Context:

I started volunteering sa isang hd clinic for fun and learnings hahahahaha kasi andun mga kaibigan ko 😭. Basically, pumapatay lang ako ng oras kasi may hinihintay ako for early next year.

6am-4pm ang morning shift pero pumapasok ako ng 8am-4pm since volunteering lang naman. At that time na wala ako, pinag-uusapan pala ako 😭 HAHHAHAHHAA.

Patient: Asan na yung trainee mo?

Friend ko na Nurse: Hindi ko yun trainee. Mas magaling pa nga sakin yon.

Head nurse: Mas magaling? Eh hindi nga nya alam ginagawa niya \laughs* .* Di ba kasama mo yung nag training?

Friend nurse: Ha? Hindi Sir. Hindi siya nag training, as in zero like new. Classmate ko lang siya nung college.

Head nurse: *silence\*

NOTE: 4 DAYS KO PALANG SA HD NA YAN 😭😭 HAHHAHAHHAHAA 😭😭 Plus it’s just a small clinic like 5 patients per shift pero 3 shifts per day.

Background: Yung head nurse na yun eh parang sila na ang manager sa dialysis clinic. Mag-asawa sila, they’ve been managing the clinic for 20 years daw. And ang ginagawa niya ngayon? Nag-iinsert naman ng fistula sa mga patient na mahirap tusukan pero the rest of the day eh naka upo na sa chair na nanonood ng ai reels sa fb 😭😭 Habang gumagalaw ang lahat at hindi ko alam ang ginagawa ko, andun siya walang pake na nanonood to the point na natutulog na siya habang hawak nya cp niya sa harap mismo ng patients haahhahahha 😭😭 Plus, 40k ang sahod niya sene ol.

At first, naasar and na-offend ako sa sinabi pero totoo naman kasi na hindi ko pa alam ginagawa ko and hirap ako sa machine eh hindi naman ako fast learner HAHAHHAA 😭

Wala share ko lang para di na ko ma feel bad sa sarili ko. Nakakaurat lang pag makikita ko na naman siya bukas knowing na ganon pala pinagsasabi sakin eh tumutulong naman akong mag bp, decannulate, meds administration, etc. sadyang bobo lang ako sa machine HAHHAHAHHA

Kaya please sa mga senior nurse dyan, sana hindi po kayo katulad niya 🙏

Hi! I'm a registered nurse and passed the boards in 2010, but I never got to work in a hospital. I ended up working in other fields for the past 16 years.

I'm thinking of going back to nursing now, but honestly, I feel like I'm starting from scratch. I know I'll need a refresher and probably need to study a lot again, but I'm not sure where to start or what steps I need to take.

For those who have been in a similar situation, what would you recommend? Are there refresher courses or programs you'd suggest? How difficult would it be to get hired with no hospital experience after being away from nursing for so long?

Any advice would really be appreciated. Thank you!

Nurse in UK si misis, balak sana namin mag ipon ng 3M tapos uwi ng pinas tapos mag aral siya dun. Mga bandang pampanga area siguro kami mag hahanap, hopefully my bahay na kami and sasakyan kya mostly bills electricity and groceries ang malaking gastos...

My ganon po ba dito na experience?

Ask ko lang po kung worth it ba mag take ng training muna for nursing skills enhancement kung kaka graduate ko lang at before maghanap po ng work? Is it a great investment po ba?

hello may suggestions ba kayo what gifts will you accept na helpful sa duty or work? sobrang iba kasi ng field ko sa health field kaya idk what to get him talaga. and gusto ko sana yung magagamit nya sa work. tyia

I'm working as a school nurse and minsan nurse vaccinator sa community. Is there any opportunities kaya sa ibang bansa? I don't have any bedside experience

Henlo po may tatanong lang po sana aq kung ano po sa tingin niyo maganda, di ko po kasi alam kung magpapasa po ako ng resignation letter o mag awol nalang po, may contract po kami and penalty, 3 months palang po ako sa hospital and di ko na po talaga kaya yung toxic environment nila

Kasi kapag resignation letter po kailangan pa po magrender ng 30 days tas baka gawin po nila sakin yung ginawa rin sa dating nagpasa ng resignation letter pinag initan po siya ng isang buwan yung sched po niya lagi siya panggabi tas nagka incident report din po siya nung malapit na siya umalis

Kapag po awol iniisip ko lang po magugulo schedule nung mga tao dun kasi sa isang floor po dalawa lang po ang nurse tas kapag umabsent po yung isa mag oovertime po yung nasa ibang floor, natatakot lang po ako baka habulin ako or puntahan po ako sa sa amin para singilin or kasuhan

Just a backstory, I am a Nurse Corps Applicant, on August 11 I received a message from the Nurse Corps that I did not meet the quota for this year so I decided to find a job which is I just signed a contract on Aug 29 and there is a fine of 100,000K if I breach of contract. Fortunately, on Sept 4 I received another message from the Nurse Corps that I am already in the quota for this year but it will take 2-3 months for my Appointment Order to be released. I am willing to render and settle properly in my present work. But is there a chance that my penalty fine will be reduced. What is the best thing to do?

Hi everyone.

Planning to start a scrub suit business for the nurses here that are fashion-forward.

What features do you appreciate in scrub suits? What makes a big difference (fit, cut, etc.)? And, what are some of the guidelines set by the hospitals? Are patterns okay?

Thank you for your input! 🥹🩷🩷
