Hi there! Just got home from PGH and found out that they are on continuous hiring for nurse/nursing attendant positions. First, you should get an application form and a request form to pay an NPE fee for 200 php. Complete your application form together with the receipt and a photocopy of your prc license as well.

I'm scheduled to take an exam on January 21, 2012 1pm at the ERC (emergency room conference, just go there right after your application, it's on the right side of the main building, near the bloodbank/laboratory, pass through it and there you go. ) Mortality rate is 85-90%, the guy nurse who accommodated us told that we should be focusing on FUNDAMENTALS OF NURSING. not on MS, pedia, chn, etc... He said that the exam is really BASIC but these basic stuffs were usually the one overlooked by nurses. After you pass the NPE, all things will easily fall into it's places if you do your best. They said that it is for manpooling purposes, if you pass, you should wait for 2-3 years to be deployed. If you are a UP-PGH nursing graduate, priority will be given for you upon passing he NPE exam ( they usually wait for 7-8 months to be deployed). Someone told me that there is backer system there but it doesn't give you an assurance to be employed as a staff nurse. Instead, i just hasten your deployment process..

about the reuirements, just bring 200 php, photocopy of prc license and accomplished application form...no more other requirements. Study hard! :)

About the APCN training program of PGH, you should go there at nov 28 a 9am in the morning to get a dean's form that is to be signed by your university coordinator. A staff nurse told me that we should be really patient to get a dean's form... there are few applicants who went there at 10pm the night before the release of the dean's form just to have it... after the release of the dean's form, there are still more requirements to be posted. :smokin:

Hi, are you referring to the NPE for the Nurse 1 position? You can get the form from the transient nursing services office. From the main gate, walk towards the PGH main building, from the lobby(without entering the building) turn right and walk towards the Dorm in the paid parking area. The Nursing Services Office is the room nearest the highway. They are accommodating applicants from 8am-12pm only so be there within that time frame.

Good afternoon :)

I'd just like to ask if the NPE is for staff nurse or for the APCN? And I don't have my license yet, only my claim stub. Will NPE application forms still be available until next week? thanks. :)

NPE is for the staff nurse position (manpooling) and if you pass the whole hiring process, you'll be deployed in 2-3 years maximum. If you are a upm student, you'll be hired for 7-8 months. 85-90% is the mortality rate, In addition, the exam is basic but is really hard, even few upm applicants were failing to pass.

Thanks for the reply suswot. I have also read in this thread it will take a long time before someone can be employed in up-pgh. I also want to take the exam. From the posts I read, I wanted to review really well so I can get in. I'll be claiming my license this coming week and will be going to pgh for the npe form.

Goodluck to those who will take the exam :)

Is the 2-3 years for real or just an exaggeration? PHC is 2-3 years as well. I guess this is the trend in major tertiary hospitals.

It's for real..

Hi Good day everyone!

Im new here just want to ask if they now accepting for nurse applicants (manpower polling) thank you in advance! God bless us all!

suswot · Nov 27, 2011

Hello vang3. As I said before, they are on CONTINUOUS HIRING (but a staff nurse from up-pgh that next year, probably they might have a temporary freeze hiring because it's election..so as early as tomorrow, I think you should pass your application form.)

Tomorrow's the release of dean's form for the apcn training.
