2. Starting a nursing career

   sugarplum18PH&USRN replied to pma.rn's topic in International

   I was in a 6-month training program by a tertiary government hospital and I have not paid them a single cent. Sure, they required a new uniform but that is less than the Php3500 you doled out.

3. ATTENTION: CA BON Now Requires SSN to apply for NCLEX.

   sugarplum18PH&USRN replied to Hushdawg's topic in Philippines

   Nurses, why don't you try Illinois? I heard from my former instructor that once you pass the NCLEX, they'll be giving you your very own social security number. He passed the NCLEX in January 2011. Another friend also tried that about 4 years ago s...

   sugarplum18PH&USRN replied to pizzalady's topic in International

   Just a suggestion, why don't you try RAGapuz Review center? They have a lot of branches now. I had my review for the NCLEX-RN from March 1 to 20, 2011 which sir **** handled exclusively (though there are about 3-4 days he was substituted by another b...

   What real thing? You mean the start of the training program? Yes, it's quite common although, it may be a bit difficult for you to find a seamstress to make your uniform in less than 2 days. I forgot to add in my first reply that after my panel inte...

   Hi Rhoia! Exam was okay. It's not too difficult or easy, you just have to remember some of the concepts we had in college like how to do focus charting or computing IV meds. If you still have your handouts during your review for the local board, thos...

   To enigmatic24 Sorry for this late reply. I'm not sure if you'll be having the same exam as the one I took last year, not to mention that it was SO LONG AGO. One thing I'm certain is that it was a multiple choice exam. I remember having acid-base bal...

13. Nurses needing??? doctor's orders to administer medications

    sugarplum18PH&USRN replied to amphetamine's topic in International

    I believe that a doctor's order for a medication is strongly needed for LEGAL purposes and apart from that he/she must also write this in the Physician's Notes of the patient's chart justifying that he/she called for this med to be administered. They...

    sugarplum18PH&USRN replied to jeanejolie's topic in International

    In most trainings, like the one I'm in now, you will first be assigned to the wards then your performance will be evaluated after 3-4 months to see if you can be trusted enough to be assigned at the special areas like OR, DR and ICU. Hope this enligh...
