Meron parin bang Nov 2023 Rn na unemployed?

*PLEASE DON'T JUDGE ME PO*

Pakiramdam ko hindi ako umuusad na istuck ako after my boards and graduation🥲

For the context after boards nakapag work naman ako pero palagi akong nag immediate resign sa trabaho dahil di ko nakakayanan ang pressure sa trabaho di ko naman sila mailagay sa resume ko kaya nanatili parin akong no experience given the fact na isa ako sa mga dean Lister sa school namin with high board ratings pero in reality pantay pantay lang talaga tayong lahat as a Nurse hindi naman talaga yan tinitingnan yan sa realidad ng buhay. Hindi ko matanggap na ganito ang sitwayson ko sa sarili ko ngaun pinaghirapan ko yung narating ko noon lahat ng oras, financial, effort ng pag aaral ginawa ko kahit pandemic student nurse ako noon talagang inaral ko yung degree ko with all my heart and effort na iniisip ko if ever mag duty na kami at least i know something, Ako yung student na palaging tinatanungan ng mga kaklase nila kapag may tanong sila sa subject or sa clinical rotations namin pero ang ending ko ay isang unemployed, lost Nurse ngaun. Naloloka nga ako eh yung mga kaklase ko na relax lang noong college days sila pa ang mas nag grow at nag advance sa career nila as nurse ngaun kaya di ko maiwasan na MAS madisappoint sa sarili ko at tanungin sa sarili ko ANONG NANGYARI SAAKIN? Sila nasa abroad na AKO ganito parin naistuck ako sa nakaraan.

Naghanap naman ako ng work nag walk in ako nag pasa ng resume lahat ginawa ko pero parang may trauma na ako everytime na mag apply ako wala akong excitement na maramdam kundi takot at duda sa sarili "paano kung mangyari ulit saakin yung dati"? Nag try ako ng soft nursing pero usually need ng year hospital experience for PHRN positions. Para akong timang kahit sa panaginip ko pakiramdam ko nag duduty parin ako sa last workplace ko . Pag may nakikita akong mga naka scrub suit na nurses nagiisip ako na ano na kaya itsura ko ngaun kung di ako nag resign at nilakasan ko ang loob ko noon?

Mababait naman mga kasama ko noon sa workplace ko pero dumating sa punto na parang na overwhelmed ako sa ginagawa ko until pumasok sa isip ko that time na mga negative thoughts isama mo pa dyan may mga co worker ka na negative influence sayo, mga chismisan na pakiramdam ko minsan akala mo ikaw pinag chichismisan i get paranaoid that time di ko alam sino pagkakatiwalaan ko. Tapos dagdag mo pa yung anxiety pre and post duty wala akong peace of mind. Dumating sa point na gusto ko nalang mawala para di ako mapahiya sa mga taong tumulong saakin sa pag papaaral.

Ngaun nagsisi ako sa mga desisyon ko sa sarili ko kung di lang sana ako umalis agad agad sa mga trabaho na trinabahuan ko edi sana ngaun hindi ako nahihirapan ngaun, kung nilakasan ko lang loob ko edi sana di ako ganito ngaun. Next month boards na naman dadami na naman ang mga nurses mas lalo na naman ako mapagiiwanan. For the context being a nurse is not my dream job but nung inaral ko sya i give all my love and effort to learn my degree but it only makes me a negative person and much more perfectionist.

Ngaun di ko alam anong gagawin ko sa buhay ko di naman kami well off family, yung mama ko senior na bunso ako sa pamilya namin although di nila ako pinepressure but lalo akong naprepressure sa sarili ko di na rin kasi ako bumabata pakiramdam ko wala na akong silbi dito sa mundo. Iniisip ko nga kung di sana ako nag nursing hindi ata masasayang ang career ko. Pakiramdam ko wala na akong career at kinabukasan.

Gusto ko magpatulong hindi ko alam sinong masabihan ko I isolate myself from my friends 3 years ago na nahihiya naman ako mag reach out to them at magkwento sa sarili ko kasi sila nga nakayanan nila yung hirap tapos AKO sumuko na agad ni wala pa nga akong napapatunayan sa sarili ko.

Gusto ko na mag move forward. Until now im still searching a right soft nursing job for me at least dito muna ako for the meantime but naiisip ko parin bumalik sa hospital to gain hospital experience if nakaipon na ako ng pera to upskill for trainings then try abroad. But madami paring pwede magbago sa future i still don't know but i want to try.

May pag asa pa kaya ako sa career ko as a Nurse?

May mga nurses na katulad ko din ba?

May RN2023 na still unemployed?

I hope you don't judge my story po but help me out to figure this life and career. Thanks!

Given how hard it is to enter LEFORA, I will share nalang po their ban list. Being banned in Lefora means those agencies/recruiters cannot recruit, refer or promote their agencies sa group and that they probably have issues or red flags as noted by the memebers of the group to justify the ban.

Reminder lang po na you still have the freedom to pursue the agencies above but make sure to do a proper research about them before engaging in any transactions. Also, I personally dont know what their issues are so even if you ask me, di ko din alam or masasagot

So please take this list only as a guide, not a bible.

