Re: Lung Center of the Philippines: Basic Skills Training

@bettyboop09 -- hahaha. AGAIN, i didn't have connections/backers. i myself was surprised! i find your reactions very normal, believe me, i understand because i've tried applying at many tertiary hospitals but still no luck. so i opted for this Lung Center BST instead. i dont know why others weren't accepted for it, i don't know why others were told to wait. when i first went there to inquire, they were very snobbish but when i returned with the complete requirements, they were accomodating. they even told me to take it seriously, no more than 6 absences i was also very straightforward, composed and persistent but with a smile.

my problem is after the training.. i gotta land a REAL job! i hope this BST somehow gives me an edge. but im not relying on it entirely. there so much competition

Re: Lung Center of the Philippines: Basic Skills Training

Re: Lung Center of the Philippines: Basic Skills Training

at r0b0c0p who sent me a private message but i am not allowed to send you one i think because of your setting. i will reply here instead:

no. payment is the last step. they also wont mention it unless you ask. i didn't ask right away because ive already checked the fee on their website before going there. they didn't ask me for the payment until after all the requirements have been completed and the after xray & PPD results.

oh ok jessnextdoor. good luck anyway.

Re: Lung Center of the Philippines: Basic Skills Training

@ jessnextdoor: May I know what your board rating is? That is, if you don't mind telling it. It might be the reason why they were very accomodating to you and accepted your application on the spot.

Maybe they have a policy that if you have an average of 80% above, they will accept you, no questions asked...

Just a hunch though. =)

Re: Lung Center of the Philippines: Basic Skills Training

@ jeryl - hi jeryl, that may be the case, though i've never thought it would be the top priority for trainings such as this.

im a bit confused as to why nursing training departments would be choosy or would want to screen those whom they would be allowing to undergo this Basic Skills Training because it's just training, right? no assurance that we'd be hired after the practicum. and there's a 6k fee already.. *sigh*

thanks for the insight. im learning a lot from everyone in this forum
