   reginakrys replied to jcmdimaano's topic in Registration

   You have to submit a copy of your HS diploma or any other evidence of your secondary education to CGFNS, regardless of which type of report you will be requesting. The requirements are the same for both, and it can be found here: http://cgfns.org/fil...

2. Filipino nurse help on CGFNS CES filing!

   reginakrys replied to jcmdimaano's topic in Registration

   You should have two forms. The one that says academic transcript or something like that goes to your school. The other one, license validation, goes to prc.

3. Which is more difficult NCLEX or NLE?

   reginakrys replied to kyliez's topic in Philippines

   NCLEX. You have to know how to analyze questions. You can pass NLE just memorizing stuff, but not with NCLEX.

4. Help!! What is the good review center for NCLEX?

   reginakrys replied to jonah019's topic in Philippines

   Same here, I enrolled in Kaplan. But their review program is not the spoonfeeding type. Its a self-paced review, so you have to manage your own time.

5. Kaplan and saunders scores

   reginakrys replied to jcmdimaano's topic in NCLEX

   You can apply for it online, but the forms from your nursing school and PRC need to be sent by postal mail. CGFNS also does a certification program, or CP, which consists of the CES, the CGFNS exam, and an English exam. 70ish on Kaplan, 80ish on Saun...

   reginakrys replied to maia718's topic in Registration

   I applied at Vermont. I got my eligibility in 3 months, but that doesn't include the CES report from CGFNS. My CES report took around a month.

7. Acute/ Chronic Renal Failure

   reginakrys replied to nochka22's topic in Student Assist

   I would go with the ESRD patient too. Frequent PVC's can lead to V-Fib, a fatal circulatory problem. Kussmaul's respiration is a compensatory mechanism to balance the acidosis. So, between potential V-Fib and metabolic acidosis, I'd see the former fi...

   reginakrys replied to littleone17's topic in Philippines

   You may be able enroll in BLS, First Aid, or other trainings or seminars without a Philippine license, but the catch is that your BRN (or whatever institution you're working for) might not accept or recognize them. As for gaining experience in hospit...

10. When did you take your NCLEX?

    reginakrys replied to MadpeysRN's topic in NCLEX

    I graduated March 2008, and took the NCLEX just last month. So, more than 3 years after graduation. Initially, I wasn't really planning on working as a nurse - I actually enrolled and passed first year med school. But then, I got pregnant and, so now...

11. And the waiting for the results is more agonizing than taking it. Srsly!

    reginakrys replied to purplechicxiii's topic in NCLEX

    No, I wasn't on hold. It's just that I didn't trust the PVT 100%. I knew that there had been some takers who got the CC page but in reality, they passed. Who knows, it could have been the other way around for me. If I may ask, what's the reason your ...

12. How do you study?

    reginakrys replied to Mazee's topic in NCLEX

    I answer all questions before moving on to the rationales. I do this so I can time myself, and try to gain some type of "test endurance" because I get hungry so soon. LOL

13. And the waiting for the results is more agonizing than taking it. Srsly!

    reginakrys replied to purplechicxiii's topic in NCLEX

    I can totally relate! The first couple of days after my exam, my husband had to literally make me go out of the house so I don't stalk the Pearson Vue website too much. I was logging in a million times a day to see if my quick results were up!

14. Where do I begin?

    reginakrys replied to Step2012's topic in NCLEX

    Saunders CD has a diagnostic exam that tells you which topics you're weak or good at. You can even print out a study schedule based on your strengths and weaknesses.

15. This is how I prepared for my NCLEX-RN Exam. :)

    reginakrys replied to purplechicxiii's topic in NCLEX

    Wow. I'm sure this will be a very valuable guide to many future NCLEX takers.=) For my review, I enrolled in a Kaplan class and read Saunders 4th Ed after I finished the Kaplan materials. A few weeks before the exam date, I kept on answering 75-150 i...
