There’s a lot of Registered Nurse here in the Philippines but it’s hard to get hired in a hospital because of competition and most are not hiring or has limited slots only. I am one of the Licensed Nurse that has to seek employment out of my profession because of this situation. Two of my siblings are staff nurses in a well known hospital in Quezon City, but that don’t help me in getting hired in that same hospital. I got high ratings at the Nursing Licensure Exam, I definitely can perform well as a nurse yet I know there are others like me in the same situation.
Newly grads hope to pass the Nursing Board Exam at first try. They want to land a job as a staff nurse in one of the best hospitals in the country. But the situation right now is you have to wait at least a year to at least train in any hospital in the land. Most are forced to apply in call centers or invest in business ventures. But for me, I choose to work home based using my computer and an Internet connection. I know that I still have to practice my profession, but till then I have to make use of the time to earn money while I’m waiting developments on my application both in the hospitals here in the Philippines and the Middle East. It’s a wise thing to do since I have full control of my time, I earn dollars while being here in the Philippines and I can even continue doing this even when I get hired.
I earn money online by ghost writing, transcribing, blogging and other freelancing stuffs. If you will read my previous posts, you’ll get some ideas on how to earn a steady income online.
Back to Nursing, here’s a list of some of the hospital requirements for application for a staff nurse position and training:
