Sometimes how we see ourselves scares us about how others might think of it... I don't blame you i also had a similar experience last year.... There are times... some patients tend to co-manage your actions..thinking they're older and much wiser....and the person inside of you shout's out.. "Im the nurse here!".... Well that's ok... you just need to be confident. and that takes time... don't allow them to judge your appearance.. just simply do what's best and expected of you...if you stick to that.. you can't go wrong... and you'll earn a bonus of good compliments from your patients.... for your youthful looks and your superb service.. hehehehe.,.,,, cheer up!!!

not much..you don't need to sacrifice all....except ofcourse your money and your time!!!. u do need to balance everything... in maximum doses.... much time will eaten for your studying alone... but u can make it fun.. with some study partners... i call it... a group study activity.. you can make jokes..related to disease physiology or weird names of drug or illnesses...practically making it easier and faster to absorb information... as well as making good recall... so enjoy..... and Do pray .. a lot.. thats the much sacrifice you need to take things up!!!! :)

True, there are schools hiring...incompetent clinical instructors..but not every school in the Philippines does otherwise...I came from reputable University in the Philippines with a very high passing rate in the NLE.. and I must say that they have lived up to the standards ... I never came across a newly inexpereienced clinical instructor during my student days.. Most of my CI's are experts in their feild... So I guess it all boils down to choosing the right school that offers quality education...not just any nursing school found in somewhere...

If there not counted as experience for jobs outside the country...then its really sad that a lot of new graduates fall for this training programs ..and volunteer jobs found now in most hospitals in the Philippines ..that doesn't pay at all and what worst its being abused by the Hospitals today.

I was wondering Again how the leaders of Nursing Organizations in the Philippines like the PNA, are seeing this problem or perhaps they just wont???! ... I haven't felt anything done to regulate further somehow the number....correct me if I'm wrong about what I have said..

Wow!...it really makes me wonder how competition w:smiley_ab will rise from this number... in the coming years we all have strive for a job.. in the US..if there will be??....

Im not for or against any review centers.. but it seems that a lot of these big review centers have lost some of there standards in delivering good quality review.. ive heard a lot from different grad nurses in Cagayan De Oro and iligan in different major review centers that the rationales/after every mock exam were not satisfactory if not poorly given to them.... or... they were hiring... new speakers who lack educational or professional history... some of them even promise a lot of programs within the review that were disappointing and misleading,, buttom line.... Its not the review center that is important but really your efforts to prepare well for your exam.... it would be much better if you asses your study habits/learning styles first and seek the review center that would cater best for your preparation.... Good luck :)

I heard MAN, ( Master's of Arts in Nursing) requires you to finish a thesis than MSN..... I'm considering to start my Master's this coming semester. I'm concern about tranfering to another University by the time I'll move for a job, would the rules be the same llike transfering undergraduates??? will my earn units be credited to other Schools easily?.. or would it be hard for them to credit it ???

It seems starting on your career as a staff nurse in a reputable hospital to gain experience, has been a national problem...atfirst, I thought it was more contain from where I am ...due to the limited hospitals here...but reading all these....makes me really think its a nightmare...we are facing now @!!...

Ive tried NG Review..... The point is... there is no review center that can garantee your passing..I suggest, What you need to do first is find out what kind of a learner are you..? and Which review center would help you in preparing .ASk them how they do their Review classes are done??? it will give you an idea if it fits your learning style and your schedule too ... Do you retrive much information..on remembering long and intenseve reviews ...?? or are you fine with the Question and Answer type of review... do you need visuals to help you remember ..do they have it on their classes??.. you can ask them or those who have tried that review center .. ??? it's really up to you Good luck!!!

Has he done his research??? i mean his from UP... is he serious??? infact, he doesn't even have to.. he can just look at the rising number of new graduates plus the jobless ones lurking around the country hoping to get atleast a trainning slot from any hospital who wants to take advantage out of the high number of applicants... just to get an experience for future...staff position or perhaps ... use as a job experience for overseas jobs... Clearly he left out ,... the qualifications that foreign nurses must comply to get a job overseas...how does he suggest to move this rising number of nurses without experience to work outside that instant??..Not to mention, the retrogression,and monetary reasons to find a job.??.. Now then, he is in no position to tell ..... schools haven't been teaching resourcefulness.... He should have been resourceful himself to take a closer look at the reality among new nurses in the Philippines....

I do hope the PNA...:) would raise this issue to all hospitals ... and make action to really enforce such laws...from what Pinkroyalty said.. i realize we have a lot of laws proctecting us in the work place.. but do these laws have teeth??? anyhow, a far greater matter..(ive heard a lot of stories form mentors) some abuses are just left to be forgotten and nurses envolved keep quiet about it ... i hope this isn't true...

Hey, I just would like to ask,..is anyone here tried applying for the second time? I mean really back to the first exam and all...Were you accepted ?...

Try LPL Manor...Salcedo Suites.. its just a block to Trident towers a short walk..... try checking their website for their accomodations/reservations....

If you have the money then, and well prepared to take the Nclex.. it's youre' call....remmember it will take sometime to process while... taking the ielts won't be too long and less costly...plus it would bring you more options other than the US, if you get an OBS of 7... to countries like NZ,,,...Good luck!!!
