Retake of Examination---Quezon City General Hospital

I was Included in the List of Applicants that needs to Retake the Examination for the Nurse Training Program in Quezon City General Hospital.

:)


I arrived at the SB Hall at 9:15 am, I thought I was late but I saw that my fellow applicants are sitting still in their respective places. I sat in the Front Row. At 9:30 am, Ma'am Marilyn Savella,PhD entered the room and gave us a motivating speech (yes it is indeed motivational than inspirational) before we proceed to our very last ticket to the Nurse Training program the Institution. 


I also think that this pen is my lucky charm

She said that she decided to give us the 2nd chance because she thinks we all deserved it. Maybe some of the applicants didn't study well, or maybe some didn't take their examinations seriously, or maybe didn't have the what we called "LUCK". She also said to us that she chose the easiest set of examination for us, a BONUS examination.

The Moment is here. Examination started at 10:00 am. I do have this confidence that i can pass the said examination. While we are answering, there are some late comers running their way to the hall. They're lucky because the examiners gave them a chance to still have their examination. I answered my Examination for 15-20 mins only. I am praying that my answers will somehow give me a chance to pass. :)

After the examination, we are advised to wait for the results so we waited. After 20 mins of waiting, results are announced but individually. We need to go in the front table and see our results. We are also advised that the passing score is based on the "MEAN" meaning it is the Median of the Highest and Lowest Scores. My Result is... I PASSED THE EXAMINATION!(yahoo!). Most of us passed the examination. In the other hand, there are some who didn't make it. Since i am sitted in the front row, i could see the test results and hear what the examiner and the applicant's conversation. It is unclear to me if the they will still reconsider them.

After the Results were announced, ma'am  Evelyn Banaag and ma'am Marilyn Savella said that there will be a fee in our training which is 4,800/6 months. Our Training is said to be Basic Nurse Training. If we want to have specialization training program after the basic training program, they offer specialization training in the OR, ER and ICU.

To all of my future training mates, CONGRATULATIONS to us and Good Luck to our Journey to the way of Nursing Profession!

My NBI Clearance experience in NBI Main (UN Ave.)


MABUHAY! WELCOME TO NBI!

Mama woke me early because today is my schedule to apply for my NBI Clearance. It's been a year since i haven't applied for it and I'll be needing it for my Job Applications. (I just recently resigned to work...)

I arrived at 9am sharp in UN Avenue. I was surprised at the quantity of people just queued outside the NBI waiting to be called. It was a shocking view but i had no choice but to wait just like other people do.

The picture above is the queued line for the Gentlemen. According to the Officer-In-Charge that i had talked while i am in the line, there are great counts of men that are applying for their clearances today.


       

This is the queued line for Ladies outside NBI infront of Manila Doctor's Hospital. The shots above is inteaded to capture the horrible footage (for me) of the Towing Services for the Unauthorized Parked Vehicles. I think the owners of the motorcycles and car were also inside the NBI to apply for their  clearances. Almost everyone in the line was very surprised on how the Towing Services recovered  enormous counts of motorcyle and a red car. I also felt sorry for the owners of the sais vehicles.

Going back, still in the line,I am still listening to the audio book from Og Mandino's best selling book, which I started listening when I was already aboard on the Jeepney going to Monumento  LRT Station.

Og Mandino done but I am still in the queue.
From 9am til 11:30 am I queued outside. No umbrella (so instant tanning effect in my skin occurred, thanks to the sunny day). We all just stood in the queue...

At 11:00 am, the Officer-in Charge went to ourline. He counted everyone in the line. "It looks like there is a quota...". just told to myself. 

By 11:30 am, we  finally entered the gate of the NBI. But this is just only the start of the MISERY.
The batch which I was included entered the gate and we saw big counts of people inside and also long queue. Many are still standing! We queued near the Entrance gate adjacent to the tent with some Officers which provides us a  fill-up form for the NBI Clearance.

1:00 pm, everyone inside the NBI is famished and thirsty. Anyway, thanks to the walking sandwich and drink sellers ( by NBI cooperative). I did not bought any from them because for me it was over priced. I am saving my money for my further job applications and other renewals. We also felt the heat of the afternoon and still we are standing...

3:30 pm, we are in the front line of the long queue (well I thought it was). We sat in a mono-block chairs provided by the agency (a big thanks!). The queue of the sitting people is for checking / re validation of the fill-up form. So it's easy if you are the one who did applied for it.. If you are applying clearance for your relatives working in another country, you'll need to answer questions and you must have the important documents needed.. After that, we are back to the mono-block chairs.

4:15pm, we tranffered to the line for Payment Lane. As expected, there is a long queue but we are seated in the waiting area.

5pm, Again we stand for that queue. There were no seats available as we continue. We stood infront of the building in which we will be paying our clearances. We felt a little cool air coming from the building because their air conditioner is in their maximum temperature. (yes!it's a blessing)

6pm, We entered the building. It was really cold inside the building! I made my payment in the Payment Counter at 6:27 pm (According to my receipt.) 
After payment, we need to go to the 2nd floor immediately for Encoding of Data. I waited 1 hr before my turn in the Encoding and Fingerprinting which i think is Hi-Tech (I'm just wondering, why they didn't even wipe the lens with tissue or cloth?).

Hi-Tech, Right?

The encoder took me a picture as a part of the Data Collection Procedure. I assumed that i am not pleasing in the picture because of the very long day process ( I might look like a criminal in the picture. LOL!) but on that very moment i really don't care how i look like. I just wanted to end this 1-day long process.

The encoder took my receipt and wrote a date which i can claim my NBI Clearance (January 10, 2014), the reason is there are many pending clearances to be released by the agency..

I leave the NBI vicinity at 8:00pm. I returned in our house at 9:30pm.

********************
I haven't ate lunch. i just took a bottle of Yakult.
This small bottle of Yakult gave me life for this whole tiring day. As i said, i was saving my money and maybe it's a miracle that i haven't felt hungry for the whole day, maybe because i ate a plate of spaghetti for breakfast.

P.P.S
I am not angry or in againts to the NBI. I was just shocked for the 1-day process. It was really 1-whole-day! My precious time is consumed very well. (hohoho!) I did understand that the agency is having a new system for the clearance but i think the agency must gave the citizens a SHORT NOTICE using the mass media to avoid inconvenience in our part.

SMILE. Never be Angry.

Let's welcome this year with JOY and lots of SMILES.


Yehey! Hello it's 2014 people! Firecrackers from different sides of the neighborhood blasted like a bomb and meteors from the skies,whether it's legal or the BANNED ones.
We just had a small meal after the New Year Countdown. We ate some sweet dessert made by my Mama.

I do Hope that everyone of Us become Prosperous and Lucky this year and don't forget this:
We already have everything we need, we just need to work for it.