I am based in Cebu but I'm open to relocating to Luzon. I tried to inquire in hospitals all over Cebu, but they either ghost me or say that "they are not hiring" and then I find out that they have just deployed more nurses from universities.

Please tell me as I don't know much about how this works. Do they prioritize fresh grads from universities? Like per batch? I graduated 2022, passed the boards at 2024 but I had to help my family for their business. I only volunteered as a medical assistant in a clinic for two years as well. I'm wondering if they won't consider me anymore because I graduated years ago... or if its really just a hiring freeze..

Hi good day! May medical mission dito sa lugar namin and nag puntayung father ko. Tinanong ko kung na ecg ba sya pero ang sabi daw ng doctor is makikita na sa dugo yon, nakita ko mga laboratories nya and cbc and a1c lang ang andon. Wala din naman syang mga pang cardiac na laboratories. Possible po ba na makikita sa dugo yung result ng ecg?

Hi, PHRN in EXL is it worth it for soft nursing beginners ? Is the salary competitive enough? I need some answers before i will proceed with the job offer. TA told me i passed the final interview and expect the JO 24-48hours. Please help me

Hello! Any thoughts po sa Accenture USRN Account? I have 2 years and 7 months bedside experience, no BPO experience. Worth it po ba? Planning to apply and looking for someone na rin to refer me. Thanks!

Hi! I would like to know if you guys can suggest a good and trusted recruitment agency for bedside nursing in the US. I've applied for Avant and O'Grady so far but wanted to hear some more suggestions before proceeding. Ano bang masasabi nyo din regarding HealthCarousel, PassportUSA, AMN and WWHS? Dami ko kasing nabasa dito naka mention and I'm confused kasi mixed yung mga replies hehehe

Hi po ask ko lang ok lng ba yun experience sa hemodialysis unit when u planning to work abroad? 6 months ako nasa floor currently my head nurse ask me if gusto ko ba dito, thanks po

Recently started as a company nurse at a depot. Wala pa akong one week sa company then biglang tumawag yung city hall sakin, letting me know that my application for the public hospital under my city is currently for clearance and that they’ll give me my deployment date before the end of July.

I passed the exam and evaluation last April sa city hall, I have been waiting for an update since then. Nainip na ko that’s why I applied for the company nurse position. Now, I don’t know what’s the best thing to do. Mag AWOL ba ako sa company nurse once I secure my deployment date or let the HRD of the city hall know I need to render for 30 days sa current employer ko? Letting the HRD know about the rendering would set my application at risk for pooling and that would cause further delay or idk baka ibasura na completely yung application ko.

Please help me po. I would give up anything para sa bedside, but nakakaguilty yung thought ng AWOL because the HR department of the company has been nothing but kind to me, considering it’s my first job ever too.

Hi everyone!

Can anyone kindly criticize my work? Is this good enough na? Any tips, advice, guides, etc. would be incredibly helpful, and I'm definitely taking everything in a positive way!

Just a bit of context regarding my resume layout:
I intentionally used just one bullet point per hospital and generalized it for all the wards I rotated in. I did this on purpose so it wouldn't reach 2 pages and become too wordy. I feel like it might be better to just save the specific details for the interview.

Can you guys reco a good agency that will assist/sponsor for Us journey

I am a nurse with almost 3 years of experience. Passed the NLE last 2023 and NCLEX this 2026. I already sent my CV to PRS and scheduled for initial interview. What is the questions I need to prepare of? Thank you so much

Hey everyone, I’d really appreciate some honest advice from other nurses or anyone who’s been in a similar situation.

I’m currently working as a homecare nurse in the Middle East earning about 37.5/hour on a 240-hour/month contract. I’m 6 months away from finishing it.

I’ve already passed NCLEX and I’m trying to apply to agencies to go to the US, but two agencies have already told me I need more bedside (hospital/rehab) experience.

Right now, I have two options:

Current assignment:
Non-critical bedridden patient
I stay in for 3 days, 4 days off (allowed to sleep there)
I can reach ~288 hours/month with overtime
BUT overtime rate drops to 25/hour

Possible new assignment:
Ventilator-dependent patient with trach
12-hour shifts (no staying in)
With assistant
Long commute (~1 hr 15 min each way, but transport is provided)
Less total hours = less income
BUT more hands-on/critical skills

If I switch, I’ll lose overtime and earn less overall. But I’m thinking the ventilator/trach experience might strengthen my resume for hospital or rehab jobs here or in the US.

In this country, competition is really high, so I’m trying to be strategic.

My question:
Would you choose higher income now, or better clinical experience for long-term goals (working in the US)?

Am I overestimating how valuable ventilator/trach experience is for recruiters?

Thanks in advance—really appreciate any insights.

Hi!

I'm a Nov 2025 PNLE passer currently working as a Company Nurse in Cebu. I'm in this position because 5-6 months ago, I couldn't find a hospital that's hiring (esp in Cebu, too saturated).

