I may have made some wrong and hasty decisions :crying2: but my focus now is to look for solutions. I didn't practice Nursing ASAP when I graduated (which was back in 2007). I worked as a customer service representative while waiting for the results...

@ Kingpin, thanks for sharing your experience. It's a bit urgggghhhh because we spend like a whole day waiting to be interviewed just to be rejected. and not because we're unqualified.... but because of Nursing. Oh well. It's like engaging in a sic...

thanks to those who took the time to reply. ^_^

Thanks Achie. I'm jobless right now. I tried applying again at call centers because I need to earn however..... Call centers won't hire me now because I give off a vibe that I'm just there to earn while waiting for hospitals to re-hire, which is act...

Let's also look at the gray side, not just dwell on the negative effect or conversely, think of MSN as an ultimately perfect decision. It is trouble, because it sets a higher standard for the newly graduates who do not have experience yet. And yes, i...

Yes, others like UP Manila, require at least 1 year hospital experience but other schools (like Concordia College) do not require it. Actually, I'm a part of that MSN-student-lacking-hospital-experience group. I used to work in a call center which ha...

yes, Let me join the club. I'd also self mutilate; shop impulsively and smoke non-stop (borderline personality disorder), binge-eat then starve (bulimia nervosa), feel sick as a result of unfulfilled needs like not getting the job i want(psychosomati...

To Kyckerz, that's sad.after weeks and weeks of waiting, and maybe expecting to become a part of the training, you'll get a response like that. urgggh. I'd feel the same way if I was in your shoes.What are your plans now? I can imagine the same scena...

I'm in the same situation as you are. My uncle can refer me to a hospital in Laguna as a volunteer but it would be better if I can do volunteer work in Manila or Makati. Please help us, guys. Thanks a lot.

VixenRN, when I did hospital-hopping last April. One of the hospitals I inquired if they're hiring applicants, was San Juan De Dios (which was one of our affiliate hospitals back in college), HR said they stopped hiring but "tentatively" may resume a...

VixenRN, I don't know if I'll regret my job at Convergys or not. Because I got the money for my Masteral tuition fees, nursing books (I wanted to buy) and Nursing DVDs by working there. And of course, money for my extracuriccular activities (shopping...

To kyckerz again, I'm sorry, I replied without reading your most recent post here. So, you were informed that your application is for manpower pooling? It must have been disappointing for you, as you waited so long for their call.

To kyckerz, honestly, I'm not attending classes in group dynamics lately (Very bad!) because of conflicts with my professor. Clue: I was supposedly a Psyche major, but switched to Medical-Surgical because of her. Anyway, let's not focus on that. I ju...

Hi VixenRN, I'm a June 2007 passer. For some reason, I enjoyed my work in Convergys, so I stayed there for almost 2 years. I saw this site and this drove me back to nursing. By the way, MMC is on freeze-hire. I just went there recently. Drop box loca...

Just to satisfy my curiousity, I went there yesterday and the drop box is closed. The guard situated on the 9th floor said that the pending applications are so plenty and bulky, MMC decided to freeze hire and to stop accepting applicants. He went on ...

I'm currently taking Masters of Science in Nursing, majoring in Medical Surgical. The challenge in taking up masters is when a person is working full time then if you're going full-load with the subjects (I'd say good luck to your weekend social life...

To kyckerz, I'll ask him this Saturday as he seldom replies in text messages. To clarify, did we apply for a staff nurse position in St. Lukes Global City? or in St. Lukes, QC? Because I submitted my resume in QC.And just like you, I'm still anxiousl...

I want to apply there, it's just very near Convergys, my recent workplace (Convergys, which is just a 15 or 20 minute travel from home, thus it should be very convenient!). It's quite depressing and ironic that I have to pass by Makati Med everyday, ...

I went to VRP a couple of weeks ago. They said that the board exam rating should not be lower than 80%, and yes, we should have an IV therapy training, if we want to apply there.

Re: Is it true that St. Lukes isn't hiring male applicants now?Male nurses are seen as more dominant and less submissive than female nurse. Read this as: Women are easier to control by management and less confrontational when there is a problem. In a...

:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat i just submitted my resume this monday. one of my insecurities is that i don't have any hospital experience yet. as for freeze-hiring of male applica...

good day fellow rns! :flwrhrts: i am a june 2007 nle passer. while i was anxiously anticipating for the licensure results, i hastily considered one of the mainstream options for the jobless and the newbies. call center. fast forward to almost 2 years...
