Unemployed NURSE

Published

I am a nurse Since 2007 here in the Philippines,.unfortunately unemployed. I am now applying in other country that might serve as a stepping stone for my nursing career,. I am now ready to set aside my nursing degree for the meantime,.but never giving up for my GOAL.

Most Nurse in the Philippines are UNEMPLOYED!

Kindly share what are the things that you do from the past months,. or years.,

to robocop,,...., in tondo general hospital or tondo medical center(it's just the same hospital)...,there'll be training fee of 500 per month i think not sure... just pass the usual stuff,, resume, TOR, PRC license, IVT card, certificates...put them all in long yellow folder(not plastic). and application letter addressed to VICTOR J. DELA CRUZ medical center chief II. forgot to mention u must be an IV therapist that's their requirement.

why not try another line of work like call center, I know that everyone here love nursing and really want to gain some experience in nursing but somehow along the way you need to realize that you need money to feed yourself and support yourself . processing of hospital application in Philippines will take a long time, you can 1st submit your application in hospital where you want to work ( as if you have a choice). or take your basic life support and IV training before applying to hospital because its a requirement to most of the hospitals then apply in any field of work such call center to have a money to support yourself. Its better being productive than unproductive at home , waiting for the hospital to call. Most(or some) of the Nursing graduate are unemployed and at home waiting for the hospital to call without even realizing that it will take them 1 year of waiting because there is no demand.

If you want, you can volunteer first because i understand the feeling of a new RN. New RN want to experience how to work in hospital without the assistant of Clinical Instructor like in college.

What i want to say is you can wait for the hospital call while being productive.

Im also a license nurse in Philippines and Vermont , Im still here because of the retrogression. Im now working in call center because I want to be productive and want to be independent. What i did , I applied 1st in hospitals in manila before going in call center so when there's opening i can work to hospital.

You need 15 posts to be able to send and reply to pm's. We do ask that posts are meaningful and useful to the site and if it is felt you have posted just to boost post count they will be deleted.

We also ask that next and abbreviations are not used. Good practise on writing clear concise English

Hello everyone! I know how everybody feels and I keep my faith up and never discourage.

Im also an umployed nurse graduated April 2007. I pass my NLE December 2007.

And I gave birth on the same year. Now Im taking care of my 18 month old daughter.

In November 2008, I took a proficiency exam for RT. And now am also a Certified Respiratory Therapist to gain an extra edge.

But I never really tried applying for a job in any hospital. For many reason such as I am taking time to take care of my daughter. And to watch her grow until I have to get a full time job to support her.

So now applied at CNO (College of Nurses in Ontario) for an PN eligibility. I hope to get an eligibility. But from their strict requirement , I might have to settle to a bridging to meet their standard of safe nursing practice.

To Johnbrew: I followed all your comments to forums: Good luck to your job hunt, hope you get a good break!

Good Luck to all nurses!!! Never give up, keep the dream alive ^_-

Why apply for PN when you have RN? Why not just let the province assess your training?

Can still be hard to find a hospital especially if you have no US experience. Ca also has a very high unemployment rate at the moment
