^ Good for you, kyckerz! Ugh - I hope I'd have the same luck as you. I'm still hoping that they're wrong and they still need some more nurses (lol: non-therapeutic: denial)!

But when you sit for the NCLEX, wouldn't they require your passport as an ID? Do correct me if I'm wrong though. I have the same case as hers, everything else is still in my maiden name except for my passport. Thanks!

I can totally relate... Maybe for three months I always end up crying, beating myself up whenever I get home from duty because I feel so incompetent whenever I forget to do something for the patient (and it doesn't help that I don't have any friends ...

When I called them about applying as a staff nurse in AHMC, she told me they have 100 staff nurses in their pool who are ready for deployment. For those who have passed their resume late in January 2009 or in February 2009, they already have their sc...

I called up SLMC-GC for the application status of those who have taken their initial exam on December 2008, and the HR personnel informed me that they have reached the number of staff nurses they needed (meaning they have all the batches for training...

Try to read books about managing surgical instruments (knowledge is power!). And maybe try to research some videos about surgical instruments or being a scrub nurse and circulating nurse, and familiarize yourself with instruments that are needed duri...

Aside from the PRC license card and Board certification, You also need to be a BLS provider and an IV therapist.

I just passed my resume and the photocopies of every certification of training that I had undergone. Considering the volume of applicants, the time of processing might be twice as slow. Just be patient (if you really want to work there), or maybe ema...

Try to find the SLMC website and send your resume there (there IS an e-mail address there - you just have to write in the subject of your e-mail "Staff Nurse Resume for SLMC - Global City," or something like that, to have it sent to the respective HR...

I got scheduled for my initial exam after maybe 1.5-2 months after I passed my resume through e-mail. One has to really wait because so many nurses want to be a part of SLMC. Just do other things (certifications or training) or maybe pass your resume...

I did pass my resume via email, and they responded immediately. The first time I passed my resume was through the guard, but I didn't get any texts from them, so a month later, I decided to pass my resume through email (you can email them through the...

Hi lenjoy! I just want to know... what is your nurse to patient ratio in MMC? How many nurses are there in your station and do you divide work by number of patients or by rooms? You also have nursing assistants and medical clerks (some hospitals are ...

I had my initial screening and the HR informed us of the following steps: 1. Initial exam 2. Initial Interview with the HR 3. Technical Interview with the Nursing Department 4. Computer-based assessment 5. Medical exam 6. NSET And then she tells us w...

So the initial screening was just IQ, personality and clinical exam? No interviews with the HR yet? Thanks for sharing your experience! I'll be in the same boat as you are come tomorrow. Good luck to us!:wink2:

kishy - I think they're still accepting applicants. Waiting could take weeks to months. Better keep yourself busy while waiting for their call (or text). :)

Ms. Gianna's the HR for SLMC -GC. She's the one deciding if you'd be qualified for the position. Good luck on your interview! Hopefully we'll both pass it. I'm also for initial interview (thank God) this December. :nuke:

Hello!! How are the NSET trainees for SLMC - GC? What are your plans after the training?

Try asking hospitals with cancer institutes and ask if they allow unaffiliated nurses to join the training. The hospital I worked for have a cancer institute and they trained some staff nurses for Brachytherapy. I hope this helps.

Have you heard of Brachytherapy? I'm afraid there is no training course about doing chemotherapy... The hospital I worked for had their staff nurses undergo Brachytherapy training because the hospital has facilities for that. Does your hospital have...

The staff nurse resumes that they are still processing were from the August and September batch. But they said you can still pass your resume, but it would be put into file for future reference. They have many things to do - some still don't have t...

There were already threads concerning about NC-CLEX, I know you've read about them. If I were to train for something that I'll use for the hospitals here, I might as well go to trainings recognized by ANSAP, PNA, Red Cross... I'm a bit wary about NC...

I had a problem with a patient. The patient has been newly diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. She's very weak and often needs assistance from her husband. She doesn't eat very well, so her doctor orders supplemental nutrition - you know,...

To HappyPill: I don't know if we could help you here (I noted you're from USA), but I hope this helps. There are usually two kinds of interview: one wants to know who you are and why are you applying for the hospital, and the other one that gauges y...

Just some advice, please look for schools who have a base hospital so that you can be sure you can have your clinical duties. And every school has its pros and cons, so be sure you thoroughly researched the school, and it doesn't hurt if you visit t...

Are you sure you wanted to be a nurse rather than to be an architect? There are so many unemployed nurses nowadays that I don't know where you would find yourself when it's your time to graduate from nursing. Architecture is a very good course beca...
