  5. To those who have taken both exams, w/c is harder: NLE or NCLEX?

  6. Delusional Thoughts/in Denial

    dizzydean replied to Aviationurse's topic in International Nursing

    I am an RN with a medical background & I have many friends who have successfully transitioned from the role of a doctor to that of a nurse without any problem. I believe that those you mention...

  10. Which is better reveiw center for nclex: Kaplan or Pentagon?

    dizzydean replied to Skates's topic in International Nursing

  11. Philippine Board of Nursing to stop Second Coursers from taking up Nursing

    dizzydean replied to mtreyes's topic in Philippines

  12. Attitudes of Second Coursers who are taking up Nursing in the Philippines

    dizzydean replied to bingowingo's topic in International Nursing

    Yes I understand, It is just my opinion that it's better not to lump people in a category or label people. I don't see why we can just say "nurses with attitude problems". It's this labeling that...

  14. Exploitation of Hospitals

    dizzydean replied to potatomasher's topic in International Nursing

    I agree on all counts. It's ridiculous that a volunteer nurse has to pay a certain amount of fee for her/him to give voluntary service. The government should definitely take measures to regulate the...

  15. Attitudes of Second Coursers who are taking up Nursing in the Philippines

    dizzydean replied to bingowingo's topic in International Nursing

    I don't know why we should label a certain group & generalize the attributes of that particular group. Whether 1st courser or 2nd courser let's not generalize. It just breeds

    dizzydean replied to nursemich's topic in Philippines

    First you have to clear out the distractions. Inform people at the place you live in to understand that it is important not to disturb you while studying. If possible, go to a place to study where...
