Hi guys! I'm just new here. Is there anyone who will be going to IHNA's March 8th intake in Perth? Were you able to completely finish the online course? Cause I sure haven't. Yikes! Anyway, I would like to ask how did you pay for your tuition fee. Did you guys pay for it in full already or are you going to pay when you arrive in Perth? Thanks for the reply.

Yeah. I will do that. Sometimes, when we don't ask, we don't get anything. Thanks again. You guys have been very helpful.

I think they should have a survey or list of the BEST HOSPITALS TO WORK IN...

MedSurgeMess, You don't sound mean at all. I totally understand why you would think that. I guess I'm just looking for more things that I could do during my shift. I have only trained for only a month and so far, I only experienced around three patients going into code. I was hoping to see a lot of coding (Now, that's mean.). :uhoh21:

Thank you Creamsoda. I think you are absolutely right. I guess the way things are right now is suitable for me who just graduated. I'm pretty much sure that I would be frazzled when I get the toxic cases. This is a perfect learning experience. I still have 2 months to gain experience. :nuke: I am just sooo excited! That's the only two areas I am really really interested in working - the ICU and the ER. Can't wait to learn so much more!

I am Filipino and I understand what you mean. I didn't read the whole forum. Anyway, I employed the help of NEAC Exam Application Center (located in Espana near UST) to help me process my CVS, NY Eligibility and NCLEX.

If money weren't an issue, I would've pursued architecture or medicine. :-) But nursing has its rewards. The fulfillment that you get from seeing your patients feel so much better is worth it. :-) Although not all the time, sometimes, you are just cranky. LOL

Hi! I'm Kaye and an RN from the Philippines. I am currently training in the ICU of a hospital here in the Philippines and so far, my experience was just well, okay. I don't know. Maybe I am expecting that the ICU would be a more adrenalin-pumping area. Right now, I just feel that I am just a fly in the area. All I do is record the VS, do CBG, get the I&O. Its all too lightweight. I am looking for something more. I'm sorry I just need to vent out my feelings.

I gained a lot of weight! But now, I am losing it slowly but surely. :-)

This is inspiring.
