Ok,I just had a job interview that I sort of blew due to "too much assertiveness and honesty",i think.. I'm really having a hard time answering questions coz im always caught between giving the truth or giving a lie but i know that's what an HR would...

culturally,yes..We are not argumentative in nature and its a taboo to argue publicly but lemme be an exception to that...i know a LOT of Filipinos here are just lurking,probably having some headache reading the same thing over and over again from the...

after months of hibernation,i have to speak up.... seriously,why is is that the same people here are talking about the same thing over and over against Philippines? dont you ever get tired with your "usual speech"? just wondrin... Is there something ...

I promise not to bother myself anymore with this but i'll break it just this once:coollook:.... GEEeeZZZZz,are we still talking about the same thing over and over again here??? is it just me who gets tired reading this?? Just a suggestion,maybe you ...

If there is a questionable post you should report it. I've never seen moderators let a offensive post slide when it's been reported. Not sure about the International forum but the Politics forum gets pretty heated. Maybe you guys should give the mode...

Well I suppose its no longer necessary that I shall include the username. I dont want to because I still have some respect for him. But the thread can be found in the philippine forum-the american dream:do not lose hope. It doesnt matter where he is ...

hhmm personally i find this statement offensive..I dont know with other filipinos..But for the sake of giving an example,let's try this.. when i went to recent vacation in philippines ... i found out that not only is every other citizen studying to b...

the issue here is NOT really about foreign nurse vs. americans. Our grievances are not directed to ALL americans but to certain posters in this forum. let me be just clear on that.I do not even care if they came form America or any other country,but ...

Thanks yogi for posting this.. We have the same sentiments..I plan to post something like this but i was afraid to do so ..Coz i noticed that once a foreign nurse (or filipino nurses to be more specific) post some questions about going to US,or post ...

:chuckle the diagram is interesting..

Don't dream for something that you're not, or for something that you can't just be and who are you to say that philly? Just because you are now an "american" and gradauted as a "cum laude" and as a "board topnotcher of your times" ,as you have proudl...

Yes,philly. Was there a different assessment/qualification during your time that you have to undergo before going to america?

I'm just wondering and I have no intention to get into a fight..This might be somewhat off the topic but I don't want to make a new thread.So i understand if moderators will delete this... BUT... What's with Filipino nurses and philippine nursing th...

that's what happened to the nursing program in our school in the early 90s..even though they are performing well(at least for Philippine standards), they have to stop the program since many of their graduates can no longer find a job.. it was in 2002...

It is no longer the responsibility of the student nurses to fill in the places of staff nurses if they are lacking... She should have hired more staff and not just rely on student nurses to fill in those slots.

Another possible contributory factor to the current problems of the nursing profession is the "choosiness" of a lot of the unemployed licensed nurses. The POEA has said it has unfilled job orders of more than 20,000 nurses for health facilities in th...

Maybe because a lot of hospitals here follow functional nursing.. and new nurses usually are assigned as medication nurses first..and furthermore,with the nurse patient ratio here in phil,it is impossible for nurses to do the am/hs care.. So many pat...

15 Student nurses to 1 patient? Is that for real? I mean,how can you do the tasks if there are 15 student nurses sharing for 1 patient? I haven't encountered anything like that during my student days. In fact,we usually have 1 student nurse: 1-5 pati...

Hi! The show is called no reservations and its shown in discovery travel and living channel if you have that on your cable .Yup,they do repeat their shows..I'll just post here as soon as I know when it will be shown again.. Well Saudi isn't that bad ...

I agree that Lacharity did help me a lot on developing my critical thinking and prioritization skills. I think the questions there are harder than the actual NCLEX questions but that's the idea there-you let yourself get used to tough questions. So ...

Hi! I just watched a show from Anthony Bourdain from discovery travel and living. Saudi was featured. Maybe you want to watch it too since most of us are clueless on what's life like there in Saudi. I know most of us here are hesitant and afraid to g...

oh sorry latinaVNStudentRN2B,i got you confused... hehe I was just being sarcastic when i asked if volunteer work is a requirement now..:)its not really a written requirement to be a volunteer nurse before becoming a staff nurse..There are still luck...

ooppsss sorry for the late reply.i just read your message..yes,i might consider saudi arabia if i still cannot get any job here..I am still waiting for calls from the hospitals here so if things wont work out for me this december,off to saudi then..S...

And i thought we are over this topic... Anyhoo,just want to clarify some points.. 1.Here in the US students go away to college, not only do they learn college level courses but learn to be independent in their daily living ( how to budget money, how ...

Thank you for understanding me.I used to just lurk here and try my best to keep my mouth shut but something has to be said to correct some misconceptions . Sorry your thread is somewhat off topic now. I just hope that some people here wont bring anym...
