hi i just want to ask... do you know any tertiary hospitals in metro manila or in southern luzon that hires very fast or you get a quick reply to them without any payment because as far as i've contacted hospitals in metro manila(from famous to not so famous) they stop hiring or they'll tell that they are hiring but there is no response to your submitted resume...or there are some hospitals that if you want to be trained youll goin to pay as of now the largest training fee for a nurse to be trained is 10,000pesos for 3 mos...i'm just wondering where do the almost 40,000 RN/year go...

well, most of us are just staying at home, waiting to be hired. some are working at call centers and other places that have no connection to the medical field. i also tried applying in hospitals, known and unknown, private and public. i guess we just have to be patient and persistent in applying and looking for jobs..

Re: work for nurses....??????

yup...lern to the virtue of waiting! we're on the same boat!
lets just wait and be patient! lol

Re: work for nurses....??????

its hard to find work as a nurse nowadays.
while waiting, why not read nursing materials for you to have an edge?

just be patient and don't forget to pray

Re: work for nurses....??????

yessss, hv patience and be persistent and also, it would be nice to have a continous education or masteral. hmmm, that is what i'm doing so i could still surround myself with nurses and could still feel that i'm still alive. whaaaaaaaaaa.... because it is quite depressing to just wait at home. grrrrrrrr

Re: work for nurses....??????

That's the spirit!!! Dont lose hope! There's a reason for everything!!!

Re: work for nurses....??????

yes,that's what I have been doing,reading my nursing books.I diverted my depression in finding a nursing job in studying besides I missed school days.but until when are we going to do this..anyway,lets not lose hope!

Re: work for nurses....??????

I've also diverted my depression into something productive like reading review books for NCLEX and other nursing articles and stuffs...

Re: work for nurses....??????

hi! I still don't have a reply from the hospitals that I applied with. It's really advantageous if you know someone in the hospital that will help you get hired. If you don't know someone, you have to be patient and wait for several years to get hired. I thought we are also experiencing shortage of nurses. I never thought this is really happening to all nurses in the Philippines!!!!! Hope retrogression will be lifted soon.

Re: work for nurses....??????

hi! i think you'd better enjoy your freedom while still waiting for work..before i was like you all cant wait too work..because of my exitement to start work...beleive me youll miss the days that you have to stay at home and just relax..when you start working in the hospital its like you dont have a life outside of it..youll be emotionnaly, physically and mentally exhusted
