  1. General Discussion about Filipino RNs currently working in the U.S.

    IseeU_rn replied to lawrence01's topic in Philippines

    Enjoy your work..... play often. I know most came here to earn money so they can send some to their families back home. But don't forget to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Do the things you weren't...

  2. any nurse practitioner here in the Phils?

    IseeU_rn replied to mtjmnov's topic in International Nursing

    I think it depends. The nurses that I work with, work nights if you count the differential and the years of experience they have.. it might be more than what they will make as

  3. how did you learn to deal with blood, et. al.?

    IseeU_rn replied to nrswnabee's topic in International Nursing

    Goodluck! I remembered when I worked with the big people (ie, adults) I used to gown up, double glove and wear a mask when I had to perform a "code brown"... talk about contact precautions, huh?!...

  4. any nurse practitioner here in the Phils?

    IseeU_rn replied to mtjmnov's topic in International Nursing

    Hi I'm not a nurse practitioner, but work with some and have (still am) been considering going back to school for one. A nurse practitioner degree can be obtained by going back to school for 2+ years...

  5. i need help in choosing my nursing research topic

    IseeU_rn replied to deidrake_1031's topic in International Nursing

    IseeU_rn replied to jitan06's topic in International Nursing

  7. Is the Grass Really Greener Stateside? Honestly.

    IseeU_rn replied to Lone Stranger's topic in Philippines

    The grass is ALWAYS greener at the other side of the fence. We always want what we can't have and when we obtain it, we want more. It's human nature. I have never worked in the Philippines as a nurse,...

  8. how did you learn to deal with blood, et. al.?

    IseeU_rn replied to nrswnabee's topic in International Nursing

    Blood is easier to deal with compared to other fluids, i think. With body fluids and blood, tissue, bone, and/or fat that are exposed (wait until you take care of patients with decubitus ulcers) when...

  9. Sticking 'Em the First Time

    IseeU_rn replied to Lone Stranger's topic in International Nursing

    1) pick the lesser of two evils. you can put that iv or listen to your doctor's and oncoming nurse's loud, shouting voice and causing harm to your patient because you didn't put that iv so he can get...

  10. too old to be a nurse....

    IseeU_rn replied to nwb's topic in International Nursing

    Never too old to be a new nurse. I went to nursing school with 3 -40 yr olds and they had old careers before they jumped into nursing. Plus, I work with nurses who have been in nursing for a while and...

  11. Sorry that I have to be so blunt about this issue

    IseeU_rn replied to suzanne4's topic in International Nursing

    John, I know you meant well, however I feel like you didn't have to apologize or even ask for mercy for the sake of others. You didn't do anything wrong. I don't think anyone did anything wrong, it's...

  12. Sorry that I have to be so blunt about this issue

    IseeU_rn replied to suzanne4's topic in International Nursing

    I've seen issues with online conversations a million times: miscommunication. Yes, the internet is a good way to communicate but it's not the best way. I've learned not to take everything too...

  13. Any information on Foster City?

    IseeU_rn replied to suzanne4's topic in California Nursing

    Are you talking about the Foster City in the bay area?? If you are I live pretty close (Palo Alto). It's a nice area, windy at times especially if you live close to the bridge (San Mateo Bridge)....

  15. book for leisure time?

    IseeU_rn replied to newguard's topic in International Nursing

    One more, My sister's keeper by Jodi Picoult is a very good one. It's fiction but it deals with the ethical issues of "cloning" and selective conception. A young girl was conceived for the purpose of...

  16. book for leisure time?

    IseeU_rn replied to newguard's topic in International Nursing

    I don't know if it's available in MMla but "The Spirit Catches You and You Fall" is a good book about Western Medicine meating with other cultural beliefs (the Hmong specifically). Also, "Wit" by...

  18. Moving to the Philppines for nursing education?

    IseeU_rn replied to Bluee's topic in International Nursing

    i think the account that was given to us is not really a very good representation of what the Philippines is as a whole. You're right in the sense that child labor, prostitution, pollution,...

  19. Hello to all Pinoy and Pinay RNs from California

    IseeU_rn replied to cndynf's topic in International Nursing

  20. Moving to the Philppines for nursing education?

    IseeU_rn replied to Bluee's topic in International Nursing

  24. Moving to the Philppines for nursing education?

    IseeU_rn replied to Bluee's topic in International Nursing

    You're already here, why leave? People in the Philippines would probably trade to be in your shoes. Even though they say the admission is competitive, try to apply still. I recommend applying to more...

  25. Docs as nurses?

    IseeU_rn replied to nurse_MD's topic in International Nursing

    Why do people give ex-MDs a hard time when they want to switch to nursing? Is it because they feel that one is "downgrading" to nursing? That one is "selling out" to the phenomenon of migration...
