I"ve read previous threads here (phil forum) that villamour hospital is accepting nurses esp. volunteer w/allowance if you passed their initial screening requirements. just try to search it back by google (bottom part). I think its a great start for you if you wish to work in phil. military hospital setting. gud luck.!

1.you should pass the entrance exam, the physical exam and the 6 months training. you must be single, not pregnant (for women) or didn't bear a child, with license and I know there's an age limit here.

3. as what I know in the advantages as a military nurse (please correct me if I'm wrong), according to my interview when I was in first year college: you'll be a nurse and also have a rank, basic allowance for uniform, etc., government benefits like SSS, GSIS, etc., great work experience because you'll be assigned to different places in any kind of situations, chance for free continued nursing education here in the Philippines or abroad. They said that you'll have the advantage if you go abroad because of your experience and leadership skills.

There are so many advantages... I can't remember all of them. I suggest that if you're conducting a research, interview a military nurse yourself. Go to AFP, Fort Bonifacio or Villamor Air Base. :nurse: Also, there's this book ( I can't remember the name) that discuss about nursing in different setting. It also discuss about Philippine Military Nursing. :)

i thnk there are two types of exam. those with NLE rating of 80% above will be given the 15 point exam with questions about conversion, essay and you will be asked to make an NCP for a given problem. those who have 79 and below will have the 100 item exam with enumeration. identification, multiple choice, and im not sure if there's matching type as well as essay and NCP also.

i was told by one NC that there are no retakes but those from the office told me that u can have a retake if you fail the 15 point exam, you will be taking the 10 point exam for the retake and some applicants claimed that it was easier than the first and they were able to pass the 2nd one. maybe because of the pasing grade for both exam w/c i think is 80%? (not so sure about that)

It's due to this discrimination in scores why USA had to do away with numbers...I hope RP will also implement a PASS/FAIL type of result in the near future...
