after working as a nurse for months, i've realized that this is not the future i want for myself. i realized that i don't want to work in patient care, i don't want to work abroad, and i don't want to work in a hospital. all i really want is a simple life with a simple 8-hour job that allows me to have time for myself and enjoy life outside of work.

i feel so sad because i honestly don't know what to do anymore. i'm even considering enrolling in another program to pursue a second degree, but i'm scared of starting over again. am i the only one who feels this way?

Please don’t rush sa nursing career natin. Maging vigilant nalang din. Don’t sign with them. Maraming bad reviews.

Hi Kuya/Ate RN's!

Just wanna share here that I got accepted as a Company Nurse sa isang shipping lines company. The offer is VERY GOOD (yes capslock po opo) + allowances pa and 15mins away lang sa bahay.

So now while working here i'm also reviewing for my NCLEX since waiting nalang ako for my eligibility + naka-enroll po ako sa german language school.

Anyways, so to cut it short, dream ko talaga magbedside kaso sobrang baba ng offer (manila area) as in barat kung barat talaga. Plan ko is to get certification for Deutsch language, B2 level, then eventually by God's grace makaland ng job pa germany/austria/netherlands nang walang bedside exp at tanging language certificate lang ang pang laban HAHAHAHAH

now ko narealize na lowkey ganda pala ng kursong to kase parang ang daming pwedeng side quest ang pasukin JSJAHAHAHAHAHAH

anyways, goods po ba yang plan ko? if u have advice (pls be kind poooo)

hi! i just want to ask for an advice about this interview questions po. "are you planning to go abroad?" and "how long are you planning to work in the hospital?". i got asked those two questions from the two hospitals that i secured a final interview in. as per advices sa akin, they said na no need to lie na daw since the hospital expects naman na in this generation almost every new nurses are planning to abroad after getting work experience here. so i honestly answered na i'm planning to work 2-3 years and then planned to go abroad after that.

another advice was don't give them a specific answer daw. like don't answer with a yes or no. so i did that with the second hospital i got interviewed in. i told them that right now i am focused on training and growing in the professional environment. like that's my only goal for now. to make sure i can be the nurse my novice self would trust. and if an opportunity comes, i will handle it professionally and that's when i would decide.

sadly, i got ghosted after those interviews. i feel like i said something wrong. or hindi talaga yun ang answers na hinahanap nila. please help a nov 2025 passer here who really wanted to land a job na huhu

​

Ako lang ba? From Nov 2025 Gusto ko lang po tlga mag rant , hirap na hirap na ako maghanap ng work ilang months ka akong job hunti from province hanggang nasa maynila na ako right now pero bokya pa rin, nakakadisappoint din sa sarili. Yung mga friends ko tas kasabayan ko, may mga work na tas ako wala pa rin tas ngayon ang tumatanggap sakin if bpo under healthcare account. Tas ayon may umaabot naman po ng final interview tas halos lahat naghoghost after parang walang nangyayari talaga. Nakakapanlumo. Okay naman bpo pero naiisip ko sayang yung 4 years, sayang yung persng pinangtuition tas di ko man lang magamit yung lisendya ko kahit isang taon or dalawang taon lang sana na exp pero ni isa wala pa rin. Plan ko po snaa mag bpo nalang muna tas everyweek papasa ng resume sa mga napili kong hospital gang magsawa na sila sa akin. Ayun lang nakakalungkot lang maging Nurse sa pinas kala ko ba kulang kulang pero bat parang wala namang naghihire.

Hello! i was just wondering, magkano po salary sa Asian Hospital if newly registered nurse ka pa lang? will it be enough to rent a place nearby the hospital?

please hoping someone will answer me. thank you very much!

Gaano po katagal ang process from initial exam hanggang ma-hire? Umaabot po ba ng 3 months or mas matagal pa?

Thanks in advance!

Hello, I want to ask for your opinion po about this matter. I currently work as a Company Nurse and my basic salary is 21k. When I applied at the company, I was still waiting for the board exam results. During the initial interview over the phone, they ask me what salary do I expect. I said whatever they think I deserve so the HR did not ask more questions.

Now when I attended the final interview, I got confused by the General Manager cause she asked me what is the salary of Nurses in Hospital so I answered maybe 21-25k. Then I saw her write the 21k in my resume. She did not ask me for my expected salary or if Im okay with it. I did not ask cause I dont want them to think Im just for the money.

And then I just had our Oath taking ceremony and the BON said we should never settle for less. Now my friends were talking about salary and their basic salary were around 28k above. I feel so sad so whenever they talk about it tumatahimik nalang ako.

