I read your other post about wanting to get into active nursing. I was inspired with that. You should go for it, you'll never know how many patients under your care will be blessed if you wont. Then I've read your very brave revelation here, I was do...

Really...? I felt goosebumps reading this. That must be a world upon that doctor's shoulders. So like in a movie! Youre right, too bad and so sad that justice sometimes live up to its "blind" icon - a lady holding a pan of weight in her hand, blindf...

really tragic..thanks for posting this... Like what Liza hoped to happen, Alejandro should have stand up for what he believed and not accept the deal. They could have had a chance with the jury. It's just as good as admitting he's guilty...but then h...

Eeww..gross, hehehe I want to be a kellycurve clamped on a vein

Starting IV especially in babies! It's challenging

I suspect that the US may make it mandatory in the near future to require those that attended school in PI be required to pass the NLE. It actually was required back when the CGFNS exam was required. And you will probably see it again, if not just ...

For sure I will. thanks a lot!

yeah we should check our post office really bec they sometimes "dont"...You sent them a letter? Should I do the same though I sent them email already? Thank you.

I checked NSCBN myself and....thank God! NCLEX is here now in the Philippines! Well, those who took the exam already wouldn't regret either since HK (and others where nclex testing is offered) is such a nice place! Let's all study harder...God has al...

Hi again, dcraneses...how did long did it took 'til you got your requested fingerprint card from them? was it sent via snail mail or fast track? Thanks.

Thanks to you! I already sent an email to this address maybe 3 weeks ago...asking pertinent question re IL BON application and a request for fingerprint card. I did got a reply that my message hs been forwarded to a certain department to be filled (o...

Is there any requirement in getting a fingerprint card (IL BON) for my nclex application in the US embassy? My nurse friend in Manila offers to get it for me, she's asking in what department will she get it. Thanks ahead, a lot.

AMEN! Waiting is hard but it develops in us a great character. Most of all, what's the best time but the Lord's? There's so much we can do while we wait; Aside from preparations (exams, applications, hospital experiences) , there's a job that is alwa...

My primary reason was the uniform. I love it. Then my cousin encouraged me get the said profession as he also took the same; He with his goal to work in foreign countries, I with my desire to wear those uniforms and inject. But when I really got hol...

sorry youre confused, Trudy. Anyway, let's just say, this is a huge misunderstanding of a minute subject... God bless.

No, you don't have to be mean. Just because you have a big heart doesn't mean you'd be like those guys you mentioned. I understand your situation as being a nurse who cares a lot for my patients, I also am drained of my strength most of the time. But...

Hmmm...I agree with madwife that this is off the topic already but to clarify, this friend of mine personally buys Tylenol (big bottle) for her mom when she goes home since her mom responds best to this pill in her present condition. The issue about...

We dont...Its sealed and clean and it's the excess of the patients' stock that they gave to my friend because of her great job for them...We nurses value the principle of asepsis, so dont worry...We dont give naked pills from the floor.

Actually the given tylenol wasnt pocketed..it's heartily given by my friend's patients ( as an act of gratitude ) because my friend is really on heck of a loving, caring, skilled and compassionate nurse in one of IL's biggest hosp. in the Tele area.

thanks heaps, nxt777. i know once i get started, the rest will just follow. im just being too meticulous about application abroad. god bless on your exam...i'll get to that, too, the exam i mean...im excited about it.. "trust in the lord with all you...

Hi there! thanks a lot! sure there would be questions coming from me in the future from you. that's good to hear, you being done with the application and soon to face the NCLEX...God bless on your exam dcraneses.

I really find this thread helpful. Thanks to those who spearheaded this. I have a lot of friends who had gone to US ahead of me but I havent been told of this. Maybe because they're also busy with their new job and had to adjust to a new culture that...

As for my hospital considering the meds (peeled out of its packaging) that has been dropped on the floor as waste, RN Dude, 'course we do. But to drop a sealed one, or a sealed vial, we don't see it as a waste. Well, we may have different hospital pr...

The meds she had given me are safely, securely, individually packed. No tear, not holes nor any teeny-weeny bit of a dirt can be found. Maybe what you're referring to is a pill that's ready to swallow?

Thank you, I really appreciate your counsels. I guess I have to agree with that because everything has to be in order, rushing will only cause trouble. I dont know, maybe it's just my want to take nclex sooner that made me seem impatient with this on...
