hi superxtraordinary! just want to ask... do you have already a local license? because you said, you're a newly graduate... well, correct me if I'm wrong if you have that already... hehehe.. if you already have, try to contact or go to ANSAP office at Lourdes Hospital in Mandaluyong for the schedules and venues of the training because they are the one who regulates and issues IV therapy license. hope this will help. :) have a nice day!

Moses59, review all the subjects... your funda, medical/surgical, pedia, OB, OR, CHN, research, etc... as in ALL! :pumpiron: when i took my licensure exam (december 2006) i don't have any idea about what topics that will be asked. just prepare yourself. make a schedule or timetable for all the subjects. learn how to manage your time and also try to answer review questions for you to assess yourself. you can also look for a review buddy, a friend or a study group thru this, you can discuss or review the topic to your friend/s so that you can easily remember it. good luck!

I think you're not yet for an interview... it means that you will directly submit your requirements in the embassy of Saudi Arabia at Makati... like a walk-in applicant... Maybe they will assess your papers first then if it is okay you will have to wait for a text message or a letter that you've been scheduled for an interview... then that's it... viola! Or just talk to the lady at window 4 at the embassy of Saudi Arabia to know what you'll going to do next.

I congratulate all the new filipino nurses who passed the December 2007 NLE! :clphnds: Welcome to the professional world! :wlcmggrp: :dncgbby:

Hi guys! I passed my requirements in POEA last week (Saudi-MOH) for staff nurse position, can anyone tell me... How long will it take to process my application? and how the process go? Can anyone share? Anyone who already experienced it? Any reply will help me a lot...thanks guys in advance! and advance Merry Christmas to all!

hello shycel! what kind of training? is it IV or BLS? or anything? if its IV training, i suggest that you contact ANSAP office for the schedule and venue of their IV therapy training. or if you're looking for other training and seminars, try to visit Philippine Heart Center. They have this bulletin board which they post the list of different training and seminar schedules. good luck! and have a nice day!

marslarks, I've read a thread...also here in the website. it says... '07 nursing board results out in August By Veronica Uy INQUIRER.net Last updated 05:57pm (Mla time) 06/29/2007 MANILA, Philippines -- The results of the June 2007 nursing licensure examinations will be released in August, or a month later than the results of past tests have been, a member of the Board of Nursing (BoN) said Friday. "The release of the June 2007 nursing licensure examination results will be out by August 15 or 17 up to 31 at the Professional Regulation Commission office in Manila," Marco Sto. Tomas of the BoN, which prepares and oversees the entire exam process, said. He explained that the month's delay is primarily due to the volume of examinees this year. Some 78,000 nursing graduates took the June 10 and 11 exams, almost double the usual 40,000 examinees. Among them were some 13,000 passers of the June 2006 exam who retook tests 3 and 5 again on the recommendation of the United States Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS). The June 2006 nursing board exam was marred by the leak of test questions to some review centers. This controversy spurred congressional and criminal investigations, court cases, the replacement of the BoN members, and even a visit of CGFNS lawyers to observe this year's board exam, as well as the preparations for it. Sto. Tomas said the PRC's three optical machine readers, which can read and correct only 10,000 test papers a day, will take longer to come with the scores. "We hope and pray that none will conk out [during the correction]," he said. After the scores are known, the test papers will have to be matched to the examinees because "the test papers do not contain the names of the examinees, just their assigned numbers," Sto. Tomas explained. Then, the BoN will have to establish the mean passing score, which is computed from the highest and lowest scores. Sto. Tomas said the BoN members will again go into isolation once the test papers are being corrected. At the moment, they are still preparing the answers. He said this second period of isolation is to prevent the possibility of any of them being influenced to change the results of the exam in favor of selected examinees. The BoN went incommunicado during the printing of the test questions, to dispel any suspicion they might leak out the test questions. "Everything is being done to restore the integrity of the Philippine nursing licensure examinations. This exam is not the work of any one member of the board, but all of the board," he said.

Yeepee! Thank GOD! At last!
