Hi everyone, can I ask if there are PH nurses currently employed in Dubai about how you got the certificate of good standing from DHA? As I have read in the instructions from DHA, they will be sending the COGS via email instead of a sealed envelope. Did you have to call up the DHA office regarding this or printed in out and had it notarized instead? Thank you so much!

I think all documents that are printed/photocopied must be notarized/certified true copy.

Hello everyone! Anyone who's applying for the IRON program at ETEA? I need information regarding the immunology/serology checklist. Thank you!

[mgjuanRN]

Hi sir it was actually my initial plan however, when i checked for the serology test prices here in the philippines it was very expensive that is why ive decided to take first the vaccine then proceed to serology..sir if you dont mind, do you have any idea if the polio vaccine being given in the healthcenter for babies are applicable to adults as well. Its so hard to find polio vaccine here..

I am also working on my immunization and serology at the moment. It's really expensive and I am considering several hospitals and clinics. I am applying for the IRON program at ETEA.

Hi we are on the same boat. Im also trying to search a way less expensive serology tests to comply with etea. However, only few hospitals were offering such tests and it was indeed very expensive. I hope we can share notes regarding our search for a cheaper serology test..hihih

Anyone going to ACN for May 2017 intake? :)

Hi @paul_rn! Did you use any agency to enroll in ACN or is it just on your own? I'm also planning to enroll in ACN, I'm just waiting for my LoE.

I went to NKTI the other day and they only facilitate 4 tests and it cost Php9,700(qoutation only).LOL Try to contact Hi-Precision Lab. They offer serology for MMR. By the way, do you know if ETEA requires both IgG and IgM? Thanks.
