1. a question for philippine nursing graduates

   Rose56 replied to lots_of_luv's topic in International

   Wow,Dervid. I feel so antiquated already. During my time which is a loooong, looooong time ago, a passing grade which is a 3 "tres"in any class ("subject") your first year will automatically kick you out of the program. But then again as I said, that...

2. a question for philippine nursing graduates

   Rose56 replied to lots_of_luv's topic in International

   When you said, "do they look at the types of grades you have", you mean the employers? I remember we had to have an authenticated transcript in addition to our diplomas with our applications. I assume that for someone to pass the licensing exams, she...

   Rose56 replied to Rose56's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for the encouragement. I still have to do my clinicals after my final test, but I am really excited. A little apprehensive but really excited. I will be doing 96 hours of clinicals. I am not sure that will be enough to get back some of my lost...

   Thanks, Krissy. It is so nice to know that there are a lot of us out there. So you're from NY. That's where I got my original licensure a long time ago:chuckle.I am also doing school nursing part time. Again, thanks.

9. What is a watch with a second hand?

   Rose56 replied to Wanna_be_a_Nurse's topic in General Nursing

   I got intrigued about the topic for this thread and so I started asking kids at my son's school if they knew what a "second hand" on a watch was. 7 out of 7 knew. I honestly think Wanna Be was just kidding.

10. Survey: Should nurses from other countries be recruited to aid in the nursing shortag

    Rose56 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    When I first came to this country, I used to work with other Filipino nurses and I remember that we also used to talk in our "native" tongue. Rest assured, they are no bad mouthing you. It is just so much easier at that time to talk in our first lang...

11. Survey: Should nurses from other countries be recruited to aid in the nursing shortag

    Rose56 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing
