  1. Thanks for responding @yamkins :) Do you know of any kababayans that were able to become successful nurses in the hospitals in the States? I mean, UP Manila isn't NLN accredited I believe?
  2. Hi guys! First things first, I earned my Bachelors Degree in Nursing last March 2011 in the Philippines. I took the NCLEX-RN in January and thank God, passed on my 2nd try. I have been researching the net for job openings for RN's in the US and just ...
  3. I failed my NCLEX...what do I do now?

    Hey there. I also failed my first attempt at the Nclex. What I did when I received my second ATT was I scheduled my exam date, and used the remaining months to review my whole Saunders 5th ed., Lacharity book and Kaplan questions. I answered hundreds...
  4. I see. Well I guess US is the only option for me due to me not having the needed requirements here in Phils. Thanks guys, you've been big help. :) God Bless
  5. Thanks Lafrenze. Yes I am aware of Manila hospitals becoming a problem to new RN's. Thing is, I was just planning on getting training and a few certificates (BLS and IV Training) while I am still here in the Philippines saving up for my tax payment t...
  6. Hi guys.. I am a Fil-Am who finished college here in the Philippines. Due to me being a US citizen, I wasn't allowed to take the Local Boards, so I took the NCLEX-RN immediately after college. My question is this, can I gain experience in the hospita...
  7. This is how I prepared for my NCLEX-RN Exam. :)

    I will pray alongside you kabayan--it brings joy to me knowing even though we have lost at one point, we did not give up. God is so good, so good is God.. Have us updated :) By the way, what number did you stop at this time around? And how many minut...
  8. This is how I prepared for my NCLEX-RN Exam. :)

    Yehey kabayan :) I know in my heart that you passed.. you had God by your side, He definitely is the greatest and deserves all our praise and thanks. IMO Filipino nurses wanting to take the Nclex should not be pressured when to take their Nclex. It ...
  9. Best use of the dry erase board you get

    @purplechicxiii- We're the same, lol. I didn't use the white board that much during my first try. 2nd time, I used the white board to break down the questions I thought were most difficult on the exam. I wrote down A B C D, and put x's on the wrong a...
  10. Best use of the dry erase board you get

    ADPIE-- Assess before you implement ABC's Don't delegate to UAP's and LPN's what you can EAT (Evaluate, Assess, Teach) I didn't write down the lab values (NA, K, RBCs, WBCs, pH) cus I memorized and mastered them a week before the Nclex. Other than th...
  11. Do you recommend LaCharity?

    I'd recommend it. I took the NCLEX and passed last month. Lacharity has a lot of those delegation questions that you don't see much in other review books. The delegation questions are somewhat repetitive in different chapters, I think this is a strat...
  12. My Nclex Journey (kinda long, very inspirational)

    @Me2006: Thanks friend.. We both did it :)
  13. My Nclex Journey (kinda long, very inspirational)

    @purplechicxiii: Go kababayan! The US needs more loving nurses these days and the Filipino people are truly those you can call warm, hospitable and caring. :) My prayers are with you..
  14. My Nclex Journey (kinda long, very inspirational)

    I really recommend Kaplan :) I used Kaplan Qbank and the free QTrainers you can google online. Other than that I used Saunders, Lacharity, Feuer Audio Review that I would listen to from time to time, and the Kaplan Strategies Book. Memorize basic lab...
  15. Exactly.. When you get a drop of ALDOSTERONE, automatically NA and Water levels decrease as well, blood volume and pressure decreases leading to hypotension, dehydration, the like. No need to over analyze my friend :) Basics, basics, basics are good ...
