Manila Hospital Nurse Requirements - Updated May 2014

On this day and time, being a nurse in the Philippines is a real challenge. We all know, yes including you, that our course is one of those that can't go by without 100% dedication. What's sad is that we mostly are looked upon at by other professionals because of our rate of unemployment, etc. But what can we do with our fate? As one who wants to leave the country for a better salary (which they can't provide for us here) we need hospital experience. Which, by the way needs tertiary (preferably 300 bed capacity hospital experience). And not every nurse in Manila is blessed with their own 'backers' to get them hospital jobs. So, what the hell is the rest of us gonna do? Here's a tip: PASS YOUR RESUMES TO EVERY HOSPITAL THERE IS. There's no harm in trying, in taking a chance. With a little bit of luck, you might just find yourself getting the job you need!

And the process WILL be tiresome. Exhausting to say the least, but you better buck up. Not everything can be served on a silver platter for you.

St. Luke's Medical Center-Global City Requirements

3. Certificate of Board Rating and Passing

- You can submit your requirements at SLMC-GC. Just enter through the entrance near S&R to Basement 1 and submit to the HR (manpower and staffing) directly! Do not give it to the security guard! You'll have a better chance of being prioritized there.
- If given a text to return for further interview, you'll be given an IQ test for 15 minutes and a brief interview afterwards.
- Trainees will have to undergo a three-month training program worth 10k for the whole course. This is known as the Post-Graduate Nurse Training Program (PGNT). After passing the course, there will be a 'free' one month training and only then will you be up for evaluation for absorption. Though, according to numerous threads, most trainees really are absorbed. Though not instantaneously.

I have trained there last year, only finishing the first phase, but at least one thirds of my batch who continued are already staff nurses. Though not everybody who passed were given recommendation letters. If given the glory, their contract lasts for 3 years.

(PGH) Philippine General Hospital Requirements

1. PRC License, in absence, may use the claim stub
2. Picture of any size, preferably the one you used for the PRC filing

- Before entering the premises you need to submit a valid ID with your picture in it in exchange for a visitors pass. Applicants may head directly to the DNRD, in front of ward 6. You can ask people there because it may be a bit tricky heading there.
- At the DNRD, you'll ask for a stub for an examination and head back near the lobby to pay at the cashier (200 Php). Then you'll go back to the DNRD to choose the date of your examination.
- PGH only has exams twice a month and they do the exams for man pooling purposes. It is said that there is 85-90% mortalities in their exam, so you have to review hard. If in case you fail, you can re-take the examination after 2months. The exam really isn't that hard, it's more of basic and procedural stuff that most nurses has forgotten.

Updated as of May 2014

Medical Center Taguig

This is a very-soon-to-rise private hospital in Taguig City. In between the City Hall and Acacia Estates. Personally speaking, I think it has great potential for a lot of residencial condominiums are rising near it. According to their HR Head, Mr. Chad, the hospitel (yes, that's the term people) will have 100+ bed capacity upon soft opening and will have 250+ when it's fully finished. The hospitel is used because the 50+ founders want a "hotel" environment rather than that of a hotel.

Requirement:

1. Resume

That's all. Easy eh? Just proceed to the site (still in construction) and pass your resume. They're very keen on having your correct number. A lot has passed resumes with the wrong mobile numbers. And ta-dah, cannot be reached.

Then, you will be given a schedule for a nursing aptitude test. 80% passing rate. 80 items = not below 60 points. If you passed or did not, they will contact you.

If successful, they'll interview you if you fit for the position.

Frankly, they want residents near the area. But since they need more, they also accept those from other places.

Goodluck!
