Hi guys! I am new borad passer (June2007), as we all know, the result came out after almost 4 months! So, while waiting for the results, I tried to apply on jobs even not related to nursing, since I don't have the license yet. I tried applying in call centers and I am currently working as an agent under non-voice support. Well, I actually find this job good. I think my English skills were developed,and it is my advantage for I am planning to take the IELTS exam some time in the future. Now that I have the results of the Board exam, I am confused as to what to do next? Of course I would love to work in hospital but I've heard it is difficult to apply. And in the other thread I opened another thread (On how to apply to hospitals), I have received replies saying that there are lots of requirements needed (license, IVT trainig..etc) Should I give up my work now to be able to concentrate on my Nursing Career?
Whew! I am confused now.. What should I do next guys? Please give me some advise.. Thank you!!!
I think an average over 83% is considered good. You also have to pass the exams of the hospital.
Once you get 2 years experience, you can find a good agency like HCCA, Grady o' peyton, etc that sponsors for your reviews, exams, petition, airfare, etc. All for free.
How would you know that the agency is good? They will give you exams, interview you for english ability, assess your nursing skills, etc. before they sponsor you and spend for you. You don't have to pay for anything. It even reimburses expenses you incurred.[/quote]
Can anyone enlighten me on the topic presented by RN4US where an agency will sponsor your expenses for free and you don't need to pay anything? Is there a non-profit agency of some sort. As I assumed, agencies are business oriented companies where you actually have to pay them in return for services they rendered to you. Is HCCA or Grady O'Peyton as mentioned above, one of them?
There's no such thing as a none-for-profit agency. All expenses will eventually be taken out on your salary. And in my humble opinion,
looking for an agency just on the basis of initially sponsoring your expenses is not the way to go.
We have stickies about how to look for a good agency, I highly recommend reading it.

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.
much has been written about agencies if you do a general search in the International, UK and Philippine forums you will find plenty. They do not do anything for free and once you sign a contract there will be a cancellation fee

I knew it! thanks lawrence. This forum site helped me a lot.
Hi, thank you for the advice. Yeah, I am actually being paid by the company. My salary ranges from 12-14k. I really would love to apply in hospitals now. But unfortunately, I'm having a big problem. I can not afford to have training for several months yet. huhu.. Please pray for me guys.. Thank you!
Hi, you know I am getting even more confused. huhu. I actually have a very big problem now that giving up my job is really hard to do. But I really would love to work in hospitals if given the chance. Yes, I am paid here. Raging from 12 to 14k. I know if I work in hospitals, this salary will be reduced even more that half. Worse, no salary at all. Please pray for me. I am facing a very big challenge in life now. Thank you!
What should I do next guys? Please give me some advise.. Thank you!!!
