  1. Advice: Profile or Not?

    I agree with fluid restriction education and Na restriction in diet. It's really hard pulling that much fluid in a certain amount of time. Maybe an extra treatment in between his regular treatment schedule so that you're not pulling too much fluid ...

    In our health region we cleanse the site first before swabbing.
  3. More cosmopolitan? Regina or Saskatoon?

    Oh, I forgot electricity is usually around $40-50. Depending of course on you consumption. But most of my friends and I have the roughly the same electricity bill.
  4. More cosmopolitan? Regina or Saskatoon?

    My apartment is $750 (one bedroom space). Mostly range from 350 (bachelors' pad) to 1000+ (for two bedroom space). Mostly, landlords will pay for the heat and water while the tenants pay for the energy. You will have to give security deposit (whi...
  5. cannulation

    I am fairly new in the renal business, but so far I'm loving it! I was an ICU nurse for quite sometime and shifting to hemodialysis was a great adjustment. Just have one question: 1. I am average when it comes to cannulation and I really want to imp...

  7. PGH feedback

    Ok, let's put it this way, assuming that you are the employer, will you hire a person that has no plans to stay in your company after training you? I guess no, right? Well, that's my answer. They will ask you about your plans in 5-10 years time. ...

    PEDIA ICU (PICU) CENTRAL ICU (CENICU) POST-ANESTHESIA CARE UNIT (PACU) NEUROSURGERY SPECIAL CARE UNIT (NSSCU) I don't know about the APCN.. I love PGH! :redpinkhe

  11. PGH feedback

    Yes it is! Especially if you don't have anything to do.
  12. PGH feedback

    Their is no discrimination. I assure you that their hiring process is transparent and just. Your board rating would be a plus but won't be the sole determinant. You just have to go through the whole process.
  13. Philippine General Hospital

    You don't have to be graduates of those schools. It's quite commonplace here in the Philippines that hospitals tend to have a little bias on those nurses they have produced. For example, the school of nursing of Chinese General Hospital would somew...

    Batch 2006.. Toxicities? Be careful what you wish for! hehe.. I wouldn't ask for that if I were you! You wouldn't like it! But if it's toxicity that you're looking for, you came to the right place! I wouldn't see you there because I'm al...
  15. Philippine General Hospital

    It's only basic stuff like suctioning, skin testing, enteral feeding, etc. Don't worry too much. I am sure that what they will ask you will be stuff that was taught to you in college. :)
  16. PGH feedback

    Wow! Schoolmate! I am guessing that you wouldn't have any problem with the interview. Besides, one of the members of the panel was my previous Head Nurse in PGH. He is a PLM graduate as well. He is very strict yet kind at the same time. I kno...

  18. how can i be a nurse midwife here in phillipines

    @scrap: I have sent the form already. I am not updated if nurses are still allowed to take the midwifery exam without additional units. Better ask PRC about it. :)
  19. agency in the philippines to assist in CRNE

    @ pongsky: why do you need to have an agency? You can do it yourself. If you need help with any of the process, you can ask here in the forum or you can PM me. I am an RN here in Canada.
  20. where/when did you graduated?

    Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila Batch 2006 :)
  21. PGH feedback

    Your plan might not be God's plan for you. He has better plans for you I'm sure of that! Besides, they still have to wait for the hiring process... I know that DNET is just doing this for manpower pooling, so I am guessing they would hire those wh...
  22. Philippine General Hospital

    Sorry for the delayed reply. I was busy settling in a new place. How you asked? I applied like everybody else. I was batch 2006. I took the exam, NPE, panel interview, final interview, and the physical/medical exam. I applied during my voluntee...
  23. PGH feedback

    @ ubersupeRN: I really want to help! Have you scheduled for another examination? If it is possible to take it, then have it scheduled already. I don't know the things that would come out in the examination. Back when I took the exam, it was the s...
