Re: AFP medical center RN residency

1103alym: THANKS! I still have 2 more months to go and so far so good. I really learned and is still continuing to learn a lot of basic nursing skills (which I never encountered in nursing school) and my confidence level as a nurse really improved. I can do a lot of procedures on my own already (e.g. catheterization, IV insertion, suctioning, tracheostomy care, mixing of medications, NGT feeding, lavage, IM/ID/SQ injections, use of infusion pumps etc.) I am also very fortunate to have been assigned in an area where aside from working with the nicest staff, the patients are toxic! Hehe. Meaning I have the chance to learn a lot. Some of my co-residents complain that they rarely do procedures in their area of duty. Are you planning to train there as well? You should give it a try like I did. I never expected to qualify (since I don't know anyone) but I did. Good luck to all of us!

elocin06: our skills test was done after passing the exam, interview and finishing all of the lectures. I don't know if it will be the same for the coming batch. Don't worry too much about the skills test. The preceptors are nice and you can even ask help from them. If I can remember correctly, we did NGT feeding, IV insertion, catheterization, enemas and...that's all I can remember for now. I'll get back to you when I have recalled it already. GOOD LUCK!

Re: AFP medical center RN residency

ilovetiggerbear: thank you very much for your help. i also dont know someone in th inside or i have backer, Hope I cna make it like you although there is only a little chance.. In skills exam, are there stills applicants who failed? thank you

Re: AFP medical center RN residency

ilovetigerdear: thanks again for the reply! good for you, at least your learning a lot! congrats! I'm planning to apply.. but from what Ive learned there's no more schedule for the qualifying exam, so maybe next time/batch, that could probably be early next year. By the way, you have mentioned that you're assigned in a toxic area, so most likely in a specialized one, so that lead me to ask you another question (sorry for that, just curious) .Does everyone get the chance to be rotated? Or it could be,one is set to stay in 1 area of assignment until completion of 6 months?
Thanks.

Re: AFP medical center RN residency

where could i find this hospital? address pls, thnx!

Re: AFP medical center RN residency

V.Luna Road, Quezon City
From QC City Hall/QC Circle, take a jeep going to Anonas then asked to be drop you off V.Luna Hospital/AFP Medical Center. Or alternately, you can take the Cubao-Kalayaan jeep then ask to drop you at V. Luna Road, you will see a Jolibee store then opposite of that is a white wall (that's the AFPMC's perimeter wall) just walk until you reach the gate then thats it.

Re: AFP medical center RN residency

During our batch, no one failed during the skills test. Although they kept warning us to do well or else we will be disqualified for the program. But no one got kicked out.
