Lung Center of the Philippines: Basic Skills Training

Published

They are currently screening for Basic Skills Training in LCP. Has anyone tried this? Would you guys recommend this? This is a 3-month training: 1 month lecture and 2 months practicum. It costs 6,000 pesos.

Yes, in your first month, there will be a didactic lecture everyday, Mondays to Fridays only.

Unfortunately, I have just called them up earlier and the application for the batch of this year is already CLOSED.

Let's just wait for the schedule for Year 2011.

u paid them to train you not to scold you. if they want to scold you then do it some other place other than the pt's room or where no one can hear you. you will feel degraded when its infront of others.

I forgot to include the IVT license. if you don't have one yet, you can apply for IVT training at LCP. :)

hmm do you know much it cost for their IVT training?:confused:

Php2000 to the LCP cashier, then Php500 for the ANSAP IVT manual, & Php500 for the completion of IVT cases in LCP. There's another fee for the processing of IVT card after the completion of 3-3-2 cases.

a. Yes, the training should give you an edge in terms of professional growth but one should also be assertive in his endeavor.

b. Heard this from NTO, February 2011. Application for it would start this November. If possible, one should inquire personally rather than do phone inquiries for a BST slot.

c. It depends. LCP did hire nurses that have undergone and "excelled" in BST. Excelled is a relative term because a trainee should excelled in the didactics as well as in "skills" --this include "pr skills." :)

d. Abuse is such a strong term. BUT there were instances that some staff nurses were more easily impatient to the inadeptness of nurse trainees. I think it goes with the different personalities among the staff nurses ---some are more tactful, accommodating, and mild-mannered than others.

Yes it is humiliating to be "scolded in front of patients and students" [& even unprofessional on the part of the nurse staff] but a trainee should also be "thick skinned" when a situation warrants it. A trainee could also perhaps tactfully verbalized his sentiments on such situation. I could just imagine the reaction of the staff nurse if you say, "Mam/sir, with all due respect, please stop scolding me in front of the patient/students...I already feel embarrassed of my inadeptness...I am here to train, please help me learn with my dignity intact." :)

another questions

If I am a trainee there do I give meds, do I insert IV or do I just take vitals signs of the patients ?

I really need to know if the money is really worth it

What topic are usually included in the didactic phase of the training so that i could read in advance :yeah:?

Im really a bit scared because I know I am not that skillfull and experience nurse ...
