  1. SEC assessment ? A JOKE !!

    I see where your frustration is coming from, but please don't let it get the better of you. Is relocating to another province an option? Manitoba seems to be still hiring. You sound to me like a young...
  2. Thank you. As you
  3. Feigning innocence where it does not exist, only adds to one's culpability. If one can't or won't accept criticism, but can and will dish it out so freely to the entire Philippine nursing profession,...
  4. I believe this is the same poster who says she's ashamed to be a Filipino nurse? Clinical Instructors and lecturers with no hospital experience? - Page 8- Nursing for Nurses No. 76 Referencing the...
  5. This poster obviously did not graduate from a school that upheld the high standards that made the label Filipino Nurse a badge of honor, in the good ole' days. Such schools do exist, even during the...
  6. Philippine College of Health & Science(PCHS)

    Those who want the shortest cut to obtain a diploma aren't doing themselves and their would-be patients any favor. There's a reason why "schools" with no academic standards to speak of thrive: there...
  7. From the sound of it, this poster used "extra effort" to get a tourist visa to the US. Tsk,
  8. Most Expensive Nursing School in the Philippines?

    20 is actually 4% of 500, which, in any language, is an extremely dismal performance by any school, by any standard. This is clearly a case when one can't say "it's not about the school, it's about...
  9. Begging your pardon, but I think there are rules in this forum about writing in text language. Let's show some courtesy to the moderators and other posters by observing the rules. Besides, writing...
  10. I am willing to bet my last devalued peso that your classmate didn't get her diploma from a school. She more likely went to a forger and bought a cleverly crafted facsimile. Offers of counterfeit...
  11. MAN / MSN at UERM

    I am not familiar with the Master's Program at UERM but if it's any help, this school is one of only 5 in the country that is considered as a Center of Excellence for Nursing
  12. Am I correct in my understanding, that you really don't know how much the filing fees are? Seriously. Can't you Google that? Didn't you do any research prior to making the decision to apply as an...
  13. I will have to agree with Jan's observation. While some slack may be allowed the latest poster on account of her obvious youth, the question she presented is something that's been asked over and over...
  14. Nursing Schools in the Philippines

    do i think it's worth to study nursing in the philippines, you ask? my answer to that is an absolute, unequivocal yes, if and only if you take up the course in the right institution. the definition of...
  15. I honestly don't think there's a valid or sound enough reason to explain that kind of behaviour. That "pack mentality" smacks of immaturity, insecurity, even. I guess those people don't feel confident...
  16. Nursing Schools in the Philippines

    In connection with JADAYU's post, here's my two cents worth. As a nurse and a parent, I respectfully suggest that you take up your nursing course in a reputable school that has an established nursing...
  17. I find it inconceivable, that the fact that she's a nurse never came up during her visa interview. The occupation is normally the first thing that a consul asks. If officers at the port of entry are...
  18. I never had to take the test but my children did, and, at the risk of sounding immodest, one had a perfect score, and the other, a near perfect score. I taught them the rudiments of basic English...
  19. TOEFL is really just basic English. It's the English that we were taught in grade school until high school. Aside from practice tests, I doubt that there would be a lot of review materials that can...
  20. CRNE - Do they give temporary visas?

    I think it's important to point out that before you can sit for the CRNE, you first need to apply for assessment in the province where you intend to practice. This takes months, over a year even....
  21. Interesting article about "diploma mills"

    I have been absent from this forum for a while and read postings on this thread with some degree of amusement. The scenario, as described in the original link, could have taken place anywhere in the...
  22. A Foreign Grad Nurse in a Foreign Land

    Do accept my felicitations, too, LatinaVN (or should that be LatinaRN now), for a job well done. You deserve respect for dealing with all the hurdles and doing the work to realize your goal. As a...
  23. Agreed, westawakenings. I just hope that the younger ones would somehow take heed and not simply be defensive. I know very little about the practice of nursing in your part of the world. However,...
  24. Thank you for the insight and the honesty, westawakenings. I, myself, am not a rookie. I completed my training many moons ago from the school that's considered as the training ground for future...
  25. I can't agree with you more, westawakenings. One major problem, I think, is the false sense of entitlement of some of our colleagues. Paying hundreds of thousands of pesos to some unscrupulous agency...
