We did this to ourselves. Exploitation has sprung from our own desperation. Many nurses already lost dignity because they let this thing happen to them. What happened to 4 years of hard work, sacrifices and suffering during college life? How about th...

Hi CastaRN, can you send me the details? I have 1 yr 10months exp in 8 bed capacity ICU. I would really like to apply for the job. Many thanks.

Anybody knows a cheap place to take the bridging program? My uncle will be financing my studies and I don't want him too spend to much for me. I don't have any relatives there so any suggestions would help. I will be finishing my 2nd yr. of paid wor...

Hi guys, I lost track of this thread for about a year so here's a couple of questions just to refresh my memory. Right now I intend to migrate to Oz (again!) with my family, I'm practicing right now here in the Philippines for almost 2 yrs. I need to...

Updates.. The hospital has undergone its' inspection for the permit and the chief nurse told us that the permit would probably be issued on Feb. 8. Dry run of operation will be on Feb. 10 and the blessing for the hospital will be the day after that. ...

AFAIK, they freeze hire for the meantime.. Trainees will be deployed on the 3rd week of Feb, hopefully. OPD will open first then other departments will follow. Unless they will require additional staff, they will resume hiring. This will all depend ...

I don't really know how long the training would be but the first batch came in 2nd week of July. Haven't ask them about the examination but as far as I know, there will only be interviews. And yes, they do have their own nursing school but only 6 st...

Updates regarding Our Lady of Lourdes International Medical Center Training for new nurses have started. Hiring is still ongoing but they prioritizes their graduates. I'm thinking of moving there if they also have dorms for nurses - just like their ...

Well, for me I would only take this exams if I am prepared and sanely serious about going abroad, more specifically, USA.. Ielts has a 2 yr expiration period so it will be invalid after the time frame.. With your situation and if given that you have...

I think they will begin operation next month.. They already pulled out some of our nurses and orderlies to work there. But I'm not really sure when they will start. Anyway you should try to inquire there or here if you want to. Regarding the other h...

My co-worker is taking her masters at PWU - Philippine Women's University. Fees are reasonable, around 10k - 13k per semester. In addition, you also have to take your major exams personally at their classrooms. So that would be a problem for you, bei...

Already found it.. This made me think again about pursuing to take nclex.. Grr..

Hi everyone, Do they consider probationary position as professional hospital experience? Just in case somebody already ask this with the graduate school, if not, might as well ask them directly.. Thanks in advance..

It's still better to try. I currently have a job right now and no future plans of applying to other hospitals. Experience is my priority right now. Anyway gudluck to you. It's really difficult to land a job nowadays.

I think the one in Angeles is currently hiring. The hospital's name is Sacred Heart Medical Center, i think. You should have exceptional credentials to get hired, or the other route, you should know someone, powerful enough - you know what i mean. Th...

There is a hospital here in Angeles, Pampanga that will be opening this year (I think June). It's a teriary hospital. Try to consider it. Some of my fellow nurses here came all the way from Olangapo and Baguio. There is also a hospital I know that is...

I couldn't disagree more, a school's passing rate doesn't concern or relate to its students. One good example is the recent board exam. Kindly check how the topnotcher's school performed and see for yourself. To TS: Let's hope for the better..

Hehehe.. Don't you think it's time for you to carry yourself and be independent?I don't think you'll be accompanied by your maid when you get out of the country.. IMHO, I'll stay with my current hospital because in government hospitals, "in reality",...

NLE has a 25% certainty of competency (4 choices - 1 correct answer) Passing it on some luck could be a possibility, but I doubt if one could guess all the correct answers that requires him|her to pass. I think one needs 60% of what the top notcher ...

Let's not forget that we have chosen this profession. Let's not put all the blame to our government nor the crisis and retrogression we are experiencing right now. All of us don't want these things that are happening, in the first place. I just hope ...

Basic trainings that most hospitals in Manila requires (as what I noticed): 1. IV training 2. BLS training However, as what the saying says, "The more the merrier".

@babypinktoes_08 I'm here in Pampanga right now, as it's very hard to land a job in the metro. Our hospital name is Our Lady of Mt Carmel Medical Center. I've been in the ward for 3 weeks then for some unknown reason they transfered me to the ICU. I'...

This november 08? If yes, then there's no license your you to renew.. The test is just the first step for you to have the license. The second is oath taking (although some bypasses this) then the next one is for you to register in the roster list of...
