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?
What would be the chances if you are already a Reserve Force 2nd Lt. when you join the nurse corps? Assuming you are also a registered nurse by profession?
AMZER: Can somebody tell me about the next PAFROPP exam this year? I wanted to be a flight nurse..
I am a Nurse Corps Officer...regarding your inquiry on being a Flight nurse..sorry but you have to be in the Nurse Corps before applying or being chosen for that position. You need to be in the service for a few years before being trained in PAF. There are about 1-2 slots open for us every 3-5 years only...so, if you want the opportunity..apply in the NC first.
i was planning to join the nurse corps since last year. I got above 80% NLE grade so i tried my luck and inquired for the position.I called to their posted number and when i told them that i would like to apply for the position the lady asked me "*****************"i was shocked, though i already heard bout this PALAKASAn sytem its still shocking to experience it haha..so instead i am now planning to apply as volunteer nurse in any hospital,preferably tertiary and hopefully after 1 or 2 years apply for abroad..poor nurses..we study hard,been through lot of expenses and now we can't get an acceptable job here in our own country,,shame on you P-NOY!!!!
hmm....the palakasan system...oh no dear, we don't really have much of that in the NC...I knew of applicants who are sons/daughters of generals and the likes...but if they did not pass the exam and the series of interviews they're out..
we apparently need to get endorsed by a military officer or an enlisted personnel so that someone makes sure that our papers are being processed..YES, having someone you know from the inside is a big help but it's not completely the basis of you being accepted..upon taking the exam, it will take you about 5 interviews and a number or exams/tests that you need to pass before you are appointed for training..that will take you about 1 1/2 - 3 years of waiting...
But of course the waiting is worth it... gross salary of about 32k..net salary 24k plus benefits..magna carta.. upon entry for training, you get to take home about 28k every month.. and you get to travel around the Philippines..although, it's really not an easy job
I have batchmates who does not have "endorsers", but they're Board Top Notchers or has an average of 83 and up..
hello, i am a new nurse, i want to apply as a military nurse however they said that the opening will be next year, are there anyone who can tell me the dates or if there is any update for it, thank you, i appreciate your help.:)
not to dampened your spirits guys but the desk officer said that they will not accept any applications until the first quarter next year and they are still processing those who have applied last 2009. but if you really want this very much, applied ASAP once they have opened again their applications (april or may next year), and try to familiarize yourselves with military hospital setting (i highly recommend Vluna- they offer training program)
they don't require you to speak english during the interviews but remember that you need to impress the panel of senior NC officers who will conduct the interview. being scheduled for an interview means that you passed the written exam. only a few pass the exam so don't waste your opportunity.
with regards to your height problem, i suggest that you call the OTCN if they will allow you to apply.
