Have you heard of Private Duty Nurses in St. Luke's Global City?

Published

I caught wind about this group that is hiring experienced nurses to work privately inside the hospital. You know...for the exclusively rich and/or critical patients who wants one-on-one care. Can anybody please tell me if this is true? I went to this site to see if a thread is already on board for my questions. None. Has anybody tried to apply here? What are the requirements? Any tips?

I'm tired of extensive working hours in the hospital and still earning meager salary. This way I earn a lot more:twocents::twocents: daw and I still get to practise my profession in a tertiary hospital!:nurse: I don't want home care nursing. Does anybody know the rates?:twocents: Is being a PDN a good choice?:up: What about if I still want to go abroad:confused:...will my experience as a PDN (in-patient) suffice?

Hope somebody can help me, please.:idea:

CastaRN, how about for RNs like me who hasn't got experience in any hospital after graduating and passing the PNLE? As you know, the backer system in the country sucks. Not to mention that not so many hospitals are hiring or even accepting volunteers. Will they train me too? I'd like to apply and try my luck. Please respond. Thanks! :angel:

@ Khaye you could reach their coordinator at Landline *******. You wont regret it... Im doing practically the same chores as when I was in the ICU...and getting paid THIS TIME AROUND! hehe... hope you get thru! See ya.

@ Sugar plum.....I dont know how you can be hired. Even if u get hired, i don't think ull be confident enuf to handle patients by urself. You wont get training on the job per se, coz 1 isto 1 ratio and you need to perform with no possibility of asking someone how to do stuff. Staff nurses wouldn't give u the time of day coz they know ur being paid A LOT to know already how to read CVP, GCS, etc... I suggest u have experience 1st then apply again.

the best way to know the PDN contact number for SLMC is to call their NSO and ask for the number of their President. They'll be glad to help unemployed nurses.

Sorry sugar plum....this is kinda one place you can't learn on the job. You gotta have experience when you get into sumthin like this coz your gonna be alone. You'll call the shots and your patients will highly depend on you. Monitoring Q30min for critical patients is normal. There is nobody to turn to for help...either you know what to do or u dont...sorry..
