Went to the HR Department located at the 2nd floor. I don't think they're hiring. The staff we were talking to was surprised that we were applying, lol. But still, they accepted our documents. It never hurts to try.

Thanks for the update, meyinol. :) Are they open for applications again? I really wish that DoH has more 'publicity' for the RNHeals program.

Hi. I already sent the pm to all of you. Good luck to all of us. :)

Thanks, dodoy. I love nursing and would like to help fellow Filipino nurses. Thank you for sharing your experiences in applying as well. This site has been a great help for nursing questions. Thanks for recommending St. Luke's QC. I'll try applying at different hospitals again next week. Godbless to all of us.

My friends and I also went to several public hospitals (Philippine Heart Center, Philippine Children's Hospital, Philippine Orthopedic Center, Jose Reyes Memorial Medical Center, San Lazaro Hospital, NCMH, etc.). They are not accepting resumes because they recently accepted the RN Heals 2 Nurses. They have no idea when they will be accepting applicants. At the PHC, they told me that they were still processing applicants from 2008, it was that backlogged! A staff at the National Center of Mental Health gave me the requirements for Nurse and Nursing Attendants: Application Letter Addressed to: **** Thru: **** (PM me for details) Resume / CV TOR (photocopy) Diploma (photocopy) Training and Employment Certificate (photocopy) Authenticated Birth Certificate (NSO) (photocopy) NBI clearance (photocopy) Board Rating and License (nurse applicant) Autobiography (I heard/read somewhere that this should be handwritten.)

Thanks for the info. I won't be able to make it. I just have my duty uniform with me. God bless to those who are able to take the exam tom. ^_^

Hi. My friend and I just went to the DNET Office an hour ago, and they told us to go to the DNET Office at around 7am. Godbless to all of us. /off-topic/ I'm from Bulacan as well! ^^

Thanks for the info, [user]yeng_27[/user]! Are the examinees required to wear a nursing cap for the exam?

See you tom, [user]suswot[/user]! My friend and I plan to camp out at PGH tonight. :dzed: Extraordinary effort, I know, but PGH's worth it. ^^" We really want to get a Dean's Form. ^^ We already experienced lining up for a similar event. It was for the IV Therapy Training at another tertiary hospital -- we were there at 5:30AM but we weren't early enough to get one of the slots. Turns out there were people who came as early as 10PM the day before the registration. And tons of people showed up. We even surprised the Nursing Training Office, they thought it was a rally or something. God bless to all of us. I hope we get the Dean's Form. :)

Thanks for the info, [user]suswot[/user]! ^_^ I'm also lining up for the APCN Dean's Form tomorrow. I hope I will be one of the lucky persons who will get the said form. ^^ One of my biggest dreams is to work in PGH. Godbless to all of us.

What a wonderful post. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience -- I'm studying Operating Room Nursing next semester (w/ clinical rotations) so this was very helpful! :)

Thank you so much for the helpful reply. :loveya: I never knew that appointing an incompetent patient's legal guardian / surrogate decision-maker would involve going to court. This would make the decision-making a formal/legal responsibility, so it could not be contested, I think. It's really hard to make major medical decisions -- Almeda's case is just a theoretical one, but I'm getting somewhat confused about its (ethical) implications. :imbar

Hi, I'm wiredpsyche, a newbie Nursing student. One of my classes is Health Ethics, in which our group have been assigned to a case study where we'll make an analysis of ethical issues and possible alternate courses of action. Our case study is "Barney Says No": Almeda was an eighty-four year old woman who lived in a retiring life with no family and few friends. She suffered from a disabling stroke three years ago and has been confined to bed in a nursing home. Almeda has lost decisional capacity and left no advanced directives. Barney, her long time friend, has been her unofficial surrogate decision-maker. Almeda has developed a Stage IV sacral decubitis, now colonized with multiple resistant staphylococcus aureus and pneumonia with heart failure. Now she is on the intensive care unit. For two weeks, Almeda has been on the ventilator and is being fed with a gastric feeding tube. During this time, she has been treated with high dose cardiovascular drugs and Vancomycisn antibiotic. There has been no progress in the heart failure or pneumonia. Although stoic, Almeda shows clear signs of pain when moved about for care. The nurses and attending physicians have approached Barney on the numerous occasions to raise the question about stopping aggressive curative treatment and moving toward palliative care. Barney has always insisted that he sees more potential in Almeda's condition. When asked what the right goalfor Almeda ought to be, he answered, "it would be good if she could sit up and watch a little television." Almeda's renal function has now become seriously impaired and requires renal dialysis, the nursing staff asked for a meeting with the attending physician and Barney to discuss treatment redirection from curative to palliative care.~ We have been told to place the case study in a US setting. I live in Asia (Philippines), and study in a university with a meager library, so I would be very grateful if you can guide me regarding this case. :plsebeg: Here are some of the things that I think might be relevant to the case: Barney is Almeda's unofficial substitute decision-maker. I feel that his current role is a 'consultant' regarding decisions made for Almeda's treatment, providing a 'vague sense' of autonomy in Almeda's case. Is there any protocol/precisely defined standards for the choice of surrogate decision-makers? And if Barney becomes the 'official'/valid surrogate decision-maker, will his role be somewhat limited because he is just a long-time friend instead of nearest kin? Are there any relevant US laws regarding medical treatment in nursing homes and in particular, decision-making for incompetent patients (those who have lost their decisional capacity)? Why is it that the nursing staff asked to discuss about treatment direction (from aggressive curative treatment to palliative care) with the prospect of renal dialysis, instead of earlier when Almeda has been on the ventilator and gastric feeding tube? We've discussed in class that ventilators is a major life-supporting treatment, its withdrawal is important enough to warrant serious decision-making.Thank you for taking the time to read and I would be really grateful for any comment. :redpinkhe I'm a beginning Nursing student, so this case study just boggles my mind.

Thank you so much for the informative reply. :redpinkhe It's the first week of classes here, but my professor for the subject hasn't showed up yet so I really have no idea. I'm going to look up Aaron Antonovsky and Hans Selye. And wow at your great memory. I wish I could do that someday. :imbar

Thanks for the comment. :) It's the first week of classes but my professor hasn't showed up yet, so I really have no idea what the class is about -- I'm quite excited about it!

Hi, I just took the leap and am finally doing the BSN program! I alternate between crazy-thrilled :roll and being nervous-determined . I still can't believe I'm finally doing this. :heartbeat Anyhow, I looked over my subjects and one of them is Socio-Anthropology with Nursing Perspective, and has field placement. I've taken Sociology and Anthropology (as separate classes) before, so I'm guessing this might be about how people in social groups view health (issues). Field placement could mean field studies (participant-observation! ) and research. My guess is probably off-base, lol. :imbar So... can anyone tell me what to expect? Any info on this subject would be awesome! And thanks in advance!
