    Glad to help :) forgot to mention earlier, there's this another verse from the bible that I whispered to God to guide me in my exam about HIS promise: James 1:5-6 "If any one of you lacks wisdom, he should pray to God, who will give it to him; becaus...

  12. Hi! Just frustrated to some of the horror stories that i've been hearing from my fellow nurses. What the other posts here are saying is true, it's hard to look for a nursing career here in our homeland,where everywhere you look, there's almost always...

  16. My advice to pass and slay nclex!

    Well..aside from my advices which i had posted previously, I guess it all boils down to what are your studying habits? If you are easily distracted, try to study in the library. For some, they can't study without coffee so some of my nclex takers fri...
  17. Losing hope! Help me

    Ask yourself: What is my REAL passion? It's a known hard fact here in our country most of the nursing graduates have put aside their true desire for the reason of the promising golden opportunites of being an R.N. I have a friend who have worked for ...
  18. Deciding if you are ready for the Nclex

    I was in the same boat as you last few months ago. I was scheduled to take the exam last week of june, then after many doubts,what if's and going into the panic mode, I rescheduled to 2nd week of July (although I felt i was ready). I passed the nclex...
  19. Whats your scariest hospital experience?

    one night duty shift, I went on to pass some meds around 4am. One patient said to me "that's odd, someone already gave me the same meds that you are about to give". So I went out to the nurse's station and asked my fellow nurses if they have given th...
  20. failed nclex 4 times

    sorry to hear bout that. Few years back i also failed the nclex and i know its so hard to start the day after receiving the bad news. I spent a lot of money to prepare for that exam and I was depressed and discouraged for quite sometime until i got f...
  21. My advice to pass and slay nclex!

    thanks! I still can't believe i surpassed that exam! Such a blessing! This was my 2nd time to take it and im relieved that was over. In my first failed attempt, I crammed my review all the way up to the exam date. I was reviewing 4 books at the same ...
  22. For me, i'd say it's a waste of time and money. I paid i think 24 thousand pesos for the 25 days review that they were offering. Almost all of our classmates were so frustrated with their system, and we felt we were ripped off with their fancy ad. Th...
  23. nursing frustrations in working in the philippines

    Hehehe that is sooo true Daly! Even the govt hospital director themselves are buzy in beefing up their own pockets. A few years back, there's this hospital director somewhere in quezon city, he purchased 10 ambulance vans using their budget. This sti...
  24. nursing frustrations in working in the philippines

    Well I have seen lots of health workers here practically begging for those similar benefits that you guys have there,but it always fall on deaf ears. Some of our kabayans have that same desire that you and I have, to make the difference and to share ...
  25. nursing frustrations in working in the philippines

    Well that's the way it is..they hire you, use you and abuse you. The reason mainly is they can fire and re-hire if you did not comply with their "over to the top" rules. Its very ironic, here in our country they couldnt hire enough nurses for the rea...
