2012 nursing jobs and training updates

[dodoy]

Good day fellow nurses! I just want to give some updates regarding some hospitals that I happened to visit last December 2011. I hope many will be willing to share some info too. Let's help each other out. =)

Chinese Gen - accepting applications ONLY if you graduated from their school

San Lazaro - deadline of applications for RNHeals here was unfortunately last December. Too bad I didn't make it. Ha-ha

Medical City - as usual, logging on their log sheet is the first step if you're a commoner. If with backer, expect the process to be faster. (Too bad I don't know anyone haha) Check out their page on FB. The Medical City: Career Opportunities. Training for the next batch will tentatively start by first quarter so waiting for another 3 months is a no-brainer especially if you haven't had any exams and interviews yet.

St. Lukes (QC) - according to someone I know, training would probably start by January. Tentative.

Manila Doctors - HR is accepting applications but that is for pooling (subject to training with a fee).

NKTI - accepting applications BUT is very strict with requirements. Minimum of 6 months paid hosp experience from at least a hundred bed cap hospital. Geez! That's where my requirements flanked. I have all the others except the bed cap of the hospital where I came from. See NKTI's website. nkti.gov.ph

__Please feel free to correct any information if you know/believe is misleading. I hope others will try to contribute too in this thread. God bless us nurses and Happy new job hunting year! Ha-ha

Hello guys... :) Do any of you know any hospitals or clinics where I can pass my resume?

I've been a bum for a year, and I really want to try applying to hospitals again.

Thank you

The best thing to do actually is to just pass your resume at any hospital you pass by. Bring photocopies of the usual requirements such as TOR, diploma, board certificate, PRC license. If you already passed your resume at that particular hospital and it has been a year or so, you can resubmit again in case they are for hiring.

Instead of waiting at home for calls, you can try to attend seminars or even specialised trainings so you can improve your resume as well as your personal knowledge and skills. I underwent BLS, IVT, and Hemodialysis trainings while waiting for a call. Right now I finished my panel interview and I am up for a pre-employment training at a tertiary hospital.

During the interview, they did ask how I spent my time post-graduation, since it has been almost a year after graduation and 6 months after they released the 2011 NLE results. I said I continued to enrich myself and pursue career growth while waiting for the big break, and they recommended me to be included in their pre-employment training (free) and up for evaluation.

It is costly and hard on the wallet to apply, but the wait is well worth it.

Caisaki, congratulations! May I know what is that tertiary hospital that you are referring to for your pre-employment training? When did you pass your applications? When was the first call of the HR after your application and how was the whole process? Sorry for so many questions but I believe it's not only me that will benefit but also our colleagues here who are anxiously waiting for a call from hospitals. Thanks in advance! :)

Hi theweirddebonair! I applied at UPHSD Medical Center (Perpetual Help Hospital) in Las Pinas. After 2 days of passing, I received a message to take an exam. They informed me that I passed and 3 days after, I was scheduled for a panel interview and Psych exam. Then I was recommended for the New Graduate Development Program / training, which will be starting tomorrow.

The program is like that of St. Luke's, where we will go 1 month didactic training (lecture), 2 months practicum, and evaluated right after. If we passed their evaluation, we will be promoted to probationary status with salary. The HR assistant said that out of 80 applicants we were down to 20.

I also applied at so many hospitals and dialysis centers here in Metro Manila, but they are all still backlogged on the applicants. I wanted to apply at St. Lukes QC, but they told a friend that they are the last batch to be interviewed for the first half of 2012, so I did not go anyway. Luckily The HR at Perps processed my application quickly even if I don't have a backer.

What are the Training you would recomment for fresh grads like me? I just passed the December NLE, and I am starting from scratch. Obviously. I am confused if I will be trained as a Hemodialysis nurse or any other trainings that is available....

Hi Guys! If you're still having a hard time applying at hospitals, you could trying applying at Eye Centers like Asian Eye Institute. They have an open position for clinic nurse there so if you have any ophtha experience, i suggest you pass at one of their branches either in rockwell, SM MOA or Trinoma. It would be a plus if you also know how to operate different ophthalmic machines. Good Luck!

I'm not entirely sure, because our batch just started today. It might take some time before the next batch starts. They did tell us that in order to qualify for the program, you have to have a board rating of at least 80%, have good english communication skills, pass the nursing aptitude test and pass the interview.

It was fast in my case, since I was included in the last applicants before closing this batch. I hope so too, upon reviewing their program with the OIC we realized that the burden is a bit hard for some of us. To be able to be promoted to probationary rank (we are now in "trainee rank"), we have to be able to safely and efficiently handle 10 patients each per day without any issues. Aside from examinations and evaluations that are somewhat elimination in nature. Once you are probationary, you are officially hired.

They said the last training batch started with 20 trainees, and only 3 were hired. I really need to study.

I suggest you undergo Hemodialysis training after you have a 6 months experience at least, so that you can take an exam already with RENAP. In my case, I had my hemo training after my IVT and BLS, but since I am training in a hospital right now I have to take a refresher course when I decide to pursue hemodialysis.
