Hello! Can someone tell me how much the fee is for duplicating a lost prc id as of the moment? Is it still 250.00 pesos as of today, May 28, 2011? What about the fee for express? THANK YOU!!! I am planning to go to prc this monday.

@ babyRN Thanks so much for the feedback! I received my training at a university here in the Philippines. I hope that my training would suffice as a lot of graduates from my school already are RNs at UK. So when I looked at the NMC site, I was suprised why our total clinical hours were shorter than that of UKs. So does this mean that NMC isn't necessarily legalistic with its requirements? Also, do you know what the required format is for professional references and can you tell me who I can use as one? thanks again and good luck to you as well.

Good day!Good thing I saw this topic as I am worried about my credentials.Can anyone confirm if the 2300hour clinical requirement. The NCM site indicates: "These are that you should have completed a three year full time course or a course totalling 4600 hours at post secondary level leading to registration as a general nurse. At least half of this course, 2,300 hours, must be in clinical or practical training, and at least one third, 1,533 hours, must be theoretical training." In my summary of RLE, it indicates that I only earned 2,144 hours. Because of this, I am hesitant to apply.Is this strictly considered? I graduated in 2008 and since then, I have also accomplished my post graduate experience requirement. Can this be included instead? Also, can someone advice me on what information should be included in the profession reference? Who are allowed to refer? Are nursing school teachers included? Thanks!

Good luck on your research. I hope that you could also do a comparative analysis between private and public hospitals as i think that the dynamics change depending upon the setting. I am also doing a research on bullying among nurses/health care practitioners.Hope someone can post a site that would be very useful.Anecdotes or analysis are very much appreciated. Anyway, hope your research would help nurses to be more aware of their rights or at least assert themselves more in the workplace as I believe that our profession's image depends on how we value or exude ourselves as dignified professionals.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I am sure that we have rights tied up to our Philippine Constitution.I tried to scan my book on nursing jurisprudence and googled it but can't find a clear cut list made by our Philippine Nurses Association. I was particularly interested in this subject as I began my work at a government hospital and I felt that the head nurse was verbally abusive and felt like she was simply being mean. Second, there's this culture wherein you don't just "bother" doctors to report unusual findings/assessment especially at night as they constantly stay at their quarters and are not that visible at night.I know that the nurse has the right to advocate their patients but before doing so must be able to know their rights as well to assert themselves without fear of intimidation and hostility.

Anyone who can provide me a legitimate site or actual list of Rights for Filipino nurses?It seems that we don't have one.

I just passed the CA NCLEX-RN last may 30,2010 and understand that i cannot get a license without an ssn wch is only through the immigration process by an US employer's sponsorship.With these, I would like to ask 2 questions: 1. If I have a willing sponsor employee in CA, how many years will i have to wait before a SSN will be granted with retrogression and all? 2. If i consider going to NY instead, since I do not have a SSN,what's the actual process for transferring (if possible) the exam results while I take the CGFNS exam, among other requirements for NY?
