robocop, i tried to refer you to gambutrol. gambutrol, would you be kind enough to help out robocop? =) the board of midwifery is taking the necessary steps to regulate the nurse-midwives thorugh more requirements.=)

i've also read about a PNA scholarship for those entering nursing, it's somewhere here posted. is that scholarship part of our fee? i do hope it is because it could be the only visible productive activity from our YEARLY fees.

thanks ledzil! i might call up the school after i take some exams.

two weeks ago i was able to register without any oath taking.

over-all cost for a graduating student here (including tuition fee) is near 50 thousand pesos! goodness!

hi ledzil! on what days did you take your masters? i heard that they offer it on saturdays.

gambutrol: i still have to ask my dean about that. i didn't bother to ask her last time. i'd try talking to her. robocop: the school actually has a set of those forms already. i'd still be having a peek at it since i'd be finalizing my delivieries by...

I'm about to take the midwifery examination this april. i heard that this would be the last exam wherein RN's could easily take the board exam as long as the deliveries are completed. the next examinations would have another set of requirements. i c...

i'm having ambivalent feelings on whether i should really get a PNA card "cartolina" this year. could someone please share on where the funds are going? the fees are quite high and so many nurses are getting it but then no accounting or auditing is p...

since you're already an RN here in the Philippines, you could take the midwifery exam if you complete their alloted number of deliveries (75 i think), 5 sutures, and 5 ivf. After completeing such, go and file at the nearest PRC office. You may also t...

aside from all the risks that nurses are presumed to face once assigned in far-flung areas, we must also look at the "risks" that the patients/ and or people living in those areas are going to face once unexperienced nurses go there to "serve". This...

Hi esjay! hi rene3! to esjay: wow! thanks for the information! i hope i could go there this weekend to inquire personally but the data you gave me is really helpful. much thanks! to rene3: hi there! yes, i hope to use my continuing education to the b...

Hi jahda! yes being hep b+ could never be a gauge in one's true abiliies. I just wish that someday we'd have what we yearn for and be successful in our profession. I hope to hear from you soon!

There are so many suggestions here on this forum for unemployed nurses to do better than wait and continue hoping for the much coveted green cards. There's nothing wrong with being hopeful but being realisitic is being needed today. The continous ...

the power of money, or let's say the "need" for money here in the phil is blindly guiding the shools which operate on a mediocre basis. they are not doing much on enhancing the learning opportunities of the students unless another "fee" is incorporat...

hi zerisse! thanks for replying on this thread! yes, a lot of filipino's are carriers but despite this fact, the discrimination is high here. it's quite difficult to openly discuss this issue to other persons and the information that is likely to be ...
