  1. VisaScreen Application

    For renewal no need to send the transcripts. With IELTS you need to retake the exam and on one of their questionnaires, there is an option which authority you need to send the results of your IELTS. No need to pay anything.
  2. VisaScreen Application

    I think it would most likely be the one your expecting.
  3. VisaScreen Application

    It wasn't too bad for my experience with CGFNS. I haven't rang them even once. I always just opened my online account for updates. They were even the ones kept sending me emails reminding me to send all my documents. Once everything was supplied it t...
  4. Postpone Aussie dream? Try Singapore/Middle East first?

    I would assume you are registered with AHPRA. If you are really determined to go to Australia I would suggest coming here on a student visa and studying cheap courses not necessarily related to nursing. This route though requires a significant amount...
  5. VisaScreen Application

    This is still necessary especially with initial application. I still have to do it again for my recent renewal. In my experience approval time is around 3-4 months. Depending how quick you send all the requirements as they will not start reviewing un...
  6. Immigration Requirements for Australia and New Zealand

    IMHO jems a mix of documents would suffice. This is based on my recent PR application and previous 457 visa.
  7. Immigration Requirements for Australia and New Zealand

    Afaik with my dealings with AU immigration is that they are accepting scanned original documents as long as it is coloured.
  8. Renewing of Visa Screen

    I think its much of a hassle if you go through it all over again. It would be easy and cheaper just to renew it. Hoping that in that span of 5 years your PD will come. What I did since you've got a year to meet the renewal requirements is I submitted...
  9. visa screen renewal without US license

    If you have paid for the renewal before it expire then you have a year to fulfil the requirements for the visascreen.
  10. visa screen renewal without US license

    You will still be able to renew without a US license. You still need to sit ielts again and request the philippine professional regulation commission for your license status in the philippines.
  11. Volunteer Nurse

    I'm very well pleased by what you are doing in extending your help to patients. You might think it's just a mini mission for you but it's really something big to the patients. You are really doing a good job. When we are in a difficult situation we r...
  12. Joint Replacement Post-op Dressing Changes

    In our facility we usually use sterile gauze for moderate ooze wound especially for the first 2 days post op. Then just a padded tegaderm afterwards...
  13. Golden Summit in Cebu

    Yes the one year experience is really a requirement. But you can do all of the processing by yourself. You can search the internet for websites, blogs, or forums that can help you with the processing and you can really save lot of money.
  14. New grad in Ortho/neuro

    Yes. Usually we have just 5 patients. Because when you get six its already very busy. I think its very busy because I'm just a little new but I think when I'll get a few months experience then thats the time I'll have a good time management and good ...
  15. Ortho vs Med/Surg

    Although most of our patients are ortho patients we still get medical and surgical patients as well. Because most of the cases we have are elective surgeries thats why the ward is not always full so are an overflow ward. If the medical is full then w...
  16. Knee Replacement

    Most of our patients are discharge after 2-3 days unless they have other concerns in going home. Especially if they are not safe in going home.
  17. New grad in Ortho/neuro

    I just had my first month in ortho ward and its been wonderful learning all those nursing cares that is only exclusive to orthopaedic wards. I've worked in medical surgical nursing before but its entirely different in ortho. I had a four week precept...
  18. Unemployed nurse

    There are still a lot of hospitals doing volunteer program. I would suggest when you do your volunteer give it your best so that regular staff can recommend you to the supervisor that you are extraordinary that you have the needed skills the hospital...
  19. I didn't avail of the said package but I took PAL for my trip to HK. Its around P18,000(rough estimate) all in all compared to cebu pacific's P7,000+ only back and forth. In my experience PAL has better service to think that its expensive. They'll s...
  20. Agency Vs. No agency

    You made the right decision. P15,000 just to help you process all the forms is too much. You still end up doing it all by yourself. Me, I did it on my own with help of some of my friends. It wasn't that hard though. Godbless on your application.
  21. Me, I took my exam in HK when the Manila location was still in the making. A good tour after your exam in HK will be a good gift to reward yourself of all the efforts you did during those months when you were studying. Hong Kong is a good place to vi...
  22. Filipino RN with US Tourist visa

    There were batchmates of mine who already had tourist visa when we graduated last 2005. They took the NCLEX ASAP in the US and actually adjust their status afterwards. They are now working as RNs mostly in california and new york. Good for them. Thos...
  23. ielts or NCLEX first?

    I would suggest you take the nclex first because ielts has only a two year validity from the time you took while nclex will not expire when you'll apply in state that does not need a SS number to be issued a license.
  24. Dilemma with VSC

    Applying online is faster than the regular mail application. But you have to be careful in answering the online question because it would take some time to change it. It's hard to change it by calling CGFNS. You also don't need to send another copy o...
  25. October 2008 VB

    Just as expected back to where they were a year ago. There will still be a 5 year wait for those who are waiting.
