   Icecandy replied to Icecandy's topic in International

   Thanks Achie. I'm jobless right now. I tried applying again at call centers because I need to earn however..... Call centers won't hire me now because I give off a vibe that I'm just there to earn while waiting for hospitals to re-hire, which is act...

4. Any Tips for Surviving the Long Wait of those Pending Applications in the Hospitals

   Icecandy posted a topic in International

   I may have made some wrong and hasty decisions :crying2: but my focus now is to look for solutions. I didn't practice Nursing ASAP when I graduated (which was back in 2007). I worked as a customer service representative while waiting for the results...

5. MAN and Inexperienced Registered Nurses

   Icecandy replied to rogue2578's topic in International

   Let's also look at the gray side, not just dwell on the negative effect or conversely, think of MSN as an ultimately perfect decision. It is trouble, because it sets a higher standard for the newly graduates who do not have experience yet. And yes, i...

6. MAN and Inexperienced Registered Nurses

   Icecandy replied to rogue2578's topic in International

   Yes, others like UP Manila, require at least 1 year hospital experience but other schools (like Concordia College) do not require it. Actually, I'm a part of that MSN-student-lacking-hospital-experience group. I used to work in a call center which ha...

   Icecandy replied to Raine14's topic in Philippines

   yes, Let me join the club. I'd also self mutilate; shop impulsively and smoke non-stop (borderline personality disorder), binge-eat then starve (bulimia nervosa), feel sick as a result of unfulfilled needs like not getting the job i want(psychosomati...

   To Kyckerz, that's sad.after weeks and weeks of waiting, and maybe expecting to become a part of the training, you'll get a response like that. urgggh. I'd feel the same way if I was in your shoes.What are your plans now? I can imagine the same scena...

9. Volunteer Nurse

   Icecandy replied to WinterFairyRN's topic in International

   I'm in the same situation as you are. My uncle can refer me to a hospital in Laguna as a volunteer but it would be better if I can do volunteer work in Manila or Makati. Please help us, guys. Thanks a lot.

10. Hiring nurses in Philippines

    Icecandy replied to morfern07's topic in Philippines

    VixenRN, when I did hospital-hopping last April. One of the hospitals I inquired if they're hiring applicants, was San Juan De Dios (which was one of our affiliate hospitals back in college), HR said they stopped hiring but "tentatively" may resume a...

11. Hiring nurses in Philippines

    Icecandy replied to morfern07's topic in Philippines

    VixenRN, I don't know if I'll regret my job at Convergys or not. Because I got the money for my Masteral tuition fees, nursing books (I wanted to buy) and Nursing DVDs by working there. And of course, money for my extracuriccular activities (shopping...

    Icecandy replied to Raine14's topic in Philippines

    To kyckerz again, I'm sorry, I replied without reading your most recent post here. So, you were informed that your application is for manpower pooling? It must have been disappointing for you, as you waited so long for their call.

    Icecandy replied to Raine14's topic in Philippines

    To kyckerz, honestly, I'm not attending classes in group dynamics lately (Very bad!) because of conflicts with my professor. Clue: I was supposedly a Psyche major, but switched to Medical-Surgical because of her. Anyway, let's not focus on that. I ju...

14. Hiring nurses in Philippines

    Icecandy replied to morfern07's topic in Philippines

    Hi VixenRN, I'm a June 2007 passer. For some reason, I enjoyed my work in Convergys, so I stayed there for almost 2 years. I saw this site and this drove me back to nursing. By the way, MMC is on freeze-hire. I just went there recently. Drop box loca...

15. Makati Medical Center

    Icecandy replied to nikka00's topic in Philippines

    Just to satisfy my curiousity, I went there yesterday and the drop box is closed. The guard situated on the 9th floor said that the pending applications are so plenty and bulky, MMC decided to freeze hire and to stop accepting applicants. He went on ...
