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

I would like to ask those who passed their application at PGH. How long is the processing time? I know someone who works from that institution who happens to be a nurse (managerial position). My mom gave my name already and I was asked to pass my requirements. However, I am hesitant because as I have read from the previous post it take years before you could get hired.

Should I pursue? Is it worth the wait if ever? Do I have to undergo the training? Replies will be much appreciated. Thank you!

hi. im from the apcn batch 28 of up-pgh, from february 22 - august 9, 2010.

i don't have any idea regarding the basic skills training from other hospitals (in manila) but i assure you that you will learn from up-pgh (learn medical advancements through research and development, explore different medical cases that were common in pgh but actually rare in other institutions, adapt to different environment with various persons and personalities, refine nursing skills, knowledge and attitude; and neutralize viewpoints on life, happiness, success, pain, suffering and deacth)

actually, these were the reason why i joined the apcn. fortunately, i learned a lot.

try to ask more from others then, decide. :)

good luck and god bless!

how many months is the didactic? are you referring to didactic lectures? on the first day, we only had our orientation regarding hospital protocols and special lectures were given depending on the availability of the chief nurses of the various departments of up-pgh. clinical rotations were done every month on different wards of pgh, from charity to department of pay patient services.

is it true that the last three months you will be assigned to the icu of your choice? yes, but is not limited to icus of up-pgh (central icu, neuro icu, neurosurgery special care unit, micu, sicu) it also includes or complex, cardiac cath lab, hemodiaysis, and the department of emergency medical services.

when i can get dean form? can i get it from dnet's office anytime ? better call dnet regarding that and look for the program coordinator of apcn batch 30 before october this year. the dean's form are limited. during our time, 200 forms were distributed and only 50 of us were accepted. tel no. 524-0703/ 521-8450 loc 3915 i hope this line is still working.

are trainees hands on to the patient doing charting , iv insertion, giving meds etc... yes. i do also had the chance to handle foreign patients: 2 british nationals and one micronesian when i rotated in one of the paywards of up-pgh.

and last they say you need to pass the qualifying exam before you can register ... can you give me some tips on the topics i should review please please .... aim higher than just passing the qualifying exam because they do only accept 40-50 trainees per batch. as far as i can remember, it was a 50 item exam to be answered for 30 mins. just review your fundamentals, pharmacology, msn, mcn, ecg, disaster mgt, and onco nursing.

level i(novice) is on your first month of stay on pgh, you will be assigned to three - five patients

level ii (advance beginner) second to third month of stay, five to eight patient plus one intubated

level iii (competent) during the last three months, np ratio depends on the special area of choice

what are the special areas of apcn?? or complex, icus, hemodialysis, cardiac cath lab, and the department of emergency medical services

You can inquire at the Ugnayan ng Pahinungod inside PGH. They offer emergency room volunteer program but they are not in any way related to PGH's nursing service department.
