Lightblue RN

Yes, I have considered the financial aspect and fortunately I have kind relatives willing to sponsor me just so I can get in so monetary issues, modesty aside, are out of the question. What I am concerned with though, is the assurance that I can work...

I came across this article yesterday: UK school offers new career path for Pinoy nurses Monday, September 15, 2008 Filipino nurses could now become licensed nurses in United Kingdom and other European countries and work in hospitals in Europe, loca...

Do we inexperienced RNs have a chance at landing a good nursing job at KSA?

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia-Ministry of Health

Follow up question on work experience..since there is a slim chance, or worse none at all, for us new nurses to gain experience here in Phils, will work in Middle East be considered as good nursing experience? I am considering working in KSA just so ...

I am currently doing volunteer work in one of the so called reputable hospitals here in the Philippines, and from what I've gathered, some newly hired nurses, if not most, have not undertaken IVT training yet. So the notion of preference over license...

thanks for responding. this should really be an eye opener, same reason why I asked in the first place. I don't have first-hand knowledge of what agencies promises to those who recruit nurses as caregivers (only heard from co-nurses who took the bait...

Good thing you have shared what you know about working as a caregiver. You see, a lot of nurses here in Philippines resort to working as such since there are no opportunities to practice their degree. What I want to know, and I'm sure others here, is...

c&e ue recto branch we do not permit contact numbers to be posted here. one can easily do a google search and obtain the phone numbers for the store. suzanne4

absolutely correct Suzanne..Also once you're employed your hospital will pay for your IV therapy training for you. So no need to rush up on things But if you guys insist on doing it now, I suggest you make sure that the institution you will be enrol...

I suggest you bring your resume and other credentials at poea.That's what my friend did.And after a series of interviews and medical exams, you know the usual process, she's now leaving for KSA to work as an ICU Nurse in MOH.If I'm not mistaken, the ...

I just received my eligibility from CA BRN yesterday and now I don't know if I should pursue NCLEX knowing that I will have problems with my having a license once I passed the exam because of retrogression. What do you suggest is the best thing I do ...

Never forget the basics. Have a review of IMCI and your Nursing Research as well. You may also want to answer the end of chapter questions in Med Surg by Udan...I looked up some of the ques. when I got home and I was surprised to see that some of the...

Were you really present in araneta? Because if you were, you would not blame our fellow oathtakers for the poorly managed and executed event. Those nurses and their families would not have been outside if there are still available seats in the first ...

thanks for your honest reply..I am very well aware of retrogression (thanks to this forum), but I never thought that I will be affected since I am still in the initial stage of applying for US nursing licensure. Now I know...should have read more.....

whaat? are you sure about this? u see I actually did this..would that mean additional 1 or so months on the 4-6 months waiting period, since there is no specific date yet as to when our license will be released? oh no! very wrong move

Congrats :balloons: I agree with your principle of gaining experience even without remuneration. I too would be happy to make my services available and enhance my knowledge and skills at the same time. But being a volunteer here in our country is def...

wow! that was fast. i thought it takes 4-6 mos for them to respond? hope i would have the same experience as yours. what about your friends? did they receive theirs as well? actually, i'm still in the process of collating my requirements..

to those who have not posted theirs, pls. do share your experiences...you don't know how valuable these info are to us would-be us rn in addition, could you pls. give an idea on how you managed your salaries against the many expenses you face as eit...

hi mitsie, same situation here :) like you, i feel i should have been doing something while waiting for the nle results, like working perhaps. but the only hospital i know that accepts non-license newly grads as volunteers is QC Gen. Hosp. which is ...

i too had been fondly called "ate" by my first courser classmates. unlike some of u, i don't mind being called such because i know it's just out of respect that they address me as such..what bothers me though, is when someone who looks way older than...

hi everyone! im new to the board and i must say that i have learned a LOT...however, i have not come across the info that i was looking for or maybe i have not read everything yet...anyway, i just want to ask which state is best for a first time ncle...

i admit i have not entirely read the threads in International forum, especially the ones about retrogression, thanks Silverdragon.
