none...every agency has just money on their mind..i have other friends and many others i have met here in UK and they were fooled by those agencies...you really will feel sorry for a lot of students here in Uk...

hmm...actually if you want to apply as a student visa, or an ONP course here in the UK either way you will really have to pass hurdles and everything. Sometimes you have to start at the bottom..there is no easy way, its always the hard way..the choice is within you and it depends where your luck and prayers is..

yeah thats what im doing to. im actualy going on a student visa, my visa was granted.i apllied it myself. i just want a change of environment, to experience the healthcare setting in uk even though only as a student visa. at least it gives me a hand on experience even as a nursing assistant. it will also be an opportunity to observe thier healthcare setup. after my 2 year studies im planning not stay on uk, beacuse of the high standard of living. probably go to nz or ausi until my visa for US will be granted. who am i to complain for a job below my nursing degree when i have no job for myself. you cant eat or put food on the table for complaining. maybe that's a lot of filipino nurses accept this kind of scheme. a sacrifice for the lesser of two evils.

ill inform you guys and update whatever happens to me there so that you'll be able to know the pros and cons of applying to this kind of program..

hi guys! i actually applied for this kind of scheme..my parents supported me financially..however i didnt used any agency to process my papers..i personally handled everything, i processed my papers and communicated with the school myself..i waited for 5 months then my visa was released. i can now go to london as a student. im kind of having second thoughts because i know no one there however i cannot back out because of all the expenses that we have made so far..excited and at the same time a little bit wary..hehehe

hi..interested in this kind of setting..but unfortunately it's not easy to find this kind of job..moreover there are no offers or positions for this kind of setting

yeah I agree with u!there are a lot worse things that I can think of but too bloody to post here..hehehe

im not being overly dramatic about things..it depends on one's opinion of things..i respect of that of yours..what i meant was on volunteering so im willing to volunteer without pay..and with regards to payment ive been working over a year now in a hospital were i work too much and they pay little..so there is no actually difference if thre is payment or not..second of all even if i get paid its not enough to compensate me for my daily expenses so my parents still actually gives me allowance since they know that here in our country nurses are underpaid..thats why im willing to work during pandemic..3rd of all maybe im thinking this way because im single and i know that my family can provide themselves with everything so im wiling to go to the extremes..and 4th with proper precautionary measures and im sure vaccines, mask etc are given before you work or volunteer so i dont think we will easily get sick so that means i still be able to take care of others..answer me this..what if there is an outbreak of something and no one to pay you, would you help knowing you know about health???

well..there are actually some hospitals that hire pretty, young and tall nurses..from were i work from, they recently have been hiring young, pretty and about 5 feet and above female and male nurses..and most of the patient i encounter often have comments like "all nurses here are beautiful or all of you are young" when you visit our hospital from the med tech's to rad techs has the same kind of staff..its not a requirement but mostly these are the characteristics..not all are pretty and the likes but most are..

its hard to find nursing jobs this day..but if you know someone with a high position in a hospital im sure youll get the job

wiht or without pay..im willing to work during pandemic..it doesnt matter what happens to me, what matters is you have help and save thousands..anyways hiding yourself from all the diseases doenst guarantee you wont have one..we are nurses..we have work during disasters annd holidays..if you cant take this kind of life, then probably nursing is not for you..

to everyone's information, these nurses who actually applied for nurses but become caregivers is because they have no choice right?theyve got to claim what is offered..they do not complain what job is offered as long as it is related to their course.do you know why?because they have family that rely on them..nursing is costly..but dont you know that even a sidewalk vendor can send her child to study nursing?well there is a long story behind that that i couldnt express more..thats why filipino nurses are all going out of the country because, yeah, the philippine government actually have no concern either on nurses and a lot of stuff..well i guess you wouldnt understand because youve never been here and acrtually see what it is like to live here..

