hey yoo jin, I wanna get out of this situation that we're in! It's like im drowning in a seafull of nurses here in our country. If one foreign nurse would work in our hospital,then they would understand our healthcare system on how our govt "values" nurses, how we are overworked and underpaid, how we have to endure worse nurse patient ratio's and if we nurses get sick we have to pay our own bills, our beloved govt doesn't care about our benefits...and the list would go on. Regarding the volunteer stuff. I refuse to pay those hospitals who charges volunteer fees. Why should I pay? I am giving my services for free for that matter. And for those who are volunteering right now and experiencing those "hard to take duty woes" = this is a form of payback time from the regular staff..coz during their time they also experienced this-when they were volunteering I never imagined that this would be hereditary...lol

everytime I see nursing students I want to tell them and say "Run and shift to another course! Your lives will be ruined!" hehehehe...well the most pathetic course here in our country is the allied health course (nursing,doctor,PT,OT,caregiver etc) because every pinoy whenever they're sick, most of them won't consult a doctor yet until their case is worse. So the formula goes for the healthcare in our country (and most of you would agree with me): Sick+no money= death

good luck and I really hope you've passed!!! Anytime now, you'll receive your PASS news!!!

Hey awfullysweetgal! I'm pleased to say I've passed the nclex-rn! So far your advice in how to conquer it on your post really worked for me! My computer shut off at 265 (whew!) and had 23 SATA (imagine!), 5 med calculations, lots of infection control,prio and delegation. Tons of psych and meds! (I hated those!) I was like noooo this can't be, pharm was not my cup of tea! And I had a mix of easy and hard questions. I had a couple of diagrams, drag and drop, and arrange in order. I was worried at my last question because it was way too easy (basic stuff) and I thought I didnt make it....i was crying a lot and I coudn't care less that people were staring at me as I went home that day. Thank you so much for the advice! I don't know how to PM you so i've searched your previous post and well just to say thanks :) I guess reading your post made me reflect on my studying habits. I too was sick upon seeing the big and thick saunders book. But now...I can't believe it I've finished studying the whole thing! Thank God i've passed this test the 4th and last time! Wooohooo! Time to hit the beach! party time!

Hey congrats! Nice advice you got there, I will certainly use your form of studying! I have made also a calendar to keep myself on track-it really helps! Your story is an inspiration to me to strive hard and pass the nclex! I hope i'll pass too! Congratulations once again!
