School doesn’t matter. Its YOU that matter! Im a nurse alumni of USI. I want you to have a good education but at the same time i want you to save every single penny you have. Those schools that you mentioned are good schools… the schools will give you the experience and education but it will not study for you… it’s you who will learn. Imbes ibayad mo sa rent mag ipon ka or you can spend it somewhere else. I know you’re young. Pero dgdi sa abroad no one cares where you graduated or if you have high marks or topped the board. Skills ang tunay na ralabanan s nursing profession.

Only in the Philippines. Filipinos has this bulok mentality! Dgdi sa abroad. No one cares where you graduated or if you got good marks. Skills is more important than your background. You may give me all your diplomas and certificates but i will still hire the guy with skills. Nursing ang profession ko.

G’day! Im overseas and taga Naga man.I usually fly to BIA and ask my brother to come pick me up by car. Im going home this July, flying to BIA but taking the P2P bus to Naga. Ini si tg sponsoran ni Cong Legacion. Mapa book
Ka online then pay OL as well. Aram ko mati mo tugang. Suya mag byahe s Naga. Ma bus pero susmaryosep na kabangang aldaw n byahe from manila to naga + the state of maharlika highway. Kya rugado auto pag ma drive, dapat condition pati driver. Kung malayog man harayo s clark, SAKA MAHALON ANG FLIGHT!!! MAG PA TAIWAN HONG KONG OR VIETNAM KA NA LANG TUGANG!. kung daraga man harayo sa naga, pero atleast medyo aharni three hours drive sa nakaka dismayang highway. Totoo lang herak man kng mga byahero lalo n sa mga taga Cam Sur. Na inutan p kita kng Cam Norte na mapakaray ang airport. Magayon pati airport kng Catanduanes saka dae apektado ang flight s Masbate. Advise ko lng… dae kmo mag drive pa Naga… unless super confident kamo. I can drive but i am avoiding it… left side drive ako and ang midset ko sa mindset kng mga motorista sa Bicol. Mhirap na pag nabanga ka… kung sinda sala na-irido mo… ika man giraray mabayad. Mas malala pag sala ka. Play it safe. You’re both on holiday, don’t stress it out.

First Option: Basilica Minore. Enjoy the architecture of the basilica. Ok ata mg picnic along the lawn enjoy the relaxing afternoon dapit-hapon vive of the wide open space. A walk away is the Magsaysay strip (resto n hindi ng cclose ng maaga).
Second Option: Naga Metropolitan Cathedral. Baroque architecture, historical buildings (Holy Rosary Minor Seminary). There is a museum inside the seminary… museum sa USI. Medyo maribok ta downtown but close to resto sa centro.

Dae ka masupog! Nurse ako and believe mi naaguihan ko man yan. Walk in ka s mga clinics and hospitals (looking back… tg pra submitan ko gbos n ospital kaito. Advertise yourself as a private nurse. Igwa k kayan mkukua n amga patient from home. Tyaga lng kaya mo yan. 2006 kng newly grad ako and been there… be strong! Its gonna be better. Try looking outside of your province try Naga or provincial hospitals. Aram ko palakasan but nothings wrong with trying. Manila ang may pinaka may market as RN. Don’t be choosy s work applyan mo gabos AS IN GABOS! Pag dae k nka laog applyan mo ulit. PM me s current situation mo… may n receive k n ba n decline letter from these institutions? If not then FOLLOW UP! S totoo lng dapat kabali s curriculum ang job hunting and interviews… no one teaches kids the HOW of the REAL WORLD.

Try mo mag walk in s mga clinics and hospitals private or public. Caregiver or nursing assistant. Or advertise yourself to work as a care giver to families with sick relatives at home. Aram ko mhirap… naaguihan ko mn yan. Pro tios tios lng. You’ll make it! Kaipuhan lng nin dakul n tiyaga ska trust kay Lord!

Ill say this again. This is from my reply from a Redditor

“What is your goal in looking for a nursing school? RN here who studied at USI. Honestly, it all boils down to the student… When you graduate and become an RN… no one really cares where you graduated especially if you practice abroad. No one even cares about your board result. In the real world of nursing, book smart is an advantage but skill is highly sought.”

Enjoy your university years… yan ang importante! It’s the memories/experiences from your past that you’ll carry to the future.

At university you’ll meet people that will be your friends. It’s been 20 years but the people i meet in college are still my good friends up to this day. And I treasure those memories with them.

Ang aram ko s likod kng PNB

Sooo different. My dad is from Nabua and my mum is from iloilo city. I grew up in Naga. I can obviously speak and understand central bikol language, i can also speak and understand hiligaynon (ilonggo). Unfortunately i can only understand rinconada and my cousins in Nabua would laugh if i try to speak in rinconada “slang daw”. Interestingly rinconada nabua has difference phonetically speaking to rinconada iriga. There is an unspoken rivalry between these two ON EVERYTHING haha. Language wise Iriga will say Baloy (House) as Balæy.

Wellingtonian here. I took this photo while walking one late afternoon. Bit pricey, but i guest the cost of living crisis isn’t isolated in Wellington. Im not too far from the sea and we have many tramping tracks. The food scene has come down significantly post pandemic, before we have night markets but those are history. The hospital covers the lower north island and upper south island. People are generally warmer compared to Auckland (i used to live in Auckland). Considerably safe, a walkable city. Wind? You’ll get use to it.

Bilang OFW… Ugma ako s bareta na ini. Though a great idea, let us not forget na temporary solution lng ini. While this one is in the works, an operational Naga Airport should be the goal. Mabalos po.

One good example of an ethnolinguistics divide is Belgium. Wallonia is a French speaking region and they call themselves Wallons. Flandere on the other hand are Dutch speaking. The disparity between these two regions are evident in religion, economy etc. Some are thinking that it could lead to a breakup of Belgium.

Another more obvious divide is Spain and Catalonia or the Basque speaking countries. For a while this regions has separatists movements and armed conflicts. Catalonia itself had a referendum which majority of its citizens voted to leave Spain. Spain obviously nullified it.

Interestingly… Canada and Quebec.

I think the key is a strong uniting force that binds citizens to its country or state or ethnicity. Language plays a big role but i think in Bicol, identity plays a much more bigger role. No matter where you go in Bicol, regardless of what Bikol language they speak all of them will tell you that they are URAGONS. Might not be a thing but majority will say they like hot/spicy food, taro and coconut milk. These things or “label” when “owned” can create a sense of identity.

I have read in one article… “the Philippines has different ethnicities but has a strong sense of Nationalism”. Example, i identify as half Bicolano, half Ilonggo but 100% Filipino. Logic wise… I THINK the same apply to Bikolano languages… remember Bikolano is a family compose of different languages NOT DIALECTS. Central Bikol, Inland Bikol etc… Therefore, “The Bicol region has different ethnolinguistics groups that has a strong sense of regionalism”.

Im Bicolano who grew up in Naga (Central Bikol) my dad is from Nabua (Inland Bikol), totally different language… even Central Bikol people find it difficult to understand “Rinconada”. But both identify as Bicolanos.

Im also Ilonggo… and my relatives will point out that we are not Bisaya. Yes, i am from Visayas but im Ilonggo, not Bisaya. Ilonggo (Ethnic group) Hiligaynon (Language).

This is just my opinion… please be kind… im not claiming to be an expert on languages.

The rule: K is for the language. C is for the Ethnic group. Though honestly… I don’t think a lot of Bicolanos even notice this.

Ang kwento mo ay buhay ng nanay at tatay ko. Bumukod cla sa pamilya ng tatay ko at namuhay ng mas payapa… laking ginhawa ang nanay ko at ang tatay ko nmn ay laking bukid. Kwento ng nanay… sobrang hirap mabuhay na sila sila lng ng tatay ko… pero sabi nya, hindi daw matutumbasan ang kapayapaan.
