read on Kjtin, there are A LOT of posts here regarding that. and you'll need PATIENCE..lots of it. welcome to nursing! :)

hahaha i say the first advice is true. Reference is a must, thats what they told me.

hey i suggest you review at Labagnoy, the lecturers are great! Especially in MS and Psych.but, may i add, enroll in another review center for the FINAL COACHING ( when it was L himself who was teaching). during that time I opted to stay home and self-review.. I learned much much much more that way. haha. Just my opinion... based on experience.

I went there last January 16 and they already stopped accepting applicants last January 6. .

well said, king ramon.

wow.. Its sad to know that such things happen. I just have to agree on what you said, maybe you should have been more ASSERTIVE and told them that they should have let you do it on your own, respectfully of course. Thats what I did when I completed my cases, they would not let me handle the patients for insertion unless I ask them if i could do it ( under their supervision of course ). Luckily I learned the techniques from these people. :) Im much more confident regarding my IVT skills because of this. Goodluck to you.

aww, so sorry to hear that...its been 6 months? wow, just like my situation here in the Philippines.. have faith ma'am, Im sure you'll be hired real soon. :up: I DO have a question though...:D I AM planning to become a USRN.. will probably apply for the state of new york/Texas. I have read repeatedly in this site that it will take about 5 years to have a CHANCE at a visa, and that's okay with me. I plan on working in other countries ( Australia/ New Zealand) first to gain experience during that 5 year wait... after all, I really plan to migrate in the US in the distant future because almost my whole clan is already there... LOL. Question is, if I sit and hopefully pass the NCLEX by 2010... any issues I should know regarding renewal of license in the said states? (during the said 5 year wait) I dont know if its a good plan. An uncle of mine who is an RN at Texas told me to take the NCLEX already "just to get it out of the way". Furthermore, I've read somewhere that the longer the time from graduation from nursing school that you take the NCLEX, the greater the failure rate. This scares me, thank you so much for answering this,,, this site has been very much helpful! :up:

You only have to bring your resume. :) ANd im not sure whether its a tertiary or secondary hospital..sorry, :)

thank you so much penicillin, for the elaborate warning! this is one valuable info for those who are looking for sponsors for the cap (like me.but still unsure about it since my experience is still lacking.. ) thank you! :)

Charting is done in English... (except for the subjective data when the patient speaks in his dialect) Ahm in the hospital we converse in Tagalog, with the fellow nurses and doctors ( well except for the Indian intern,, there's no difficulty speaking to him in English though.). And of course when conversing with the patient it depends on what language he (and you) can communicate better ( i had to learn Ilocano for my patients who cant express themselves in Tagalog.. ) why do you ask?

SAcred Heart Medical Hospital @ McArthur Highway Sto. Domingo Angeles City Pampanga. :) if you ride a jeep from sn fernando going to Angeles you'll pass by it for sure, its just meters away from the terminal. :)

hi guys! maybe this is the wrong thread.. but I passed my resume and got interviewed at SAcred HEart Hospital at Angeles. They said they will be having a Volunteer/Training program for free, 3 months in duration. The people there are VERY VERY accommodating... :) there;s no date yet as to when they would start this, since the hospital just opened last month and they only have 16 applicants for the volunteer program during that time. So I told the HRD that I'll share the good news.

I did! last week. still waiting for their call. lets think positive! :)

thank you sheikha! :) unf0rtunately i cant go today, because i learned that i have to get an SSS number first, so thats what im gonna do.... will go to QC tomorrow! much thanks for the help!

uhm all i know is about the IELTS. if you take that of the british council, it costs roughly 8000-9000. better check out their website, not difficult to navigate.

thnak you sheikha and griffin...will go to st lukes and CApitol med tomorro to check those out.. :) ahm, can u give me the directions on how to get to CApitol Med hospi from St. lukes at E.Rodriguez? :) thanksss!! arvicharlie,.,, its inside SBMA. I saw it after we went to Lourdes, coming from Baretto we entered the 1st gate going to SBMA, its about 10 meters from that. I dont know what that gate is called..sorry!

hi fellow nurses! I badly want to have a copy of SAunders Comprehensive REview for the NCLEX. But the problem is, my current budget is limited so i cant buy a NEW one.. hehe. so if anyone knows where i can get a used/second hand copy of this book i would really appreciate it. Thank You so much. :loveya:

guys. Ive just been to Lourdes Hospital this morning, and they said they're currently still not accepting applicants. . but the guard told me they WILL be accepting anytime soon, so just keep posted. by the way, its a very big hospital by the looks of it. :D glad to know there will be hundreds less unemployed nurses soon. and i just happened to pass by a construction site inside Subic which says: " soon to rise: Baypointe Hospital ". Any news regarding this? anyone knows if they;re currently hiring?? **crossing my fingers**

yes indeed,what else should we do? in my opinion, its better to spend time volunteering at a hospital and apply apply apply APPLY the nursing skills that i learned from college. as an uncle told me, "if you dont use it..YOU WILL LOSE IT"! im afraid that with each passing day, my grasp of the nursing profession gets weaker and weaker if io dont do nything about it. besides, volunteering is much better than staying at home and waiting.

sorry no idea when they;re gonna be opening again. :stone btw ive been hearing people say that hospital of the infant jesus at laong laan is going to accept applications this september, but i havent been able to come to the hospital personally. any news on this...?

try to search for the mp3 review of Kaplan (google it.. i dont know the exact site! sorry!) very helpful stuff, especially if your eyes are tired from reading and yet you still want to review. :) goodluck!
