  1. How to be a Registered Nurse-Midwife in the Philippines?

    woknblues replied to r0b0c0p's topic in Philippines

    Perhaps a little off topic.. I find it interesting and unfair that a midwife in the Philippines has less education than an RN, but seems to practice with way more authority, autonomy and...

  2. Enough is enough: Get out of my wallet.

    woknblues replied to Bortaz's topic in General Students

    Yeah, that! Total cost of tuition, books, and everything else related to the costs of going to nursing school in the Philippines is far beyond what a families average income is. Probably a minimum of...

  3. Enough is enough: Get out of my wallet.

    woknblues replied to Bortaz's topic in General Students

    Y'all think all that is expensive? Look at it this way for our nursing brothers and sisters in the Philippines. For graduation ceremony: 3,500 pesos Gala uniform plus tailoring: 800 pesos Odds and...

  4. This was a question on our test today. What do you think the answer is?

    woknblues replied to APRNReneeJ's topic in General Students

    Humor in good taste, is always appropriate, if not for the patient, then for the therapist. As long as it does not confuse or further disorient. Also, it is theraputic to laugh, regardless of if we...

  5. Wedding in Taos this spring

    woknblues replied to OklaLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I had a vacation in NM in May of 2006... We went all over that area, Taos, Santa Fe, Acoma, etc. the weather was absolutely beautiful every single day. I might recommend you utilize Albuquerque to...

    woknblues replied to woknblues's topic in Correctional

    woknblues posted a topic in International Nursing

    Greetings, For anyone who has done this, or knows off hand. Approximately how long would it take from the time you drop your application in the mail (assuming fed ex for argument sake) to the...

  9. Driving to Sacramento, CA to get my license

    woknblues replied to mommyofnini's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    People are doing it all the time for the fingerprints. Why not pay while you are there, too?? Sounds reasonable, if not for the ugly drive up the

  10. How much time? CA BRN

    woknblues replied to woknblues's topic in International Nursing

    Yeah, foreign grad, I get it. I reserve the right to complain all I can about the State of California, I grew up there, and have paid way more than my fare share of taxes, and spent months a year...

  12. Nursing Schools in the Philippines

    woknblues replied to jencas's topic in Philippines

    The OP had less than 15 posts (no PM function), so I sent her an email using the "envelope" button provided by allnurses... Did I do

  13. How much time? CA BRN

    woknblues replied to woknblues's topic in International Nursing

    Well, since you got the point of my question, can we leave it at that for now? So you are saying that they will start a file. Of course, I would expect them to require the applicant to provide all...

  16. Loan Forgiveness Programs

    woknblues replied to shakeitup82's topic in General Nursing

    I have heard that the State of Florida has a fairly comprehensive loan repayment program, and most hospitals are part of the program. Just go to the state forum, it is a sticky on the top of the page....

  17. Juice bar?

    woknblues replied to fawnsternurse's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    just to add my +1 to this comment. your local sba will have a program called "score". it is a "mentor" type program with volunteering businesspeople (some active, some retired) who help you put...

  18. Move to FL for schooling ?

    woknblues replied to hevnbnd4's topic in California Nursing

    I guess I'll take the bait here. Most nursing schools are harder and longer to get into than many law schools, at 1/3 the starting wage. So many of us simply don't have the time to wait. I sure...

  19. Need your support guys.........I Feel like a real pansy!!

    woknblues replied to malestudentnurse's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Even if you won the fight, you could lose so much more. Never worth it. We were all young dumb and full of... stupidity at one point. Most turn the corner when they realize that they will never see...

  22. Nurses, where do you see yourself in 5-10 years?

    woknblues replied to learning08's topic in General Nursing

    Very interesting. If you look at the posts, the majority of us are either just getting in, or just getting out. Nursing will change a lot in 5 years, I reckon. I, too, will be in my 5th year of...

  23. I want this pt showered...and a bunch of other questions...

    woknblues replied to wishiwereanurse's topic in General Nursing

    You are probably doing this already, but make sure you are documenting all the refusals on his part, and do make sure you are referring for psych evaluation, and documenting. Can someone really go...

  24. Why Does Everyone Hate Florida So Much??

    woknblues replied to natkoz82's topic in Florida Nursing

    Excellent post. I was among the first to come on this thread and bash away, and am still impressed. Doesn't really change my mind, but if a newcomer to FL wanted to do it right, they should refer to...
