TalarossaRN

Hi raven..i am a bsn rn in the philippines too. What helped me are these: 1. Hurst review: i did their online study which includes videos focused on core content. It really helped me alot coz it summed up mostly all we have to learn in nursing and also can be applied to practice 2. La Charity PDA book: focus on priority, delegation, assessment 3. Nurse cram: i answered all the questions ---do Q&A's always ---install apps on your phone so that you can review anywhere

If you are a nurse, you would definitely do those. I was 7 months preggo and still turning and lifting patients, was not scared because i do not have to lift them by myself. Being a nurse in the ed, those poop issues are so common together with blood, vomitus, phlegm, all colors of body fluids. I have worked with alot of male nurses on the ed and i would say they clean poop, change diapers and everything.

Hi guys! I am a bsn grad in the Philippines 2008 and an Rn there as well. I just got here in the us 2012, and i am currently an active RN working here in NC on ER's clinical decision unit for a year now. I am planning to go back to school but apparently i am not familiar with or how school applications here work. I am thinking of going FNP, rn-msn track. But also thinking of taking crna but i have no med-surg experience. I am looking into one of the universities here that does not require GRE and wants credentials to be evaluated for all international students. Any inputs or more info regarding application process? And what if i did finish my msn, am i considered as an NP if i passed certification exams?

Thanks to you both for a very brief and helpful reply..i emaild the licensing staff and ask about the cgfns vs. ierf. I am still waiting for a reply. :)

I am an RN here in NC and about to move to Virginia. NC and VA both belong to compact state licensure, i just want to know if I can work in Va or any state within the compact state even without applying license by endorsement. I am an RN in the Philippines too and i had my credentials evaluated by IERF. Is there anyone here who knows if they accept IERF evaluation rather than CGFNS?

What is usually the subjects that needs to be repeated? Like the common ones? Is it ob? Psych? Medsurg? Peds?

They told me they need those 3 things, they already have my tor, rle summary and subject breakdown. What they need is my or and dr cases, academic calendar and clinical rotation schedule

Hopefully! Thanks :/

Will the nursing school give that one too? The calendar? They say prc dispose copies every 2 yrs

Thanks steppybay! I am thinking of going to the pHilippines to fix those requirements, but i need assurance if they will be able to give it to me

Justbeachynurse: yes i have submitted all of my cases in prc but unfortunately i hve no copy

Thanks mursinary..i received a mail from them just awhile ago asking those requirements

I applied to california by endorsement last nov 2014 and was just received a mail from them asking me of these additional requirements: 1. Cooy of clinical rotation schedule 2. OR and DR cases 3. Academic calendar I am a graduate since 2008 and my school said they do not have those requirements and the licensing agency dispose records every 2 years. I practice here in NC as an ED RN but have to go to cali for my husband's promotion. What is a good option? Help!

I am a graduate of BSn in the philippines and i am an RN here in NC. I applied for a license by endorsement in Californiabut they are asking me for these requirements: 1. Copy of clinical rotation schedule 2. OR and DR cases 3. Academic calendar I graduated last 2008 and my nursing school said there is no way they are keeping these records. My sis asked PRC but they told my sis they dispose records every 2 yrs. does that mean i can't practice in California anymore? What am i going to do?

Gotcha!! Thanks so much...

That's what our director told me actually. And yes it's on the clinical ladder prog. Thanks so much for all of your info. I do not know if i have to accept this one because i will be moving to california next june

It might be the easiest way for her to get accepted to a nursing school if she will go to the Philippines but requirements do evolve and change..i am a graduate in the philippines with my bsn and msn degree and was evaluated for my nursing education here. My nursing education is very much similar to the education here according to ierf. No problems with any requirements but that was 2 yrs ago. As i have said, requirements change. Long distance relationship plus nursing school ain't quite a good idea.

I work in the ED for 6 months now and was appointed by manager (through a formal letter) to be a shift supervisor and to reperesent our unit in the Education and Research Council, but I have no idea what exactly is the role of a nurse representing on the Education and Research. anyone have any ideas? Also, is clinical ladder a good move to do? AddThis Sharing Facebook Twitter EmailPrintGmailMore Hide Show AddThisPrivacy AddThis Sharing FacebookTwitterEmailPrintGmailMore
