Fresh pinoy nurse that needs some advice!!

Published

Hi to everyone!!

I am 21 years of age, I just passed the recent Philippine Nursing Licensure Examination. Of course I am planning to work in foreign countries to be able to support my family. But unfortunately I have no relatives from Foreign countries which I think would be harder to compared to others who have relatives from other countries. Since I am still a Novice in this such chosen profession, I would gladly appreciate your knowledge/experiences/suggestions and advice regarding the Following:

1.) What Country/State should I go for??

2.) Can someone give me a Link about what Countries requires NCLEX only and what requires CGFNS only...

3.) Is it true that most Foreign Hospitals prefers or does not require any experiences as a Staff Nurse from Philippines?

4.) If ever I have already completed the requirements for application, how should I apply as a foreign nurse? is it through online? what are other ways on applying to foreign countries?

Advance Thanks guys! ^^,

Hi. It is important that you have at least 1, but normally 2 years experience before applying in a foreign hospital. Have your BLS,ACLS,IVT first, then apply in a hospital here in the Philippines. It is not true that foreigner prefers Filipino nurse without experience.

hi to everyone!!

i am 21 years of age, i just passed the recent philippine nursing licensure examination. of course i am planning to work in foreign countries to be able to support my family. but unfortunately i have no relatives from foreign countries which i think would be harder to compared to others who have relatives from other countries. since i am still a novice in this such chosen profession, i would gladly appreciate your knowledge/experiences/suggestions and advice regarding the following:

1.) what country/state should i go for?? depends on what country you wish to work in, what sort of life you want

2.) can someone give me a link about what countries requires nclex only and what requires cgfns only... nclex is only for the us, canada has crne, australia requires bridging program or something similar

3.) is it true that most foreign hospitals prefers or does not require any experiences as a staff nurse from philippines? canada, uk, and probably a few others will require experience

4.) if ever i have already completed the requirements for application, how should i apply as a foreign nurse? is it through online? what are other ways on applying to foreign countries? depends on the country but if the us then your employer has to apply, canada you can apply as long as you meet requirements, australia depends on which visa you apply for to whether you need employer or not

advance thanks guys! ^^,

okies guys!! I guess I should have an experience here in Philippines and do some trainings like ACLS, IVT and etc...

So, should I go on for those experience and trainings first?? or rather go for NCLEX, IELTS and other exams then after passing those exams then I go for experience/trainings??

I find hard to apply even as a Nurse Trainee/Volunteer here in Philippines specifically Cebu City... x_x

NCLEX is only good for the US so only do it if the US is your goal.
