hi! a friend of mine got qualified to challenge the nclex-rn florida. she graduated here in PI, she was not even licensed here because she relocated to US after graduation.. Good Luck!

i did not graduate from any of the above mentioned schools but i have 80% average, 18 mos hospital experience (volunteer), 6mos of which is in the critical care, I'm ACLS certified. I applied last month and they have not texted me yet im losing hope!

hi tintin! when are you scheduled for interview? i think the interview is for the formality only ( hopefully) and also the head nurses will chose RN residents to be assigned at their respective area (e.g ICU, ER)

yes, you have to finish 6 months training

secondary but they are on process of obtaining the tertiary hospital level as per a head nurse

thanks for the info

To be hired as a staff nurse depends on your "backer"... you can go there on fridays and take the examination. there is no specific month, they'll tell you when your orientation is. yes, you will get a certificate after the training.

im going there on monday. this is frustrating

i'll Pm you tomorrow night so i can get her complete name and correct title, i haven't submitted my letter of intent yet ..

i did not know about the nov 4 exam

hi! Im still on my second month of the training..just bring you resume and school credentials, board rating certificate, board passing certificate, photocopy of PRC ID and IVT card ( if you dont have IVT yet, they conduct IV training too) Letter of intent addressed to the chief nurse, put all your documents in a long brown envelop, write your name on left upper side. but its ok if you don't have all the requirements because you can still submit it during your regular duty days..the process is pretty much easy and fast. I called them on thursday to inquire about volunteer nurse slot, they asked me to take the examination on friday, i was scheduled for orientation the following day then i started my ward rotation monday , you can pass your documents at nursing service office. SJMC is along n. domingo..Good luck

hi guys! SAN JUAN MEDICAL CENTER is accepting nurse volunteers. it is for "free" well, there will be a 300 pesos facilitators fee. i think its reasonable enough compared to other hospitals that are charging thousands of pesos. it is a 6 months training, more on bed side care; VS q1, IV push, IV insertion, I&O monitoring etc..but only the staff nurses are allowed to do the charting! but you can always read the patients chart so that you can familiarize yourself with nursing documentation. SJMC nursing service office conducts examinations for nurse volunteers every Friday only, its all about fundamentals, calculations, pharmacology, dont forget to bring your resume and school credentials

yes,they will ask you to write down your name and contact number and contact you if there will be available slot

i was there today, sadly there's no available slot anymore, but they asked me write down my name and contact number. They said they're going to contact me once a slot becomes available..

yes the next exam after November will be on may-june

i think it's on november

when i have to post my email here or any social media network, i use my other email address, which i made purposely for things like this, i don't even use my name on that email address, because some while search you on facebook and start stalking you..

sent it already, check you email! Good luck

i got it!!thank you so much!!:hug:..God bless! awww it's ok, the files that you sent me is already a big help and can save me money too since i'm self-reviewing

hi! wow! congratulations!! i was following your other thread and you said you got some free review materials, please send me some, if you don't mind it'll really be a big help! thanks! my email add is ellepan17gmail.com

ahmm we're here, but they wont hire us. so....

so i made poor choices when i was in college and got low GPA, there was just so many obstacles in my life that time (mom died, dad suffered nervous breakdown, closest aunt died, lost house, bankruptcy, good thing my other aunt sent me to nursing school ) i don't wanna put the blame on that but i know it did had a huge impact on me, and still does..and now im looking into the future, even though i still don't have a stable job i just want to have a plan and goal for my career life. I'm from Philippines & graduated there, now im thinking i want to study and get into graduate school in the future and maybe become a CRNA, i read on some threads here in allnurses that you need to have a high GPA for you to get into grad school. i already know that i need to get my credentials verified and evaluated before i can get into any school in USA, i wanna know how can i improve my GPA? (my GPA is so low im even ashamed to post it here:barf01:) can i retake some of my undergraduate subjects here in USA?what else can i do? any suggestions, opinions and advice is very much appreciated!:loveya:

im a Filipino nurse and proud of it:nurse:, honestly majority of us chose to come to Canada or USA or any other country because it pays more. you see, in Philippines the starting salary of a RN working in a private hospital is 12000 pesos a month that's merely US $300+ a month, we still have to pay taxes and health insurance,the take home income is almost as little as Php10000 that's US$250 a month, you're even considered lucky if you get a RN job that pays because RNs in Philippines has to do volunteer work just to gain experience in nursing field, sometimes we even have to pay the hospital so we can do volunteer work:mad:..you see Filipino families are close-knit family we help our family even extended family and distance relatives, we send our brothers, sisters, cousins, nephews and nieces to school, even college:saint:, we pay for our family's hospital bill when they get sick (especially health insurance is not that common in Philippines) we also buy house for our parents and car too..we are the family's bread winner, the provider, we do this so we can send money to the Philippines, to better the life of our family I know where you're coming from, I will feel sad too if Canadian,Americans or any other Foreign nurses will come to Philippines and take away our jobs. We meant no harm, we just want to provide for our family and i wont apologize for that. plus i think if you'll look at the much bigger picture, i think Canadians/Americans benefits too, we are caring nurses and do our jobs with TLC, and you see Filipino RNs in Canada/USA pay taxes too, we pay your country, we help your economy too. it's all fair in love and war and i think in work opportunity too
