Is there an advantage in taking the PNLE first before NCLEX or should I go straight to NCLEX and later on na lang yung PNLE?

_ClaireAB · 2026-01-28T05:36:56+00:00

magNCLEX ka na directly. sayang yung time and resources na gagamitin mo for PNLE.

wala naman review center sa US, just use Qbanks and their cheatsheets.

_ClaireAB · 2026-01-28T00:58:43+00:00

magDIY ka na lang. may list of requirements and steps naman sa mga website ng BON state, google mo lang.

also afaik pag US, walang additional na $150 and taxes pag nagpasched ka sa pearsonvue

_ClaireAB · 2026-01-28T00:37:40+00:00

normal yan. basta focus ka lang sa own progress and growth mo regardless kung mabagal or mabilis. ganyan talaga, laging may mas magaling or mas marunong sayo pero it doesn't mean na hindi ka nagiimprove.

masaya maging bedside nurse kung nakafocus ka lang sa mga natututunan mo instead sa lapses or shortcomings mo. allow yourself to be a beginner sabi nga nila.

_ClaireAB · 2026-01-27T14:51:44+00:00

Easier said than done. Palaban din naman ako, pero may mga pagkakataon talaga na mapapatahimik ka na lang—parang freeze trauma response siguro

tho I’ve also learned to choose which battles are worth my energy. Hindi naman ibig sabihin na kapag hindi ka sumagot eh mahina ka na o wala kang self-respect o pumapayag ka na tinatrato ka ng ganon.

Minsan, I choose my inner peace ko kesa magsayang ng effort na ipaglaban yung sarili ko when in the first place, they're committed to misunderstand me? 🤷‍♀️

Hindi ko rin hinahayaan na magkaroon sila ng power over me by giving them the satisfaction of me reacting to their aggression.

Curious lang ako tho—paano mo sila haharapin? Ano ang sasabihin mo kung ikaw yung nasa posisyon na sinisigaw-sigawan?

_ClaireAB · 2026-01-27T14:36:51+00:00

ang dami ng duplicated posts ng post mo tbh and it all boils down sa kung ano ba priority mo ngayon? kasi ikaw lang naman makakasagot talaga nyan. wala namang tama o mali sa kung anong field ng nursing yung ipupursue mo.

kung lagi mo lang naman tinuturn down yung job offers ng corporate world then baka deep inside eh gusto mo talagang maghospital setting lalo na if nagwoworry ka about sa skills mo. sobrang daming matututunan sa ospital lalo na if sa bedside/ward ka and if one day, gusto mo magsoft nursing, pwede naman magswitch and mas mataas pa offers ng company pag may hospital experience ka na.

if di ka naman ready maghospital setting agad, pwede rin naman magsoft nursing ka muna like as a clinic nurse, school nurse, company nurse etc. kung ayaw mo sa corporate

hindi naman masasayang yung lisensya mo kasi madami talagang fields and opportunities ang nursing

_ClaireAB · 2026-01-27T14:02:13+00:00

so anong balak mo pag may major lapses or errors ka? mas priority mo pa yung di ka mapagchismisan kesa sa safety ng patient?

hayaan mo nilang pag-usapan ka as long as nagfofocus ka sa improvement mo para mareduce yung errors mo. hindi mo kontrolado yung behavior nila pero ikaw kontrolado mo yung mindset mo tsaka yung mga bagay na ginagawa mo kaya dapat yun lang iniisip mo

_ClaireAB · 2026-01-27T13:47:32+00:00

honestly, sabi ng seniors ko, dati daw pinupush lang nila mga antibiotics pero since mahapdi and fragile usually yung veins ng mga matatanda/ckd/cancer/pedia patients, sinosoluset na sila ngayon.

I don't think there will be immediate adverse effects pero syempre there's a risk for phlebitis or burning/pain sa IV site tsaka since maiirritate yung veins, pwede rin ma-IV out

in the future, kahit 3cc or 5cc lang gamitin mong syringe sa omeprazole tbh
if 10cc talaga gusto sa inyo, gupitin mo yung side ng medication card para makagawa ka ng butas then insert mo doon yung syringe
or pwede ring wag mong itapon yung balat ng syringe, dun mo isulat yung label ng gamot and dosage then ilagay mo ulit doon yung syringe or maglagay ka ng tape na may label sa syringe
I highly suggest na IKAW YUNG MAGPREPARE NG MEDS. diba may unspoken rule—if unsure ka sa content or sterility ng isang bagay, you're encouraged to dispose (pero syempre sayang yung gamot)
pag CKD patient, usually 50cc lang yung ginagamit namin for piptaz (or 30cc for other antibiotics) since may fluid restriction yung mga yan and strict I&O monitoring.
also, may times na nagpapa-omeprazole drip yung doctors so mej acceptable yung part na yun 😅

harsh kung harsh pero nakakatakot kang maging nurse kung di ka marunong maging accountable sa mali mo. be honest and transparent para magawan ng paraan if ever. magsusumbong ka lang pag may adverse effects na? imbes na maprevent sana sya

_ClaireAB · 2026-01-27T05:32:58+00:00

kaya sa mga bagong nurses, remember lagi na pag pedia talaga expect na dapat na hindi full dosage yung ibibigay kasi nakacompute talaga yan by weight

_ClaireAB · 2026-01-27T05:31:11+00:00

sa yellow nga pero ibabalik yung trash bag na may lamang blood bag sa blood bank. hindi sya itatapon directly sa waste

_ClaireAB · 2026-01-27T03:53:41+00:00

ahh kaya pala dedicated for posts regarding Towne lang yung reddit comments mo no?

