   caycay replied to TeresaB930's topic in Washington Nursing

   My husband and I were arguing about that issue. For him it's again "pro choice" that patient can have an option. But for me, since I'm in a healthcare setting and experienced assisting that (in other...

6. Fresh Graduate preparing for NLE-want to take NCLEX

   caycay replied to badbach66's topic in International Nursing

   I heard CBON requires Phil Licensure Exam already so you must have to pass it first before you proceed to your NCLEX. Much better to get some hospital experience too while waiting for lifting the...

7. Are NC-CLEX trainings recognized by hospitals HERE in the PI?

   caycay replied to diapersprinkles's topic in International Nursing

   I also enrolled there at NC-CLEX long time ago and I would say it didn't helped me at all. If you want to have a good resume to go abroad, I would suggest to have loads of nursing work experience...

8. How To Be Nurse Abroad If You Have No Money?

   caycay replied to 2BANURZSXPENSIV's topic in International Nursing

    caycay replied to IsseyM's topic in Operating Room

    I love open Heart Surgeries!!! One or two patients, I'm finished working!!! I hate having different patients, in and out of the OR (like in GSOR). The most fave part is when I scrub. Working with...

    caycay replied to suzanne4's topic in Philippines

    " I agree with you Suzanne. Although making changes will not be as easy, it should be something that the PNA (Philippine Nurses Association) should push for, I mean considering how many Nurses and...
