Thanks! :speechless:

Per PGH, they are already calling people who passed the panel interview from February 2011 for Final Interview.

Yey, 5 more months in the line... o__o

Nice nice, haha. I passed the panel interview last October 2012. :D 2 years...I'd appreciate it though if I can have the final interview before the year ends.

You mean you had your final interview already? :D

hmmm they really are serious when they mentioned that the application may take two years..well, i know it's worth the wait..I'm still keeping my fingers crossed, hopefully, they will be able to finish the set of applicants from batch 2011 for final interview..

Sheateman: No, not yet. I had my panel interview last July 2011.. I'm hoping to have my final interview within this year and deployment maybe early next year. 3 years patiently waiting for the dream.

OT: I am actually working abroad now, but I am willing to go back and work at PGH. The dream of working at PGH is still very much alive. :)

Patience is a virtue. ^_^

I do not mean any disrespect. But i'm just wondering why would you want to go back here in the philippines despite poor working conditions in the nursing profession. I admire you for your courage my friend.

No offense taken @mistirdonat..

I know it's impractical to go back there, but as I told in my previous post that it is my dream to work for them (most people who knows about my plan/decision, are also asking me the same question). I guess achieving my purpose and finally landing in a career where I am truly happy is more important to me.

Financially speaking, I am trying to earn as much to secure my future during this period that I am still waiting for my final interview and deployment, so I won't worry about it if ever I will work for PGH in the future.

I don't know exactly how long it takes but any time soon they will call you to undergo the medical examination/ PA then you're in. Congratulations in advance bleuler. You're just one step away from being a staff nurse @ PGH. :D Hmmm I have a question though, how long did take them to call you for ?the final interview, when did you have your panel interview?

Thanks mikeru22! I passed my application in june 2010.. Passed the exam august 2010.. I had my panel interview january 2011.. Then i had my final interview december 2012.. So i've been in the process for almost three years now.. It's really a long and tedious process..

It has been a long and tedious process indeed but hey you're almost there. :D I feel really delighted thinking that although it really takes time to get in as a staff nurse at PGH, we surely have an equal opportunity to be evaluated based on our individual competencies and nursing prowess. :D I can say this because I am currently an RN HEALS Psychiatric Nurse trainee at NCMH. The sad thing is despite the remarkable credentials (I'm speaking not just for my self but also about a few people I know who have exemplary board rating and academic record), the Nursing Service couldn't guarantee us any slots for a staff nurse position simply because the backer system is so rampant that even the nursing service executives themselves are telling us that it really takes a really powerful backer to get in.

Oh by the way, in my case I took the NPE in January 2012, had my panel interview in October of that same year. Looking at it, I would probably have my final interview on the last quarter of this year or on the first quarter of 2013. :D

Yes, i think we really need to have tons of patience for this one.. Haha.. And i think it's much better if you got in without needing a "backer" because a different kind of sense of fulfillment will be there.. Haha.. Anyway, Godbless you in your pgh journey.. :)
