  1. Feeling so lost in my career

    Hi everyone, Thought I'd bare it all here because I feel like I've reached the end of my tether and I feel hopelessly lost in my career. I do hope you won't judge me. I have been a nomadic nurse for...
  2. Recent RN or CPN in Montreal, Quebec

    hi miasat! i'm currently in the philippines. i've already read and did my research concerning integration program for internationally educated professional nurses. my application packet and...
  3. Lies of the ER.....

    I wouldn't really try to call them lies but self preservation mechanisms. Some people come to the ER with all sorts of stories to cover up the true yet embarrassing circumstances by which the events...
  4. IENs wanting to work in Quebec

    Honestly, I always feel like backing out everytime I read your response. That means that I am not taking your responses for granted. The last thing I wanna do is be stubborn when someone who has far...

  6. IENs wanting to work in Quebec

    @janfrn: I also don't think and expect to get my PR visa from my consultancy but from whatever council or legal office assigned for that purpose. I am aware that consultancy or agency only offers...
  7. IENs wanting to work in Quebec

    My consultancy will (that's what they promised). But surely, I will not be passive when it comes to the processing. I will have to try my best to be hands-on with everything. As promised, they will...

  10. IENs wanting to work in Quebec

    One thing isn't clear to me miasat. Did you take the french exam? Or did you not? And if you did not? How were you able to move to another province without a PR visa? According to what my source said...
  11. IENs wanting to work in Quebec

    Thank You, janfrn! At least I am informed now of the downsides. I did some surfing and came across hospitals in Montreal that do not necessarily require one to speak French. What can you say about...
  12. IENs wanting to work in Quebec

    This is just a bit baffling. If Quebec does not welcome non-French speakers, how come OIIQ has already accommodated fellow Filipinos? Shouldn't they have refused these applications at the
  13. A Foreign Grad Nurse in a Foreign Land

    I agree that, to an extent, most of us can speak and understand English, but proficiency is a different issue. It is so sad that performance of fellow Filipino nurses as well as their...

  18. My NCLEX Result is delayed. Does that mean I failed?

    i really wanted to relax, but being a constantly anxious person, I couldn't seem to tone my nerves
  19. How bad is it?

    because of global recession, nurses from philippines who also dreamed of working in the states are also very much affected. i for one applied for usa through an agency that deploys nurses to...
  20. How bad is it?

    Oh I won't mind as to where they assign me as long as I do land in a job which I worked for since I enrolled in my nursing
  21. A little help please? Thanks

    hi daytonite, your responses have been really helpful. i do apologize for my mistake of putting it here. i was misled by the word general, and didn't know that there is a general student discussion...
  22. A little help please? Thanks

    hi fellow nurses, i am reviewing for nclex. my agency has provided me with practice exams without answer keys. i noted some pointers (with permission from my agency) on questions where i had such...

  24. What to monitor in Coumadin therapy?

    Is there such thing as Serum Coumadin Level as part of the lab results to monitor when you are in Coumadin therapy? I have been taught during an NCLEX review that PT is the blood work to be monitored...