hmm..when i prepare and mix chemo drugs i wear gloves and mask..i dont have an apron though..but sometimes i have some on my hands..im not realy afraid..however your concerns are kinda scaring me..but i love doing chemos so it doesnt really bother me too much..

im so into oncologic nursing..our hospital is a general ward..so we do chemos for pediatric, obstrectics and medsurg..so basically we kind of handle different kind of patients and different kind of cases..but im so much interested if i have patients for chemo..i want to be an oncologic nurse but our hospital dont have an oncolgy department so it just as it is..considered as a general ward experience..sometimes i dont know what to write on my resume but general ward..

well base from my experience most patients who are nurses are nice..if they have more experience than you have they will teach you some stuff..but there is a but coming..patients who are student nurses or patients who have a student nurse relative are the pain in the orifice..they are the ones who are know-it-all..sometimes in my head i kept having this litany im a professional nurse and she's a student nurse..i have the urge to say it but...

i just want to comment bout this issue you know because your kind of degrading Filipinos too much..yes i admit that filipinos have limitations, we cannot speak norwegian but i think filipinos are not that stupid to actually venture norway without proper preparations..they are professional nurses..give them some credit for petes sake..moreover just because filipinos easily jumps job offerings from different countries that have diffirent languages doesnt mean that we cannot learn the language..i have an aunt in switzerland who studied all her life here in the philippines and she speaks french well..in fact she is one of the head of the UN..it depends on the persons will and abilities..if she really is a fast learner and is committed well, i think anyone can learn one's language..

what i love nursing is the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual challenge we face everyday which other profession doesnt suffer..

this is really a big issue that our government needs to address..in my point of view the issue is not the poor rated school, the ched or whatever..everyone has their reasons for taking up nursing..and who are we to stop the dreams of those who want to take it?yes, i think that alot of schools and institutions are taking advantage of the high rise of enrolees for nurses but maybe in their point of view business is business..the bigger problem actually are the graduates who will eventually pass the exam and be unemployed..hospitals are also cost cutting thats why they freeze hiring..in fact there is a big pile of resumes on hrds..few nurses are getting out of the country..in short there are more supply of nurses than the demand for them... its really a roller coaster ride for the :uhoh3:nurses..

just the basic requirements..bring all your documents..there are alot of us whose resigning..so if you want to apply why not try..

i would suggest you try aplying at delgado hospital on kamuning road qc. its just a small hospital but a tertiary one. our hospital is still hiring.

hi everyone! im pretty much interested in having a training course on oncologic nursing..im working as a staff nurse at a hospital and we also have procedures on chemotheraphy for our patients..although we are already doing it, i would rather be interested in doing some training course..however, i cant find through internet our any training centers which provide this..is there anyone who can tell me where i can find training for oncologic nursing?i will truly appreciate some information..thank you!

hi i guess i have same dillema as you have although mine is slightly different..im having difficult time with my work and planning to resign..but i was thinking while others are looking for a job and im here with a job but want to resign..thats the irony of life..i love being a nurse..i work as a staff nurse at a private hospital..minimum wage is 7thou per month or less..its really difficult to budget my money especially that my hospital is far way from my home because so far its the only hospital that hired me so i grab the oppurtunity..i work at qc and live here in san mateo rizal..so difficult and tiring to commute everyday.

hi! i think you'd better enjoy your freedom while still waiting for work..before i was like you all cant wait too work..because of my exitement to start work...beleive me youll miss the days that you have to stay at home and just relax..when you start working in the hospital its like you dont have a life outside of it..youll be emotionnaly, physically and mentally exhusted

hi! im interested in that info on hospitals which accepts volunteers..hope u can pm it to me..thanks!

well i will suggest NGRTCI at Sampaloc, manila..just an advice though..i was also a new grad who took the cgfns exam after passing the board exam and i tell you it works for me since lectures are easy to catch up..especially if your a fresh graduate..i believe its much better to have a cgfns certificate as well for you will have a vast of state to choose from..
