  1. New Yorker looking to attend nursing school in The Philippines

    rn4ever? replied to Ryan NYC's topic in Philippines

    I think that so much has already been said about the alleged decline of the quality of the Nursing education in the Philippines. I still think that it's hard to generalize because one's success is...

  2. New Yorker looking to attend nursing school in The Philippines

    rn4ever? replied to Ryan NYC's topic in Philippines

    I don't think that being a foreign graduate alone can be a problem by itself. There was a "mass exodus" of Filipino Nurses to the US during the 60s-90s, and most of these nurses are still actively...

  3. Cultural conflicts between American born and Filipino nurses

    rn4ever? replied to numlinium's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think that it doesn't matter what language they are speaking in. If you're not included in the conversation, I think it is reason enough to mind your own business. Because if they want to speak...

  4. How likely is it as a new nursing grad I'd have to work nights?

    rn4ever? replied to honeymist's topic in General Nursing

    While most openings are on evenings and nights, there are still units that would hire a new grad to work the morning shift---it all depends on the need at that

  6. Pregnancy and nursing

    rn4ever? posted a topic in General Nursing

    Anybody familiar with FMLA? They said you can get 6 weeks off for a normal delivery and 8 weeks off for a c-section but maximum time off is 12 weeks. Does that mean that one can max out 12 weeks if...

  7. New Yorker looking to attend nursing school in The Philippines

    rn4ever? replied to Ryan NYC's topic in Philippines

    My questions are this... 1. Is there an age restriction to enter the nursing program in any of these schools for a foreigner? -Most Nursing schools don't have any age restrictions. I had a classmate...

  8. Pregnant Nurses and the flu shot

    rn4ever? posted a topic in General Nursing

    For those Nurses who were pregnant (or are pregnant currently) during the flu season, did you get the regular flu shot or the preservative-free/thimerosal-free kind? Just curious. Will appreciate your...

  9. Do Filipino Nurses Need Remedial English Classes Before Going Overseas?

    rn4ever? replied to Daly City RN's topic in International Nursing

    It depends on the person. One cannot generalize. If she knows for a fact that she is already competent and confident, there is no use in attending remedial classes. But if you know in your heart...

  10. Where have all the LPN's gone?

    rn4ever? replied to rayk1021's topic in General Nursing

    In my place of work, I was told that they were given a "two-weeks' notice" and were told that they will no longer be utilized. Their last week of work is this week. Some have worked there for...

  14. Terminated after applying to another department...Is this legal???

    rn4ever? replied to DMCRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry all these happened to you---but welcome to the real world of nursing! I think with this experience, a couple of things could be learned. First, be careful about sharing information at...

    rn4ever? replied to tolerantgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Ideally you should. But unfortunately, that's always not the case---especially if they are short-staffed in another unit and no one else could

  17. For RNs who worked while pregnant, when did you take off from work, and for how long?

    rn4ever? posted a topic in General Nursing

    For those who worked while pregnant, when did you take your leave? Also, how long can you be off from work? What is FMLA and short-term disability? Is it true that FMLA allows one to have 12 weeks of...

  18. Which is better? Study nursing in the Philippines or here?

    rn4ever? replied to bjames_ging's topic in International Nursing

    I think B.S.N. in the Philippines will be five years soon. Just follow your heart and make sure that your Nursing program is a legitimate one. With some US nursing graduates being unable to find a...

    Any one of you who took the NCSBN Online review? What scores or % did you get in the quizzes? Was it a good predictor of passing the NCLEX exam? Any comments?

  22. I thought Retrogression was in Effect!

    rn4ever? replied to Neveranurseagain's topic in General Nursing

    That may just be another rumor. Unless it's actually lifted, that's the time I will believe it. But at present, there is still retrogression. With the hard economic times at present, I don't think...

  23. Fed Up With People Saying There Is a Shortage

    rn4ever? replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe this should be clarified---some facilities in the US are short-staffed with Nurses---but not all places and States are. Also, even if a certain place doesn't have enough nurses, it doesn't mean...

  24. If You were Me, What Will You Choose?

    rn4ever? replied to gianphilippines's topic in International Nursing

    If I were in your shoes, if I won't be assured that I'd be 100% absorbed in that government hospital, I wouldn't take that offer---especially now that you have a permanent and full-time job. What if...