I want to ask if I could get a raise in salary. I work 12 hours (I have 4 hours OT) and they have 2 companies and nagduduty ako don both, bale shifting per week. I accepted the 21k because I’m not yet a licensed nurse at that time. I did not say that I am not going to ask for a raise. I feel really undercompensated. I feel so unmotivated and there are times I want to cry cause I feel like I dont deserve the salary I get. I’m at fault too cause I already signed the contract stating that my basic salary is 21k.

What to do :(((

Hi everyone! I'm posting on behalf of my sister-in-law, a Registered Nurse (RN) with 4 years of healthcare experience. She's currently looking for a part-time job and is hoping to find an opportunity as soon as possible.

She's open to relevant opportunities where she can apply her nursing knowledge and experience, including remote or work-from-home positions if available.

If you know of any hospitals, clinics, healthcare companies, or organizations hiring part-time nurses, healthcare assistants, medical virtual assistants, or other suitable roles, please let me know in the comments or send me a DM.

I'd greatly appreciate any leads, referrals, or recommendations. Thank you so much for your help!

Hello colleague. Sino po dito mga nag apply for Staff Nurse I sa RMC? Any update po? Natawagan or interview na po kayo? Kasi matagal ng close yung hiring nila sa CSC pero until now hindi parin ako natatawagan/text. Gusto ko lang malaman kung open pa sila or not na 🥲🥲

Hello, everyone!
I just received an email from HR informing me that I’ve moved on to the next stage of the application process! I’ll be taking an examination for a nursing position at Mega Drug Rehabilitation Center near my home.

I really want to pass the exam so I can proceed to the interview. The examination is on October 19, so I only have three days to prepare.

Do you have any advice on what topics I should review or how I can prepare for the exam? Any review materials, tips, or helpful resources would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much! I hope I can make it!🤍

Hello po, I’m a newly registered nurse na may JO from a dialysis center (CALABARZON) . HR only interviewed me over the phone. Details they told me only includes:
- shifting sched
- provided acls and bls training
- 2 yrs bond

At the time I agreed na I’m fine with those and willing to work immediately even without being given an exact salary rate. They told me that they’ll be sending a “contract”, I can just sign online and onboarding will start next week.

Now they sent a text msg saying na I’ll have to sign the contract on site na lang.

Question is, can I ask about the job description, salary, exact schedule and other terms of the contract over the phone/text? What am I allowed/not allowed to ask before signing the contract? And what questions should I ask to protect myself from being taken advantage of? I feel like the whole thing is too fast haha or ganto talaga?

good day po, mga kunars! recently passed the board exam and question lang po if pwede kaya mag-walk in sa government hospital kahit wala silang posting (ex: sa CSC career)? planning to apply sana sa hospital malapit sa amin.

bukod po doon, ano pa po need dalhin kapag magpapasa sa kanila ng resume? PDS lang po ba?

salamat po!

Hi! Curious question lang po, I am a passer of Aug-Sep 2026 PNLE and currently applying for NCLEX.

If ever po ba sa Regional Hospitals po ako nag-acquire ng experience to apply for agencies otw sa US, matatanggap po ako? Or much better to gain experience sa private hospital with 300+ bed capacity? Thanks po! 🙏

Hello po, i just got an email for examination sa hospital na inapply-an ko sa province. Ano po kaya possible contents ng exam. Ano po mga need ko i-ready. Tyia 🥺🥺 pls be nice its my very first time po

Hello everyone, gusto ko lang mag tanong if possible pa rin bang nakapag work sa UAE as a nurse kahit na may peklat sa baga? I had a tb 6 years ago though hindi naman na active pero parang na didiscourage ako to take DOH/HAAD exam dahil baka masayang lang. I have a relative in Abu dhabi and willing sya na sponsoran ako para makapunta doon ang kaso baka wala ring tumanggap sakin or worse hindi ako ma approve kapag kumuha ako ng working visa. TIA.

Hello po fellow nurses! Need your advice lang po kasi medyo overwhelmed ako sa situation ko right now.

​Sa private hospital, tapos na ako sa interview phase. Meanwhile, examination naman sa public.

Wala oa naman kasiguraduhan na hired but just​ in case na mag start na ako magtrabaho sa private hospital. What if habang probation ko pa lang, biglang dumating yung JO from public hospital?

​Kung kayo po ang nasa lugar ko, paano niyo po iha-handle yung ganon? Tutuloy po ba agad kayo sa public hospital or mas magandang panindigan muna ang private hospital para sa experience? May negative impact po ba ito sa career or records if mag-resign nang maaga sa private?

​Medyo lost lang po ako on how to handle this properly in the future. Any insights or personal experiences would be super helpful po.

Thank you so much!

hello po! i got an email for an examination from fabella po. may i ask what to expect from the exam or kung kumusta po yung hospital overall? thank you!
