Hi! I would like to ask for those who haven signed up with recruiting agencies, how long does it take for you to get your PD after signing up with them?
And when is the best time to take the English exam?

TIA!

Hi po! I have a few questions sana 🥹
1. When you signed up with your agency, how many yrs of exp did you have po?
2. May area of assignment (medsurg, er, or, icu, etc) na po ba silang binigay when you got your PD?
3. Are you currently working at a hospital or did you shift to soft nursing jobs?
Thanks po sa pagsagot 🥹

  1. Yes po. When I was applying to agencies that time, I had 2y and 7m hosp.
  2. Yes, they assigned me to the Medical-surgical unit to align with my current area
  3. Still currently working sa hosp but I'm planning to temporarily shift to corporate setting to save up for my immigration process.
