I am. Although I haven't received any email instructions from them yet. Have you?

ey there jessnextdoor! i guess we're batchmates then :)) what group are you in? funny how some people would think that you can only get into training if you have a "backer" when you can either have a very good qualification or have a very good qualification (haha!). anyhoo...great seeing you here! hope to bump into you sometime! best of luck in the case pres! :)

hi ut utrn..i have been out of practice for 6 yrs and i am currently training at the lung center. they have an excellent training program as you get to handle as much as 10 patients. you will be assigned in different wards, ICU and ER. just call Lung Center of the Philippines Nursing Training Office to inquire. If you have a valid license you will be fine. IV training doesn't need experience for you to qualify in the training. All you need is your RN license. Best of luck!

word of advice, if you're planning on sending your resume thru the website, you better opt for the more personal approach...better go to cathedral heights in corporate attire and give your resume. it is better to be in a corporate attire since they might choose you to undergo initial assessment right there and then...we never know right? so better come prepared. their initial exam is an IQ test. best of luck and God bless! :)

i was one of those who took the initial assessment last Monday, April 6, 2009-holiday. I asked the one who messaged me (stephanie) if there really is an exam on that day since it is a holiday, and she said that even if it was a holiday, the exam will still push though. :)

I'm sorry to hear that. I just read now that she's already stepped down from being a moderator. Sad news...

hello joan! gosh! how time flies...it'll be a yr next month...how's everybody doin? :redpinkhe as for me, ill be back in the hospital setting by May to do some trainings...i'm still waiting for our visa petition but im hopeful that i'll be able to find something to be busy on while waiting... I'm happy for everyone of us here since we've remained friends...and i hope that we could continue to be friends. For those who are still in the race, my prayers are with you and incase you guys need help with anything re: NCLEX don't hesitate to PM me :) best regards to all!:flwrhrts:

why don't you try Suzanne's review tip. That has helped a lot of retakers and first timers as well, as long as you adhere to the method. Best of luck! God bless!

apple, there's no way you could work in australia without first, registering in their nursing council, then you will have to be evaluated if you qualify, then they will recommend you to enroll for the bridging program which costs AUD12000 (as of April 2008, depending on the University). Student visa costs: Php18++ thousand, initial registration is around AUD200++. as for work experience, that will be evaluated by the nursing council.

GSA or Global Scholarship Alliance sends Filipino nurses to the US to study MSN. They are on J-1 visa. They are to finish the 4 yr Masteral Course but will have to come back to the Philippines to serve the country for 2 yrs before they could go back again to the US to work. They are working there in an affiliated hospital for a minimum period just to support thmeselves while schooling. They are the ones paying their own apartments. GSA will only shoulder your tuition and books. Greencard is not offered to these scholars. My friends are now in the US preparing to come home as they finished their MSN already. ANd they are under GSA. GSA also, shoulders NCLEX and the visa fees, but once you failed you will take the exams again and will have to pay the whole expenses on your own. If in case you failed again, and decide not to push through with the scholarship you will pay them the amount they have spent for you. GSA will not make you take the NCLEX and make you go through the whole process without you signing the contract.

proctors don't have a way of knowing whether you passed or failed just after you took the NCLEX, but they know if you failed from a previous attempt to take the NCLEX since it will show on your records after you have done the fingerprinting, alongside the photo that was taken of you before.
