hi! I still don't have a reply from the hospitals that I applied with. It's really advantageous if you know someone in the hospital that will help you get hired. If you don't know someone, you have to be patient and wait for several years to get hired. I thought we are also experiencing shortage of nurses. I never thought this is really happening to all nurses in the Philippines!!!!! Hope retrogression will be lifted soon.

Actually, you are not alone. I can't find a job, too. We should be patient and think positive. What I'm doing now is a volunteer work and training. Some hospitals hired their trainees after training. I know sooner we can find job. just keep on looking. Be patient and pray.

If I were you, I'll grab the opportunity. Nowadays, nurse will do anything just to get hired.Think about it. Opportunity like this only knock once. you'll never know if there are other opportunities that will come your way. We have to learn to sacrifice some things but I know it will be worth your effort. You can resign from the hospital if in case you think it's not really for you. Good Luck!

hi guys! thanks for the info. I'm eager to practice my profession. Ok, i'll keep on sending my resume to them. just in case there's news about hiring, please inform me. thank you. God bless.

I took the NLE last June 2007. I just got my license last Dec. 27, 2007.

I took the board last June 2007 and I suggest that you review on the following topics/books: Public Health nursing in the Phil (authored by DOH) Med/surg of UDAN First AID Nursing research Psychiatric Nursing Basic skills and procedure in nursing I'm sure that you'll not be taking the same exam but during our time, I didn't encounter OB questions. more on med surg, nursing research, psych, first aid, nursing interventions, assessment, nursing process hope this information will help you. God bless on your exam! you can do it. You just have to STUDY and PRAY!

Hi guys! I need help. I am a new registered nurse. Has anyone know a hospital that is hiring for staff nurse or a hospital that has training for new graduate nurses this feb or march 2008? I have inquired in so many hospitals but I had a hard time looking for one. Thank you very much. :balloons:

After four years of sleepless nights studying nursing, what's next after graduation? what's next after passing board exam? At first we thought that after finishing a nursing course, it would give us relief and assurance of a great future. Unfortunately, it would not be easy. It would not be easy looking for a job or even looking for training. There were thousands and thousands of new nurses in the Philippines without jobs. Some nurses tend to find job not related in their field of expertise just to survive. I am still hoping and praying that nurse organizations and the government will find ways to fix the unemployment of nurses in the Philippines.

What license are you pertaining to? license for IV meds? I haven't heard of that. What I know is a nurse should undergo training in IV therapy. This training includes med administration thru IV route, blood transfusion, mixing IV medication, setting up IV line and inserting IV and TPN. After finishing this training, you will apply at ANSAP (located at Lourdes hospital) for an IV license/card.

I went to poea to apply. I'm a new RN without experience. MOH accepts nurses without experience but they need the board certificate (the paper na parang diploma). My application was turned down because I didn't have that cert. It will take 6 months (from the date of registration) to get this cert according to PRC.

Hi! i know a hospital that has IVT training. I was trained there and now I have my IV card from ANSAP. That's Martinez Medical Hospital, you may call them at 2855091. God bless!
