Hi again and thank you for your reply LatinaVNSRN :nuke: well I am asking help for the patients not for the hospital. sadly, here in the Philippines most government hospitals like the one I am in, dont have enough supplies. In the hospital I am volunteering at patients are really poor, they have to buy their own supplies. I mean that during IV drug push,their syringes get re used... For example if they need IV push at 8am for ceftriaxone and another ceftriaxone push at another time the injection will be re used and not discarded immediately it is reused over and over again because the hospital has limited or no supply at all and patients don't have money to buy again. sometimes patient's wounds dont get dressed for quite a long time because there are no gauzes or other supplies, there are only 2 mercury thermometers which are being shared by 20 patients ... those are just some of the reasons why I started to ask help from my friends. I am just asking for extra stuffs from my friends like if they have spare sterile gauzes and gloves or a bottle of alcohol... It is sad indeed but honestly, I feel like my mini mission will be much more useful and fruitful at the moment than persuading the government. They know our condition, they know what they should be doing but perhaps they are just like some of the staff nurses I mentioned in my first post... They are likewise pretending to be busy. Well thanks again, I really hope I can find a job too.

Hi! I passed the NLE, NCLEX and IELTS,done with some the trainings (IVT,BLS,1st aid etc) submitted my resumes to hospitals and right now I am still UNEMPLOYED! I am also a full time volunteer nurse in one the hospitals in Manila(mon-fri 6am- 2pm) and yes, I also paid just to get in to this hospital as a volunteer. I do not regret what I am doing right now, even if I know that it will not count as a work experience in my resume and even if sometimes I feel a little bad about some of the regular staff nurses who do nothing but pretend to be busy and take advantage of the volunteer nurses, I dont regret it because I am learning a lot, not just the nursing skills, nurse patient relationship but also learning more about myself; the kind of nurse I want to be... compasionate and competent. A few days ago, I started a mini mission to help the poor patients In our ward, I am asking my friends to donate stuffs like gloves, cottonballs, masks, gauzes, digital thermometers (the hospital I am in is still using the mercury type), alcohols, liquid soaps, insytes, injections, even sterile water for injections etc. Wish me luck guys and I do hope that my mission will be a successful one. By the way if anyone here is from alabang, sucat, laspinas area and wants help in my mission just send me a pm.

Hi Suzanne and others I just want to ask, if the 3 yrs have lapsed and one wasn't able to supply their ssn# to cali boards will it mean that the person should take the NCLEX exam again after passing but failing to supply an ssn#? can one reapply in other states?

Hey pitbull i just got my result after 2wks and I passed too :yeah:

congrats! I'm so happy for you!

is it really bad if some of the questions seem easy? how do u tell if the questions were hard or easy? i mean what if u are well prepared for it? pls reply thanks =)

I had 5-6 sata, 2 computations, plenty of meds... priotization, delegation and my last question is a legal nursing issue. :redbeathe Today, I'm feeling more anxious waiting for the result than taking the exam yesterday. I :rolleyes:Hope we all pass:yeah::nurse:

I took the exam yesterday july 21,2008 It stopped at 75... I frozed when the computer screen went blank ... i couldn't recall anymore what appeared next did it say "you've finished answering the nclex "i dont really recall...even while answering the survey i just couldn't believe it was over, like you i wanted to answer more questions. when i got home i opened up my reviewers and searched for the answers for last 2 questions i had hopefully though i think i got them right. but i know that it's not a gurantee that's why im still feeling nervous right now. pls whisper a prayer for me too Goodluck and God bless us all:saint:
