  1. Making things better for nurses in the Philippines

    caycay replied to suzanne4's topic in Philippines

    I don't think its right to blame the senior nurses for not having enough jobs for new nurses. They have their mind of their own to choose whatever they wanted in life. If they chose to stay in the...

  3. Nurse in the philippines,but have to moved in seattle

    caycay replied to jylyn8's topic in Washington Nursing

    I LOVE CVOR!!! We have clean patients. No pus, no cysts, no TURPs, no Hemorrhoidectomies , etsetera.... Usually, its a 12 hour shift and only 2 or 3 patients turnover. If its Thoracic...

  5. Iniative 1000-Death with Dignity

    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

    I suggest not to go out of our country without any work experience as a nurse. I know it so hard to find one but it will be harder to work abroad without any hands on experience. Before me and my...

  9. No work experience

    caycay replied to Chubachuchu's topic in International Nursing

    I agree with you. It's like going to the battlefield without even know how to use a gun. It will really be embarrassing not performing a simple task in front of your foreign colleagues just because...

  10. Demand for Nurses Abroad

    caycay replied to audkate's topic in International Nursing

    I admit that the quality of nursing education in the Philippines is really declining (let's face it!). I think one of the reason was since nursing is in demand, many schools (could I specify computer...

    My husband and I are planning to set a foundation for those poor bright students who wanted to go to college. Its like study now, pay later. The "pay later" means those of our graduate students who...

  12. Making things better for nurses in the Philippines

    caycay replied to suzanne4's topic in Philippines

    I also had a hard time finding work there when i graduated '98. That was the time when there were no hiring abroad so nurses were saturated. My dad who is a doctor wanted me to work in the hospital...

  13. Favorite specialty and why?

    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...

  14. Making things better for nurses in the Philippines

    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...

  15. What are your plans as a RN?

    caycay replied to gemini_star's topic in Philippines

    "I WILL BE ANURSE IN AUSTRALIA. Maybe Queensland or Victoria I will have to continue to apply online even with no experience at all. Then I will wait until I will gain experience.. After 1 1/2 years...

    caycay replied to simplepinay's topic in International Nursing

    Sorry about that. I applied NCLEX last October and received the eligibility last Decemeber and I didn't send my Phil license as their requirement. It was still recent so I really assume that it was...

  17. US immigrant, graduating Nurse in the Philippines

    caycay replied to simplepinay's topic in International Nursing

    Hi there, just read your article and I just thought if I could answer your query. You're a greencard holder. You can come here in the US whenever you want. You just apply for an NCLEX and need to pass...

    caycay posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Is there anyone of you register on NCSBN online review course? I checked the Kaplan RN QBank and was surprised on the fee. That was so freakin expensive!!! I also checked the NCSBN online review...
