    Hi everyone. Does anyone know how long before an ATT (Authorization To Test) can be issued in NM and how long is it valid? Thanks and have a nice

  2. Clinical Instructors and lecturers with no hospital experience?

    rn4ever? replied to Libby_09's topic in Philippines

    I guess one question you should ask yourself too is if you're willing to shell out 30,000 (perhaps even higher) pesos a semester and be taught by someone with little (to no experience) and by someone...

  3. Clinical Instructors and lecturers with no hospital experience?

    rn4ever? replied to Libby_09's topic in Philippines

    Clinical instructors should have actual hospital experience as a Registered Nurse, plus all the other appropriate qualifications related to the job. You cannot teach what you don't know. It will be...

  4. Has Philippine nurse training changed over the years?

    rn4ever? replied to NurseCubanitaRN2b's topic in International Nursing

    I think that it is not fair to claim or say that graduates of yesteryears are better than new graduates of Philippine Nursing schools. Most of the schools that once produced qualified nurses are still...

  5. Patient claims abuse (sorry Long!)

    rn4ever? replied to core34's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a Psych unit too and sad to say, I have seen a couple of staff members being accused of such and such. Make sure you document, document, document! Did you write an incident report? Did you...

  6. PNA plea "INCREASE NEW NURSE HIRING"

    rn4ever? replied to Hoss's topic in International Nursing

    The way I see it, this is just a cycle. It happened before, it is happening again. In the 80s to 90s there was a "mass exodus" of RNs from the Philippines that headed to the US, Canada, and the Middle...

  7. To all foreign nurses in the US, will you retire in US or go back to your homeland?

    rn4ever? replied to dhel28's topic in International Nursing

    I'll cross the bridge when I get there. It's too early to tell. I am now a US Citizen but there's more than 30 years before I reach that retirement age. But I'm open to options and

  9. NEW PHILIPPINE PASSPORT have no signature field

    rn4ever? replied to 08rush's topic in International Nursing

    I am thinking that if you are here in the US, you can just go to the Philippine Embassy. You can always contact USCIS and ask about the possibility of having your new passport stamped with your...

  10. Riding a Motorcycle to Interview. Good Idea?

    rn4ever? replied to Speed Freak's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t think that the interviewer or employer needs to know what your mode of transportation is---I don't think it’s any of their business! As long as you are prompt, you dress appropriately and...

  11. New Mexico - National Screening Information

    rn4ever? replied to laochinti's topic in General Nursing

    In the many times that I have called their office, I had only one chance to speak to an actual person. Usually when I call, an answering machine greets me. But the nice thing there is if you leave...

  12. I do not want to go back

    rn4ever? replied to 1styearsucks's topic in General Nursing

    I understand how you feel. I remember when I started about two years ago, I almost quit three months into the job. I was overwhelmed and I felt that I had too much responsibilities and I was not that...

  13. Is green card needed for job as nurse's aide??

    rn4ever? replied to mousepotato66's topic in General Nursing

    After getting married, you can apply to get an EAD which would enable you to work even as an RN (as long as you already have the license in the state where you plan to work) and get an SSN. I know...

  14. Pinoy nurses: Canada's program 'exploitative'

    rn4ever? replied to griffon's topic in International Nursing

    People who apply as caregivers in Canada know what they are getting into. They have a thorough process and the paperwork clearly states what it's all about. You don't necessarily have to be a Nurse to...

  15. BSN license for immigrants?

    rn4ever? replied to dorkyalmonds's topic in International Nursing

    Before, an immigrant can omit taking the local Philippine board for Nursing and just take the NCLEX directly. However, based from my readings from this website (assuming they are true and correct), I...

  16. What are your positive experiences working with children/adolescents in a Psych unit?

    rn4ever? posted a topic in General Nursing

    They say that working as an RN in a Child/Adolescent Psych Facility could be a very challenging role (as with any type of Nursing), but I am curious, for those who have worked or are currently working...

  18. Getting Fired or Resign?

    rn4ever? replied to trustsupplyguy's topic in General Nursing

    trustsupplyguy, resigning from your job might not be an easy decision-----there will always be a part of you that would say "what if". But trust your instinct. Resigning would be a better option. As...

  19. Struggling with elective terminations of pregnancy

    rn4ever? replied to GoBabyGo's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Every person has their own beliefs and principles. If you think you cannot do it, I would suggest to find an employer elsewhere. Afterall, you wouldn't want to be in a situation wherein you will be...

  20. Canadian Immigrant Recently Took Nclex at Ca and Got License... Why?

    rn4ever? replied to ms_redroseatphil's topic in International Nursing

    Well, maybe the clerk issuing the license was new and wasn't so much familiar with cases like that. They might be strict but they are only human beings who can overlook certain things at certain...

  21. protecting yourself against complaints

    rn4ever? replied to am4182's topic in Men in Nursing

    It is rare that I give the IM in the gluteal area, but when I need to and I do, I make sure someone is with me inside the room. The co-worker of mine doesn't have to stare at us, but her presence in...

  25. It's So Hard to Look for a Local Job!!!!

    rn4ever? replied to misspowers's topic in Philippines

    I think that with the current situation of the economy today (in the US and the Philippines) and with retrogression still in place, it is really difficult to find a real job that will be considered as...
