Dedicated to Daisy, Luigi & Mercy 
This shared information is intended for Philippine based BSN and/or RN
As a Philippine Registered Nurse waiting for my NCLEX eligibility, I at first found it difficult to apply for local hospital jobs here due to the many board passers and the conflict of compensation for nurses in the Philippines.
I managed to research Continued Education for Nursing that initially is provided by the recognized
Philippine Nursing Association (PNA) a member of the International Council of Nursesusually held at the National Chapter.
http://www.pna-ph.org/mainframe.html. The PNA offers seminars wherein half day would cost 300 for members and 350 for non-members, they also provide trainings where cost would range from 600 to 2500 depending on the number of days and whether you are a member or not. For half day seminars they are usually held on Fridays.
Then I realized with so much time on my hands I wanted to be more productive, instead of just seminars - I wanted RECOGNIZED trainings as my investment for my chosen profession.
SOME trainings nurses should consider * oh * and take note IT IS IMPORTANT WHERE YOU GET THEM ie. recognized by Philippine Based Hospitals and/or Abroad.
1. IV THERAPY
2. BASIC LIFE SUPPORT
3. ADVANCE CARDIAC LIFE SUPPORT
4. INTERMEDIATE IV, ADVNACE IV & PHLEBOTOMY
5. PEDIATRIC ADVANCE LIFE SUPPORT
6. NURSING HOME CARE
7. PHYSICALL ASSESSMENT & DOCUMENTATION
8. RESPIRATORY NURSING
9. TELEMETRY
10. DIALYSIS
