Nursing....overpromised?

[nItO/pIrEnA]

---

di ko happy...but it's here na man...i'll just make the most out of it...

besides, if di ko mag nurse practitioner, i'll save money to take up a course that i love...

and oh, in demand baya daw ang med rep sa states, ang qualifications sa nurses pwede kaayo as med rep...no need for nclex ek-ek pa gyud...hehhee

Nursing is not overpromised, it's overhyped.

i was one of the unlucky ones, i guess ky dugay man pod ko na hire. but i never lost hope...

it all boils down to pana-panahon lang ang chances kada-tao but each one has to work a plan to attain a dream...

pero sa over-population karon sa students, ky mixed emotions ko. na luoy ko na maglagot sa parents ug other variables leading to the decision na generally these days, people has to take up nursing for monetary reasons in the future. well, as the saying goes NOT EVERYONE IS CUT TO BE A NURSE! better make sure that U made the right choice and live not ur life here in abroad with all misery!!!

haha ingon ana pod ko bro.. not happy at all.. pero puslan man naa na gyud ni, sa kdaghan sa kalisod nga naagi-an, we'll just make the most out of it..

& i do have plans pod para i-pursue ang kurso nga ako gyung pangandoy bahalag tiguwang na mo-skwela..hehe ang importante is ang fulfillment.

ako i took up nursing coz pag grad nko high school wala pa jud koy plans, as in.. walay direction sa life.. all i knew was i wanted to be a pilot or an astronaut.. yep serious ko ana ato nga time.. anyway, ganahan man sd ug nursing akong mom then barato ra sad..

along the way, wala jud ko ka-feel ug any inclination towards nursing.. except sa isa ka subject na naganahan sad ko.. medical surgical nursing..

mao karon ngplan ko magtake up ug medicine.. bcn diay dha ko maayo.. at least magamit nko ang nursing as a pre-med course, then at least naa pud ko experience in dealing with patients..

CGFNS certificate is required in the US. Americans

that would depend on what state you are applying for your license. not all 50 states requires CG and in fact more than half of the states already are not using it as pre-requisite.

pero kung mo-register ka by endorsement gikan sa state na imong napasaran sans CG padung ngadto sa imong state na ganahan pero mo-require ug CG, there's a big chance na patake-on ka nila ug CG before ka ka-register didto...same with states na mangayo ug local license ug dili mangayo ug local license
