I graduated in 2006, took the exam in december and got my license in february 2007. i passed the CGFNS in the same year and had a 4 months training in a 276-bed capacity tertiary hospital. After that i worked as a customer service representative coz i felt like it would help me prepare for my IELTS exam which i did pass with a total bond score of 7.5, (no rating of below 7 in any subtest). I also have a dialysis training certificate and IV therapy certificate.
For 1 year and 2 mos i had been nursing a grandmother who had a stroke. I did the following tasks:
*IV insertion
*catheter replacement
*O2 administration
*suctioning of secretions
*V/S monitoring
*medication administration
*NGT feeding
*NGT insertion
*maintaining good/proper hygiene
*ROM exercises
Im eager to find a job coz my aunt who's supporting my grandmother's needs is starting to get broke. I've sent a lot of applications to different agencies but it's either they accept my applications and make me wait for nothing or they tell me straightforward that they cannot accept me for i never worked as a staff nurse in a hospital for at least a year.
Does anybody here know any hospital that hires nurses with the qualifications similar to that of mine?...
i hope you'd get to read my post and take time to give any feedback.
thanks.
