    dodoy replied to angel_prias's topic in Philippines

    hi tron22, how was your exam? It seems from your post that you have passed and will be starting next year, did I get it right? As for the others who are asking, I think Medical City is still accepting...

    dodoy replied to Cuddleswithpuddles's topic in International Nursing

    My response to your questions are simply just from my point of view and not in behalf of all the Filipino nurses. Here it goes. 1. Cliche as it may seem but then "rewarding/fulfilling" may be the best...

    RNHeals 2 Is Open?

    dodoy replied to GirRN's topic in Philippines

    Not really all former volunteers. I know someone who has just passed this year's NLE and hasn't done any volunteering yet, but still managed to be included in the program. I'm not saying all those who...

    Could a newly lisenced nurse work in the special area?. (w/out ward experience)

    dodoy replied to Nurse inscrubs's topic in Philippines

    No More Nurse Volunteer Programs! DOH Orders Termination of "Nurse Volunteer Programs

    dodoy replied to pipau's topic in International Nursing

    I just can't see a valid reason why some nurses felt sad upon knowing that the hospital where they will be "volunteering" will not push with it's program anymore. Isn't it better because these...

    dodoy posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    So I've been working on a hemodialysis unit for a year now, and quite recently I have seen cases of access failures (usually AVFs failing to mature fully, I've seen two patients both diabetic), and...
