I am currently a 3rd year nursing student studying in UPHR-Las Pinas. I need help researching for information about Military Nursing in the Philippines. Can anyone please these questions for me? Thanks!!
1. What are the steps needed to become a military nurse in the Philippines (ie, legal requirements)?
2. Are there regulations on grooming and dressing?
3. What are the advantages of military nursing?
4. What are the disadvantages of military nursing?
5. What common challenges do military nurses encounter on daily basis?
6. Are there special equipment used in military wards?
7. What different positions are under Military Nursing?
For public information that military nursing career in the philippines involve the "PALAKASAN" system in which even if you are highly qualified for the position if there is no one will back up your application in which somebody in the AFP or government officials as "NINONG" you will have no chance of being considered as military nurse. That is why corruption in the AFP still exist because of this old and rotten system. Hopefully with the change of the new administration with the leadership of President Benigno Aquino this wrong practices will be eradicated.
good day.. i just took the qualifying exam of the nurse corps program and luckily i passed it though i was a bit confused because i thought that those with an 80% and above board rating will only take a 35 items exam... and they told me that my schedule for the interviews would be next year because of the large number of applicants.. oh well its a very lengthy process but at least my application is already on the list...
@remykun: i don't think that there's an online application for the nurse corps.. you really need to come personally to the ofice of the chief nurse for every transactions....
@johnjo I just passed the qualifying exam last February. My board rating is above 80% and was given the 35 item examination. Until now I am waiting for their text or call for my initial interview but they didn't tell me when that text or call would be. Did they really tell you that your initial interview would be next year 2012? Thanks.
hi, is there any altenative or consideration if you didn't meet the height requirements yet to are qualify in all remaining qualifications? My only problem is my height.. tnx
Hi everyone, I would like to ask if it is true that those who have a board rating of 80 above that passed the exams and trainings are the only ones who will have a rank or will be an officer in the nurse corps, and those that have 80 below but also did passed the exams and trainings will just be an enlisted men in the nurse corps??? please I need info because I aspire to be a military nurse and I want to be just like those officers (2Lt/1Lt) who are in service.... thank you very much
I could still remember my research before when I wass still in College about the Military Nurses; it is entitled, "Job satisfaction based on Two-Factor theory and the Clinical performance of the military nurses", our respondents of course were the military nurses in V. Luna Medical Center, based from the results, what drives a military nurse to work efficient and harder is the salary and benefits.
this really helps...i really2 love to join the nurse corps..but i use glasses with a grade of 1.75, and my height is 5'1.5...do i still have a chance???...=(
