Hi! I was not allowed to post the list here so you can just PM me your email ads so I can send it to you guys.

jsb831: Sorry but I think they stopped accepting applicants for this coming batch. Try going there around last week of August or first week of September to apply for the Feb-Aug Batch. And yes a certificate of completion will be given to all those who will finish the 6-month residency program. Requirements will only be submitted AFTER you have passed the exam. Try to do some back reading for more information. GOOD LUCK!

The first step is to call the NETB of VLGH @ 4262701 loc 6942..politely ask for the schedule of the next examination for the RN-Residency Program...since the 2nd batch is graduating this August, more likely the 3rd batch is starting their didactic phase already...there are two batches in a year March-August and August-March...after confirming that there would an exam, I strongly suggest that you visit the office to pre-register...you need to be patient...I belong to the pioneer batch, I took the exam last March '08 and started August of the same year...

After passing the written examination, you'll be given the list of requirements. Then there would a competency exam--skills examination, next is the interview with the military head nurses. This is a critical phase coz this would determine your designated clinical area. After would be a 2 weeks didactic phase, a day of return demo of the various nursing skills, IV training (if you still don't have it..)and at last 6 months of clinical experience.

Well, the key is to do good at the written examination. It's true that almost majority of the applicants have their backers but the experience is worth trying!

You could also visit our multiply account @ http://rnresidents.multiply.com, you could ask your queries there...

V Luna General Hospital (VLGH) is under the Armed Forces of the Philippines Medical Center (AFPMC)...VLGH is located @ V Luna Road, Quezon City. If you'll be taking the LRT2 route, it's nearest to Anonas Station while on MRT it's near GMA-Kamuning then another jeepney ride to each way...don't complain yet...if you really want it...its worth the sacrifice! As for me, I live in Tondo and it's almost 1 1/2 hr travelling time and I have lots of co-RN Residents near Tondo as well...

Yes it requires wearing COMPLETE duty uniform. For girls you could use your school uniform, you can't wear pants except during weekends or holidays but still it depends on your head nurse and you'll be wearing your nursing cap except if you'll be assigned in special areas where you could use your scrub suits.

This is a military-training hospital..just imagine following your school's regulations regarding you're ideal appearance, punctuality and attitude in a strict manner. I mean it..proper hair cut for boys, clean "white" shoes, name plates, ID's...it may sound difficult but after some time you'll get used to it. I even find myself re-painting my shoes with white Kiwi before going to duty as a volunteer nurse in a public hospital...too bad there's nobody to appreciate it..hehe!

Go try it karmela! there's nothing to lose and so much to gain with the program..

Thank you for all those selfless nurses who share good information to job seekers or shall I say training seekers like me. May God Bless you! And good luck to all of us!
