunately thats where we are in the Phils, stuck between the 2 extremes. I have experienced being under both types of CI's; the new/young grad with little or no experience, and the veteran grand dame, who starts each and every sentence, "In my da...

11. Private Nursing Schools Protest New 5 YEAR BSN Requirement

    Turtle_Dog replied to Hoss's topic in International

    I have seen the draft curriculum for the 5 year program (both drafts actually) and the year added is supposed to add a rotation to specialized areas or add more hours in the wards, depending on what is available/what the student chooses (this may be ...

12. How to Deal with Extra Grace Required Nursing Staff

    Turtle_Dog replied to potatomasher's topic in International

    I find it better to them have their way for the moment. It's the easiest thing to do, and you dont have to suffer much. Just kidding. Some staff nurses would like to find out how much they can get away with. Its up to you on how much will you let th...
