Finally after 6 mos of looking for a job I received a JO, but this one is not working bedside. I am torn if I will accept this work or not, I’ll be working as a Med Rep, Is this compensation okay or justifiable?

Basic Salary: Php 18,000

De Minimis (Transpo, Meal, Comms): Php 7,500

Commission (Training): Php 250 per case

Commission (After Training/Solo): Php 500 per case

HMO: Available after the 6-month probationary period

Okay ba itong package for a starter? Or lugi sa biyahe since malawak yung area of territory na handle ko?

Hi. I need your advice po. Im currently torn between working at middle east while waiting for my PD to be current for US which is sabi nila 2-3 years including retrogression or staying here. But the problem is, my employer/agency will not allow me to work abroad while waiting and they want me to stay where i am now.. gusto ko po magwork sana sa abroad para makapagipon ipon kaysa magstay dito sa pinas na konti lang sahod.. sa tingin niyo po ba dapat nalanv ako magstay dito sa pinas and mag-wait ng 2-3 years for my PD to be current (walang kasiguraduhan pero yan yung sabi nila) or magtry muna ako sa middle east and dun na ako magwait for my US application para naman mas madami maipon .

Applied as a nurse sa City Health Office ng LGU namin. Tapos na ako sa interview and nakapagpasa na ako requirements and sabi they will call/message me daw for Office Order. Ano po yung office order? Gaano katagal po bago makatanggap nun para makastart na ako? Sure na po ba na hired na ako if for office order na ako?

Hello! I would like to ask kung how much po ba talaga ang offer ng government hospitals sa mga JO? Upon researching iba-iba po kasi yung lumalabas. Thank you!

Hi everyone! I’m a USRN and PHRN currently looking for a soft nursing role with a work-from-home or hybrid setup.

A little background about me:
• PHRN (2024)
• USRN (2025)
• Less than 6 months of bedside experience (ICU/Medical-Surgical) from last year.

Feel ko di na ako nag ggrow as a company nurse and i want to earn more 😭🙏

Hello po. New RN here! May alam po ba kayong hiring na hospitals around manila? flss sana machoose😭

So, I randomly monitored my bp yesterday, and mataas siya 145/85, granted na galing ako night shift nun. Today it's 135/85. I plan to monitor it for 2 weeks before consulting a doctor. Anyway, if ever na chronic talaga siya, meron bang naka abroad dito na hypertensive? Or on maintenance. I'm only 22 btw, I used to be obese, but now in a healthy weight, so I was surprised na mataas pala bp ko.

hii po!

do you think po I will land a job in hospital setting sa foreign countries if I am a psych nurse? I have an offer po kasi sa isang psych facility sa province namin and willing to relocate since may house kami doon. But iniisip ko lang if magagamit ko ba yung experience ko as psych nurse if ever pumunta ako sa US and work at hospital there.

1 yr na kong nurse sa isang gov hospital dito sa pinas. Ang tagal ko nang JO, pero may mas matatagal pa sakin. Mga 10 yrs or malapit na din mag 10 yrs na JO. Pero di nappermanent. Depende pala ito sa kapit mo sa hospital. Kaya kahit pang Nurse 1 kami, ang nurse 1 lang yung may mga kapit. Nakakaawa pa situations naming mga JO kasi pahirapan sa sahod. Laging late, laging halos binibeg namin yung sahod namin. Gusto ko nalang lumipat ng private para atleast di man lang late sahod. Dito lang ako nalubog ng nalubog sa utang. At 26 yrs old nasa 100k na utang ko dahil dito. Gusto ko nalang umalis ng bansa. Ni walang benefits nurses na JO, walang hazard pay. Eh kami ang laging expose sa mga pasyente.

Ano po kayang meaning nito? from JCI hospital to.

They knew me already kasi yung senior manager ng kakilala ko is send ng send ng CV ko.

Nagask na rin sakin ng questions regarding sa experience ko, previous applicant ako( I turned them down kasi may mas malaking offer yung soft nursing na alam ko and need ko ng money that time), anong year ako graduate and anong year nag NLE.

