I am about to graduate in MSN!

Cheers to another milestone this year! 🥂

I’m so grateful I took the leap and pursued my Master’s while working full-time as an ER nurse. I recently defended my capstone, and my panelists even encouraged me to publish it! 🥹🥰 Kinilig akooo!

Balancing work, graduate school, NCLEX (passed it ❤️)and now PTE preparation hasn’t been easy. I barely had time to go out and enjoy life, but thankfully, this journey has changed me in unexpected ways. I no longer drink alcohol, I eat healthier, and I’ve learned to cook my own meals more often since I started living in my apartment. In a way, I’ve become more intentional about how I spend my time and take care of myself.

Now, I’m wondering how I can make the most of my upcoming MSN degree.

For nurses with an MSN, what opportunities opened up for you?
Was it worth it financially and professionally? Would you recommend leadership, education, research, or working abroad?

I’d love to hear your experiences and advice. Thank you in advance!🥰

Pa-rant lang po.

Umabsent ako today kasi NAPUNO na ko ng sobra dahil ang nasa resume ko lang AND ang sinabi lang naman nila na kasama sa Job Description ko ay STRESS TEST not STRESS ECHO, gets ko na business is business, pero low and behold gumagawa na rin ako ng Stress Echo dahil syempre pera pera din, also pinaka ayoko talaga is they don't inform me the first thing palang in the morning, since alam naman na nila yun before pa, inform lang sila sakin kung kailan PAUWI na and nandyan na yung pasyente, syempre di ko naman na matanggihan. Also nagpapa-stress test pala sila na walang supervision ng Doctor, not even forming a consent form lol. Sobrang daming mali sa clinic na yun na di ko alam bat nakalagpas sila sa DOH or baka nga di pa accredited lol.

Sabihin niyo sakin, "umalis ka na" aalis naman po talaga ako, aalis na ko dito sa PH talaga, hinihintay ko nalang ulit marebook yung ticket ko 😭. Kung di ko lang talaga kailangan ng pera haay.

Hello ask ko lang if sino po dito na final interview in Our lady of Lourdes Sta. Mesa and ano pong madalas na tinatanong sa oral revalida
Thank youu

Hi! I had my initial registration at PRC lucky chinatown branch with my friend. I saw that we should also get our lupon at the branch where we had our initial registration. However, I asked my friend and she got hers at the Morayta branch. Kaya medyo confused ako if san ba talaga pwede. I checked the appointment locations and Morayta and Lucky Chinatown are not on the lists din even if I tried.

Thank you in advance to those who will comment!

i've been working 8 months sa as dso na nurse and na assign ako sa hc yung doctor kasi is nilagy nako for non renewal.

reklamo sakin
ang paratang sakin hindi ko daw alam magbigay ng bakuna for baby and ntp meds, at paulit ulit daw akong tanong ng tanong kung ano ha dapat ibabakuna dapat alam ko daw yan since nurse ako, nung mga 6 months nako alam kona and kabisado kona binibigay at tranaho ng hc nurse e pero kasama padin to sa IR na ginawa sakin. diba unang una dapat may proper training and isa disease surveillance officer ako. ang pinirmahan kong actual duties ko is dspat sa nag ffield

nung nagrequest kami ng appeal sa taas binaba kami sa district tapos nung patapos na sinabi lang ng head doon na more on explanation lang mangyayare for non renewal, diba pag nag appeal dapat may laban kami. pano kaya gagawin namin

ang fucked up lang kasi feel namin may power yung doctor, pero grabe kung makalagay ng for non renewal akala mo nakapatay kami kung idefend nya

hi KUNARS! stuck sa dilemma and need your perspective.

nag-apply ako sa soft and bedside nursing, pero 2 callbacks pa lang natatanggap ko (both clinic area).

gusto ko sana mag-soft nursing muna for a few months para makafocus sa NCLEX review since mas light ang workload compared sa hospital.

on the other hand, dad's encouraging me to do bedside agad. Sabi nya para sa clinical experience at makaalis agad ng bansa ASAP lalo na sa lala ng ekonomiya ngayon. Dapat daw yung work ko ngayon, ticket ko na agad pa-abroad.

Ano sa tingin nyo? If you were in my shoes, ano pipiliin nyo?

Hello mga Kunars! I am 40. Planning to go back to bedside. Last experience was 2022 for 2 months. Had to resign because I got pregnant and high risk. Question, may same age bracket ko ba who went back and pursued bedside? Already passed my NCLEX last 2023 and I still want to pursue my American dream.

hello just want to know ur thoughts po as a Billing Staff sa greencity and what are the workloads and type of interview and exam. TYIA

August 2026 PNLE passer here. I recently got a job offer sa isang Animal Bite Center. Okay lang ba kaya na mag-soft nursing muna ako before mag-bedside nursing? May mga disadvantages ba if ever I choose soft nursing first before bedside? I honestly want to work sa bedside kaso wala kasing hiring dito samin and I badly want to work so that I can save up and study for NCLEX. TYIA.

Hello anyone here who sent NClex documents on NYSED, in some circumstances, did they return back the documents to you?

Hi.I’m a female nurse ,53 & single currently employed in KSA for the past 20 years.Lately,i am thinking of trying to take NCLEX & hopefully plan to migrate to USA. I just want to ask your honest opinion if it is still worth trying @ my age?
To those who have migrated in USA @ 50’s ,how are you doing it there now?

For those who applied at the green hospital in Davao, how long did it take for HR to contact you after the final interview? Did they inform you if you got hired or not? Thank you!

Hello! Anyone had any experience applying here? They’re currently open to recruit nurses to netherlands. Please share info if you have knowledge regarding the process of their face-to-face employer interview. Thanks!

Hello po!

Would like to ask lang po sana what does incentive mean in the context of nursing or in general? Like nasabi po kasi na depende sa position and all, pero makukuha mo po ba yun monthly or magb-base yung amount somewhere such as during overtime, etc?

I want to work sa sg sana. Kaso di ko alam papano. Gusto ko sana duon spend yung time ko while waiting for my priority date. Thanks

Good day,

I was hired as a dialysis nurse 3 years ago and waiting for my visa interview. To be honest, I don’t like dialysis nursing anymore. Lately, I had problems with cannulation and I got really frustrated. I already question myself. I just wonder if once I arrive in US, can I shift to other department immediately? I don’t want to be in trouble. Thanks!
