Hi! Someone from SRO texted me: Get your authentication receipt for BDO stamping/seal I already gave them my authentication receipt & had my final evaluation with them two weeks ago so I don't understand this text. Someone please enlighten me? I'm in the province right now so I can't just go to SRO now. It's weird also 'cause they did send any replies.

Hi! How's your application? How good is the accommodation? With pool and stuff? Free 3 meals or just one? Thanks!

Hi! Is Al Kharaj a good hospital???

You know guys it's weird to now post on this forum because before, I used to just surf for stuff that can tell me more about Saudi and hopefully help me make a decision if I would really be ready to start my nursing career in a foreign and socially secluded country. But now that I'm here, I'm glad I took the leap. It's so not a bed of roses but it's not bad like I thought it would be. I'm learning a lot now not just professionally. I guess I'm also lucky that here in Jeddah, it's not really strict.

Hi.. I'm a new nurse (started working 3months ago) , should I tolerate bullying by the senior nurses because I often ask questions about the hosp routines mostly and I sometimes do not realize Im not endorsing everything and forgets to complete stuff on the chart occasionally?

sadly, not all hospitals here in our country uses IV pumps... what about antibiotic or amino acid sidedrips that are infusing only for 30 minutes? what if it run dry? Does a small amount of fluid still remain on their bottles?

Hi Barbie... Does your shift really last 12 hours? Or the 4 hours just overtime? How were you able to resign? Did you fly with friends? Were you assigned on the same hospital?

Hi... I'm a bit curious who told you to go directly to the embassy. Were you able to ask them why? Is your board rating above 85% by any chance?

I submitted mine last august but until now, they haven't sent me a txt yet which is weird because my requirements were complete and my rating is above 80%. So I'm planning to send the requirements again next week. Did they stop hiring or something?

I'm quite confused, just need a little guidance. So if I passed NCLEX. CG & IELTS already, the next step would be applying for a Visa Screen, right? Or was that already done when I applied for my CG? I'm confused because the forms to be accomplished for the CG exam & Visa Screen are quite the same. Thanks!

i doubt that would happen for nclex because they have very different test giving strategy. first of all, they all take in a small number of people per day with varying schedule so chances of 1 being falsely accused of cheating is slim. you have a different set of question as compared to others (seatmates) and based on what happened to korea's testing center, selling or sharing the questions & choices for answers after taking the exam is the only thing i could think of that is a form of cheating for the nclex. so how could that be similar to the nle that you would opt to take it somewhere else?? if you did not share/sell questions, why would you be persecuted just because others did?

URC & Kaplan have very different teaching method for URC's review is classroom based while Kaplan's is mainly computer based. Choose what suits your learning style.

now, why would you think that? i'm sorry but i believe that if you did not participate on cheating of any kind & your conscience is clear, why would you fear taking the nclex in the philippines? there would be an investigation so why would you be caught in the net just because you have the same center as the perpetrator? for the record, i hate this thread.

just for oct 12? :monkeydance:

bebe13, the training is @ metropolitan hospital @ Masangkay, Sta. cruz, Manila. The recent one started last july 25 but maybe they have another one.

I'm also would like to work there, seems like a very good experience. But may I know how long would the contract be? Would the hiring process be a tedious one? What about the exams or interviews, would it be grueling? Do they accept applicants even without any hosp. experience yet? Sorry for the many questions, I just want to know enough. Thanks in advance!

It is expensive. My friend underwent if for P8000 for 2 months. For her, she just wanted to keep her hands busy while waiting for the results of the local NLE.

You definitely raised good points there Suzanne that I was saddened for I'm reminded of some of it again. But honestly, just like the other post here, our school is also strict with the student-patient ratio. I guess, we're just on the better side of the road here because I can't remember sharing a patient with another student even in the DR where I always wish I have a groupmate to help me out (catching the baby really gives me the jitters).

yep, slots are still available even for september...

i'll be taking the nclex next month for ca but i sure would not be flying out of this country soon. though i still don't have any hospital experience on my sleeve, i'm testing early for i know the immigration process is a long process especially now. so while i'm gaining hospital experience here after passing nclex, my immigration papers, hopefully maybe after 2-3 years, are on its way to being approved already.

woah. 60 days+ is a LOT. Here in the Philippines, we have to wait for more or less than 45 days.

Thanks... But what about the salary? Would the 9k starting increase up to 15k or more like UST's?

I notice you aren't mentioning Makati Med, is it not a good place to work? They have a good reputation too, right?

really? I thought it would be booked already. Anyway, what number should I call? This may sound stupid but which prepaid card should I use? Thanks..

how can one have a hospital petition her? I mean, is it a tedious process? Would the hospital require much?
