  1. ADN/BSN

    Yeah, I heard about the transcripts in the Philippines not always transferring. Often times, MDs in the Philippines become RNs in the United States. I suppose it appears a Philippine MD is the equivalent to a US RN??? I know of persons who want to...
  2. Alternative name for CNA?

    I think the "nurse" part needs to be removed from the title of the assistants because often times assistants confuse themselves for being actual nurses.
  3. My story (need advice) long

    HELL YES THEY DO!!!
  11. Is Nursing School Hard?

    Yes, nursing school is hard! Those who say it's easy can go ask half the class that failed out, see if they will agree with you! What kept me focused was keeping my mind on short goals and to not get overwhelmed. Also, when there are persons who s...
  12. I've experienced being told similar comments by people after being accepted into the nursing program as I was on the wait list, such as, "I think nursing will be stressful for you, you might want to reconsider" from an Aunt or "I don't see you being ...
  13. Filipino Cultural Conflict

    I'm not sure there will be a smooth way to resolve the conflict. I've discussed methods to use more effective communication techniques. Yet, I doubt it will help much... it's the culture.
  14. Hello allnurses.com I am a graduating Registered Nursing student. I just wanted to share a experience with all of you. I am a Filipino, born and raised in the United States. During my clinical experience in the hospitals, I have noticed a cultur...
