Anyone here worked at PGH before? Looks like they're hiring. While waiting out the retrogression, might as well, right?

nars 1019,

I'll be praying for you as well.. Don't loose hope..

@nars1019,

,,thank you.

Hi gambutrol!

You really inspired me with your story. I am also an English Instructor in a Korean company. I tried to apply in PGH and St. Lukes but unfortunately I didn't make it... I was so upset that I stopped trying to apply then... But I got envy with my friend she made it in St. Lukes and she's now a staff there... Anyway thanks for the encouragement

Don't loose hope.. You know what I have a batchmate in the orientation wherein she flanked the the exam for the first time and re-took it.. she passed it on the 2nd take..

Thanx a lot gambutrol! You are a real inspiration of our fellow nurses like me. God bless you.

i took the exam at September 2008, got the result at November 2008 and had the panel interview last january 2009.. i passed the interview already and i am waiting for pgh to call me for the much awaited final interview.

@xfactorgirl and others who have passed the panel interview and awaiting for the final interview at PGH:

I suggest you update your resume and submit your recently-attended seminars/workshops certificates to the Nursing Service Office at the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) so they'll know that you are still interested. I just updated mine yesterday. Good luck to us and God bless! :wink2:

Just an update for those Registered Nurses who are interested to apply for Nurse I position at the Philippine General Hospital.

The Division of Nursing Research and Development (DNRD) is currently accepting applicants for Nursing Attendant Position but it is only applicable for bonafide registered midwives; college graduates who have undergone caregiver courses of at least 6 months and have passed the subprofessional civil service examinations.

Those who are undergraduate and graduate nurses are not qualified for this announcement. All registered nurses are advised to WAIT for the call for submission of credentials for NURSES. As of this date, the manpower pool of processed nurse applicants is at 250. Processing of nurse applicants will only resume once the level of the manpower pool reaches below 100. Rest assured that you will all be informed and updated in this matter.

this is a very interesting post.. helpful indeed. i tried to post a new thread but i think i did something wrong.. :zzzzz:heartbeat anyway, I learned that UP-PGH will be having a 4-month training course this august. im wondering if this would be an advantage for those who want to get hired as nurse 1 there? thank you.. as ive said im very much interested.. very.. quite the most prestigious tertiary hospital indeed... :nurse::nurse::nurse:

Yes, UP-PGH has a 4-month (August 24 to December 4, 2009) Clinical Nursing Enhancement Program (CNEP) which costs Php 5,000 and is ONLY offered for registered nurses who have limited and/or not actively practiced the profession for five (5) consecutive years.

The CNEP is different from the 6-month Advancement Program in Clinical Nursing (APCN) which is offered for registered nurses who want to gain clinical experience at the Philippine General Hospital.

I'm not sure about it but what I know from other nurse applicants is that undergoing training at the PGH does not guarantee you a slot in the Nurse Proficiency Exam (NPE). My girlfriend who has undegone the 6-month APCN training last year still had to queue early in the morning at the DNRD office just to submit her requirements and get the much coveted slot for the NPE.

In my own experience, I had to queue at around 5 in the morning at the PGH lobby just to get a slot for the submission of requirements.

After submission of requirements, an applicant should pass the NPE and then be scheduled for a panel interview. If she/he passes the panel interview, then she/he must wait for the final interview with the Deputy Director of Nursing Services. After that, he/she becomes part of the manpower pool and waits for deployment.

Long, tedious process of waiting...waiting...waiting... :yawn:

i spoke with someone from their training department. He informed me that you can only pass application for CNEP if you are a graduate 2004 and below. THe next APCN will be on Feb 2009.
