if your not picky... I think you might end up getting a job as an assisstant or a caregiver first...

UPHSD- LP batch 2009 RN 2010

wow.. Where is NCclex here in manila?? damage?

some pinoys thought it would be easier to just take-off after graduating from a uni in the philippines and just take the NCLEX in the US. Well, totally a different set of paperwork.. and a whole lot of expenses... Would be a diff story if you came from a top/good university.. then they will just send your credentials or any paperwork that you need. if not.. suffer the consequences.. if you dont have someone in the philippines to follow up your paper work from your old school.. it wont do you any good... you have to wait for a few months before you can get it together... anyway.. considering you pass the nclex-rn exam in your state... how easy would it be to get a job without any RN experience...??? Im beginning to worry now since a relative of mine who is in CA told me that RN experience should now be from Tertiary hospitals (philippine-based) .. you guys know what I mean... you guys are lucky.. your already there.. and some of you maybe have relatives to stay with... but passing the NLE, and passing a few req to take the NCLEX-rn is so much easier..

A friend even told me that I can find a sponsor to give a temporary working visa.. typical jobs would be a caregiver? that is if i go in the US a tourist.. but I have to wait for the working visa before I start to work.. worst, is I need to extend my stay as a tourist while waiting... what do you guys think?

What's an entry level work that she can do for 6months-1year so she can apply as a nurse in a hospital? im quite confused with the terms used here.. but I'm guessing that she can be a CNA (if a nclex-rn passer or not??). or a nurse aid, caregiver??? are these jobs allright as an experience before going to a hospital..? We actually have a relative to stay with there.. but its not going to be permanent. as long as we can provide for ourselves.. we can start moving out.. They rent a place in jersey goes to work in NY.. since rent in jersey is not as high as NY.

HI guys.. it's been a while since I posted here.. Me and my future wife are both Local passers (NLE). She is a permanent resident in the US and Im trying my luck renewing my Tourist visa tog with my family by next yr so we can travel together. We also have a little angel baby boy who's turning 4 next yr. He is already a permanent resident since he was able to go there (US) before he was 2y/o (lucky) I graduated march 2009 - Passed the NLE dec2010 She graduated march 2010 - passed the NLE dec2010 Were planning to take the NY nclex exams by next year. Since were still completing the req for the CVS (cgfns) verification. Its a bit expensive and Im already considering spending the money I saved before. We are currently not working since it is really hard to look for Nursing jobs here in the Philippines now. Considering that most hospitals here have diff standards in the US, even if we get hired, it will be totally different when we go to the US. Its really hard to get an experience here. We are planning to review at Pentagon in Manila. They have a 100% passing rate for the past 10 years that's why we are taking our chances going to that review center. If we pass.... What are our chances of getting a job in NY? Considering she's a permanent resident... and I'll be coming in as a tourist.. Some say that if you dont have any experience. you can try looking for nurse assistant, nursing aide, caregiver jobs. 6months-1year experience. i'm just confused since there is a diff set of exams for being a CNA. Will the NCLEX-rn license be allowed to work as an assistant... I'm currently looking for options right now since we really dont know what's waiting for us there. it's even harder for me since I currently dont have a visa right now. But if we decide on getting married and file for a petition. it think it will be a 2-3 years wait for me before I can go there. Most of you guys are already there in the US but find it hard to pass the exams.. But for some.. it's even harder to get out of the Philippines first. There are a lot of review centers here in the Philippines and a way lot cheaper on what you pay there in the US. Maybe you can try going back first (just to pass) then look for a job after passing. right?

Im currently here in dubai.. I'm here for a fancy vacation. Im staying with my siblings since my dad is working here as a EHS manager. Its on the engr'ng driven scene.. He has a reasonable monthly salary and an unbelievable allowance (higher than the salary) I've been a business BUM back in the Philippines but I have finished my degree in Nursing. (not yet aan NLE passer) since I was doing business all the time even I was a student, father-my self for 2years. Im thinking if working here would be reasonable for the two of us (me and my future wife, with my son as well) .. since my dad will be supporting us (shelter, food, probably some extra cash for shopping). First, I was really surprised since the starting salary is not that big .. all though if its combined(future-wife also a future nurse).. somehow it reasonable.. but the thing is... how long will we last here... doing something for 1 yr makes me sick... i've been in business for the past 4-5years.. and every year I tend to infuse my self to venture on new things... and probably that's one good reason I make enough money .. but Im just afraid (losing hope) on where Im going next with my business.. it's a small business... one of this, one of that, doing this and doing that... it's a whole diff thing when we talk about my degree as a nurse.. It's more of gratifying my hobby and making it work for my everyday needs. but it's no joke... Reward is great but sometimes it's really tiring.. hands on with everything.. and there are also times that business is not quite that good and at the same time.. you spend too much cash... that what freaks me out.. I was thinking of working here as a nurse and at the same time keep my business functioning while Im gone.. but I don't have candidates to replace me.. but it will be a diff venture again.. Something that would require 75% of my savings... so it's really a stressful decision. Actually i just want everything to work out.. BE a nurse(degree I finished.. be father to my 2 yr old son, Big banger businessman "for the flaws off course" .. loving husband to my wife.. and a healthy person who can still sleep and enjoy everything before the age of 45... - you think it's possible? I just can't answer my self right now if I would still have the time if Im a full time nurse here... I didn't know what got in to me, just now. while typing this down.. confused? exhausted? disturbed?

Anyone working here in Dubai? Just want to know the breakdown of you allowance? living allowance to be exact.. like housing, transportation and food... do they give it along with your monthly salary?
