paano mag request kaya ng nclex test result with picture pag california, by telephone kaya? stress nanaman ako kung paano mag endorse sa vermont

[NurseOnDuty]

^sis i suggest visit ka sa website nila baka may info dun. if wala, siguro email na lang sila. pero baka nga kailangan mo pa sila i-mail as in letter of request. in some cases, you need the documents pa from the state, where you intend to have your license be endorsed.

who's taken the NCLEX very recently? last feb or early this month. i need info lang which questions ang mas marami lumabas... will take nclex soon and i'm a bit terrified dahil halos kulang ako sa time to review. sabay din kasi sa volunteer work ko. tia!

[morbiedoll]

random lumalabas questions. I had a lot of SATA (select all that apply) hotspot, may audio and video-type of alternate Qs pa rin. drug calculation. Ginamit ko Saunders 5th ed, may cd narin kasama + online content review. hindi na ako nag test taking strategy. puro content.

took mine Jan 2011, CA.

[kkkaattt]

^ thank you. SATA pala talaga ang marami these days. must focus on that...

[morbiedoll]

^no problem. goodluck

[morbiedoll]

^ mas preferred kasi ng employers (I think) na hospital setting (100 bed capacity or more) yung experience ng nurse, kaysa company nurse. At least dito sa amin ganun (California). Stiff narin competition ng RNs/BSNs dito. Kung hinde Magnet hospital yung papasukan, chances are CNA, LVN, LPN ang maraming hnhire, mas mura kasi sila paswelduhin. Kung Magnet hospital naman, advantage yung BSN ka.

Marami narin americano nag aapply ng nursing, (RN). Nursing schools dito over flowing, ang kaibahan lang sa Pilipinas, may quota talaga sila, hindi yung tanggap ng tanggap.

The upside is, in 5 years time, ang dami ng magreretire na senior nurses (at least in our area).

Your best bet is get as much hospital experience as you can (na certified). Para pag punta dito may proof kayo na capable na kayo at hindi na kailangan turuan (tulad ko haha).

hi bro! sa dami ng nurses ngayon, very tough talaga ang competition. hospital experience is a must if you want to land a well-paying job in a good hospital. even agencies nowadays require 1-2 years hospital experience as staff nurse sa mga applicants. very unfair i must say dahil panu naman yung mga volunteer diba? they do almost the same job as staff, they're just not paid for their effort. there are some agencies who accept applicants with no hospital experience, but this is rare. Parang wala na nga eh. Mahirap maging nurse sa Pinas. Mahirap maghanap ng trabaho. Gusto mo mag-abroad para magkawork pero not enough experience naman.

bro, i suggest that your gf visit workabroad.com.ph and register there. it's a great site. employers will be the one to call you if they're interested in you.

[morbiedoll]

^ hey don't look at it as mahirap. look at it as a challenge.  we all start somewhere.

fresh grad ako pag punta ko dito so 0 hosp experience. yung napasukan ko willing sila to train (with pay & benefits) kaya lang dapat after ng training ko sakanila parin ako magttrabaho. haha

[iammaj]

mga sis, advantage ba sa pag-apply abroad if we have special unit trainings gaya ng dialysis, ICU, etc?? nagdialysis training na kasi ako, iniisip ko kung mag ICU training pa.. sana di masayang.

[chinablue]

oo naman sis. it's an advantage but it's not required naman.

[RedHotMomma]

pano na nga mag renew ng license pag 1-2 yrs expired.magkano kaya bayad

[Lhexiedc]

Super hirap hanap ngaun. Even volunteer. Galing kami ng Jose Reyes kanina. Sabi [textspeak!] trainings nila reserved na for 2012. Gosshh!!

Sis marbiedoll im planning to take NCLEX. Kaso hindi ko alam pano. Wala ako mahingian ng advices. Meron po ba tumutulong sa ganun? Open pa po ba California? Sabi kasi need daw SSN. Thanks.

[iammaj]

^Hi sis. pasagot ha.. May nadaanan ako dati sa St. Thomas Square sa Morayta na NCLEX application center, I forgot the name. Ineexplain nila lahat, may additional fee nga lang for processing. Try mo rin sa review centers, kase nung nagreview ako nag-offer sila ng processing for free (though di ako nag-avail). May ipopost pa sana ko link to other site kaso i'm not sure kung allowed dito sa thread..pm na lang kita sis.

[morbiedoll]

try mo sis Vermont or New Mexico.
ang nclex ko kasi, taken last 2008 state of California, pero mag 3 years na sya, so sabi ng employer ko ilipat ko na agad sa Vermont kasi hindi nahingi ng SSN at may licence ka pa agad, unlike sa California na papel lang matatanggap mo na nakapasa ka ng nclex kasi hindi sila magbibigay ng licence hanggat walang SSN. kaya ngayon magpapa endorse na ako kasi malapit na mag 3 years.
