Hi.. Im a newly registered nurse here in the philippines graduated last march 2008 and passed the june 2008 board exam. I am very much interested in forensic nursing, can somebody help me on how I can be a forensic nurse here in the philippines? thank you for those kind-hearted who can help me.

YAh right, where is SRO located? Is it near any lrt/mrt station?

same goes with me.. Im also a June 08 board passer and I just recently noticed that it was already 9 months have passed and still I am unemployed. It was really so depressing that we spend a lot of money (for our tuitions, uniforms, allowances, expensive books, paraphernalias and review expenses) for us to be able to become RN and now we made it but here we are now -- unemployed. I already have my 3 months volunteer training here in one of the tertiary hospitals in my province but It was still not enough. I applied to different job postings abroad but ended up rejected because I don't have the required years of experience they needed. And just like you, I felt pressured and sometimes annoyed by what my parents are implying to me but I can't do anything. What I can suggest to you is you can send applications to different hospitals there in manila ( near or far to your place, you really need to invest time, money and effort) and patiently wait for their response and while waiting for it, don't let time pass you by doing nothing productive. You can attend nursing seminars/trainings that will add up to your qualifications/skills because one day these will help you a lot. Don't lose hope or even let thoughts of quitting empower you, just always keep in mind that the right time for the right opportunity for you will come. I just want you to know that we are on the same boat, but those advice I gave you is what makes me going despite of all the difficulties I have now in searching for a better career as a nurse. Just always remember, you're not alone dude!!:wink2:

Unfortunately, I haven't passed my application yet. I went there last February 23 but I wasn't able to submit it coz I went there to accompany my father for his eye check up and I learned from a friend that they are only accepting application for cetn and what shocked me that time is the P10,000 fee for the training that made me decide not to pursue applying anymore. is it true that they stopped accepting application already?

mae_rn07, did they text you for cetn program or for employment already? Are you june 08 board passer?

As far as I know, they are accepting underboard MUSLIM nurses.

If you are not residing in one of the listed cities/ municipalities in the NARS program, you can still register if you were BORN in one of the chosen municipalities/cities listed on NARS program. That's what my friend did and it works.

I also applied to this NARS pogram online thru the dole website and I just received an email today from dole that my registration was accepted and they already gave me my control no and they also told me to wait for the advice from dole on what to do next. By the way, I reside in one of the municipalities here in Camarines sur which is also NOT included on the list that they have there that's why I was really amazed that my registration was approved. So, to all people out there who wants to try you may do so, anyway there's no harm in trying, right?

I dont think PGH will entertain emailed application or even if you submit your resume personally for staff nurses position because as far as I know this March, they are only entertaining applications for nursing assistants and they are very strict with it because they said that there will be separate dates/ schedule for passing applications for staff nurses but as of now they don't have schedule for it yet. If you doubt this information, you can contact them or if you're near pgh you can go directly to their office. hope this helps..
