Not a surprise to me

Yelling or loud voice speaking with a hearing-impaired patient? You need to define the situation further.

This happened to me in the past. What helped me was attending yoga meditation sessions.

That IS awful. I wish your co-workers were more supportive.

If after getting a 2nd opinion you still have to face this decision, consider your age. You are still young, you can slow down on your studies when you have your baby and get back on track af r a while. If this will put your sponsorship funds at stak...

Why "compete" with American nurses or other foreign-trained nurses when you can work with them? If you mean can my Filipino training equip me to meet the demands of a USRN job, the answer is yes. I'm speaking for my personal experience as well as my ...

-That is a personal opinion. I am very thankful for half of my education to the Philippine educational system and I cannot say anything but praise for the training that I got. Since I was born in the Philippines, I fully understand the context of thi...

I am not going to preach about why you shouldn't have used your phone while testing. It's clear to me that you are seeking for an advice, not a sermon. As it is, your nursing license/career is at stake. You already spent so much time and $$$ on your...

You guys crack me up! Haha

I agree on the latter statement. Philippine schools hiring "inexperienced students to teach the clinicals, some of whom I knew were just recent grads themselves" - You can only speak for your own scholastic experience. You must have graduated from ...

I agree. I, on my part, am dismayed by the sense of entitlement. I think you hit it right on the spot - "I just think it's the naivete and overall whiny-ness the young people today have and it doesn't matter what country they're from. " Add the wor...

Proudpinay, I like that wink. I should learn how these smileys, winks work. haha. I just had to correct: "but NO ONE told nor guarantee me" nor gave me a guarantee There's more, but I can't remember which. My eyes stop working after 1 hour of compu...

If applicable to your situation, I'd be looking into employment agencies. They usually weed out the applicants for the employers. WHen they are sent to the employers for testing and interviews, most often these interviews are focused on skills an...

89yr old patient: I can't see! I just can't see! Please hand over my glasses My response: Ok, but first you have to open your eyes for me. (literally)

Congrats!

Take her out for a nice dinner. It shows more appreciation because you're spending time with her.

You should be happy you're knowledgeable. And you didn't have to spend an arm and leg for a medical degree.=)

I'm not following this thread. I just happen to have read your post. I don't know when your employer filed you papers or if it has already been filed, but if your employer is sponsoring you as a Registered Nurse, I STRONGLY advice you to visit the US...

You'll probably end up getting hired as an RN where you currently work at, so finding a job won't be your problem. Listen not to these people as they don't know your skill level, background, opportunities and future career path. They may feel stagna...

If the nurse made a seemingly nasty remark just for the pleasure of doing so or to make fun of the patient, that is professionally unethical. If the nurse made a seemingly nasty remark as in "Oh my God, this patient stinks!" out of shock, out of conc...

"Well, if you're not of dual citizenship, then, there's not much choice but to go to school in the Phils." -Not much choice- That is YOUR personal opinion. If you have legal presence here in the USA even if you're not a USC and is diligent enough ...

My guess is that this will be deleted in 2minutes, if it is. I have been lurking around for a couple of years. I wonder if I'm the only one who noticed that this forum is inconsistent in editing posts by users. Posts that encourage, help, give hope ...

She stated the answer to your question.

You have a point. US graduates are not even required to have the 25 clinical cases. Like you said, the fact still remains. If one wants to be licensed in CA, he has to comply with the requirements.

YOU chose to believe that YOUR decision to get educated in the Philippines will eventually land you a job in the USA. Like I mentioned on another thread, Doesn't CHED in the Phils. stand for Commission on Higher Education? PRC- Philippine Regulatio...
