PGH feedback (continued)

Published

Hi, I took the initiative to start another thread about PGH since the first thread closed. My dear colleagues please keep posting your inquiries, updates and what not about PGH in this thread.

Thanks! :speechless:

It would be:

1. Getting a Dean's form

2. Submitting the requirements and getting the exam schedule

3. Taking the exam

4. Waiting for the list of qualified applicants (it would take a week at most after the exam; there will be 50 qualified applicants included on the list and around 5 applicants on the waiting list)

5. Paying the full training fee before the specified date to secure a slot (if some of the qualified applicants won't be able to pay the training fee for some reasons, DNET will give a chance to the people on the waiting list to secure the remaining slot)

during our time, we didn't had an interview.

You can do that if you are applying for the staff nurse post for manpower pooling however if you are applying for APCN then you may need to wait next year to get a dean's form from the DNET for the next APCN batch.

Do you think there are still available dean's form for the APCN?

I don't think so nurses_care_2012. APCN forms are only given once per six months and it is very limited in number, you may need to wait for the next APCN batch.

mikeru22! Congrats you got your Dean's form. I also went there yesterday hahaha was #6.

i was expecting loads of people because of what i read in the previous thread but turned out to be the opposite. To all those aspiring to enter the APCN program, goodluck to all of us! God bless :D

Oh you must be that guy lols. I remember you now. hehe. Goodluck to us haha. I never really intended to pursue it but I tried my luck getting the form. I was initially planning to go directly to RMMC to submit my RN Heals application but I stayed in PGH to get my dean's form.

I forgot to mention, APCN did increase their fee in regards to the program. Which surprised me a lot.

That's right. It will be 14, 900 this time. I'm done securing my requirements for APCN but if I will be included in RN Heals 4, I would prefer that than APCN.

It's a 50-item exam, around 40 to 45 items multiple choice and 5 to 10 points computation (can't remember exactly :down:) to be answered for 30 mins. topics are funda and MS.. It was the similar exam that was described in the previous thread. There's no enumeration part. I was part of the 32nd batch.. am not sure if there are changes.

Thank you JDSC for sharing, I appreciate it. 50 Items in a short span of time yay. It's like the qualifying exam in St. Luke's. Geez. You won't have time to think too much about a certain item. You need to move on to the next one as soon as you can before the time's up.
