i totally agree with the poster above. i had a hard time understanding american english during the first year living here as well. it took me a while to comprehend what they really mean, it was very frustrating. for somebody who wants to work here in the u.s., i suggest reading books, or magazines that is written in english, preferably by american authors. if you come across a word that is not familiar to you, try to look it up from the dictionary, or thesaurus, also pay attention to its proper pronounciation. there are many english words we commonly used in the philippines that are not used in american english anymore, so be aware of that too. another way to improve your conversational english is to practice by reading loudly, and listen to yourself. talk to your close friends in english, it might benefit both of you. don't worry about the accent for now, that is not the priority, however, the most important fact is that you are able to communicate and get your point across, and in return, your patient will be able to understand you. as a nurse, you will need to communicate with not only your patients, but with other non-filipino speaking co-workers, m.d.'s, social workers, physical theraphist, dieticians, and patients family members.good communication skills is a must for nurses. i still mix up my " f's", and my "p's", but i am working on it !!!

You might want to check with NKTI in East Ave. Q.C. They offer good training in Dialysis.

These dialysis trainings are not credited for work abroad. Personally know people who have gone through this particular training. One applied for the US and it wasn't credited and told him to undergo another training w/ them for free. The other applied in an agency here in the Phil. that seeks this particular position for work abroad and said that training alone will not help and they want actual experience instead of 2 years.

So, unless you are going to work as a dialysis nurse here in the Phils. for some time we do not recommend this "training". Doesn't make sense to go to these trainings if somebody already says that it isn't credited in the states and that the dialysis centers there would want to give you free training regardless if you have experience or not.

This is exactly the same thing re: PN schools in the Phil. They will keep saying that you can work abroad w/ the PN degree but it's totally false.

Any training in a specialty area that you get in your country will not be acceptable in the US for consideration of training in that area, unless you have significant paid work experience in that area.

Save your money...............

having a work experience will help you boost your work skills and confidence. however, if you can find a job there where you can actually get paid, that is much, much better. having a work experience always adds bulk in resume. many hospitals in the u.s. don't require work experience, but some do accepts applications from nurses who have at least a year of work experience.:wink2:

im "training" right now in a med/surg ward. it's been a month and i think it helped me be confident in dealing with patients and i learned more medications (which is the greatest part of it, i think). this training may not help that much as people say when i work abroad in the future but i cant deny that i have been better compared to how i was before this.

i was able to handle difficult patients, especially those who are doctors, or nurses... mmm i learned how to manage my time especially if there are lots of patients in our floor. i also learned how to organize my work... especially when administering medications to patients that are due to be given at the same time... :) stuffs like that..
