I took up Bachelors degree in nursing for 4 years and when I finally graduated last 2010,..I have dis many mix emotions and feelings of being a succesful or not later on in my life its literally because there's too many Nursing graduate already and there's a little of employement on medical fields here in Philippines. Oh men,.. I tell you I just wish I was born on the other country so that I wud'nt be experiencing this kind of life. And as i was planning to enroll for the Local review in a review center, I found out that the schedule for January batch was moved in febuary and I feel bored already. recently, since I've got nothing to do at this moment...Im trying to find ways too earn money through internet. Believing that everything starts wid nothing as they say.. I just wanted to share my situation today and believe me It totally brought me relief.

hey there! Im actually just starting now my review for july exam. Goodluck for you in the upcoming result this month. Hope you could pass and may you have green pasture in the future. Oh men, I tell you nurses here in our country are left unrecognized by the government and damn it! it really sucks!

Hi zenaida23, It's too bad you don't live in Canada. I'm in Ontario and have my 2 year RPN and have never lacked for work right from graduation. I know of a woman at my work from China and one from the other hospital in town who is also from the Philippines who have both come to Canada to work and been very successful in finding work and acceptance. I don't know if that would be an option for you but perhaps this helps. Either way I wish you luck. Stick with it, it's the most rewarding career I can think of.

hey! im Glad that your life went smoothly and you have a great career. I bet your friends did applied for a agency for Canada and also great for them.I have plans of working abroad but first I must have to be a registered nurse here so that I could have a Work experience herr for atleast 2 years because this is usually one of the requirements in certain job application for abroad employement.. Thanks for sharing me about something, appreciate it so much..
