Re: Hello, and a few questions
Yes, you can drop by the nursing office to inquire regarding volunteer works.. Another thing, there are several hospitals that offer clinical trainings, but with fee ofcourse.. Here are some of the hospitals that I know:
1. Lung Center of the Philippines- 3 mos trainings: 5k
2. National Kidney Transplant Institute (NKTI)- 4 mos: 7k
3. Makati Medical Center- 3 mos: 10k
But there is no guarantee that they will hire you.. I have friends who have undergone training in Lung Center and NKTI.. According to them, only the top 10 best performing trainees are the only ones who are absorbed by the hospital.. Only certificates are given to those who did not belong to the said list..
ACLS- Advanced Cardiac Life Support.. It includes the use of equipments and medicines (e.g. defibrillator, ecg monitor, epinephrine, atrophine, etc.) in order to prolong life of a patient during emergency situations.. Philippine Heart Center offers ACLS courses, but BLS training and Basic ECG and Arrhythmia Recognition training are the pre-requisites before you could enroll yourself in that program.. I have undergone those trainings too, and believe me, you will learn a lot from ECG and ACLS trainings.. The ECG training is 2 days while the ACLS is 3 days..
For other questions, feel free to post them here..