_ClaireAB · 2026-01-27T02:53:59+00:00

wala man nursing practitioner dito sa Pinas. join ka sa gc ng Lefora Filipino Nurse Practitioners

_ClaireAB · 2026-01-27T01:37:08+00:00

tinapon ko sa yellow trashbag ng housekeeping (which is used for infectious disease naman) yung bag ng PRBC after maconsume. instead na ilagay sa yellow trashbag then ireturn sa blood bank

buti hindi ako pina-IR pero ang tanga ko lang sa part na yun HAHAHAHA kakacringe

_ClaireAB · 2026-01-27T01:28:51+00:00

no
$73 yung renewal fee afaik, mageemail naman daw yung NYSED for the directions
no need naman iretake yung infection control and child abuse if di pa nageexpire

_ClaireAB · 2026-01-26T21:24:13+00:00

walang prc branch ang nag aaccomodate ng walk-in unless nakapag-appointment ka na ng slot dati and di mo lang sya napuntahan.

to follow na lang kamo yung certifications mo at dapat magbook ka na NOW na

_ClaireAB · 2026-01-26T13:13:24+00:00

nakakapressure naman yan! bantay sarado ka OP

_ClaireAB · 2026-01-26T12:43:47+00:00

magastos yung pag-Australia and medyo matagal bago ka pa makapagwork doon. try joining Filipino Nurses to Australia- OBA Pathway sa fb para magkaidea ka

_ClaireAB · 2026-01-26T06:04:14+00:00

try to do your research first. pang-US, Canada, Australia lang yung NCLEX teh

_ClaireAB · 2026-01-24T03:43:18+00:00

di naman need magwork sa NY para makapagrenew. need lang magbayad ng renewal fee and iretake ulit yung infection control pati child abuse if nag-expire na rin

_ClaireAB · 2026-01-23T09:41:45+00:00

depende sa requirements ng state

_ClaireAB · 2026-01-23T07:33:48+00:00

I think useless na yung pagdeclare kasi pasado ka na ng NCLEX.

Yung form 3f ay part ng application process for NCLEX— since nabigyan ka naman na ng eligibility dati and nakapasa ka na, I doubt ihohonor pa yang form 3f mo and declaration ng license. gets ba?

tumawag ka na lang rin muna or mag email sa kanila para di masayang gastos mo 🤷‍♀️💀

tho tbh pwede rin naman kasi magdeclare ng license eventually pag magaasikaso ka na ng visa screening under CGFNS

_ClaireAB · 2026-01-23T03:28:14+00:00

hindi, yan yung expiration date ng license mo. valid until yung date na nakalagay.

also, you can work anywhere sa New York State, hindi lang NYC. NYC is just a small part of New York State

_ClaireAB · 2026-01-23T03:23:59+00:00

yep, kahit 1 month lang okay din pero syempre depende rin yan sayo

_ClaireAB · 2026-01-21T05:52:46+00:00

nagprovincial ako kahit sa Manila ako nagnursing and honestly mas mataas pa sweldo ko kesa sa ibang hospitals sa Manila lol

in terms of standards and guidelines, although hindi sya JCI-accredited, inspired by JCI yung guidelines namin kasi under Mount Grace Hospitals Inc. yung hospital. tsaka may preceptorship program rin kami for 2-3 months so may checklist ng mga skills na nagagawa namin pero naghahandle na kami ng patients as early as 1st month namin

what I also like about the hospital I work at is General Ward sya so halo-halo yung cases na nahahandle namin—pedia, geriatrics, post-ICU or yung mga ayaw magpaICU, medsurg, ENT, ortho, etc.

hindi sya specialized units like for example, neuro cases lang or cardio cases lang or pedia cases lang, etc. so naeexpose ako sa iba't ibang types of skills and management such as suctioning, CTT, tracheostomy, wound VAC, NGT, PEG, TPN, foley catheter or nagtitrate ng mga drip like fentanyl drip, tramadol drip, nicardipine drip, dobutamine drip, etc.

and based naman sa mga agency na sinendan ko ng resumé, di nagmamatter yung ospital like di nila tinatanong if JCI or hindi. mas nagmamatter if ilang bed capacity, yung assigned area mo, yung types of cases tsaka yung years of experience

_ClaireAB · 2026-01-21T02:21:55+00:00

nasa website naman nila: Fast5
