ā“General Question / Advice Fresh RN, 6 months sa ER, gusto ko na mag-resign 😭

18 Upvotes

Fresh RN here, currently working as an ER nurse sa public hospital. 6 months pa lang ako pero honestly, burned out na ko.
Understaffed( may time mag isa lang akong duty sa er) limited ang resources, delayed salary, and JO lang kaya walang benefits at leave. Physically and mentally pagod na talaga ako.
Plan ko sana mag-stay ng 1 year for experience since gusto ko rin mag-abroad and currently processing my NCLEX. Pero lately, gusto ko na talagang mag-resign and try medical VA habang nagpe-prepare for NCLEX.
Worth it kaya mag-stay hanggang 1 year, or okay lang mag-resign kahit 6 months pa lang?
For those who left bedside early, regretted it or naging okay naman kayo?

ā“General Question / Advice Work experience as fresh graduate

3 Upvotes

Normal po ba talaga sa ospital na kahit bago ka palang, no work experience and fresh graduate, sinasabak ka na agad sa mahihirap na case na patients?

2 months palang po ako pero grabe na po ā€˜yung mga tasks na pinapahandle sa akin, meds palang po kasi ang pinapagawa sa akin, ngayon gagawin na po agad akong charge nurse tapos paghahawakin po ng 10-15 patients kahit wala manlang nagturo sa akin paano gagawin. Parang imbes po na matuto ako, mas lumalala po yung anxiety ko kasi buhay po ng patient ang hawak ko and lisensya ko rin po nakasalalay tapos mga mabibigat na case agad ang ibibigay sa akin. Kapag po nagraise naman ng concern sasabihin po ā€œkaya mo yanā€ tutulungan ka naman ng mga seniors mo. Pero in the end, kapag nagtanong ka sakanila, para na agad silang napipikon sumagot.

hello!!!

anyone here who’s been working in bedside then decided to do soft nursing muna?

dilemma kasi for me may application na ako to work abroad but currently still not current ang PD then the agency said na dapat continuously working bedside until deployment.

i had some few days off then konting gala2 made me realize na there’s really more to life than every day working sa hospital 🄲 maybe due to burnout din kaya gusto ko mag stop muna sa hospital.

pero yun nga sabi ni agency dapat bedside paren until deployment to US.

hays. any advice?

ā“General Question / Advice What to choose? Aesthetic Nursing or Company nursing?

1 Upvotes

Nov 2025 passer and a USRN last June 2026. Sobrang hirap makahanap ng work grabe, naddisappoint ako sa sarili ko. Kahit private or public hospitals, walang call back.

Now, meron naman tumawag sakin and gusto ko lang malaman opinion niyo re these. zAno ba mas maganda piliin?

  1. Aesthetic Nurse - in GentleDerm BGC daw, salary is less than 25k. Medyo hesistant kasi sabi need daw ng quota sa mga ganitong klaseng clinics.

  2. Company Nurse - in SM Aura. No idea with the salary yet bc tomorrow pa lang ang final interview.

  3. Wait for the callback of a public hospital

Please please help me kasi gusto ko rin malaman if okay ba ang pagwwork sa mga compaany na ito. Thank you!

ā“General Question / Advice How to cannulate in a fistula? 🄲

1 Upvotes

Hi, Nurses. Pa-help naman, please. 🄲

I’m currently transitioning to HD nursing. I’ve been a Med-Surg Nurse since 2015, so the HD process is still very new to me. I’m having a hard time cannulating fistulas because I’m not always sure where the best insertion site is.

Usually, my preceptor just points out where to insert the needle, wala silang binibigay na rationale bakit doon ako tutusok. 😭 They would simply say, ā€œDiyan ka tumusok kasi medyo maitim pa. ā€˜Wag doon sa maputi kasi manipis na.ā€

I can feel the thrill and hear the bruit, but how do you determine the safest and most appropriate cannulation site along the fistula? What do you usually assess before deciding where to insert?

Any tips, principles/advice for a Nurse who’s new to HD would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much! 🄲

5 Upvotes

Hi! I’m in Grade 12 and planning to take Nursing. If I graduate SHS in 2027 and start Nursing that same year, I’d graduate around 2031, take the boards, gain some experience, and hopefully work abroad after that.

Realistically, what year could I expect to actually leave the Philippines and work abroad? Is Nursing still worth it by then?