I already passed my NCLEX last month & I'm gearing towards hospital for the experience.

Now, my dilemma is I have 2 hospitals as my option.

PRIVATE- >I'm up for Physical Exam tomorrow but I'm not certain if its part of the process lang ba or sure na ba talaga na mahire ako since ipapa undergo na ako ng PE. Salary is 2k below from what I earn in the company (I'm unsure what area ako ilalagay but prolly MedSurg floor hahaha kase dun ata newbies DAW). This priv hospital is in Cebu by the way.

PUBLIC- > 30kish for JO. Somewhere in Mindanao (not a problem since I have relatives there where I can stay). 12 hrs duty for 3-4 days. May Philhealth sharing. May qualifying exam next week.

If you were in my position. Considering ikaw eldest among siblings (nasa Cebu na kaming lahat staying under our grandparents' roof). Would you go for the public pero malayo sa siblings mo, or choose the private para magkasama kayo?

Hello po! Ask ko lang po if okay lang po bang mag-apply ulit sa hospital kahit hindi ko po tinuloy yung previous application ko. Nakatanggap po kasi ako dati ng email na hired na ako, pero dahil sa personal reasons, hindi po ako naka-attend ng orientation at contract signing, at hindi rin po ako nakapag-inform sa kanila.

Ngayon po, nakita ko ulit yung hiring post nila sa Facebook, at gusto ko sanang mag-apply ulit. Sa tingin niyo po ba okay lang po kaya na mag-submit ulit ako ng application?

How flexible are they when it comes to continuous bedside experience? Do they allow unit/hospital transfer while waiting? How about working abroad elsewhere (middle east, singapore)?

Please share your experiences with them. Thank you

hi normal ba na walang HMO na inoofer yung work nyo? considering na hospital based pa 😭 or saamin lang?

help po pls :(( idk if tama yung ginawa ko. super toxic na kasi sa area ko right now (hindi workload yung mabigat, pero yung mga tao), so nagresign ako and now pinaparetract daw tapos ililipat nila akong ICU (which is yun yung una ko tlga nirequest)

pero tinuloy ko nalang resignation ko para magfocus sa review ng NCLEX huhu tama ba toh?? feel ko nasasayang yung job opportunity ;(( help po pls

I just passed my battery exam for nursing, so I'm officially a 3rd-year nursing student. Classes just started this week, and I'm feeling pretty anxious about getting lost or overwhelmed. Is this normal? I'm usually the type of student who's super chill and doesn't overthink future problems, but now I feel so anxious kahit wala pang masyadong ginagawa.

I’d like to ask for some advice.
I’m currently working in a primary hospital in the province, and I’ve been here for a year and a half. Lately, I’ve been feeling discouraged because of some issues with my coworkers. On top of that, the hospital has a limited bed capacity since it’s only a primary facility, so I also feel that my opportunities to grow professionally are limited.

One of my goals is to complete at least two years of bedside nursing experience because I know it could be beneficial if I decide to work abroad in the future. I’m just not sure if I should continue pursuing that experience in my current hospital. However, I’m more than willing to start over and spend another two to three years gaining solid bedside experience in a larger hospital if it will better prepare me for an international nursing career.

While still employed, I’ve been applying to hospitals, clinics, and even BPO companies in Manila. I’m hoping to secure a new opportunity before leaving my current job, but so far, I haven’t received any emails or interview invitations.

I’ve started wondering if staying employed is making it harder for employers to consider me. Is it true that most employers won’t wait for candidates who still have a job and need to render a resignation period?

The difficult part is that I can’t afford to be unemployed. I help support my parents financially, and I also have my own expenses to cover. Because of that, I’m hesitant to resign without having another job lined up.

Lately, I’ve also been feeling a lot of pressure because I want to make the right decision for my future. As much as possible, I don’t want to look back one day and regret the choices I made about my career.

Do you think it would be wiser to resign now and take the risk of looking for work in Manila full-time, or should I continue applying while keeping my current job until I receive an offer?

hello future RNs! if anyone of you is interested makihati sa The Game Changer Book ni Sir Archie Alviz, just dm me! will share it for 100 pesos na lang, will send the pdf file sa email niyo. thank you :)

I got a job offer from them but I can't find a job description huhu

I'm just asking if they are voice or non-voice (my position is Executive)

Then is the working environment okay and the calls if ever na ito voice? I ayaw ko kasing minumura ako nagagalit akk naninigaw ako ng CS pero ayan yung behavior ko yung financial yung account ko

Hi everyone,

I’m a Filipino RN and recently interviewed for a Registered Nurse position in British Columbia.
The interview went really well, and afterward they asked me to submit my references and complete a previous employment/experience form. I’ve already submitted everything, and I believe they’ve started (or will soon start) contacting my references.

For those who have been through the BC Health Authority hiring process:

How likely is it to receive a job offer once they’ve requested references?
Is requesting references generally a positive sign, or is it still common for candidates to be rejected at this stage?
How long did it take for you to receive a job offer after your references were checked?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience.
