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

    Pacs, RN posted a topic in Philippines

    Since the old thread about this was closed, I'd like to make a new one about it so that we can address it as it is still very rampant in my country, the Philippines: Department of Health Secretary...

    Pacs, RN replied to Pacs, RN's topic in Philippines

    Oh please, spare me your naivety. No spoony bard could spin such a sweeter tale...Tears then, for the world you see is beyond my weary sight. Your mind is already set on believing that the people I...

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

    Pacs, RN replied to Pacs, RN's topic in Philippines

    It's a common misconception that you have to experience something before you can understand it. Second, there is a difference between "I never voted for the people in power at our government" vs. "I...

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

    Pacs, RN replied to Pacs, RN's topic in Philippines

    If I was ever employed as a hospital staff nurse here in our country, I wouldn't be here talking about how I am still an unemployed registered nurse now, would I? And just because I was never...

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

    Pacs, RN replied to Pacs, RN's topic in Philippines

    I just wish more of my fellow nurses here in my country actually care about this and fight the grave injustice rather than be willing victims. More of them flock this website right now asking how to...

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

    Pacs, RN replied to Pacs, RN's topic in Philippines

    I'm not American. I'm a Filipino born and raised in the Philippines. I have never been to America and I am not eligible to work as a nurse there. I never intended to work outside of my country when I...

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

    Pacs, RN replied to Pacs, RN's topic in Philippines

    Forgive my negativity and cynicism. I have been an unemployed registered nurse here in my country for far too long. I have passed my nursing licensure examination way back in 2009. It is already 2015...

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

    Pacs, RN replied to Pacs, RN's topic in Philippines

    It is comforting that there are people like you who would speak in defense of my people. I do not negate the existence of the many fine Filipino nurses abroad. They are what I call jewels in the...

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

    Pacs, RN replied to Pacs, RN's topic in Philippines

    That is exactly the kind of apologetic reasoning that keeps our country in the mud. Why is it there are nurses in public hospitals who have to shell the expenses from their own meager income in order...

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

    Pacs, RN replied to Pacs, RN's topic in Philippines

    Sadly, you are right. I feel that my country has produced nurses who are woefully unprepared for global competency. All I see is corruption and exploitation of the weak. Most nurses here are damn...

    Heheheheh. Nice! This poster made my

  14. Doc Wannabe?

    Pacs, RN replied to nursemike's topic in Men in Nursing

    Oh, there are. And I think nursing is one of the best premedical course if one wants to pursue medicine because you'll have more clinical knowledge and expertise compared to your non-nursing...

  15. Ben Stiller as Gaylord Fokker

    Pacs, RN replied to mcknis's topic in Men in Nursing

    In the third movie, Little Fockers, I think Gaylord Focker was now portrayed as a hospital administrator and that he retains his nursing

  16. Who Cares About Nurse Theorists?

    Pacs, RN replied to dlo's topic in Men in Nursing

    That is a doctor's way of thinking, not a nurse's. We must not forget that a nurse's job and function are the three P's: 1.) Promotion of health 2.) Prevention of illness 3.) Palliative care The...

  17. Doc Wannabe?

    Pacs, RN replied to nursemike's topic in Men in Nursing

    Well, it all depends on perspective. If one wishes to be a doctor for the prestige and the title associated with it, then I suggest one to forget it, for the system will consume you. The path into...

  18. Doc Wannabe?

    Pacs, RN replied to nursemike's topic in Men in Nursing

    Well if it means anything, I have classmates here in med school who are far older than you are. Ranging from 45 years old to as old as 69 years! The decision to become a physician can be tricky. For...

  19. Being an HIV positive nurse

    Pacs, RN replied to piddlepong's topic in Men in Nursing

    Interesting article, czyja. However, I'd like to quote a line from that article: "Despite a very thorough investigation, the mechanism and date of transmission could not be...

  20. Male nurse crying!!!

    Pacs, RN replied to ClassQ1's topic in Men in Nursing

    Of course the ethics police won't come for you (if they even exist ). As I have said earlier, of course we can cry in front of our patients. If you have read the nursing journal I linked, it tells...

  21. Being an HIV positive nurse

    Pacs, RN replied to piddlepong's topic in Men in Nursing

    Well now, what you have said is a great compromise if you ask me. Good for you. What concerned me the most was us handling sharp needles in the first place. With a nurse like you, I'm now certain our...

  22. Male nurse crying!!!

    Pacs, RN replied to ClassQ1's topic in Men in Nursing

    It's just professional ethics. Nurses are supposed to show empathy not sympathy but it doesn't necessarily mean we can't cry in from of our patients. Of course we can! The BON won't go after you if...

  23. Being an HIV positive nurse

    Pacs, RN replied to piddlepong's topic in Men in Nursing

    It is not uncommon to have a coinfection with hepatitis A and E. In any case, I was simply making a point that we are discussing HIV here and not the other blood borne diseases. If you wish to...

  24. Being an HIV positive nurse

    Pacs, RN replied to piddlepong's topic in Men in Nursing

    As I've said, we are talking about just the HIV positive nurses here. The other blood borne diseases are of different matters. For instance, Hepatitis B has a vaccine, unlike HIV which has no vaccines...

  25. Being an HIV positive nurse

    Pacs, RN replied to piddlepong's topic in Men in Nursing

    Dude, chill. We are only talking about confirmed HIV positive nurses here. As for the nurses who are not routinely tested for blood borne diseases, they are another story. Anyway, it was already you...
