Hi guys! I’m a Filipino nurse with a multiple tourist visa but haven’t taken any foreign nor english exams. I just arrived from the US for vacation and filed my application for my NCLEX in the State of California. I preferred to be back home here in the Philippines to do self-review coz I don’t want to spoil my days living there ( considering that I can’t review well in the place I used to live in there because the brat kids keep on disturbing me every time and I can’t find any conducive place for my review) and also, my visa might expire before getting my ATT. So I decided to just go back in the US or either way take my NCLEX in Saipan or Guam or if the California Board of Registered Nursing would allow me to take it in Hawaii as soon as I get my ATT. Would you think my decision is okay and justifiable? I’ve already talked to a facility who’s willing to petition me even without my English exam. And I do have lists of agencies willing to petition. I just have to pass the NCLEX right now to have a better future in the US. But when I was there, I’ve seen how life goes. And being tough is not just the only mean to surpass the pressures, confidence has to do something… it adds up. And I know now how hard and crazy living there. If you don’t have car + driver’s license (and doesn’t even know how to drive), house/apartment/townhouse and job ------- you suck! I’m now also finding any means to find someone willing to petition in New Zealand, Australia and London coz I don’t feel like working and practicing my profession in California. Do I need to take any nursing exams if ever I’d like to work in another state of America or can I just take an endorsement even without taking my CGFNS and any English exams? But at this point in time as I’m waiting for my ATT, I’m really confused where I’d like to begin my career. I have a restless mind right now. Please help me clear my mind.

Hi! still remember me? from the Philippines. i passed the recent nursing local board licensure exam. can u recommend any agency/hospital? thank you for all those comforting words you've said to me before.

I’ll not be an hypocrite. I want money. Everybody needs money in order to survive. Everybody is struggling hard to have a better future. Day by day, we become a risk-taker of every opportunity that we may or not anticipate to happen. But nevertheless, upon this continuing struggle for the betterment of our future, we forget to see a certain aspect of our life. Sometimes, it’s not always our "wants and needs" that really matters most in life. Sometimes, it’s not actually price-possessions that could make you a total human. It’s not just about the money… the luxuries and all that….. Or maybe let’s just say happiness and contentment is a perfection-personified or could mean a dream come true. But please don’t get me wrong. My opinion here is not to disparage the MD-RNs or everyone whom I may get offended. My family is not rich. We eat 3x a day. I can have my midnight snacks anytime I wanted to. We only have one car. My parents have gone travelling outside the country. My brother was already in the US and I’m about to follow him perhaps this July. We got our multiple visa then. I’m just waiting for my judgement day on June for the local board exam. Some people here think that I’m lucky for acquiring that visa. Some would say I have gotten what others are trying so hard to get it. But actually, I never got what I really wanted to have. At some point in my life, I wanted to live this comatose country. But the other side of my heart wanted me to stay. I keep on wallowing over my deep despair upon leaving. I was thinking that this country is really like a comatose patient wanting to gain strength, to preserve itself from the atrocity of life’s opportunities. I’ve seen poor patients in a government hospital where I often times give my act of volunteerism. When I roamed around at dawn, I saw these patients’ relatives sleeping underneath the patients’ bed and my heart feels like throbbing. And I can never ever forget that scene. That made me to believe that our government was really such a heck (sorry for the term I used). The government’s trying so hard to help US forces in the Middle East while in fact, there’s a greater growing problem here that needs to be solved. The scenario that I’m seeing now tempts me to go far even farther from this place for I can’t help it being here looking at those poor creatures dying not because of the paucity of the medical professionals nor funds that should have long been sustained lives of the many sufferers but the blindness of each Filipino people to see the real problem. The problem should not be gauge on where to lie the complain or who did the cause but should be, what to do. I certainly believe now what Antoine de Saint Exupery says about the grown-ups…. They’re more on figures. Though we live by it, it should not always be the basis of success. Wherever and whoever a person is, if he would just learn the value of hardship, courage and perseverance, he can be a successful one. And I don’t think comparing a domestic helper from that of a medical practitioner is right because they come from different professions with different types of clients to leave behind. I think it’s nicer to leave an elementary student (if the domestic helper is a teacher) or a bank that is about to close (if the domestic helper is a teller) than a million of terminally patients with whom the government had forgotten them. Who would take care of them then? You may perhaps philosophize with such a statement that doctors need to take care of their families to but allow me to finish with this one. Amongst all, a heart is more important than any other figures in this world. God will never ask His people with how many dollars you earned and left in the bank. He will never ask you how efficient you are as MD or as RN. What matters most to Him is your stewardship and not merely of leadership… on how you take good care of His suffering people. And for some, this statement might sound absurd but that’s supposed to be done. Though it was not amended by our constitutional law or any other law that it’s not wrong to think of your future, to think of your family, your career or what can a Php 16,000 and more or less could buy in a grocery store in a monthly or in a weekly basis. It’s not wrong to dream, to soar high in an outmost height one can weigh not even to act on your heart’s willingness. And it’s not wrong to think of others’ welfare also. It’s not being an altruistic or being too idealistic nor nationalistic…. It’s more than that. It’s more than an expedient reason one should not ignore. "It’s only the eyes that can be blinded but never what heart is seeing" and if anyone of you would say I’m seeing a wrong overview over the other, it’s not my fault anymore, not even a fault of anybody… it’s what my heart utters in solitude. What I wanted to say to the MD-RNs is that, as you try to satisfy and fulfill your human needs, please include your needy brethren in your dreams. Please try to make a glimpse at them not as an added income in your monthly wage or as a simple "figures" as grown-ups used to dealt with but as a human beings who just wanted to live just like you… who also have dreams to fulfill and a need to be mollified. My family is not rich. We don’t have that big "figures" to offer. We can only offer prayers for the needy… for those people who wanted to live just like you. And how about you? What do you have in mind to offer to our fellow countrymen? "One important reason why many people stop before they have attained success is because they entered the field more with a desire to make money thanbecause of an ingrained love for the work".

For jazzkate, where can i talk to u?

I actually don't know what to do if i failed to live up with so many expectations professing their support to me. i don't know how am i going to mingle with this people if i failed. i have a testophobia before when it comes to entrance exam and this time around i'm phobic, thus hesitant to take this board exam which will, whatever result it may be, will absolutely be a turning point in my life, that is, if i pass. i have a hundred and one questions about life but this one seems so easy for me to answer.... if i don't get that chance, i consider one as taking my life (so easy right?) but i'm afraid to do. i don't know where i'm headed for. all i know is to do it right. but what if this one whom i think is right doesn't fit to do expectation they have and i have for myself? where will i go? when am i gonna finally say that i'm out of the real world's battlefield? pls help me get through this. i can't do this alone.. i need everybody's opinion.

it's nice to know that there are still people who can sense my sentiments.. for someone who's seeing this scenerio can really understand. it really hits me knowing that MDs here in the Philippines are trying their best to get away with our loosen-driven country. and what ur saying regarding MDs here ARE TRUE!!!!! they're treating nurses not as a part of their health team actually but a maid. it's all true!!!! hope others would understand even bettter what we're saying here now. it's not being selfish on our part to not allow MDs to take up nursing course but it's really alarming. if only people outside our country would see those far flung areas here... no doctors, no nurses, don't even have midwives... perhaps, u would also understand. though this scenario is happening because of the kind of gov't that this country have, partly, it's because of the MDs aiming for more and not of mere service.