Nalulungkot lang ako kasi based dito sa reddit, Masyado na kong matanda sa range ng common na hire nila (2020 ako graduate).

As someone na once palang nainterview sa buong job life niya, if you can decode? Sorry super silly ng ate niyo.

Hello. So recently, I started training sa isang hospital. During interview, I lied about being an NCLEX passer.

Ngayon, may nakaalam na colleague ko na nakapasa na ako. I’m just worried and anxious na baka maipagkalat na nakapasa na ako. Medjo nagu-guilty rin because I lied. I’m contemplating right now if I’ll come clean or not. 😭😭

Hi po mga ates and kuyas. Pahingi naman po ng advice for IELTS/CELPIP. Planning to review na kasi this month kaso di ko alam if worth it ba yung review center or mag self review nalang. Any advice will do po. Salamat po!

hi is 1,500/day good for an on-call nurse vaccinator? i’m a nov 2025 grad with no exp yet 🥹

That’s what my senior nurse said to me and I honestly haven’t stopped thinking about it since.

For context, I was supposed to give my patient a bed bath. But the patient was already getting agitated, saying it was cold and asking me to just do it tomorrow. I tried encouraging her and explained she might feel better after, but she kept refusing and was getting more irritated.

So instead of forcing it, I still tried to provide care within what she could tolerate. I changed the linens, cleaned her hands, feet, and perineal area with wipes, changed her diaper and underpad, and made him more comfortable overall.

Later my senior asked if I gave the bed bath and when I said no because the patient was cold and refusing, she said: “parang hindi nurse.”

I didn’t even know how to react. I just froze. Did I miss something? Did I handle it wrong? Was I supposed to force the patient? Am I too soft for bedside nursing?

I know I still have a lot to learn, but that comment really hit me harder than I expected.

After that interaction, I kept asking myself: is bedside nursing really like this? Do I just have to swallow comments like these and get used to them?

Because honestly, ayoko. Ayokong masanay na normal lang mangpahiya, mangliit, or make someone feel incompetent over one situation. I know I’m new. I know I still have so much to learn. I’m open to correction. But there’s a difference between teaching and making someone feel small.

I don’t know. Maybe I’m too sensitive. Maybe this is just reality in bedside nursing. But right now, I just feel tired.

Need advice po huhu.

Nag-apply ako before as Private Duty Nurse and na-hire naman ako. Maganda talaga yung sahod and full-time dapat ako doon, kaso halos wala naman akong client noon. Parang sa isang buwan, 3 beses lang yata ako naka-duty kaya nag-decide ako mag-apply as dialysis nurse. Need ko rin kasi ng experience sa dialysis sakaling mag-abroad in the future. Hindi ko lang sinabi sa PDN agency na may iba akong work.

Na-hire din ako as dialysis nurse. Okay naman yung work, stable yung pasok, at nagustuhan ko na rin yung ginagawa ko. Kaso mas mababa talaga yung sahod compared sa PDN. Pero nitong May, sunod-sunod naman bigla yung tawag sakin sa PDN. Reliever pa lang ako pero natatapat naman sa off ko sa dialysis kaya nakakapasok ako sa cases. Paldo talaga sa sahod.

Ngayon nahihirapan ako kasi bawal pagsabayin since full-time dapat ako sa kanilang dalawa. Need ko na mamili kung PDN ba na mas mataas sahod pero hindi sure kung tuloy-tuloy ang client, or dialysis na mas mababa sahod pero stable yung income at may experience pa for the future.

Feeling ko kailangan ko na mag-AWOL sa isa sa kanila huhu

Hey everybody, I'm new here.

I reported the CEUFAST NY Child Abuse Training course by mistake. Will it be a problem while applying for NCLEX down the line?

I was offered a job in the government hospital as Nurse I pero hindi ko alam saan ako ilalagay. Sa nurses jan ng government usually sa bedside ba nilalagay or nagrorotate talaga? Please enlighten me huhu
